  1. Hi garyfreefly, where are you and your mate from?
  2. Thanks all! I just need to find someone in the Pennine area that can show me the way? Airborne? Richard X
  3. I've had a Paradog flight deck for a while and find it, well, not very good. I was thinking of redeveloping the design and making it better but after 2 years and it still being where I left it I've decided to buy a different flight deck instead, so my question is, which is the best tried and tested flight deck? Richard X
  4. What extra training if any is needed to use a Quad or Trike in the UK?
  5. The sheath on one of my lines has broke, the line got caught on the prop, it hasn't stretched and the line itself inside is fine and intact, would you change it or not? I can't remember which line it is.
  6. I got an hours flight out of mine on about a third of a tank yesterday until it ran out. Engine: Solo 210
  7. I take it you mean October the 19th? That's my BIRTHDAY if anyone wants to get me a birthday present! A Paramotor would be nice!! RDX ps; I take it none of the sponsors where invited Simon?
  8. I don't think this is the sea as the water is brown, it's most likely an exercise on a lake or something, maybe!
  9. Hi karan, Have you got any further with your Napal Paramotor club?
  10. Hi Rob, we've been quiet on here because the new MayContain.com websites have been taking up all of our time but now they're finished (well almost anyway) we'll be back on for regular postings! Richard X

  15. Hi Neil, Sorry for a late (very late) reply, been busy with the new MayContain.com websites getting them ready for the big launch. Anyway, i live in the Halifax area and Paraglide and Paramotor around this area and over the moors wondering over the boarder into that odd place (i think they call it Lancashire) If you're ever over here this side of Yorkshire give me a call and we can sort something out for a training day or a flying day. Regards Richard
  16. Can anyone give an up to date account of who made it to the end and who didn't with a reason where they stopped/withdrew and why, a bit like they do in Formula1
  17. AWESOME!!! Congratulations from the Yorkshire crew!!!!!! You made it look so easy
  18. Some Paragliders are not made to be tow launched, i think it say's some where in my reaction manual that tow launch is not recommended for that particular wing, i'm not sure why though, i can't see any obvious dangers between being bushed by a motor or being pulled by a vehicle, surely the wing still reacts in the same way? I do know people that tow launch with Paraglider wings without any problems.
  19. Thanks for explaining the 10 litre rule guys, perhaps that's a rule that needs looking at again in respect of a change?
  20. Why reduce the capacity of the tank? What's the reason behind this?
  21. You can fly all year round you know! It may be a little colder in the winter months but the air is more stable and you can get some great smooth flights all through the day and on snowy or frosty days the scenery looks fantastic, i've had some great flights outside the summer months.
  22. They seemed to enjoyed their pie 'n' peas and Yorkshire hospitality, pitty they've run out of space on their logs, it would have been nice to see what they thought of there Yorkshire stop! I was going to fly a short stint with them but i couldn't get off the ground soon enough because of a twisted riser, by the time i'd got off the ground they where well on there way, no way was i going to catch up, although i did try!
  23. Anyone seen this? http://video.maycontainnuts.com/video--the-monarch-ppg-first-flights--564.html I'll have one shaped like a croc
  24. Anyone seen this? http://video.maycontainnuts.com/video--the-monarch-ppg-first-flights--564.html Cool Stuff!!!
  25. Pie and peas will be the order of the day, my sister has just put the order in plus a few home made cakes! If your a day late i will have eaten the cakes!!
