  1. I've not built an engine for many years but when I did I always ran in for a reasonably short time but paid most attention to warming the engine up gently from cold throughout it's life. I think that has more importance than anything. Interesting one that .....when an engine is cold it wears all the moving parts quicker than when its hot and up to temperature.........So if you rev the bollocks off it from start up it gets up to working temp quicker so by the time its been gently warmed up over a longer period of time its worn more I dont know which way is better......only that thats my take on the subject
  2. Yes he is still alive Its actually his own field and his own cows I think they thought it was feeding time !! ps the third one on the left (bit of a looker eh)
  3. In my youth...........not that long ago it seems (some say I will never grow up) A Part of my work involved working with small plant hire equipment and as a test one time when we had a new make of disc cutter 10 of them.....I took the time to correctly run five of then in....the other five got no attention whatsoever apart from making sure they started and the identification number stamped onto them ......Because if they didnt Start within 5 pulls they usually got thrown across the building site several times every one of the run in machines broke down before even one of the ( THRASHED from the first second ) machines broke down.......To me that was all the proof I needed... ....A Paramotor engine is very much the same as it works at very high revs nearly all the time...in fact if a engine in anything works harder than a disc cutter engine I would be surprised ...Used and abused comes to mind ... What we need is disc cutter engines in paramotors (if they made them just that little bit bigger)
  4. Probably better than 90% of the professionally built machines........ although it hangs low off his back not very good for your lower leg and ankles on take off or landing owch a little tweek here and there .......good though

  6. I asked the Ebay seller the question That How can you sell this paramotor trike saying that you dont need a licence to use it when infact you do...... and this is his answer Correct, but with this mini trike its possible to take off as a traditional foot launch therefore not requiring a nppl, and if it can be proved that it can be done and videoed (which we have done) then the regulation stands as a standard FLA (foot launch aircraft) we ran this by the CAA complete with video and they accepted all the above I think I would like to see the video that he goes on about......
  7. I think I might have missed some rule change and we can now all launch from wheels http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/flymecc-carbo ... 139wt_1270

  13. Got to get my own back An English politician was giving a speech in Aberystwyth. He said: “I was born an Englishman. I have been an Englishman all my life, and I will die an Englishman!” “What’s wrong, boyo?” shouted a voice from the crowd.“Got no ambition, have you?”
