Just brought flyer magazine and in the editors opening letter he talks of sitting in his garden in North Somerset and watching a paramotor flying around? Was that anyone on the forum?!!!

Heres a new pic of simon and the car in spain

Here it is alan!

Hi alan

Yeah it is on here, i did it a few weeks ago..

Its under general discussion me thinks!! ill try and find it

Hi tim

You are in the right place and if you wanna PM me for any advice as i just did my first flight, then please do!!

There are also many others that will help!

What sort of thrust have these bad boys got?!!!

I see simon is selling one?

I toatally agree,

Its healthy debate and as has been said, one of the appeals of this sport is the freedom it brings so hopefully there is no wrong doing.

Now, where can i get me a motor.......!!

Well, maybe until that time i cant see how this can be discussed any further?

). I have been made privy to information that leads me to believe that the Skycar was tested when it did not hold any form of certification..

I cant see how this can even be discussed on a public forum phil if your the only one who has seen this 'information'? Is there not any way you can share the information so that a proper discussion can be had?

Why has there suddenly been so much speculation firstly, once the expedition has started and secondly, when the one man who could probably answer all the questions is away?

Did nobody raise these issues when the whole thing was announced?

I would say simon westmore who is up at lambourn? maybe 30 mkins from you? he is away till march the first but there is enough people on here who will assist until then

Can i have a motor!

Im sure that all this would of been coveverd and that they would not of gone about this on a whim?..!

no worries then

Yeah i see that but it tails off onto GPS?

I cant see the lidl watches anymore so that promotion maybe over

Does anyone use a watch, similar to the Suunto range thats a reliable cheap backup providing compass and altimeter etc?

I will be getting a Garmin vista hcx soon but i am going to be getting a watch for flying and wanted something to incorporate these things at the same time?

Any ideas?

Oh well..

Ive chosen a good week to send the wing off for a service then!!!

Well i messaged aerofix this morning about wanting them to service my wing. Well they arranged to have it collected and it has just left my house now?! so far so good and very prompt

That must of made that a slightly shorter trip!!

Ive heard its going to be freezing again next week?

Ive just booked with aerofix so will keep you all posted

Ok so i see where your coming from.

Im a cuddly 105kgs so will be looking at the top end motor on any make that i choose

Which is better and what are peoples opinions? i notice aerofix are slightly cheaper?

Whats your weight?

Ok thanks.

It sounds like it was a good buy for you and i am a big fan of the pap machines.

Do they sell second hand pap machines then?

Would the purpose of this be for comfort ie: keeping you warm or for carrying things, like a tent?? or both!
