Curious...was the wing carrying much water in the trailing edge

But then you really wanted that outcome.

You seem to be flying with no regard to the flight dynamics of your machine.

I like it Pat....and sweet if you run out of fuel in the car

Nice flight...weather...and views.

Get your final turn around two hundred feet and pick your landing

spot in the field. Final turn brings you into wind.

Keep your eye on landing spot and adjust throttle if you can see your

either to high or to low.

Its best to keep the low level stuff into wind to help to manage any

wind gradient or turbulence. With a long final approach you have plenty

of time to get your arrival point bang on.

ps if your approach is to low your wing will be in Pangbourne and your

boots and teeth will be in Paddington

hi

Google "Cerney engineering" and chat to them.

Worth a chat.

Rich

Hi Pat

I'm not aware of a henge in that spot. A large equestrian business runs in that

location. Looks a bit like jumps but in a strange shape.

Rich

Good sound advice.

If you screw in the high jet on the carb three turns...you will have no engine in

about ten minutes.

Guatemala........ dow

If you saw my new Dudek sythe 2 built in Poland I think

you would get rid immediately.

Sale of goods act is easy. Not fit for purpose....return

and cash back.

I have a few stitch ends on my lines but ..nothing...nothing...is

coming undone.

You have bought an aircraft and workman ship is paramount.

Are you allways going to be checking stitching and repairing it as an when?

If your anywhere near Swindon ....crash in.... I'd like to see

Rich

Most two strokes...

Open the throttle fast and a lot of air is drawn into the carb/cylinders.

This leads to a lean condition as the main jet hasn't got out of bed yet.

So manufacturers place an additional slow running jet on the carb that

introduces fuel quickly for this event.

Its got a blockage or not opened enough.

Well said Scooby.. If we don't show up on radar because there tuned to filter out

flocks of birds then they need to address this .....as we are not birds.

We frequent the sky and have every right to be there and we desire to be on radar and

not lost in a filtering anomaly.

Clearly birds need to be watched and monitored....you only have to ask the pilot of US airways

Cpt Sullenger...

Watch this about birds.

Who is the spokes person for our sport and get them knocking on CAA door for our rights to exist.

Well done Pat. Couldn't get up today because of work pooh but well pleased you

got off the deck clean.

I don't know if it's relevant but I've noticed the harder you pull up the wing with physical effort

the more likely you are to starting bent slightly face down with the motor trying to turn you into

a rotavator.

Let that motor take the strain of initial inflation.

how do you do this......only kidding

good job.

Rich

Good post

That shows a product ready for development. As with most Brits we are

all great at inventions and poor at bringing them to market.

We don't need to appear as big as a jumbo so a modified Van Atta

smaller might do the job.

Could the Van Atta have a greater matrix and be ball shaped?

Tuesday is looking like a maybe flying day

Hi Scooby

Got all that.

During my glider training I was taught correct scanning and discovered interesting

blind spots of other gliders below you in the circuit had the ability to disappear from

view in the silhouette of the ground. We all just flew very defensively and assumed every other

user in the sky had not seen you and I had a few light aircraft wander right below me

without any noticeable attempt to alter course.

Another pilot there saw a bon fire on the ground on the horizon and looked away. He then

glanced back a few seconds later to see the pilot of a jaguar staring at him as he passed at

some horrendous speed very close. The smoke bon fire was the exhaust plume.

Constant bearing.....constant danger.

Any way what you got for me ref reflector.

Regards

Richard

Might be interesting to see if a small radar reflector could be carried

without it becoming a second wing

I for one would love to be visible to radar ...ground or air.

We all know half these pilots have there faces glued to the instrument

panel. Even small light aircraft seem oblivious to the outside world.

Glider pilots are taught to look out constantly and continuously scan the

horizon and I would suggest the safest aircraft to be in the vicinity of.

We would just be a little vibration as we passed through a Rolls Royce

Brent jet engine at 300 knots

Maybe some sort of reflective tape could be put on the prop?

That's my life thief!

Im no expert and only done a couple of flights myself but done gliding for three years prior

and learn't a bit there.

Farmers all want money so maybe if you got a couple of other paramotor dudes together

you might be able to get a scheme for a farmer up together.

Look on google earth. The other thing to assume is that all people hate paramotors

so dont fly over farmers house on first visit

You maybe starting the next paramotor club in your area???

Hi Bud

Good flight but you need to find a field.

If you had any sort of engine failure or low power during the first

part you be in the sea.....drowning... if you didn't have life jacket on.

The council will be after you after a while. If you can't play golf on the beach

you probably can't use a one meter scimitar at 3000 revs!

Your down wind leg was at 200 feet over the town.....not good.

Before you take off decide what your going to do if the engine stops after 30 secs

60 secs and 90 secs.

Have a plan in your mind otherwise you'll be trying to make quick decisions in a stressful

situation.

Find a nice field...knock on the farmers door and ask if you can take off once and it will only take

a couple of minutes. Fly then thank him and get chatting.

Some one you know is probably working on a farm. suss it out.

We don't want you wrapped round the town hall roof kissing the aerial.

But good flight.

Regards

Rich

Cheers boys god job.

Hows the prop going Pat?

Hi Alan and wiz hair dude

Well yes to all that. Right up the pole by Membury....I inspected the shit on

the top of the mast and I'm pretty sure my mobile was in pocket.

Thing is I wasn't getting the noise until I started motor. I then maxed up squelch

to 9 and thought I probably won't here ground crew but thought sod it.

During flight spoke to ground ok, so all good.

But like every 5 to 15 secs I got a 2 second bust of static.

I bet that's what your co wants to do with you

Getting a of noise off paramotor compact every 15 secs through 2 meter

radio and can't squelch it out.

Any tips gladly received.

Rich

Its a pretty steady video but its my second flight and well pleased to

be up after a long wait.

Fairly dense fog until 2pm then it started to clear. Managed to take off

around 3.45.

Got to about 1800feet to top of inversion and noticed the temperature increase

..lovely and toasty.

three quarters of the way through the vid you get a glimpse of my port riser and there seems

to be a slack line there.

Well worth the wait and the visibility above the inversion was epic but vid doesn't really

do it justice. Need to get a gopro.

I'm crap with names but regards to couple today training who also had a good

day.

Laters
