  2. Awesome find that is amazing. as a reality check I would guess that is a GA engine reccomending BMW oil. no doubt far east manufacture. Also be careful at that price someone else has bought one and is happy It looks purpose made for paramotoring. the more I look the more I no like see below Domain name: GAENGINE.COM Administrative Contact: tom, jackson gaengine@hotmail.com 1000 National Ave San Bruno, CA 95101 US +1.1888216831 Technical Contact: tom, jackson gaengine@hotmail.com 1000 National Ave San Bruno, CA 95101 US +1.1888216831 Registration Service Provider: Ecommerce, Inc., registrars@ecommerce.com 800-861-9394 http://ecommerce.com UNLIMITED Storage Space, 3 TERRABYTES of Monthly Transfer & up-to 16 domains, starting at $3.95!

  3. cheers Pete I may take you up on the offer, weather permitting, but it sounds like she is sucking to much too quick not a usual problem with the she's I know. the entire flight was spent at cruise 5k rpm as I was waiting for a mate to takeoff burn 5.2l /hr
  4. Oh Simon you are such a slut ! 19 in 7 days and I bet you want more PMC virgin's
  5. Good idea thanks Lads. I will try tuning the top screw 1st. I just need someone else to help me hold it. as I have technically lost 1400 rpm from what the machine is capable of 7200rpm. I have fitted a larger prop I can understand that it may drop by say 4-500 rpm but I have still 1000rpm missing. thanks Simon
  6. thanks for the info Mr Andrews small update if this is my carb and it looks identical matched with the engine http://www.poweredparaglidingontario.com/improvements/carb_adjustment.htm then I can report that the low is exactly as factory default and the high is slightly richer it the article it says default (always rich) 3/4 turn from the seat for the high screw. mine is another 1/8 turn richer. Perhaps this could account for the low max rpm? come home Pete
  7. I have a smn 122 which can take the 130 prop with no mod to the redrive for extra economy. I should mention that it revved about 1-200 RPM higher with the 122 prop It looks totally standard cheers Simon
  8. Perhaps I could get a fusion stacker, similar to the flexifoil !!
  9. Hello fellow flyers please can you photograph this house next time your up the best picture gets a pint - I landed there last night many thanks 51°45'57.04"N 1° 4'58.70"W Si
  10. Hello a few questions to other pilots of this motor. first off I was told by Geoff from Paramotors uk that other pilots get 3litres / hour out of their simonini's which I thought was a bit low on the consumption side. I did not buy it from him with a 9 litre tank I was thinking even if wrong I will get 2.5 hours. 1 hour 45 minutes later I was standing in some ladies garden, who I offered to photograph her ........... house as a guesture of good will. I will know that she likes me, if she appears naked outside. anyhow moving on. I fitted a Tiny tach. and on cruise it shows 5010 with the 130 prop and I can just about go full trimmers out. however full power is only 5600. I have a feeling it should be more like 7000 rpm. So at 5000 rpm I killed the motor last time and the plug was a lovely light brown. I am confused, the fact that I can't rev above 5600 surely means its running too rich ? the consumption of 5.3 litres / hour would support that the fact that its light brown on the plug surely means its running correct ? its a walbro 32 carb - I think I also think that the low is possible slightly too lean as it bogs slightly when you gas it. ( but this could be due to the heavier 130 prop) could it be too lean on the low to rich on the top any ideas other experiences cheers Simon

  12. it sounds like would need training only in certain areas, it is best to get proper guidance on kit technique and pitfalls in areas you have no experience. or you will pay for it in new cages /props. we fly from farmer fields mostly, the sheep ask that you treat them kindly training need not be expensive. Simon or Pete can no doubt guide you
  13. Some Pictures if you will http://www.flickr.com/photos/43152243@N07/3973817523/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/43152243@N07/3973816879/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/43152243@N07/3974583574/
  14. I use the ring, not just for the name automotive also does cars and tells u if its internals have been so badly abused that never again will it crank over.
  15. I am at the airport bored - I will fish the Harness out later, when I get home, assuming we don't faceplant. The Simonini was lovely with the 122 prop - looking forward to noticing the difference with the 130cm prop which is at home. it purred along very nicely. Speak soon. the harness will fit no problem Simon
  16. Hi bignos what model exactly did you buy, which engine. Did I give you permission to use my money in such a frivilous fashion, PS parajet throttles are very lovely but no empty light.
  17. Sunday Looks quite flyable is anyone around ? cheers Simon maybe attempt a crosscountry maybe get wasted instead
  18. unless they use a turbo / supercharger I will never own a bailey. at 127kg I aspire to eat less and that's about it. does anyone know where one may buy a polyethylene tank 14 / 12 litre from, you know the shape almost square but oblong really . when I get home I will take a picture of my hole. so you might see! My predicament! Kind Regards Simon
  19. Hi Lads, has anyone fitted a larger tank, in the same hole if so please can you describe it thanks
  20. low hangers give more feedback for thermalling / judging the air better better weightshiftability. (new word?) all PG pilots prefer them as its all they use. feedback is kingt in PG. high hang points have worse feedback, possibly easier launch someone said, unsure. less bumpy in the same conditions compared with low. if you have a choice go low, so you can feel it and turn in it better. baa
