Well we took or Paramotor to chins and back with no problems It can be done Yes I am aware it can be done by removing the fuel tank and cleaning down/removing components that have had fuel pass through them. What I was getting at is Numpty chops makes it sound like you just "hop" on a plane with all..which is clearly not the case.

"then bring the gear back with them on the plane..." I would like to see any airline allow that with a paramotor once it has had fuel in it.... He truly is beyond belief that guy. ...Enzo loves him though..and wants his babies ...

Kin.. ell ..now all we need is an X Wing fighter and R2D2 .. so when will they be ready ? Seriously.. something tells me you may have a market for this if you can produce an after market fixing kit that looks swanky and can be fixed to different helmet and visor combinations. Hell even the paragliding fraternity could find a use for it Good job for strechting the boundaries of whats possible !

Better than being sent to bloody France all the time to work...

Errm..what I do in my own time, in my own back garden, with my own paramotor is entirely up to me..sadly the neighbours disagree.. On a more serious note I think Enzo did exactly the right thing..he pointed Stuart to me as he knows I had something similar happening.. without the subsequent potential of igniting a flame war about who has the best/worst motor. I believe my circumstances are slightly different to Stuarts. I am actually seeing what appears to be a slight trickle of oil and fuel mix when on idle for a prolonged period (2 minutes plus). Parajet have looked at the unit twice at my request and are not overly concerned and at this stage neither am I. It seems to be a normal thing to happen on any unit to various degrees and as commented elsewhere in this thread wiping off the choke plate after a run addresses the problem with any residue. With specific reference to Stuart's issue I cannot honestly comment as the unit has not been flown for a prolonged period of time yet. Secondly the oil residue I am seeing is not black its clean two stroke oil on mine. Perhaps as others have suggested this is a reed valve issue? I dont normally do this but this I will comment here specifically about Parajet. Their service to date has been exemplary. They are responsive and genuinely concerned about any issue you raise with them, and if replacement parts are required, they are sent out without quible and always in good time. They sent me a new carb as a precaution after discussing a potential issue with them, and I never even asked for it. It was simply an enquiry. On the occaisions I have visited the factory to date they always made time to tend to my requirements, and if given sufficient advance notice, they pull one of their engineers off the shop floor almost immediately to come and discuss matters directly. In summary a BIG thumbs up for Parajet IMHO @ Stuart..If you do want to talk to me directly just PM me and I will pass on my personal number so we can have a chat.

No chance!... I eat them all before he can give some to anyone else

Im gonna strap one of these to my back ..Where do I sign up?

I am saving up for one of these ....

And to confirm that I sat with two more people yesterday who said exactly the same You know who you are....

I have no option... go for it I feel I have to give something back somehow besides the money..raising awareness is certainly one way PM me the details?

He means the washing machine in his garage ....it has more thrust than the Bailey you know

Bloody Hell ..he landed at my old School.. Jolly good show old bean! Ah well I guess I will have to do the same when I cross the channel from France And yes when I have had several more flights I fully intend to explore this as a means of raising funds for Cancer Research .. as someone who has been treated and is recovering from cancer it's the least I can do

You are right.. I still need to progress beyond a flying landcruiser right now

Any more news on this ?????

Are you guys not in the LTMA there? More to the point where are you flying from? I live just off of junction 4/4a of the M3 and it would be good to know there are fellow fliers just down the road. As it stands at present I have to travel 70-80 miles if I want to meet up with other people that fly. I am still under instruction and only had 6 flights but I am hoping that will be remedied fairly soon. Darren.

Gratz mate..not a moment too soon for you Great photos.. you look better in those than in real life ! Now if only Pigs did fly.. perhaps my turn will come again one day...

Funny as hell..wonder who the two loons in the video were... Must say though the pies were superb ! Almost made up for the fact that Enzo tried to make me a human catapult later that day...

Neva ! Because I will have eaten them all before they get to the shops !!!! Muwhahaha Well done Enzo.. when's my next Pie delivery????

That's Enzo for ya ....always blaming some other forum for his own misgivings about a product..

No need for special gloves? Wonder how that works

Ahem..another bump

I have a second hand Paramania Revo 2. Never flown and only ground handled for about 15 mins to check it over. Manufactured in late 2011. Size 26m. Nightshade Colours.. Presently on eBay with just under 4 days to run. PM me if you are interested. Darren.

Errm ...bump.. 4 days left !

Tempted... but with only 4 flights and a broken leg to my name I think you can safely count me out at this stage

500 smackers to avoid becoming a stain on someones cockpit window seems relatively cheap to me
