  1. Finally found a great Roadster2! 3 months old, 2 flights on it, guy needed money. Kited it for the first time last night, seems decent, my old edel power atlas doesnt have split A's or a speedbar, Trimmers are different, so alot of extra stuff on the risers to get used to. Look forward to my first flight, wx is supposed to be crappy for a week.
  2. I seen it, looks good, Ill probably order one in a month or two
  3. Hey Matt, Do you have a picture of how you did the bungee? Mine kicks back hard and it sucks.
  4. Cool, buddy and I seen someone flying by white rock last summer, was that you? We fly at Semiahmoo and could see them across the water, I think it was white rock anyway...
  5. Roadster 2 vs Spyder, thoughts for a second wing?
  6. Thanks! Must not be a very popular wing? I figured it was out long enough to get some feedback.
  7. Anyone still flying one? Im looking into my second wing, I want an easy to launch and land wing, dont care much about speed, I like to just loaf around the sky. It was suggested to me so Im doing a little research. Thanks
  8. on mine I had to take the spacers out, I put them on the outside as the bolts are so long it needed them. Works great.
  9. Ok, made a couple flights yesterday with the non flash starter, its not as nice to start, but it still starts fine, feels good knowing I wont have to replace a prop due to the pull start now!
  10. also, since I have a polini non flash starter coming, will it bolt right on without changing anything?
  11. Why the heck didnt you post that a week ago? My polini one shipped last night finally. Now if I can get someone to answer about adjusting the thor100 clutch.. Thanks
  12. manual mentions adjusting 3 screws to adjust the clutch speed, anyone done it? Mine engages barely over idle, like to raise it some if possible.. Thanks
  13. I have a non flash starter on order, not sure when itll be here, has to come from polini themselves as nobody had one in stock in the US that I could find. Is there a special method to starting without the flash setup? Other than itll be harder to pull now?
  14. Grrr, half an hour into my flight yesterday, the starter let the rope out, hit the prop. Two flights on this thing, and the starter has failed both times, frustrating for a new guy. Looking into converting it to a non flash I guess.
  15. I didnt remove the motor from the frame, just loosed bolts enough to get the starter out.
  16. How hard was it to disconnect the flash starter? Did you keep the engine attached to the frame whilst doing it? Pretty easy, when you move the 'seat' out of the way you can reach everything pretty well. I loosened all the engine bolts, and took the bottom two totally out so I could angle the motor to get it off.
  17. I want to know this also, I want to build my own helmet setup.
  18. I took it off and cleaned it all up, the end of the rope inside the starter somehow came out. Anyway, it works smooth now.
  19. How do I change my email address?
  20. Messaged ya! Ive found a handful of people around the state, theres a few out there, but not alot!
  21. First flight for me on my new to me used parajet/thor100 with the flash starter, but the handle didnt come out, rope came out the bottom of the thing? And it has a knot in the end of it.... Tried to post a pic but cant here it seems.
  22. I guess then, that would be a long takeoff faceplant
  23. my worry is just not being able to run fast enough to leave the ground.
  24. Learned a little about wings last night, found a local PPG flyer, and he let me kite his wing, it was much easier and I had no problems.. He tried kiting my wing, and had problems, so Im happy to know its not just me, its my wing... His said Muse 3 on the wingtip, mine is an edel power atlas.
