The original piston was wrong! As Gary says a definite warranty issue.

Love it

For "nil wind days" / thermic and variable direction, I use a power assisted inflation. Taught to me by Michel Carnet. One large step back from lines taught. Half to full power for 10 seconds whilst leaning forward (just enough to direct airflow above leading edge) this creates airflow in towards the pilot's face as air is drawn through the prop. (This can be seen by watching the grass at your feet.) Power off and then begin inflation. I only reapply power once my wing is at the 13:00 position and I've checked wing symmetry. I haven't failed a launch in quite a while and often manage with this technique when others struggle.

Ok see you there

low tides at 06:00 and 18:00 Early one or evening?

Look forward to it Phil

yes

ok see you then

Tuesday looks good.....?

Yep - I've got the week off

Have a good one guys. Sorry I can't join you

I have been using the contour HD for a couple of years now. I have never got on with the provided sticky flat surface mount. The 3M sticky material isn't any good IMO. I abandonned the sticky pad after 3 failures and 3 new pads. On my fly U/L helmet I have some heavy duty sticky velcro and on the flat surface mount I superglued the other side of the velcro to the base of the mount. I run a small back-up cable tie from the base to one of the vents in the top of the helmet. The camera remains a attached to the mount with the provided lanyard.

I'm working at 20:00 in London so was keen on a morning flight. Not to worry - I'll visit you guys when I've no time pressure or maybe see you in Hambrook soon. Have a good one.

Neilzy. See you at your field around 0800 tomorrow?

ok Matt where you based? Neilzy - could come over to Essex for the day - where is your field?

I'm free Friday..... Working on the weekend

That thing is mental Mark took me for a spin a few weeks back - still recovering

Should have been there to keep an eye on you Sorry for bailing out on Friday - was absolutely knackered after a busy night shift. I went for a quick 20 min flight at Barry's but came down as I felt tired. See you soon.

Sounds good - fingers crossed
