Great, huge fields, low hedges, no pylons!!! Where are you based?
NIce flight, plenty of height so it doesn't p*ss people off, even the cows weren't bothered by you. I prefer to cut the engine on final approach, stops me pulling the trigger by mistake, cuts noise, and precautionary to stop a line getting into prop. and dragging whole wing in!
Lovely flying in the evening with the sun low.
hi, i left a message on u-tube .what happened when i began to land.my throttle cutout switch wouldn't work. worked at preflight checks before I took off.no problem thou. I can land with engine on tick over. but if I had a choice I switch engine off just before landing.. found out solder came apart causing disconnection.. depends what iam practising for? did u like the big ears?? sunset flying is like flying on a different planet.. = magic ;0) . pylons are there !!! i avoid the pylons... mess with pylons and they will make a mess with you.tx for your comment

hmm, watch the video I've put up. then you decide...iam very lucky over the years I've built up a relationship with a farmer. I have large fields to fly.. in as seen in the video. I have over 1,000 air hours.. iam no expert I make mistakes .iam human. i practice when i can. as I get a bit rusty...waiting for the weather to be flyable.. finding a field to practice ?? just keep asking. the farmers... if your learning then it will be harder. as no one wants anyone to get hurt and maybe you sueing the farmer...oh thermals can be dangerous... if your a novice or experienced pilot . live and learn or learn and live. flying a paramotor is abit like life ... it has its ups and downs... just like life.

hi, simon i agree with you. and as mentioned in usa and maybe other countries they have the same thing.. contact a dealer let him know the wing size and pilot weight then post wing direct to the customer .. and if any damage to the demo wing then would be pilot has a choice to buy or pay for damages. and for which. iam happy to do.i remember i wanted a demo on a u-turn wing and spoke to a dealer in uk and they where very vague.i think they where more paraglider dealer.but anyway i wanted a demo with a u-turn paramotor wing.and they said ill have to put down £1.500.00 pounds. and with that i said no tx ... good bye. hence things need to change..

hi I've been trying to get a demo on a paramotor wing...? I've contacted clive mason. and paul bailey. both helpful but they both have no demo win for me to try.? now this is how I see it. anyone who sells paramotor wings needs demo wings for anyone to demo.so the manufacturers the makers post on to the dealers so they can sell. so where does this leave the customer ??? up the creek with no paddle. I want a demo to see if the wing is for me or not? e.g. in the states I may be wrong pilots can contact the wing dealers then they post the demo wing on. here's a video that I found .... geez things need to change..... times like this I think about having a test drive with a brand new car... no hassle test it and if happy buy it. if not happy.try another car test drive? or iam I the only pilot that has trouble trying to get a wing demo????

hmm if your starting training?? as mentioned.. so where is the field your training on? ill correct you .as your a bit mixed up ...whos training you? wheres the training location? ask the instructor for information? or are you training yourself? little bits of info that can get mixed up? and as for the roughly 6 football pitches in size.you're an adult you decide whats best for you? and not us = strangers........ who nothing about you. converse with people such as landowners then while thinking then decide whats best for you..

yes pulled too hard with the brake. because the ozone viper 3 is very sensitive.not all wings are the same. different brand of wings react differently. hence the spiral lock..= g-force. but because iam use to the g-forces iam use to it.because i practice...... ive even done a spiral creating g -forces and snapped the seat harness board.changed to carbon fibre. a cravat can just happen doing any type of acro . its not lethal.. there is some control.and there are options. oh can anyone show me a sat with a paramotor using a ozone viper 3??? or iam i the only one ? or try doing a spiral then feel the ....force its called experience. and i need experience no matter how many air hours i have ;0|

Hi Tony. Nice video. What was the mistake? Looks to me something like excessive turning while unpowered caused a partial collapse. I've never power motored but I've done around 50 skydiving jumps.
sorry, William i have just noticed your comment. without being rude .you having 50 skyjumps means nothing. the only common thing is =air. my mistake is i pulled too hard on the riser .the paramotor wing is a ozone viper 3. 3 riser it reacted too quick. my mistake. but due to my experience, i was shitting myself inside my mind. because of my experience.. mx.being a roofing contractor and dealing with fear. i know for a fact .pannicking will not help... i have well over one thousand air hours... and with that .flying is like life always learning. iam human i make mistakes. the collapse is called a cravat. and as the seconds go by i decided to untangle the cravat.for which i still had control.= partial. regained my composer . and headed to my LZ get home for afew beers. ;0) flying is like life always learning......... oh after i had a few beers i changed my pants they where white now brown...... hope this helps a ski jumper.
