This might be interesting......? http://www.microfuelgauge.co.uk/ Expensive though.

Hmmm, lots of people buy motors with very flexible cages. In my opinion why? If you never intend to do a power forward launch (not for learners for sure) then maybe alright. Why in this day, can props still hit the cage with relatively small amounts of force? If you fall over on tick over, some machines will allow the prop to touch the cage…bang, there goes a prop. There are plenty of machines out there, that do not have this problem. Worries me. I have a friend who is very tall, and he managed to do a power forward launch, the cage flexed and he hit the prop with the back of his knuckles. Ouch. He was very lucky it was only a flesh wound and it healed OK. Sure made him think about that. He then fitted a cross bar, which stopped the flex completely.

Nice one Jock! Keep up the good work. Cheers Mike

Also he is an importer. http://www.rowenacarbs.co.uk/ Around £50.00 for a new one I think. Cheers Mike

Here's one that is good for 100 to 160kg. Apco Mayday 20! Mike

This is very interesting. Will they make a sytem that works for Paramotors? High and low hangpoints? Will they be big enough for a safe decent rate with the extra weight of a Paramotor? It seems to me, that many of us are overwieght on our reserves. I bought the biggest Gin 42 at the time and I am over weight by about 5kgs. Any one know of a reserve that works with all up weight of 135 to 145kgs? They all seem to be certified upto 130 to 135kg. Putting me at the top end and fasted descent time.....Not good. Cheers Mike Mike

I really like how the battery is strapped to the fuel tank, and it looks like a pizza, wrapped in tin foil to keep it warm! And chain drive...very interesting.... At least the exhaust has a saftey on it......lol

Congrats on your Revo Neil. Its a good wing with low hours, always stored inside. Have a great time with it. Cheers Mike!

Sorry forgot to mention it has the latest wing tip kit fitted!

Paramania Revolution for sale. Please see adds section. Cheers Mike.

Fresh Breeze have some powerful motors. Check in with Piers Dent at Fresh Breeze UK http://www.freshbreezeuk.com Most of the range can be low hang points too! Cheers Mike

Thanks Jock. Sorry busy all day today. Cheers Mike

Hi Jock. Thanks for making the call. Please let me know who what when and where....cheeers. Heres a couple of shots with me buzzing a balloon. This was yesterday, 1 Sept 2010 (I phoned for permission before hand) Double click on pic for full size! Mike

Interesting pictures on the Walkerjet website. If you look at the RR electric, it has what I would describe as, prototype fixed arms????? Surley about time to update these photos dont you think! Cheers Mike

Hi, fellow Worcestershire-arians. I'm back for a few weeks as of tommorow. (Wed 1st September) Any body up for some flying? Cheers Mike

Hi Ron. I have flown the unit 3 times now, so not a vast experience with it. Here are my findings Good.... 1) very strong well made - tough 2) comfortable in flight 3) seat scoops you up on take off 4) lots of power, good to get height 5) double fuel tank option 6) I liked the solid low hang points 7) best cage netting I have ever seen top quality trike and tandem options Bad 1) I didn't like the throttle but you get used to it. 2) no cruise control 3) vibration was a bit high on the one unit 4) legs touched lower cage on landing ...take off OK 5) Props sits out from cage a lot. So thats my thoughts on flying it. For me its on the list, when my current motor wears out! Cheers Mike

Here it is tweaked a bit.

I agree with Simon I think Revos first came out in 2004/5 This wing is from 1999. Revo 1 has 50 cells, this has 49. I think it says Reflex on the side. Cheers Mike

Hi Vince. I assume it handles a little more forgivingly than the Fusion, but is it really 5 kph faster for the same size? Cheers Mike

He is a very talented flier, but if he did take a collapse........ [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Mikey

Not quite what you had in mind, but this is interesting! Mike

yes smooth sea air........ Fab Mike

Meeeeee toooooo

Hi Dan. I get about 90mins on mine too. I think I need a bit of a tune up also. But the black Devil engines are thirsty! Cheers Mike

Hi Pete, I think you might mean this web site... Mike http://www.paramotorsuk.co.uk/ and specifically this page http://www.paramotorsuk.co.uk/events/fl ... lyin07.asp
