Smaller fuel tank, is it a prototype?

He's not called pixie for nothing......

You mooovin' west Phil?

So, as a complete newbie, would the effect of a wing stall or overshoot whilst on the edge of that tower lead to certain death or mild paralysis?? I suppose a wing stall could get hung up and leave him dangling over the edge leading to another complete waste of the rescue services time and our money. Maybe he could use a hook knife and combine it as a B.A.S.E. jump! Oooh look, a pie....

Its on a need to know basis Mark

We do a good veggie pis as well......

You picking me up for this one Daz?? May even bring some Balti pies for you lot.....

Last thing i need is the missus looking on here, she'd suss how much i've spent

Well as Lord Haze's sale thread has turned into a chitty chat all of its own I thought it would be better to start this as it may clarify a few things. These are all facts that have actually happened. My first experience of Parajets was not a great one to be perfectly honest! My first new motor was delivered exactly on the end of the 12 week wait. A few issues with carbs (someone left the bath running in Japan), and other 'parts suppliers' meant they must have been struggling to get the paid orders out the door. Those things I have no control over - accepted. When I got the call from Steve Haze that the motor was sitting in his garage, it was time to high tail it up to Reigate for the handover. It transpired that the motor was delivered with a few 'issues' that Steve was not happy about and had to personally drive the unit back down to Parajet in the morning. Top dealer service, I say! Steve explained what was happening all along and has been great, in fact-brilliant. Quite a few terse emails were sent to Jim at Parajet and he did send out parts to replace things I was not happy about. So now all I had to do was fly the unit. Steve Haze always flys a new unit he sells just to check it for the new owner. After his 15-20 minute flight at Seymours, I noticed a slight drip of oil on the lower crankcase. I did not think it was much to worry about, so cleaned it off. We then located to Barry's farm for training flights in the afternoon. There were a few people there and Steve was running the motor awarness part of his courses. A few different units were used to show various options. I was running the motor up on my back to check for full power. This was over a period of about 5 minutes. When the unit was back on the ground, I had a quick check over. The oil drip was back again!! I was not happy, Steve was mortified..... My phone call to Jim at Parajet was going to be messy - or so I thought. Within the first 2 minutes of hearing the problem - Jim arranged for a whole new Parajet and cage to be sent within 5 days. Hence why I had 2 units sitting in the garage! The new unit has the upgraded harness - which is sooooo much nicer than the old one and a diffrent oil seal design behind the magneto which had failed on the old unit. Steve Moore, who was dealing with the changeover has been brilliant. Even emailing to ask if I had flown the unit yet? It has only been ground tested at the industrial units we run due to noise and moany neighbours. 15 minutes of power runs and various speeds. And no problems. So, after hearing all the tales of Parajets 'customer service', I must admit to being very dissapointed with the first unit. Certain events were out of their control to be fair. This recent episode has brought me back to believing that Parajet have managed to get their house in order re: service/warranty. As I have stated all along, my decision to buy the unit was based on aesthetics (sad but true), and the ability to pick up the phone and talk to someone in England about spares etc. Would I buy another one - Definately YES. Just don't let the service slip again Parajet.....

I'll be thinking about flying - if I did not have to make ANOTHER 8,000 pies for Thursday's match..... One day Mark.

Got wood?

But we make better pies.....

Is there not grass either side of the concrete? Haven't even checked the charts yet Mark!! Si, our choice of bikes is scarily similar.....

Just musing over the mornings threads when a daft idea wafted through the space that is my brain. Is Ford Aerodrome still 'open access'? And could it be used for T/off and landing? Last time I was there on my Yammie EXUP speeding up and down the runway....Ahh the 80's

Useful link given to me by Farmer Dave on the forum. http://tech.flygsw.org/walbro_tuneup.htm There's another good one out there but I can't find the link yet!! Another http://footflyer.com/fix/motor/carburetor/walbro.htm http://www.prme.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10

Ive got two in my garage, ones only got 15 mins flying time, the other is still in the box!!

Just found this after a quicky search... Hi, Here is some information on A545 LA that may be of interest to BMAA members. I have been running my Rotax 582 on A545 since I bought it second hand and I have been very happy with it. It was run on A545 since new. I wanted to find out if there was any issue in changing to TTS oil as that is much easier to source. I have just found out from a very helpful person called John Winfield in the Technical Dept. of Castrol UK that Castrol A545 LA has now been discontinued. The last batch of 1,700 litres was made a few months ago for Trevor Pond who now owns the rights to the Hewland 2-stroke engine. He assured me that TTS is identical to A545 and is now has a red dye in it for people that need to premix. However the downside of this is that it can stain some translucent plastic tanks pink! Regards, Louis

Dave, where are you based mate? Now if it was A747 - I'd be on my way....

Maybe its some sort of 'reverse pshycology' selling technique?
