Hi Carl.

I mounted a go pro on my Fusion a while back.

Go to about 2:48.

Whilst it flew OK, I could really feel the weight when pulling up the wing for the reverse!

In my humble opinion, it felt like too much on the A's. Front tuck?

So if you must, keep it in the middle of the wing, between the B's and C's.

Anyone have any more input here?

Cheers

Mike

This guy makes a home made wing mount.

My worry is, its a lot of weight...

Mike

Passing on some info.

A nice chap from the council had a chat with us a few years back.

Had a complaint.

Whilst not breaking the 500ft rule is within our rights, we can be had for noise pollution and disturbing the peace.

So we did the same as you guys and made our own no fly zone over this farm. Our apologies were passed on.

All good since.

Hi Tim.

That would be a 120mile round trip.

Even Richard probably didn't do that in 3 hours.

Mike

A bit off topic, but very very interesting in my opinion.

I think the belt is undone and hanging down!

Very Interesting.

How much are they?

Cheers.

Same here guys.

C U around 12.00ish if weather plays.

Mike..

Not sure if these are still active, but there is a couple of airfields on the way on your trip Jock.

Double click on pic for full size.

Hey Jock, you going to Land at Bredon Hill? By the tower?

Mike

My car is in for Service and MOT. So I can't come out to play on Monday......

Indeed t'was a great day. Here are a few grabs from the video.

Hi Richard.

I could well be about on those days.

Gone and rained here today.

Mike

Long legs or what!

Well done Boys!

Thanks for the Photo Jock.

Didn't know your wifes name is Andrew?

Haresfield, is that near us? Would like to join you please, if OK.

Cheers.

Mike

Good to Know.

Thanks Simon.

Ha, I did'nt even know I was being photographed. Could you keep the newspaper for me to copy .

Cheers

Mike

Actually my all up weight might be more than 150kg. I will check.

I did not include the Fusion wing in this all up weight either.

Mike

Anybody else out there, able to do some rough top speeds of their wings?

I flew a 16 mile trip into the wind/cross wind and back.

Average speed there was 45mph (72.5 kph)

Average speed back was 26mph (42 kph)

Average top speed = 35.5mph (57 kph)

OK not very scientific but just an indication. I shall try to do some more speed tests and get a better picture.

Wing is a Fusion 28.

All up weight was around 150 KG.

Mike

Teee Heee. Yes.

Fooled me for a short while though.

Thanks for the heads up Dan.

I was over 2500 ft for almost the whole trip, so as Jock said it was not I.

Good idea to keep the flying around Powick to a min.

Cheers.

Mike

Hi Jock . Fab.

What is your Malvern Paragliding site. Do you have a link.

Cheers

Mike.

Glad we got the hang point sorted.

Battery on GOPro died after 4 hours in the cold, so did not get you landing sorry Jock.

Here is a still from the flight to the Malverns.

Great day. Good to see you all again.

Mike.
