    Finally had one flying day yesterday. Checked the max. RPM => 8200 RPM.
  2. coolhand
    No sure about the max. rpm. will check when the weather gets better (at the moment it is raining cats and dogs). I never change my jets, flown between +35 and -15 (C) sealevel.
  3. coolhand
    Just for reference, I fly my 200 evo (no HF-kit, sealevel) with the following settings: Main Jet: 146 Idle:42 Needle pos: 2. I found the pwk carb very sensitive for float adjustment, however when adjusted correct it will operate super all-year around (I fly Aspen fuel).
  4. coolhand
    maybe a bit silly answer, but are they mounted the correct way around?

    Very Sad news. RIP.

    I would have to disagree with the statement "single most unreliable engine"! Is it flawless, No, are there some specific issues (flash starter) Yes. However I fly one, and many friends do also with great performance and reliability. It comes down to, on time maintenance and some TLC.

    Nice video Scott. What's the length of your line connecting the followcam to the wing?

    Contact them directly and you will know for sure. http://www.vittorazi.com/en/contacts/

    Skyflar is regarded as one of the best available right now. I fly using an Abrams 360, and get positieve comments from fellow pilots.

    Looks somewhat overengineered........;)

    I started out on school equipment and halfway through bought a new wing and almost new motor (only 10 hrs).

    Absolutely love my 26 Spyder, however there is one thing I would like to have incorporated. That is a scale on the trimmer tabs. Now there are basically 3 equal (between left and right) settings, full in, full out and take-off/landing. All the intermediate positions are not marked. Looking at some youtube video's I see some other brands have a scale on the trimtabs. Anyone out there who marked there trimtabs by themselves?

    ask someone to make a video of your take-off and analyse this afterwards. Will help tremendously in understanding.

    I am using my Suunto Ambit Peak 3 for quite some time, easy to use, great battery life and good readability. When compared to secondary GPS units the Ambit is spot on. Unfortunately the AP3 is discontinued, however can still be found online. Second Pro is that it can also be used for navigation with scrolling displays showing exactly what you want (speed, height, trackback etc.). One thing it cannot is show your groundspeed versus direction, meaning are you flying backwards or not

    Paragliding brothers I know, use this: http://gethighstayhigh.co.uk/products/. Battery life is great and readability, even in bright sunlight, is superior due to the e-inkt screen. I have no first hand experience just from hear-say.

    I realy like my TomTom Bandit action cam. Has builtin GPS so al flightdata available.

    Aspen is the way to go. I only fly using Aspen and absolutely no degradation of fuel lines etc.

    It's definitely more dynamic using tipsteer
  21. coolhand
    I am also a happy owner of a Spyder and as far as I can tell the tipsteer must be used when fully accelarated (either speedbar or trims full out) and can be used during all other fases of flight. I stow the brakes when above 300 ft and start using the tipsteering as this requires much less effort

    Looking good. I attaced my Sena to the fixed part of the moving (....) earcovers. Keeps it more "low-profile".
  23. coolhand
    I am also a beginner and also flying a Spyder (26). Love the ease of inflation and handling in flight (speed, turning, tip-steer, large speedrange etc.).
  24. coolhand
    Great concept, filled in the questionnaire.
