Hi Jock.

Great. If OK, I'll get there for 11ish.

Mike

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.

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.

might be interesting to see what exactly its designed for...

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.

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

Next Home Project?

Hi Jock.

Not looking so good now....Boooooo.

I have been messing around with tilt shift photography, which makes your photos look like models.

Yes, this has me real interested too.

Mike

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.

Agreed 100% no.

But for low res internet uploads, the grabbing of a video still can work quite well with the GoPro.

Sorry not tried heated gloves yet, but I want to.

Here is another option as tested by Police Bikers.

Ok, roger that.

Will keep an eye out.

Mike

Hi Morgy.

Sounds great, would love to do that.

Got any dates in mind?

Cheers

Mike

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.

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!

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!

From about 3mins 40secs in.

Mike

Cheers Dude!

A bit off topic.

But here I am "ridge soaring" for almost 2 hours at the IOW, on my Paramania Fusion Paramotor Wing!

Mike

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

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.

Hi Guys.

Ok cool.

If Ok, I'll meet you there.

Does Carl know where to go?

Cheers

Mike

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
