TONYPARAMOTOR

a welcome update .never a update for the last time. knowledge should be ever lasting onwards in time.... = progress

hi, andy thank you it was fun... the virgin pilots know me. and once they landed i can land near to them. a basket load of clients. (10) and i did mention if they minded me flying near to them? .and the pilots said no problem.i also try and be diplomatic concerning the name ....   virgin. ;0) . iam in a region where there are more than a few balloon sites scattered. fun for all on a sunny evening near sunset.

when flying around the virgin balloon there was a lot of rotor and prop wash. so I had to be careful.. other then that good flight. but still rusty with the air time..

hmm  no video.? no proof.? cant do any freestyle flying.?  but can do the chit chat to make him look like. he knows what hes talking about?    ;0)   ( ian5708 )

Hi Tony,  

Thanks for sharing the video.

I hope you don't mind a comment or two.

First of all, you really need to take a full wrap given the length of you brakes.   I used to do sats on a freestyle glider with acro handles similar to your and I would wrap so my hand initiating the turn was above the toggle.  This is because once the glider drops horizontal as you are looking at it you need to pull more and you hand was just too low. I'm not sure you would be able to pull enough and hard enough to enter a SAT with your hand so low.  Saying that, I've never flown the Viper so I dont know and don't know if you have done a SAT before. (Also, your right leg needed to be across your left and you need to brace the right riser with your right arm. I can't see whether you were doing that.) 

This caused you to enter a spiral dive which is ok when practising SAT's.  It better to enter a spiral than spin the glider.

The reason for the cravat was due to a very fast uncontrolled exit out of the spiral and the climb and subsequent pendulum and surge.

With regards to dealing with and removing the cravat, then pulling the stabilo line or 'the loose line' would have most likely removed it.

My advice would be to practice controlled entries and exits of tight 360's and exiting on a pre determinind heading.  As you become more proficient at a controlled exit, then you can gradually increase the speed of rotaion in the turns until you get towards a nose down spiral dive and can exit slowly with some opposite weight shift while releasing the inside brake and perhaps introducing a little outside brake beforeapplying inside brake again to steadily bleed off the speed and then exit on the heading without any exit climb and surge.

The best place to learn SAT's is on an SIV course over water ideally.  

 

 

hmm, show us all your sats on u-tube?. then ill make a comment or two.. have u any u-tube videos at all showing sats? do show us to see. on u-tube is that your u-tube name ian5708? ill check to see.  and you never mentioned my spiral? why not? oh just checked on u-tube = no videos ian5708. show us your sats over water ... ideally. 1/do you fly ppg? 2/have you ever done a sat with a three liner? = ozone viper 3? 4/ as for taking a wrap as mentioned..are you saying no matter what brand of wing.i have to take a wrap always? yes or no?.5/ have you ever done a sat over water with a ppg doing a sat? yes or no. 6/ show me a video of yourself doing a sat over water using a ppg? i know for a fact depending on the type of wing some wings you may need to take a wrap .... but it depends on the type of wing? iam i correct. or are you wrong?   7/has anyone done a sat with an ozone viper 3? please show me..? then ill make comment or two just like you have date 2/5/18 solely for ian 5708 to reply. no one else needs to. there's always two sides of a story. never just one.. " I've already been on a siv course over water" is the water always going to be there if i get into trouble? answer no!!. the water won't be there. and if i choose to practice over land. then it's up to me.no one else.i practice to be experienced i cannot go on a siv course every year.( ppg siv course) and doing a siv with  a pg .its not the same it's far different.i fly a paramotor.. not a paraglider with no engine.. there needs to be more siv courses solely for just paramotors in the world. at a guess, there is two. spain and usa but I may be wrong..

hmm, every one to there own.  this year there are many good events.all are good. a new event set in a different location.but organized by the same well organized.and excellent marshalls and people etc. set near to a beach.and proper runway.and large takeoff area. excellent for all .= family. entertainment.music. trade stands. fun day and night. meet friends. children will enjoy.as well as the pilots.  I can't fault anything .... out of 10 ill pick 8 out of ten.  ill be there this year.already got flying ticket. and watch on u-tube paramotor parafest event over the years.. plenty of space.plenty of loos.plenty to enjoy   ;0)

hmm, others won't be flying the two wings mentioned and none are you. so try and get a demo on the two wings and decide yourself. in many ways a wing or paramotor are both like choosing to buy a car.with a car you don't just buy. you test drive then decide.but you should already know this.      so demo the two wings then make up your own mind...... oh having a demo on a wing should never ever cost anything.and if it does.dont buy the  wing..    like i always say. they want to sell the wing. then let people have there test drive. which costs nothing!!!        savvey

    "YouTube walbro pop off pressure "                    all to do with the 37c carb? and this is what i say to my son quote "you either learn the easy way or the hard way? "and ive already said the easy way? no comments from me concerning this topic. what do i know? rebuilt mx engine raced and won. now flying paramotors same basic engine.but not race? i have years of experience.what have you ?

i rebuilt my carb and still ran the same.. = crap.  but when i renewed the carb 37c it ran fine.. no problems just check the small tube that connects to the carb and the other end to the engine block.near to reed valves casing or block  . and the tube has to be the correct length .. and make sure no air escapes   and even when you run with brand new carb.. check each flight the color of spark plug...

hmm,  on each flight do you check the color of the spark plug?. just to see how the engine is running? e.g. too hot? and spark plug number. as mentioned the reed valves should be checked too.   this is my advice.. i have had problems with the running of my paramotor.. done what you have tried. and its abit like sherlock holmes quote" when you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.' 'It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.' "'    back to me. renew the carb = brand new 37c. and the old carb keep for parts...

the light at the end of the tunnel ....  is getting larger???  with knowledge.  everything comes to those who wait.   ;0)

hi, i hope you dont mind me saying. my view.the  ozone groundhog wing is a training wing.and there is afew about.ukppg have a training wing. i remember going to there site and having a go with the wing and i found it hard!! . i was too.= heavey handed.. with the wing i had.to be more gentle abit like being with a women...., but with the training wing, i found to be far more gentle.and at the same time quick in the relex of the student's reactions.i myself any training wing small and agile is good and i cannot fault anything thats good. so with that ....   thumbs up from   me   ;0)   a good start. hope my view will help.  and it would help me too = kiting

my advise.. lets not jump the gun. get trained and while your being trained with a suitable power plant? and suitable wing..  then and only then .can you decide on the power unit and wing that you wish to choose from.  get trained.       then choose engine and wing.           after your training. if tony from derbyshire chooses an instructor the data. say e.g ukppg is already there from the instructors experience. and rob salt experience.  flying bigger engines bigger wings for there sizes.

hi, i know a paramotor pilot.. from ukppg contact Nigel as he knows from experience what he had to  do to supply a bigger pilot then yourself.  so ask ukppg Nigel davies qualified instructor.   and yes I know rob salt the gentle giant and gang.                  Rob flies a EC-Extreme with the Simonini Mini2EVO engine, and the Air-Design Tandem RIDE Wing.             

turn the volume up at 18.40.

from knochee advice is good...  dont tell anyone how you make secure your paramotor... full stop ..the less anyone knows the better!!. a good anchor and really thick chain. so any bolt croppers wont snap the chain .   if i had my way ill wire the paramotor to the electricity. and if anyone touches it. trying to steal it.there get a very good shock.

iam an experienced paramotor pilot. iam human.. and need to practice often. . this is my need. when i cant fly i can get frustrated .. in part i have the amount of air hours but i still need the need for flight .. "i need the experience"

hi i just watched the lethal incident andyB.  rip for the lady who died.via video.and i can imagine the  pilot was too busy watching the people below.and the skydiver was concentrating or focusing on the landing . and with that = pilot errors = death.  so sorry for all and family.

hi, have a" tandem flight". while in the flight you'll get the chance to control the brake toggles.etc this way you'll find out if flying is for you. tandem flights are carried out by experienced instructors.   paramotor tandem flight.  social events "2018 parafest event wales" i weigh 100kg.   small medium-large or XXL all sorts of wing sizes for all sorts of people

hmm your advice so you have tried doing some spirals just like what i have shown? please show us all your spirals? ill stick to carbon from my experience. and the g-forces.

hi remember going to the first parafestevent in wales.in the valley. i was showing off did a spiral. and knowing the force=g-force i was creating..  it snapped my seat board.  nothing drastic but landed.and as it was inside the harness i patched it up and later bought a new carbon fibre seat board.and the old board was getting on a bit.
