  1. Did you buy the wing new? The velcro handles are just a velcro tab with a small loop on it that is on your risers. Do you have a short line running up to a prusik knot? This would be your WTS line.
  2. ps - For active flying you might want to not have the trimmers full out and use your brakes instead?
  3. I fly a Revo2 and although I am wary of the prusic knot I just include it in my preflight for every flight. When I use the WTS I have never removed the velcro handle, I always just hook a finger around the line and that works really well (pic). TBH I hardly ever do that as weight shifting works perfectly (in a Parajet Lightweight Harness).
  4. It's good enough to wear as jewellery. Enjoy your weekend!
  5. Parajet have already worked this out as it might be an option soon for the Zenith. Probably worth giving them a call and asking which Peli case you need.
  6. I've had one of those on my motor for a while, just hours and revs. Paid even less than the link's price though ...
  7. Sorry to ask the obvious Stu, have you contacted Parajet? They have used parts sometimes.
  8. There are several news website carrying this: http://timesleader.com/stories/Spain-terror-arrests-put-paragliding-in-spotlight,187789
  9. Agree with that, use the rasp webpage: http://rasp.inn.leedsmet.ac.uk/RASPtableGM8/RASPtableGM.html I was out for 6.00am this morning, smooth as silk for an hour or so. Sometimes there's a risk of mist in the mornings.
  10. Roman's go home. Write it out a thousand times.
  11. ... then rub your stomach and pat your head whilst jumping on one leg.
  12. Hi Tim, Make sure you're centred to the wing and square onto any wind, even it's virtually nothing. Keep your arms symmetrical and pull from the body not the arms. Then really commit, give it everything and make sure you stay centrally underneath the canopy.
  13. I missed a pretty well all of that nice weather in the spring but I've still clocked up 16 days where I actually got to fly, since Jan 1.
  14. I think that's just for the wing, then make an offer for everything else.
  15. Same as previous, easy to use - no complicated multi-function sub-menus from an interface programmed by someone who nevers uses it themselves. See Apple's interface guidelines for reference

    Nice offer but I don't have a Flymecc, it's a Parajet Custom with a Thor engine.
  18. Looks like a new version req with the addition of the Moster engine. The joy of pdf format is that evolution can be adapted to quickly and a new version released. Perfect for a company like Parajet that is constantly moving forwards.
  19. Thanks Alan. That sentence is confusing and refers to a user log which isn't finished yet. For now the sentence is being removed and the amended manual will be on Parajet's website shortly.

    You beat me to it.
  21. Can I also just say what a cracking header picture on that page.
  22. I asked a few weeks ago - it will only be for the Parajet engine and it may be some way off as they are very busy.

    Cheers Pete, I couldn't use the link 'cos it's pointing at your own computer . Is it the mod which involves making a slot in the valve? Haven't done a full blast and then cut the motor plug check recently, it's always nearly dark when I land or starting to rain or both so it's pack away quickly mode. If it's flooding itself on low revs then leaning off the mixture didn't work when I did that a few weeks ago but I was running a higher oil ratio then so will try it again in case that makes a difference. Would be surprised if I had to look at different jet sizes though may have to. I thought Polini ran their motors and tuned them befoe they left the factory but that may just be marketing hype.
