Yeah yeah ok . Wind ya necks in. I mean kilos. Am just a bit stuck in the imperial system.
I think the thrust is sufficient for a sixteen st guy . It has a shorter prop . But there are three of them. Helps to offset torque reaction . (apparently) its all learning for me at the moment.
My potential instructure seems quite adamant that i need a dudek synth wing. . Its gonna mean more cash . But u cant ignore wing advice . I want something docile and predictable that wont drop me on a hard thing from a big height .
I feel quite confident on the matter of my paramotor tho. Hand built by a chap called chris scoble. He has been involved in paramotor design some time and seems to have a following of believers. Have breifly managed to get him on the phone . am hoping he will be agreeable to a bit of ongoing advice and info . Parts for the motor are available and i am if i say so myself . A more than adequate mechanic.
I know there are other issues sorrounding choice of paramotor. And the dynamics in conjunction with the different types of wing. And i hope my premature purchase does not leave me looking a pillock!
Took a drive in my trusty threewheeler earlier. Just for fun. Upto north cotes airfield in north lincs. Not far from grimsby. It looks to be a ex raf base . (lots in lincs) had a brief chat with a polite gentleman who turned out to be the club president . I was just enquiring about club membership and launching from their field. He was not against the idea. But did not seem to have a good impression of paramotorers. Apparently the last one they had allowd in had been a bit of a lad. And had ended up with a broken leg. I assured him i would be a well mannered well behaved boy if he let me in his club. But he did seem concerned about paramotors being slow and clogging up the airways around his airfield . But for all that . He seemed a veey nice man.tho i did make a mental note to start befreinding local farmers. To get me hands on there land
Anyhow. Allbthis typing is not easy on a mobile device
