Zenith with Polini 200. Photos with a Large Paramania Go-Fly wing, but I’m now on a Revo3-29. The Revo doesn’t fit so well with the fuel tank still installed, so I may look at modifying one of the boxes to fit the tank in. Prop straps to the lid of one box. Jerry can in the box (although there’s a 30 litre tank on the front that works as well as a Jerry can). Helmet, reserve, suit etc in the other box. Hoop and spars strapped onto the zenith foot. Couple of Rox-shock straps hold it on, with a couple of safety carabiners to stop it hitting me if I came off. (Also ground the passenger hand rails off the bike and leave the back seat off to create the flat platform for it to lay better).

+1 for the Dubb-love. Really wish I had time to get my 63 Devon back on the road. That would solve the dilemma between Paramotor or camping kit when I can only fit one or the other on the back of my bike. Great vids too.

Great write-up on a great weekend. Interesting to hear that Mark accepts volunteers to assist marshaling. With that many take-offs, fluffs and landings, it was great just waiting at the back of the field watching technique. Last year I just spectated, this year I got in a couple of flights, looking forward to next year already.

Just need the weather to sort itself out now. Had mine a week now and this is as far as it's got:-

Need to get a smaller tent, so I can fit my kit on the bike and actually fly next time. Still, great weekend anyway. Here's a few of my fav pics that I got:-

Merry Christmas everyone. And many Happy Landings for the New Year.

I saw them on the Sunday too. Like it so much I spent last week being trained by Deano. Enjoyed that so much I'm trying to get back down there again next week.

As a newbie, that's just what I need to hear. [uNAMUSED FACE] Looking at the 200 because of my build, instructors recommendation and a single test flight (and 2 on the 130). Pat. That sounds more like it, (unless your advocating drinking&flying [FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE]). Some good local knowledge seems a great place to start.

Just wanted to say hi. Spent last week with Dean Eldridge down at Parajet. Obviously this week was a blow-out for newbies, but hope to get back down for a bit more next week. All being well, want to get my own rig and hope to get up and about around the Newbury/Reading area soon. Looking at a Zenith Thor200 with a Revo2 29 (6'2" and +100kg). Cheers Richy.
