  1. free admission for s1buell... Free every thing if he flies over on his own kit. Well, I tried but got lost between a beach house full of bikinis and North America! I had the water proof back on the Gopro and it fogged, I lost the best part of the video. Tube mount for GP does not work well to much vibration. Its to bad it would be in a great spot. I’m going to try the risers and the tube mount next. http://youtu.be/JinfUsxPYzw
  2. How do I get there from Brazil? http://maps.google.com/maps/place?ftid= ... mAXetdn5Cg You guys enjoy! I'm cutting out of work for a nice rip up the beach!
  3. Hi s1buell_wl Have you not tried it yet ? No not yet. I'll try it this weekend.
  4. http://gopro.com/camera-mounts/handleba ... ost-mount/ bar mount Price is right too!
  5. I have one and use it for kite surfing I'll put it in the a's and see if I can make a small vid. I also got the bar mount (I think it's for bikes) but have not had time to try.
  6. I'm 82k in a 29 Dudek Nucleon with miniplane, with no issues. beginner paramotor 3 years free flight I think the smaller glider more speed is an old school train of thought. But I'm new at it so cant really comment. So on a 29 Nuc 100-130k all up I'm right in the middle. I cant see how you would go with anything else being 2 more kg then me. Also I wanted the nice glide for XC, if I was ripping up the park I would have gone for smaller. But I think you can still rip up the park in the 29. cheers
  7. I have a 58-59 head would you get a med or large?
  8. Looking for a helmet I'm thinking Icaro TZ with the Micro Avionics muffs and electronics What do you think? what else should I be looking at? One more thing I have a 38-39 head would you get a med or large? thanks!
  9. Any one have a good site for Brasil? other then http://www.wunderground.com
  10. This is what I've been reading too. It's a solid feel wing, not the most agile but solid with a decent glide ratio. Most of my stuff is minimal. My free flight is 500gm coat army pants and reversible harness ruck sack. I'm a bit of a minimalist. People look at me a little funny when I walk to the hill and drop a small ruck sack on the ground. They all wait for me to go back and get the rest. Then the glider comes out of the ruck sack the ruck sack flips inside out and I step into the harness turn on my mini vario and I'm ready (1x1" blue box). But looking at mini plane 20k stuff 5k fuel 4-5k + me 80+20+10 110k just on the light side of a 29. any issue of flying light? Say mini plane 20k fuel 3k and shorts = 100k. My experience in free flight taking out large gliders and being outside the weight range just leads to some tucks and tips falling in a little more frequently not sure about reflex Glide would be the best but a bit of both worlds would be good too. Lets be honest you don't get into PG/PPG for speed Ive changed the risers on my free flight glider (it can do both) so I will be able to flip back and forth. One more question, a good helmet you don't want to know what I fly in now........ it has CCM logo on it (sports fans will figure this out quick) All laughing aside it makes a great free flight helmet one for safety the other to indicate where your from I would like to be able to plug in anything even tunes (for beach flights) T
  11. It looks like there are two main camps Fusion and Nucleon! lol Yea I got the 1999 S1 Buell light lightning. Interesting bike for sure. I’ve had a the rest there all great and tons of fun. But the Buell was the most interesting that’s for sure (café racer) So what about the sizes for 80k raw weight (27,29,30,31 etc). What size would you get? Thanks again for the help!
  12. I'm 80k raw and looking to buy a mini plane. I free fly a Gin Zulu 1-2. I've been looking at the Nucleon and Paramania wings. I like a solid feeling wing, I don't like a wing the has the feeling of squirming around overhead. I would like a wing that is good at thermalling with the motor. Issue I've always had in the weight 80 + 20k lands me right at 100k full up. As normal it lands me at the beginning of a 29 and top end of a 27 in most reflex wings. What the best for the paramotor wings? go bigger wing for better economy? smaller for speed? other wings I should look at thhat fit the bill?
