£1000 OVNO Puts out around 56kg of thrust perfect for body weights up to 90kg ( Manual suggestion). Bought last year with 40 hours and done about 10 myself in it. Never skips a beat and is quiet! Reason for selling is for funds for travelling! Positives: Quiet and electric starter motor! All new throttle and fuel lines Very economical Never missed a beat, I have never had any trouble with this unit! Comfortable high hangpoint Light, being much easier to carry than most other Motors! Large comfortable harness All round great paramotor at a very low price! Negatives: Previous owner took a hard landing and dented the muffler and frame, this is simply cosmetic and does not affect the flying capability or safety! Has been examined by an engineer and qualified Instructor! I will also put in various other equipment! Contact me on 07887375146 for further details Thank you Reason for selling, I love flying but I can't take it to Australia with me! They wouldn't allow it on the plane apparently

It seems to be in a tangle, I believe that when I sent it off it had the handles tied with the line passing through the speed bar, I hope I am understanding what you mean Simon and not repeating you I have Mike who is very good at these things, I just thought I would attempt it myself rather than bother him too much! Thank you Simon! I think I will take your advice and leave it! it's okay to fly on slow trim as the normal Brake handles are not affected and so I haven't used a speed bar yet anyway or the tst kit! Even if it's left till the fly in

Sorry for the delayed response, work took over the last 2 days! I hope these photos make sense? i believe all i have to do is untie them and un loop them from the speed-bar lines and retie? Cheers!

Morning! Just a few things I am slightly worried about before I take to the skies again, I have noticed that my tip steering on the right hand side has been tied through the speed-bar lines which when pulled, pulls on that too, can I just untie and tie them back? what happens if the tip steering handle comes off in flight whilst on full trim? Has this ever happened? Second! I still have fuel in my paramotor from last year, it ran fine in April when I last got a flight, but it still remains old fuel! What is the best thing to do, or should the fuel still be usable? Lastly, out of interest, can you fly on slow trim with the brakes on the magnets or is this not advised even in smooth conditions? My instructor did teach me all this but it's been so long I forget! If I flew more I wouldn't have to worry about these things! Cheers! Michael

and more! The bit when you realise your feet have left the ground every time makes me yell swear words of joy every time! I just wish I did more of it!

Thanks Simon, I sent my wing there for inspection last year so I shall do the same with the Reserve! Didn't realise they did repacking! And sounds great to me, fingers crossed for good weather! I will click going

Hi everyone, Been a while since I posted on here, last time I posted I had just bought my gear, I can now confirm I have had my first flight and several after with Mike Chilvers! Haven't flown much this year so far though, just 2 flights due to exams and being busy and not being a big fan of cold weather flying, however, exams are done tomorrow and now I am looking to really kick the flying off again, I just have a few queries! Does anyone know any pilots in the fens/South Lincs area, I am from spalding and I know of plenty that fly out of Norfolk, but not so many around here! Any Boston/Peterborough flyers on here too? I see plenty come over the top of the house! Flying in a group is much nicer than on my own and I still lack full confidence to take off on my own.. I know, embarrassing How many faces will be showing at Kings Lynn this year for the fly inn, I am guessing all as I am asking on the forum of the Host? Lastly, I have a reserve chute that I bought in the winter but never got repacked, its from June 2006 so I don't hold much hope for it, but where and how is the best place of getting it checked? Thank you!

I want in if so!

Thanks David, I'll do that then and double check everything! I have someone who is going to clean the exhaust for me and tune it as it was down in a few Kg's and adjust the cage as its a bit out after the bump someone had, but I'll change the plug and things! I'll get some photos up tomorrow evening! Practical driving test tomorrow so early night for me now! Haha its not pretty, but at 1k, it was still a bargain with only 50 odd hours on the motor itself and a brand new prop! Cheers!

Hi everyone! after a while waiting, I have finally bought the kit! Dudek Reaction 27 and an Axb Hawk Vitorrazi easy 100 electric start! But I was wondering whether anyone else gets the urdge to fiddle with it? Over the last 24 hours I put together and taken down the cage atleast 5 time to carry it around! However, the reason for this thread is that I'm looking for some advice please on cleaning and just general TLC. The previous owner left it to collect dust and it is a host to many weld marks and splodges from when, from all i can guess, had a little bump one day. I'm not looking to do anything major, but could anyone please tell me whether it is safe to sand down and paint the swing arms with Vht paint, and any other general cleaning techniques like cleaning the exhaust and re oiling? I know these are basic but i would like to get it right! Thanks Michael

Hi, Complete novice here but agree with the above! don't rush into buying anything, i waited 3 years, but even then i managed to buy something not suitable! ! For me, and by far the best decision i made was going to visit a club while they were training, talked to the instructor and watched people fly! Within a few weeks i went from knowing nothing and having a wing unsuitable for the job, to now having sorted out nearly all my equiptment and started training with a brilliant instructor and some great people, with confidence and trust that i am safe! even on a budget of £3000 it is possible, as i have almost proven so in short.. don't make a mistake like i did and buy poor equipment in a rush to get your feet off the ground! Buy from the pro's in person and get your instructor to advise you, and lastly, have fun in the process!! You'll meet a great bunch of people along the way!

I will keep you all informed, fortunately I am under a watchful eye of a very good instructor who's flown them before, so I am confident I will enjoy it and have the ability to enjoy it even when I gain experience as its rated as beg to inter

Thanks everyone I have another ground handling wing so gonna go crazy with ground training I think! Haha Also, I weigh 60kg, so I guess with a motor and reserve etc. I will reach that weight range! Cheers!

Just taken delivery from a very nice chap of a reaction 27, Gobi colour for £600, with only 40 hours, dont tell me its not a good wing now! haha

Thanks Lee, Some how skipped over this!! Got hold of a ground handling harness now looking for a wing! 25-27! Cheers!
