Hi Norman, thanks for that, what was takeoff like on the synth with the Parajet ? compared to the Revo. cheers Simon

Hi All, I decided to weigh myself to gain an understanding of wing weight Also I thought I was slightly more lightweight than I am 127KG me 6 KG ish Revo 30 4 KG ish Reserve 38KG 2 hours of fuel + Macro total weight is 175 hanging underneath 30 sq Metres fabric giving a loading of 175/30 = 5.83 KG per square metre wing loading. Please can any other Revolution flyers do the sums and tell me if they are near my wing loading on a Revo. If you are, how are the Nil wind launches, any special tips please

Hi Pete we can definately try a swap next time i see you mine alas has a small mod to the top cylinder connecting harness to frame, a small matter for a man of your calibre, no doubt. I will show you when I see you next baa

I'm just sorry there were no flames!

I agree, no power = no fly whatever the weather , how much is the prop and what is the lead time please ? ta

Hi Si thanks for that, I have put my tiny tach on and not changed the settings so when I have a prop - can you sell me one pls I will check its power. my theory is why not make this area of flying easy if you can - I agree more power or more canvas = more easy takeoff. hope to see you up the hill soon, Colin put me in touch with an Ali welder in Stanton, I just need a prop baaa

I thought I may as well carry on this thread, as its here already, Does anyone fly at lambourn with a 34 synth? would it be possible to maybe try the wing. I have revo 30. thanks Simon

Help looking for a 2 bladed 125CM propeller for a macro after my gardening incident at the weekend. can you suggest where I may get one of these from please at a reasonable price, and delivered quickly Kind Regards Lawnmower man

Alas on my second and final attempt at face planting I wiped out my prop and guard as well, (alas no flames) , oh well! it was a lovely weekend well done to Simon W and great to meet many new people. Allie and Doug (hosts) enjoyed the event also. Simon

If the forecast had no rain just sun, it could also be blowing 15mph and you could not fly, if you look at Accuweather today for oxford, is fine all day with a shower this evening. A couple of showers tomorrow, but the wind is lovely all weekend, light gentle reverse launch. you will get some good flights in baaa

PS there is free wifi here if you need

I can confirm that the weather at the common leys airpark is Bright overcast conditions cloudbase at over 2k ft. Windsock is planted Wind is blowing gently at 3-4 MPH. (direction unknown) I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited. Baa

Weather looks quite good overall there will be showers there will be sun, the wind is a good strength, Accuweather are currently reporting Friday Night a couple of showers NE at 8 km/h. Saturday a couple of showers. Winds from the N at 8 km/h. (sun otherwise) Saturday Night partly cloudy. Winds from the NNW at 9 km/h. Sunday perhaps a shower. Winds from the NW at 8 km/h. Sunday Night mainly clear. Winds from the WSW at 8 km/h. which all said and done looks perfect reverse and go English weather. I am hoping to fly friday night. Lets hope the forcast delivers !

Please post here if you are staying for sunday lunch at the farm for the flyin this weekend The landylady is a brilliant cook and only sources lovely meat. many thanks

Tonight the wind is 6mph straight up the hill - blue skies and Jellyfish crop circles abound. is anyone up for a flight tonight. I prefer not to go alone lest I spontaniously combust? Simon

have you established a plot if so lets have it, if not may I recommend the 3 word group writing technique where one person says three words and someone else continues. if you could perhaps set the scene for the writing to evolve around for example the commonleys flight deck to include sex *removed by admin* and flying of course + animals e.g Simon Pete and

I think that at the flyin after a few beers on saturday night - if you make a plan beforehand you may get plentyof captain's etc.

I spoke to Simon and he said he had sold it on ebay to buy Pete a Molotov cocktail at the flyin bar I hope you dont mind the ribbing Pete

Hi Pete I am very sorry to hear about your troubles get well soon! Simon

my video country boy burger eater comes out soon, I can flip a burger straight from the Barby catch it and eat it, whilst hopping on one leg with a beer in one hand. its amazing hopefully show you at the flyin

G. Oh dear, I,m afraid that was me as well! I flew their all through the winter, no problems! Then one day he just turned up, and told me it was not permitted, we had a few crossed words on the matter, and I left! In my defence, the only low flying I did, where two large circles, attempting to land. Regards, Danny. Here here - very well done for putting your hand up, its completes the cycle and closes the matter. we all make mistakes in life we are human, but plenty don't put their hand up. Simon

somebody stop me

Hi Ed, the co ordinates are a site that is common land have a look on google earth, may see you sunday simon

I was born in Haddenham, so its not so far off, Mum lives in whitchurch and in an NE to SE wind guy the farmer has a a lovely takeoff. OK IOU a tenner and a pint and I'll throw in a slippery nipple. its one of Allie favourites. Not my nipple or hers just one put together for the occasion. if the weather is "Good" I am happy to come over and ruin your takeoff rights if your up for a friday night flyin, we can work out collecting the cars somehow I am sure. as for pre flight checks, I can start Thursday. anyway we can takeoof from tetsworh if u fancy here its common land oh arrh and lovely and big and flat and smooth just how I like my women 51°42'59.23"N 1° 0'50.23"W baa
