Hi Simon really sorry to hear you've been having problems. I've done the resubscribe, just to let you know I membership had been renewed on 14 Jun 2020  so I had about 10 months to go

Looking forward to seeing you at the next flyin all the very best jez

The CAA brought out an exemption allowing wheels in 2017 the trike must not be more than 70 kg with fuel and not carry more than one person. If you search the site will find the notice that Simon posted at the time. Hope this helps,  jez

Hi I weigh around 125 KG and suffered a spinal injury some years ago so with a combination of the bad back and being a fatty my running is somewhat limited. I took up paramortoring after my accident and have always found foot launching quite a challenge and tended to only fly on days with a reasonable wind. My first paramotor was an MZ 34 loads of grant but heavy I flew this with different older paraglider wings which can be picked up for a couple of hundred pounds. The MZ eventually gave up the ghost and I swapped to Simonini MINI 2 PLUS which proved to be very reliable and had plenty of power to get me into the air. With the change in the rules regarding trikes that's the way I have now gone, so much easier than foot launching and I'm happily flying with no wind at all. the trike is a home built using a V3 with 190 and a paramania REVO 2  29. Takeoff run is quite long but who cares when you've got wheels and with all the weight it's quite fast once you're up there. In short what I'm trying to say if you're like me go for the trike you won't regret it.

Hi I would love to meet up with a group or individual in the Shepton Mallet area or anywhere in Somerset. I'm really keen to get started, and would love to speak to people with some experience for general flying chat so I can learn more.

Kind regards jez
