  2. Hi Bignose, thanks for the motor some kind chap called Geoff from Paramotorsuk swapped me an extra large harness which was new and I flew tonight. conditions were stunning smooth as silk motor worked well and had me up in no time. I can't wait for the extra 10 kg thrust from the 130. I will keep the cage mine flies in, but good luck, sourcing one Simon
  3. Hi Hedge bender, thanks for that link. I was only really interested perhaps in the frame maybe in the future. As I am now the hopefully happy owner of a secondhand SMN 122. I have started it up it sounds lovely. I will hopefully fly tomorrow, just need to swap my harness. I now have a 1.5 year old Parajet for sale if anyone fancies 15hrs. please see the classifieds. I thought these links may help others cheers simon

  8. New April 2008 Carbon prop 15 hours Starts first time every time lovely motor, I am just too heavy. location Oxford Dinked cage, has been repaired, but not, invisible repair Hence £2800 call Simon 07976 251 318
  9. When I had my crash bang wallop / pathetic falling over - my tank was still all lovely - shame about the prop. Baa
  10. Does that include Gay lovers and Mistresses. I am just thinking of the future.
  11. a truly fabulous Idea, interesting cage setup, similar to a pair of boobs probably which are always a welcome sight.
  12. hello hello - Mr Spigot - I just saw your tag line at the bottom. whats this Motor.. Cors-Air Black Devil ???? is the RAF flying again
  13. Does anyone know their reputation please ? Have you got one ? FB monster ? are you pleased with it thanks
  14. Does anyone know where a secondhand simonini mini 2 200cc engine may be obtained. any ideas considered except sheep shagging, the wife comes from wales, and its considered poor form
  15. yes the synth is surprisingly faster than my revolution. The key point is that I was maxxed on the rpm on that too. even with the trims in on the synth I cruise at 6800 RPM which is still very high but better than the revo as you would expect as it only had 30 sq M. I am in no hurry, as everything works fine but all petrolheads will naturally gravite towards more power. Just bought a 300BHP 1.2 tonne car. Its much safer for overtaking
  16. I weigh a slim = 127kg wing = 10 kg reserve = 5KG clothes instr = 3 KG motor dry = 28 KG total = 173 KG cheers Pete, I just need to wait for a secondhand one to turn up. I did see the black devil for sale at £1200 on some microlight site but will no doubt produce a similar power to mine. My thoughts on motors are that I love my parajet, it revs out fine up to max rpm but there is not enough thrust to keep me up at 70% power. I love the machine otherwise starts first time every time. I am alas operating in the fuel inefficient mode for an engine all the time and cannot deal with heavy sink by using the throttle. Has anyone ever got much more from a different prop without hurting the engine. Also getting up I prefer an aggressive clib rate rather than a powerline flirty type one Macey - its Simon I met you in the car park and bought your revo. I sold it and bought the 42sq metre Cabrio Perhaps I have more wind resitance than you.
  17. Hi All, this question I was going to ask of Pete B however, one way and another I never got the chance to ask him at the flyin. Rather than ring Pete, I thought the forum may appreciate the information. question Can I stick a more powerful engine on my Macro frame ? will it be an easy swap? how much is a http://www.simonini-flying.com/mini2evo_eng.htm, are there any secondhand ones available? if so where My macro is fine but I am running at 90% rpm for straight and level. I would prefer that were 70%, I love power too does anyone have any other suggestions thanks Simon
  18. I personally am setting myself the personal challenge of being the most drunk person at the flyin. let me know if there are any challengers. Roaring drunk -- when you have achieved this state you must place both arms in the air and announce that you are in fact roaring drunk
  19. A Tip from the Skydivers. This weekend and forever more, if you get the chance to help someone to get airborne. do everyone a favour and do a preflight with them its apparently what they do in skydiving. you can't jump in skydiving without doing a joint preflight check All I mean is check the obvious straps riser connections speedbar is connected Tip steering is secure Pilot is not wearing a tie no loose bits string etc the stuff you do for yourself trimmers in the closed position. if we all adopt this flying can only be safer. thanks to skydiver Eddie for this tip lets all try this weekend Simon
  20. stick this in google earth and smoke it 51°46'44.44"N Latitude 1° 6'50.84"W longitude
  21. Private screening in Soho, make sure you take a bottle of 2 stroke with you
  22. the wing looked smaller than mine !! which incidently was faster than Fast eddies Revo. That engine must be hugely powerful to lift a hummer !!
  23. Just thinking out load, trying to solve your problem Imagine a knee board with 4 big wheels. Kneel down strap on " woof " if you will. assuming you have enough ground clearance from the prop and you feet are not hitting the frame. you could technically have a launcher. Dangerous mind you if it dont come up clean
  24. Thanks for the video, it looks lovely, two things however. I was hoping to remain in contact with the earth whilst flicking round corners and doing big jumps. you look like you are flying proper. also does your wing have a trimmers on it ? Cheers Simon
