  1. Well having only ever flown and ground handled the dudek synth I have moved on to the new dudek nucleon xx and can honestly say wow what a difference, its like jumping off a moped and on to a super bike. May I say the synth is a great wing very stable and safe as houses but the more experience ive gained has now out grown the synth. More to the point the xx which is 8 mts smaller than im used to was great, very little wind today on my maiden flight and up it popped with very litltle effort and away, so I put in minor Inputs but so responsive. I had a very short flight due to paramotor issues yet again but so far happy with my purchase of the nucleon.
  2. Thanks chilly for your input, I will have to read a manual for the 1st time in my life with respect to the steering system on this wing.
  3. Yes patrick I have purchased a 26mt nucleon xx. I really am struggling with my synth in light wind so hopefully having a wing that is 8mts smaller will help. I am picking it up on saturday so hope to be out on it that day if weather stays as predicted.
  4. Has anybody ever flown the new xx nucleon, I would appreciate your knowledge or experience. Cheers George

  6. Hi all, I am thinking of selling my DJI phantom 3 with 4k video recording, I paid £1350 about 3 months ago. It has never been crashed and I've flown it approx 5 times. This is a fantastic bit of kit for ariel photography and filming, very easy to fly with gps to bring it back should you loose sight of it. PM me or call me on 07824552511 Cheers George

  8. Gazzer, what syptons are you getting when running the motor on the ground, I too had issues with my 190 but a minor carb adjustment its running fine, slightly rich but I will be adjusting again. What color is the plug ?
  9. Good luck, I am hopeful its now sorted my end too. I went for a quick blast although pretty misty, I wanted to see how it was and it seemed much better. A little carb adjustment seems to have sorted it. I just have to get used to the power as it has more than my old parajet.
  10. Gaz they advised me to adjust my low jet on the carb, I went to the field today and put everything together, started the motor then it stopped. To cut a long story short we found the plug had failed just completely broke down which I found very bizarre. So off to halfords for a new plug, all seems well now, I went for a short flight and the motor behaved itself, although I am a bit twitchy as I cant understand why or what killed the plug.
  11. Parajet rang me 1st thing after sending an email last night. They have talked me through a carb adjustment so going to give this ago. There after service is good so let's hope the v3 will behave a little better next time out as I don't really like landing out.
  12. Hi I too am having issues, I took my v3 out today for its maiden flight. I had 3 short flights and had to land out twice with engine failure. I have not checked the plug but I hace emailed parajet. Email them yourself.
  13. Thanks for the info chaps, perhaps I was expecting something completely different I thought you pulled the starter with very little resistance and then the point it let go of the built up energy. I will hang in there and hopefully it be easier as you say.
  14. Hi, I have just taken possession of my new polini 190 v3 parajet. Lovely machine but for one oroblem I cant get my head around the starting. I belive a flash starter is when you pull the pull cord with a little resistance it winds up the starter until the energy built up lets go to turn over the engine and start. I today started my machine for the 1st time and every pull of the cord felt the same and I know for a fact every pull of the cord was moving the cylinder and I didnt find it easy at all, in fact I found the whole procedure of starting that hard and the fact it nearly ripped my fingers off when it fired that I shoud had ordered an electric start. I looked at vids on you tube and I can definitely see the difference between a pull start and a flash start, I would say mine is a pull start. Parajet kindly responded quickly as I emailed them and they assured me its a flash start. What do you guys think please. Cheers George
  15. I met pete a few times at membury and he gave me some stearn advice at times, something like this wont take him down before you know it he will be back in the air or atleast taking the piss out of somebody. Speedy recovery pete.
  16. Are the tachometers much of a much as some that are advertised on ebay are around a tenner then there are others such as apico at forty pounds. Or is there one specifically designed for a paramotor. Cheers George
  17. Hi im thinking of getting the new v3 and was just wondering if anybody out there has one as i would like a little feed back. Im thinking of fitting the moster as a few of my friends run these engines and they have been reliable. Simon is saying the thor 190 is popular but im a little concerned as thor in the past has not been great. Any feed back on any of the above would be appreciated. George
  18. Hi serg there was no damage to my paramotor at all, a little muddy yes but nothing else. I had a sore neck and arm but looking at it I was very lucky.
  19. I am selling my parajet as I am upgrading to the zenith. I have owned from new and it has covered less than 20 hours. It has new props ,drive belt, and battery. It comes with a spare belt and 2 spare batteries. All in all the machine is in great condition and has been well looked after and maintained. There are no faults with the machine and if you are qualified and experienced you are more than welcome to fly it. I will not accept offers I want £3200 or it stays in the garage as a spare motor. The reserve in the photo is not included. Call George if interested on 07824552511
