I'm after a light weight paramotor for my dad to use to get his confidence on. He finds my pap on the heavy side and wants something that's light and runs that isn't expensive to buy or repair?

Is there any such thing? Maybe an older model?

And has any one got a dusty old banger tucked in the back of the shed?

I want to stress it's not wanted as a seriouse flying machine. Just a training aid for a few hops up the field.

Thanks peeps.

How much peeps? And what's needed?????

Definatly worth a look. The tips are repairable I think but it's the crack across the middle I'm worried about. Might just be the gel coat but could be deeper. Needs a trained eye on it.

I'm on it!! Might go for gaffa tape this time.

coolio. Thanks for the help peeps.

So is the prop a one type only job or can they be "tinkered" with?

I'll give him a bell in the morning. Thanks enzo

Ye I suppose. Didn't think of it like that. Just annoying when you think of all the sports that you can get insurance for quite easily,

Can anyone fix a severed arm over the net for me???

Done. I'll post back in a mo once I've tried it out.....................

Can anyone fix a prop over the net for me?

Ok bud. It's a pap ros 125.

Prop numbers are H30F 1.15m R-L-10-2 set 4

Don't know what numbers you need so that's everything written on it.

I'm on the barracudas page so which ever way is best to contact me.

Some pics to share the damage!!

Just had a look, I struggle with English, so German is a no go. Any ideas?

Ye my dad is the reason I got the paramotor as I couldn't afford it on my own. The deal was I learnt to fly then at each him so he could just experience it. Every thing went to plan then he lost his footing while running under power and hey ho new prop!

Is the prop something that can be "upgraded" in terms of performance or is it a standard thing that must not be played with. I know there is a fine balance between motor and prop but didn't know how fine?

I havent but i will now!! Thanks enzo.

Anyone got any secrets on the best place to get a prop for a pap ros 125. It's 115cm carbon fibre for a 1250 cage. Sky dragons are quoting £325. Before I part with that much dough I just want to make sure that's the going rate.

Thanks peeps.

Like it dan.

No doubt the first time someone said they want to fly under a bit of fabric with no structure, and do so by strapping a big fan on their back, they were shunned and questioned.

Without these peeps we would posting on a knitting forum!!

Ye it's dangerouse but some people only feel alive when they risk not being!

Every one on this forum is half way there anyway as 75% of people I've spoken to about my flying (just flying a paramotor with no tricks or stunts) think I'm crazy.

As long as they can at worst only hurt them selves then let the fun beggin!

Ps. I'd like to see the vid

Let people know that you do wear more than a sock and you might get a bit more feed back. Nothing worse than the awkward look with a naked bloke!

On your own!!!!! And love the the vid

Where abouts in Essex mate?

No matey. Don't think so

You out over the weekend Outkast

Nah mate, the misses has got her family visiting and has lots of exciting things planned for us to do
