Hi Trev, I will probably come over and fly with you guys at some point during the summer, i will be Skydiving quite a lot this year at Bridlington, so if we get a few good weekends i'll do both.

Northerners ignored again i see!

Self Taught!? Now do a poll to see which group went through the most props! Now that would be interesting

Now that's an interesting unit!

The cheapest Alinco DJ195E i found is £109 http://www.nevadaradio.co.uk/acatalog/alinco-dj195e.html The cheapest Icom IC-A6 i found (i did find this cheaper in the US but when you add import duties etc. it worked out the same) http://www.harrymendelson.com/ This is also an interesting website for radio equipment, this is an Icom authorised main dealer, i didn't have time to price check though. http://www.rocketradio.co.uk/handheld-462-c.asp

How Many Yorkshire Paramotorists?
Richard1910 replied to Richard1910's topic in Yorkshire and Yorkshire East Branch
Now that, was funny But you won't be laughing after iv'e been to 'rent a friend' -
Hello my Yorkshire friends, Will all the Yorkshire Paramotorists please say "I" and lets have a count to see how many of us there are! Thanks Richard

"I recently purchased an Icom IC-24E like the one in the pic. After only a few hours of monitoring / receiving only, the battery runs low. It is brand new. Surely this can't be normal?? " No, that's not normal! It's most likely a duff battery but I'd change the whole unit just incase there's a fault with the radio that's draining the battery.
-
So, the choices seem to be: An Alinco DJ 195s (2 metre radio) on 143.950 frequency or An ICOM IC-A6 / ICOM IC-A24 (airband radio) on 118.675 frequency or Both if you have the cash! Use them sensibly, don't abuse 'em and a blind eye will be turned. Well, that's that sorted then or is it...........

Francis, you don't half know some stuff!!

I find it hard to understand why people shy away from the subject! and being told to be quiet, what's that all about!? And god only knows why 2m radios are illegal, i was told only a few weeks ago that the laws on radios date back to the second world war. It's about time we got together as a group (paramotorists & Paraglider pilots) decided on which radios and which frequency and get the law changed. Personally i think PPG should be on Airband and PG on 2M or even all on airband, i have decided to use airband because of local aircraft.
-
Hi Norman, What are the designated frequencies for paragliding/paramotoring, does anyone know?
-
Hi Russ, Welcome to the sport and welcome to the best paramotor forum in the country! if not he world

July 29th? that date rings a bell!!

I met a guy that repairs props at a paramotor show, i'll see if i can find his card and pass on his phone number. Is it a wooden prop? I think he only balances and repairs wooden props but i can't be 100% sure of that. I'll have a look for his card anyway and let you have his number.
-
What's wrong with the prop?
-
Why don't the lighter pilots wear wieght belts or vests or even put weights in the harness to make all the pilot loads the same!?
