  3. I thought my name would have been there for having the patience for the longest wait for a refund on a non delivered TinyTach ! Geoff
  4. Having smashed a single blade, (having had a wing collapse on me on a nil wind takeoff and getting same lines caught before I could cut the engine) I wondered what the feasibility was of finding a spare good one somebody my have saved after having damaged one of their own. Not sure of any compatibility issues, as I assume all three would in theory have to be the same weight, but my current one all have different numbers written on them and I wouldn't have thought there would be that much difference in different batches, but then I could be wrong. If so, someone may have one laying around that matches my 2 good ones. I know the new ones look good with the Parajet logo on them, but I'd prefer to just make a good offer for someones 'spare' instead ! Advice / offers welcome. Hoping to attend the Fly in, if I can get a starter motor from Parajet, which has been on order for the last 3 weeks, unless someone has got a spare one of these as well !

  5. Thanks v23nb, used GPS visualiser and it worked a treat. Geoff
  6. Thanks for the info. I'll see what I get when I fly next. Geoff
  7. Hi all, Help wanted. I download my tracks from GPSDash2 into Google Earth ok, but end up with the track showing vertical lines down to the ground. I've switched on / off every facility I can find but can't figure out how to remove the vertical lines. I've previously seen airbourne tracks without the lines, so know it can be done. Is it GPSDash2 that is causing it ? Any one know why ? Thanks, Geoff
  8. Just got a cht gauge and connected it up, but not sure what the normal operating range should be. Anyone know what the limits are ? Cheers Geoff
  9. Hi all, Probably a silly question, but as I don't know the answer, I ask it ! What one would suit the Parajet (volution). ie Does the engine fire every 180 degrees or on each crankshaft revolution ? Cheers Geoff
  10. Full power restored - so I thought , until I tried it in anger !! Spent another day last week trying to get off the ground with intermittent full power. In hindsight, glade I never did ! Another week fiddling and trawling the internet, resulted in me finally inspecting the exhaust system. Having taken off the silencer, found it rattled. Dismantled it to find loose baffle due to loose packing. Upon further investigation found inlet end virtually blocked by the packing being totally black, oily & compacted. Later, due to vibration of baffle ? Silencer repacked and this time full power immediately restored. Decided to not publish this final end to my problem until I actually tested it flying ! Done it today. Flew for 80mins without any problems. (all be it slowly with my Mojo !) End of a saga. Geoff
  11. The paramotor in this youtube video looks amazingly light (compared to my Parajet anyway) Ain't got a clue what it is though, apart from being Japanese, as stated in another video. Regards, Geoff
  12. Hi, I live in Rainham, Essex and fly from an airstrip 2 miles away again in Rainham which is located near to the Damyns Hall airfield, which is shown on maps. I did my paramotor training with Simon W from this site at Lambourn, although admittedly a bit of a trek to get to for an East Londoner, worth it in the end. Rgds, Geoff
  13. Inside the frame. At the tank end, around the fuel pipe is a rubber cover which is secured at the tank connector and runs around the fuel pipe into the frame, protecting the fuel pipe from the frame. (Something a grommet could have done equally well) This cover seemed to be excessively long, extending into the frame by over 1/2 inch. The fuel pipe had became bent at 90 degrees where the pipe exited the rubber cover and begun its run up the inside of the frame. I reduced the length of the protective rubber cover, so that it only extended a few mm into the frame and ensured that the fuel pipe now had a radial bend in it. Regards, Geoff
  14. I’ve suffered from engine running problem for months, all be it not that many flights due to time of year. This started with the engine repeatedly cutting out at ¾ / max revs, which was initially solved by replacing a split exhaust coupling rubber and a Carb overhaul. However, I then had loss of full throttle power. I then spent weeks, days & hours in the garage, annoyed the neighbours, replaced the Carb for a new one, bypassed the filters in turn, dismantled the head and generally fiddled with everything else I could think of, all to no avail. Rang Parajet today, to purchase some spares and spoke to Gilo. Within minutes, a solution to my problem was suggested which proved to be the cause. Where the fuel pipe exits the tank and enters the frame, the pipe had become bent at 90 degrees within the frame caused by a rubber sheath over the fuel pipe, which protects the pipe through the frame. Due to its length inside the frame, and presumably not helped by me pulling on the fuel pipe during my investigations removing / fitting the filter, the pipe had become permanently deformed. Same corrected and full power restored. All I need now is some good weather ! Thanks to all those I spoke to, whilst pulling my hair out, (not that I’ve got much up there). Just wished I’d spoke to Gilo earlier. Great Parajet service. Many thanks. Geoff
  15. Cheers, Look forward to receiving it and await your final answer. Geoff
