  1. SOLD to a dodgy geezer in Farnborough
  2. Anyone else spot a useful paramotor additions for those stealthy flights......
  3. Will they be armed, very useful for taking out stolen cars etc....
  4. When was that ? it's really muddy in the winter months, last winter I had many failed attempts at the hill, in the summer it's a piece of piss, even got up in my 3.5 ton camper van and recovered RAF Colin on the way !! I may be joining the Shabbington fliers if the weather plays ball this weekend.
  5. Whats the track to the flagpole like for us non 4x4 drivers ?
  6. Check out Danny Westons cool GoPro HD video, someone remind him of the 500ft rule. [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]
  7. WOW - V Twin, you know you would have to get a Vance and Hines exhaust to make it a Harley for the air

    Sounds like a dragster on full throttle, bet the neighbours love you !
  9. Fair comments boys but don't forget we can go to the various Lemmings fly in's, Pie & Peas, Farmer Daves, Las Can etc etc for a change of scenery....but if you have a cool new venue in mind with stunning scenery then why not.
  10. Nah, easter is the bit between winter and summer, I'm sure we can find one weekend in there somewhere !!
  11. Hey Simon, can we have an Easter fly-in at Commonleys ?
  12. Not as cool as this one... [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]
  13. Just been out for a pie and pint so I'm working on it, the Parajet was noticeably more comfortable than the H&E, I'm not saying the H&E is uncomfortable but I do notice myself wiggling a bit to stay happy. Roads are crap here so not gone to a field this year to fly, have a nice pair of heated gloves to try out !! am hoping Simon secures a field with winter car access at Lambourn soon or I won't be flying from there for a few months, have to stick to Guildford instead.
  14. H&E R120 Like the steel cage on mine, have bent it back into shape after a couple of stumbles. Like the clutch, has saved my prop a couple of times (see above) Like the economy with the bigger prop Like the price compared with other motors Like the power, even with a smaller prop it throws me into the air Like the weight, or lack of it Like the availability of parts (don't like having to buy them though) Dislike the comfort, gets a bit tiring after an hour or so in the seat. Dislike the size, has to be broken down to transport
  15. feck that's a mad stunt, forget your 500ft rule, try a 50,000 volt rule !!
  16. Courtesy of NASA, high res version CLICKY
  17. Nice, you could see where the stills came from. My hilltop flying site in the borders was just impossible to get to over Christmas so I was gutted not to get any snow pics which is a shame cos the MOD stopped flying there during that week.
  18. Like it !! Simon is it cold enough for you ? just watched the news, -18C at Benson last night !!
  19. Just made a snow pilot...decided not to drag the motor out of the garage though !!
  20. A must watch is Simons latest video explaining the jetstream path (on the 500 millibar chart) and why the cold northerly is here for a while yet. [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]
  21. I remember the news bloody pikey scum
  22. Thanks Jim I'll put a note in the Surrey section, I guess it's not flying from Fairoaks anymore ?
  23. lucky bugger, theres so much here I can't get to the take off field - it's inches deep in sheet ice on the road, -8 last night, oh the joys of staying with parents who live in the wilderness (borders)
