  1. Hi Jock. Great. If OK, I'll get there for 11ish. Mike
  2. Hi Jock. Looks like the wind won't be on for Malvern on Friday? I am up for PPG. How's the Powick field looking for Friday the 13th......oooooooo? What time you thinking of getting there? Cheers Mike.
  3. Hi Jock. Am in the middle of a garage conversion. But will get away for at least 1 of those days. Looking forward to 1st flight of 2012. Mike.
  4. I think its for large model airplanes. (wow must be big). They do an even bigger model, but its too deep. (4 cylinders) Not even 6kg in weight. http://www.dle-engines.com/dleg0222.html Mike
  5. I would think a reduction ratio of some kind would have to be fitted, and its more power than a top 80 which is 15hp. Also, I have a feeling it might be a real rev-veee engine, with not a lot of torque? Mike
  6. Next Home Project? http://www.towerhobbies.com/products/dl ... g0170.html Mike
  7. Hi Jock. Not looking so good now....Boooooo.
  8. I have been messing around with tilt shift photography, which makes your photos look like models.
  9. Yes, this has me real interested too. Mike
  10. Hi Vince. Yes 29. I was on take off and neutral depending on the wind. Chaps at launch would shout wind speed as we flew past. Mike.
  11. Agreed 100% no. But for low res internet uploads, the grabbing of a video still can work quite well with the GoPro.
  12. Sorry not tried heated gloves yet, but I want to. Here is another option as tested by Police Bikers. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/upload/Ri ... GLOVES.pdf Regards. Mike
  13. Hi Morgy. Sounds great, would love to do that. Got any dates in mind? Cheers Mike
  14. Here is a vid, trying out the Fusion at the IOW for free flying. The wing did very well! As you can see at the end, the wind on the cliff edge was about 18mph. So the landing is almost vertical down. [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Cheers Mike
  15. Here is a pic of the cross bar mod I made to my old H&E Paramotor. Totally stopped all cage flex in the horizontal plane!
  16. http://shop1.actinicexpress.co.uk/shops ... onsumables Mike
  17. This is how I did it. Works a treat. Its a knee strap from and old altimeter. The strap goes behind the door. Close it and its locked on!
  18. A bit off topic. But here I am "ridge soaring" for almost 2 hours at the IOW, on my Paramania Fusion Paramotor Wing! Mike
  19. Hi Guys. Not really pics, but Video grabs from my GoPro. Here is that plane that flew under me. I am sure he was closer than 500ft
  20. Very bouncy day. But had a blast. Met some new friends. Had a great flight with Richard after the others had left. Jock was well above the trees again! I got caught in this huge lift area and went from 2000ft ATO to 2500ft in seconds. Smooth though. Used full trims and speed bar to get out of it.
  21. Hi Guys. Ok cool. If Ok, I'll meet you there. Does Carl know where to go? Cheers Mike
  22. Hi Carl. Might be out with Jock tommorow if weather plays. I'm sure it would be OK to join us at Powick. Cheers Mike
