  1. Thanks guys. I have a new one on order!
  2. It's a 13 litre tank that came with my Vitorazzi fly Evo 100. It's difficult to find a plastic welder here in NZ who is confident to do it.
  3. Does anyone have advice on how to repair a 1cm round hole in a fuel tank?
  4. It's a beginner paragliding wing. I started with the Mojo 2, which would be very much the same. After flying it for about a year with the motor I wanted something that lands and turns better and also flys faster. I got a Speedster which I still have. The Mojo takes off really well. It lands with very little flair ability so comes to earth steeply. (I fell over on landing with it about one in five. When I got the Speedster I rarely fell over with it) the Mojo turns slowly and flies slowly. Its very passive and so safer. It's a good wing to start flying with but you will want to upgrade in a year or so flying.
  5. Hi kiwippg. Yes I've put a new spark plug in and the reed valves are good. I'm ordering a new coil and starter from Vittorazi hoping that is the problem. Where are you Adam?
  6. I have been having trouble with my Fly Evo 100. It started running erratically while flying and after renewing the whole fuel line including filters and pressure bulb, cleaning and renewing everything that can be renewed in the carburettor and cleaning out the exhaust and repacking the muffler it still won't reach full revs. About three quarters I would guess. Now I think it must be the coil that is faulty. Does anyone have any experience of this? I live in New Zealand and don't know how to get a new coil from here also so any ideas on that would be helpful too. Thanks!
  7. Hi kiwippg. I'm also from central Nth Is NZ, Taupo! Where are you?
  8. Hi Wallboy. You must have your ass in an unusual place if your neck zipper sliding down pains you there Anyway I wouldn't go for a scarf! If it got loose and near your prop you could end up with a pain in the neck!
  9. I fly a Speedster 28 and find it real easy at takeoffs in nil wind and also kind of floaty when landing. I think there is a 33 in the Speedster so that could suit too!
  10. Nice scenery there and good video. Thanks!
  11. Well done keeping on your feet at the end! You must be a bit younger than me!!!

    Hi all

    Thanks Steve. I followed your suggestion and ordered a prop at a much better price. Looking forward to try it

    Hi all

    I have a Vitorazzi Fly Evo 100 and need to buy a new 115cm carbon prop for it. My first time to get a new prop since qualifying 5 years ago. The supplier of my motor tells me I must only buy my prop through Vitorrazi to get the best performance and safety for my motor. Yet I see that there are several reputable propeller manufacturers around. Can anyone tell me if others make paramotor model specific props for my motor that I can trust. It will cost me 275 € + vat(?) + 130€ shipping to buy and buy one and have it shipped to me in New Zealand from Vitorrazi. The shipping sounds exorbitant to me! Can anyone give me some perspective on this?

  15. This is a recent video of a flight I just did a few days ago. I don't know how to post the video from my iPad but if you use this key below it should take you to the Vimeo site! https://vimeo.com/87538368?utm_source=e ... cwMQ%3D%3D
  16. Hi Wallboy. I have an Fly Evo 100, fly a Speedster 28 and I weigh 90kg. I get 3 litres/hr with trimmers and doing about 35kph. With trimmers out I use 5litres/hr doing about 53kph. The wing you use will make a big difference to fuel consumption. So you really need find someone who uses the same wing as you to get comparisons. I don't know much about setting up carburettors but just adjust the screw until my spark plug is medium brown. Cheers James
  17. Great stunt. I wonder how my instructor would have reacted to that one!!!
