hi is this still all going ahead of the sept dates?if so how do i register? thanks

Do you mean 165kg including a wing and machine or just dressed? If you are 165kg dressed then it would be a great idea to try hanging in some machines as your body may not fit in some harnesses. I was on a paramotor holiday with a big boned person and they couldn't get their bottom into the harness seat, they also were grossly unfit and unable to run on launch or get a motor on their back on their own.

yes it looks like a tangled riser rather than anything wrong.looks to me like the clip in point needs to go through the speed bar loop, et voila.

Yes that is what I said, also remember it is 50yards measured from the centreline of the road/footpath etc.

This is not strictly true, the farmer/ landowner is obviously allowed to shoot any legal quarry or shoot clays or targets on his land, the fact that someone else does not like this is not a breach of the peace, it is only if he were to make threats or shoot in the direction of the other party that he would be considered to be committing an offence. The 50 yard rule only applies to public acces ie centre of road or footpath. The question of suitability is also false, every UK citizen has the right to have a shotgun, it is for the police to find reason why they should not grant a license ( previous custodial sentence, medical issues, previous concerns ) Remember my point re 25 days- this applies to all the fields your friend has not just the one you are using. Your farmer may report a breach to planning.

If there is a road or footpath within 50 yards of where he was shooting then that could be considered an offence if he was causing distress and alarm etc. You could phone up the firearms enquiry officer for his area and let him know, as a shooter myself I think it's very poor to use a legally held firearm to alarm or intimidate someone. His feo would be interested. He may just be shooting pigeons or rabbits, or your take off field may be near pheasant release pens,or he may be concerned about his livestock and livelihood remember that if you are using that field greater than 25 days per year you need planning permission and he could complain that your friend was causing a noise nuisance etc and he could be fined. There 2 sides to this

im about to get a custom bag made for the spars and edge pieces/ netting/ stand etc. ie not the motor and chassis. ive worked out a way of safely putting it all in a bag 78x36x8cm with a small front pocket for prop and netting. let me know if there is any interest i will post pics once ive got mine,

Thanks will be in touch once sorted some tke off sites here, Neil

hi has anyone made there own headset with a active noise cancelling microphone and side tone?? i made a simple PG headset many moons ago but i think in the high noise environment its not going to be suitable for paramotor use- anyone had success converting pc headset systems or designing own from scratch? thanks

Nice one well done, keep pushing the boundaries

That would be fantastic, the metal cap is all I need to make a spare starter, I've tried to mig weld it but it's a cast steel

Hi I live in Berwick, I've seen one other paramotor pilot in air , but up here we have so much airspace and scenery that there is space for a club or a group of similar pilots, I plan t try to do some xc or fly camping next year s hope to meet a group of pilots planning same, thanks

Thanks I have ordered a replacement starter but need the metal cap to make a spare, if no one has one I will get busy with the lathe and miller!

Hello to all, just converting from PG to power, is there any other active pilots or clubs nearby? Thanks

hi all, does anyone have a metal pawl cap cover for the Moster pullstart? its not listed as a separate part and i am waiting for reply from vitorrazzi but i wondered if anyone had the metal cap from an old starter available, thanks, neil
