  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 :shock: 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 :P

  2. In my youth...........not that long ago it seems (some say I will never grow up) :P:P

    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 :shock:

    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 ... :twisted::twisted:

    What we need is disc cutter engines in paramotors (if they made them just that little bit bigger) :idea::idea:

  3. 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...... :shock:

  4. 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?”

  5. What did the bull say to the cow?

    When I fall in love, it will be for heifer.

    When the cow fell over the cliff, little Sarah couldn't stop laughing. After all, there was no point in crying over spilt milk.

    Joe: Did you ever see a horse fly?

    Pete: No, but I once saw a cow jump off a cliff.

    :lol::lol::lol:

  6. Here is something else to laugh about on those wet and windy days....

    When I go to NZ in the winter (our winter) there is a radio station called the Rock its always on in the Van

    and every week they have a slot called ( wind up your wife ) its epic and has even been taken off the air before now because of all the trouble it can/does cause......there is a huge list of them that you can listen to on their web site some of them will make you cringe....here is one from earlier this year that had me pull over in a layby crying with laughter :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
