  1. Your fine on this wing at your weight...... Ive got a Scotch medium I fly it at 110kg all up..........its an awsome wing super nimble super safe my fusion is a ...Slug compared to the Scotch.....it will run rings around it .....its in a different league......problem is it is not a quick wing......and you end up going backwards in a good breeze this is where the Fusion wins........horses for courses.......if I am messing about on a light wind day its the one I pick everytime.......I Love it
  2. yup kit 10 and Ive got a super high lift cam and Ive also got bigger valves stronger springs and ect ect ect....I also need to change the silencer....its way to loud at the moment ( it will be no good for my stealth type of flying) its a ground adjustable Gsc.......so I can tweak it..
  3. show us the way to go Jock........you are way ahead of me with your project.....but it was a big day for me yesterday....I fired my project GX up yesterday.....and all those nice (and expensive) tuning parts did their thing......it just oooozzes grunt...... ........18-20hp ...allegedly it sounds that much but time will tell.....now Ive got the redrive to sort out.......ho humm its something to do on these windy dark evenings ( if all else fails I will have the biggest badest pressure washer in the uk )
  4. he landed in one of the fields I fly from.....I believe it it hd broken down with a carb problem one of our team gave him a lift to where he wanted to go. ..yes it looked like a scooter engine....complete with gearbox...
  5. Ehh .....I just said where !! the windiest place in the UK which as we all know is North Wales
  6. I think I must live in the windiest place in the uk ... ... in fact I am sure of it.... ... I think Ill have to dig my old windsurfer out...if it continues any longer because if I remember correctly the moment I used to rig up and get ready to sail the wind died . ..... I could now go flying ( am I onto something ) could I fool the weather and then take advantage of it !!!
  7. Pap ros125 fusion 26.........but (should have been a 23)
  8. Power power power everytime.......go on try it once ......it works for me no broken lines no mangled wing I fly the same set up as you....I hit full throttle whilst looking at the ground for around ten seconds then ease off a bit and start to lean back when I am looking forward I am back up to full throttle and OFFF the wing just Pops up over you once the wing is up I use the throttle accordingly .....SIMPLES
  9. when I started I used to dread forward launches..... I failed 95% + I just havent got the power in my legs..) then I started to use the power launch I now have a 95% + success rate try it I reckon you will never go back......I now get blown of the ground
  10. Stick it in the washing machine... ...then put it in the dryer.......
  11. reminds me of thunderbird number 2
  12. I used to have a front mounted reserve ,,,,,but after one silly silly stupid mistake when I was talking to somebody.....whilst I was buckling in ...I did not notice that my leg straps were not done up....because I couldnt see them ( the reserve was stopping me see them ).... what followed was something out of a big top trapeze routine ..I dont want to do again..... mine is now mounted behind my head.....I can see clearly now
  13. Here you go ........ http://www.culverprops.com/pitchselection.htm all you will ever need to know just put in your known figures and... BOBS..... your uncle clever EH.....

    Snowdon

    any beach there is loads of them ..Dinas dinlle is a really good one. + you have all the north coast beaches at low tide...just watch the air traffic from Caernarfon airport....not a lot usually take it from me any wind is a bad wind... it can get be very scary even when its calm on the ground its usually blowin up there Once or twice Ive asked myself why am I doing this yet I still go back why I dont know best breeze if any is from the south west to the north if coming from the beaches....as for landing out......your so high you will glide for miles and miles I switched off once and nearly made it back to Caernarfon....and in the microlight I can make it back to the airport....

    Snowdon

    Hey..... Ive got loads of photos flying over Snowdon ! I do it all the time ! Seriously......... and Ive got photos to prove it ( good they are too if I say so myself ) but to post them here is such a hassle..... why carnt I click on add picture.....and then it lets me pick one from my photos in windows the irish paramotor site lets me do this... ....why carnt this one
  18. Alarm bells ......to me anyway......melting plastic decompressor it shouldnt happen sounds like just what happened to my mates. when his engine was running super hot ....and the reason....SIMPLES .....check your timing I reckon its slipped especialy if youve had it pull back on you when starting....the crank has no woodruff key and the flywheel is tightened in position by the tighness of the nut only ......
  19. The very tip of North Wales.......But remember if you fly here you need a Welsh paramotor licence
