    Fitted! now I should be more visible to those fast moving airplanes goes through a 2amp fuse and a seperate switch to the master, opti mate was also fitted so now all I have to do is leave it plugged in (when not flying) and i should have a tiptop fully charged battery every time. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OPTIMATE-4-12v-MOTORCYCLE-MOTORBIKE-BATTERY-CHARGER_W0QQitemZ180474372051QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Motorcycle_Parts?hash=item2a051c5fd3 Tom

    Where is the best place to put this strobe? was thinking of putting it on top of the cage but have seen a picture of one mounted in the air box. Any experiences or ideas would be appreciated as I'm going to fit it at the weekend along with an optimate battery saver . Cheers Tom

    Actually I take back the comment about it being a good vid, having just watched it again it's actually rubish

    good vid [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Shame about the hard sell in the comments.. "Zero people have ever died on a Flat Top. It is one of the safest sports out there. If she is ok with you skiing or mountian biking then let her know those are 2 of the most dangerous sports. The incredible safety is NOT for all paramotors though, that safety record is ONLY for the Flat Top, there is a huge difference so don't get the cheap stuff:)."

    I thought the same thing when I watched it, stood in line with the prop! In the line of fire should anything have been picked up ! I guess the BBC have a risk assesment Policy to give anyone a headache... But they missed this one. Tom

    Not sure on that one Dave, maybe graphics card not quite up to the job but thats only a wild guess
  17. tommcb6016
    also don't get complacent, I read somewhere that the most dangerous time is around 30 hours flight time. Not that i'm anywhere near that yet.

    Dave, It records in H.264 but saves it as MPEG4 so you need to download a player that will play that format. I use Quicktimehttp://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ it's free and works well. Tom

    It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than... being in the air wishing you were on the ground.. That was repeated over and over during my training
  21. tommcb6016
    I didn't ( by the time I got myself sorted it was too late to pact the car and head to the field. Plus it was probably water logged anyway Nice to hear someone got up anyway:-) hopefully next weekend. Tom
