  1. Hi Adam, I am just going to post this here just in case it is not how you are wearing your throttle, worth watching as good educational video, you may of not been trained this way but hopefully we live and learn and more of us get a better experience out of our flying. And another point Ian does not make on his video is when used like this if you should happen to drop the throttle their is less slack making it less likely to get anywhere near the prop.
  2. Lee you definitely have your odd moments especially when start to mix your flying and paddling never forget this one
  3. Very true adjustments are only like a screw driver blade thickness adjustment and experienced tuners do it by sight and listening to engine, when set right after you give it some throttle the revs will drop then pick up again as should.
  4. Latest update from this year including https://www.scoutparamotor.com/update-best-paramotor-engine-ever-4stroke-news/
  5. I fly a Moster but XC's is were i am looking to go so this engine if reliable and puts out anywhere near the expected figures, will be my hands down choice and yes i know the wing choice also comes into the equation
  6. Tim Paul messaged me earlier to see if i was going to be at one of our flying club locations during this week as he will be there with said engine , but big possibility the day he has chosen is no good for me , current suggested thrust figures and fuel consumption with overall engine weight make it a game changer .
  7. Mark easy question but loads of answers as previously asked weight ?, then there is style of flying ie :- leasure, xc, ?, and yes i own a Paramania wing and find launching easy either forward or reverse, but more thirstier in flight than my Dudek which launches and lands 80% better (IMO), plus new design's do fly almost by themselves now and technology has even decreased overall weight so a win win situation.
  8. Danny will be back and he is not that far away from you
  9. Very Sorry to those that have read and followed my Adventure but been lapse again which i did not expect to happen . But it came down to being a key worker and weather crap when i was off meaning i actually lost the love for flying and made worse by seeing and hearing others flight reports . But thankfully i was royally kicked in the rear and forced to fly to which it worked i have now got back into it . Bit annoyed about fly ins getting postponed and cancelled and now not able to go to PMC july fixture, but currently looking for a van to convert to day van come mobile garage for my Paramotor so onward's and deffo Upward's
  10. Danny there is a Mobie number just ring him
  11. I have a moster engine and fly Uni 1.1 28 and i tend to weight shift by putting right leg over left, but last flight did use tea line and found out bottom knot needs moving down slightly, but i was trimmed out to 15 and this was to gain level flight , but keep meaning to try the upper loop to see the difference. But IMO i will adjust the tea knot as can be applied or undone as torque steer not a problem at lower throttle use
  12. And that it exactly what everybody else goes by only some tend to use 710 more because it seems not to carbon up crown ans head so quick as 800.
  13. just go on their web page bottom left and Skype and talk to Dana always worked for me
  14. I will give him another nudge tomorrow as just realized he has NOT got back to me again until i came on here very sorry Toppy
  15. Numerous times people have mentioned this and several times goes down to incorrect fuel mixture , only other thing i would ask is oil Make your using and ratio percentage ?
  16. Messaged Jim again just now and he had forgotten so going in garage in next 30 minutes, so hopefully by end of day should be good news dependent on price i can beat him down too
  17. Sorry Mark yes they did and if it is any consolation they fit exactly right
  18. Suggestions thoughts scrap it will never be safe even if you did manage too do it just NOT worth the riisk or the cost of the possible damage to you or your equipment and even other third party or anything else
  19. Hopefully got one sorted just waiting to confirm details, but one minor question does your motor have electric start ?, Not that it is a problem mine has 4 wires (might be standard to have 4) and if this one has 2 then i will just swap it .
  20. Official settings for L screw 1/4 to 1/3 of turn but i would set it so it ticks over and then adjust accordingly so it revs cleanly, i would not worry about plug colour at idle just get it ticking over and cleanly revving, the only way to do a plug chop is to warm it up and do a 15 minute flight and turn it off then glide in and land, if not possible there might be other problems ?, how many hours on motor ?, how long since carb rebuilt?, how long since flown ? the list goes on.
  21. Leave it with me i post up and see what is about and get back to you asap
  22. Not that i used Andy but Green dragons is very good from hearsay in the community, but probably best to just give them a call and have a chat
  23. Mark i messaged Zinuzoid with the intention of buying them, but was informed somebody who flies from same field was going to buy them and not heard anymore so guess it was a Yes sold
  24. If your on Facebook go on the "UK Paramotor Buy/Sell Group" and ask normally somebody pops up who has one, bought my last one on there half price also Do you want left or right hand
  25. You never mentioned or referred to BHPA Trainers that was not my suggesting just giving an honest reply to your question, i know the distance looks long but believe me once you meet the Wingland motley crew you will not regret it , most trainers you go to will result in a bit of travelling, and yes i probably am slightly biased but there is stories out there from most trainers you just have to go with what you think best , Simon from here is good but that involves serious travelling and incorporating more costs.
