200Ah......... cranking..... and if it doesn't start your Bailey you'll get your money back.... Woody.

I'd get one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AV8ER-Ultima- ... 2eb8bf9c7d I have one and they are BRILLIANT; direct replacement for your Lead Acid & better than LiPo!! I also know if you bid just over £100 on the 'make an offer' you'll win....... Just thought I'd let you all know. Woody.

Nope the Av8er one.... Afterall that's what this thread is about.

I have one on order. I liked the way that the weight of the fuel is distributed, a bit like wearing a well packed rucksack, rather than having all the weight low down under the engine. And now that we can fly with more than 10litres this has become important. You can also attach an additional tank for even more fuel capacity. I've also seen how strong the frame is and that it's also pressure tested to check for any leaks. I'm looking forward to getting mine!! Woody

About 6:30 to 7pm. Just looked at the ballooning forecast 6-9kts should be ok. Woody

@Morgy - my fuel consumption improved by at least 0.5 litres an hour. @Outkast - i coolant find any on Harlow so I ended up at Enfield. I'm probably flying Westmill tomorrow late afternoon Dave. You be there?? Woody

Cheers guys!! I knew I could rely on this forum for an answer. Aswell I've been using ZX1 Microlube Oil in my TTS and on my Black Devil I've been getting about 4 1/2 litres an hour... Cheers again, Woody

Hi all, Can you get Castrol TTS from Halfords anymore?? The only stuff they stock now is Castrol Power1 Racing, in a gold 1litre bottle. Is this the same stuff? Can it be used instead of TTS?? cheers for your help, Woody

Hi All, I used to have a heavy lead acid battery on my paramotor, but I've recently switched to one of these. It's a direct replacement for a lead acid with about 120 cranking amps, my lead acid used to provide about 40! Its a different type of technology from LiPo and doesn't involve special chargers, charge bags, etc etc. You can leave it on the shelf for 12 months and it wont loose charge, it fits directly on to my Corsair Black Devil with no modification to the wiring. I've attached a couple of images showing the differences in weight. The lightweight one weighs 600g and the lead acid weighs 1500g, so a net saving of 1KG. Light Weight Battery Lead Acid Battery I got mine from here -> http://www.av8er.com woody.

Hi All, I've just found these on FleaBay, which I thought were ideal for monitoring your battery, if you have one fitted to your motor. Its very small, has two connections back to the battery, light and cheap. I'm going to get one and mount it in my throttle next to my tiny tach. have a look:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/12v-LED-Battery-M ... 6894324963 Cheers, Woody.

just tried your mobile - no answer. can you call me? Nick

Hi Rich, I'm Nick 'woody' I fly out of Westmill. I think you've met Andy Davies - I remember him talking about you. We also fly out of Bennington (Private Strip near Stevenange) as well. It'd be good to meet up with you and Dave over a beer one night. Woody

Hi Ian, Have a look at the link to the PDF in my post. Bottom of page 1, section 3.3 it should explain things a bit more. Hope that helps..... Woody.

Although we dont need a licence to fly or indeed require any formal training we still have to adhere to a few rules. I thought I'd dig out a link to a pdf which explains our 'Exepmtion' from too many rules. Its only 5 pages long and worth a read. http://www.paramotorsuk.co.uk/pdf/exemption.pdf but in a nutshell: * Pilot over 16 years old * Aircraft foot launched * Aircraft should not be flown for ariel work * Aircraft should not be flown at night * Aircraft should not be flown other than in sight of surface subject to vfr * Aircraft should not be flown over any congested city / town * Aircraft should not be flown within 500 feet of person, vessel or structure * Aircraft should not be flown when towing any article * Aircraft should not be flown within any ATZ unless permission from ATC sought * Aircraft should not be flown within controlled airspace * Aircraft should not be flown within any prohibited / danger or restricted area * Nothing can be dropped * Give way to everything........ I'm sure there is also something in the Air Law section of this site. just my 2p worth.... Woody.
