  1. I was going to put another paramotor together. But a cheap walkerjet with a solo came up so i bought it for the winter. Pick it up 2morro.will be out with it tues will get some pics of the malverns etc.xmass day looks good for free flying the malverns looks like there will be quite a few pgs out xmass day it has to be done.WILL BE FLYING IT WITH MY TRUSTY SKYWALK CAYENNE.
  2. Yes from monday its looking good for flying 12 days of its flyable..ok maybe not all 12 days.ho ho ho////hill flying and ppg this coming week about time/////
  3. There is the lemmings ppg club not far from u and for training try AV8ER NR BANBURY or beyond extreme church stretton.THERE IS A FEW PPG PILOTS AROUND BRUM/BROMSGROVE/WORCESTER.look on paramotors uk find a pilot section///
  4. phil where where u flying from, i went to leckhampton hill at cheltham with the pg and was in thick fog so i nearly was above the cloud.but my feet where still on the ground.nice pic u cant beat it///
  5. ive been looking around about the g6.u maybe right about the frames.but they have source another outlook for them as the first frames where not up to spec.The g6 motor is being used by a well known german dealer for there next paramotor range,also a ppg maker in america seem to like the motor they 2 will be using it.The motor sells for £900 complete.If it turns out to be ok that will make it cheapest on the market.interesting that other paramotor dealers will be useing it.we have had problems with some well known ppgs esp on the bolts on the hang arms.but time will tell.might be worth buying the motor and putting it in a better frame.
  6. i would two but thats what the spec sheet reckons.it may be down hill////ha
  7. I see parashop is selling the g6 for £2495.00.thats a cheap ppg.they have tested them for 100hrs with out any probs. a decent second hand one would cost that.is anyone thinking of buying one.i have emailed to see if they have a demo one to try.9lits of fuel should give around 3hrs .if they do thats pretty good.wonder what the warranty is.or will i be the first to maybe buy one then wacth every one laugh if it falls to bits///but u never know it might be ok im thinking on it///
  8. i went and had a look at the helmut.one word crap//it wont be on my head looks nice but thats it.ive had a few head hits flying on the hills .woudlnt trust lidil helmut..u get what u pay for////
  9. they dont start the promo till monday here in worcs.helmut looks better than my piss pot .getting one plus watch on monday .the watch will be handy for the compass if it is accurate.
  10. posted a nice cloud pic in jocks pic gallery.is this what clouds think of us///
  11. whats ur all up weight slim and what do u weight naked.im thinking of putting a spare rad motor in a frame.running up a hill to take of thats a new one///
  12. well if u dont take the advice that the other chaps on the forum r giving u to why u need 100 hrs plus.go and watch tandum free flying landings. a lot land on there backsides due to the speed at which they land at esp in light winds.any brezze will drag the pilot and pass/.u will see people ready to help the pilot as he lands in a brezze.they grab the brakes and run to deflate the wing to stop them getting dragged.now add the weight of a motor and u can see why u would want a pro/doing the flying.i have had a lot of tandum flights and u dont bounce to good on a bad landing.tandums with ppg i think r best done with wheels.i woulnt do tandum on a ppg unless i saw the pilot do lots of landings with someone else first//to control a tandum wing takes a long time to master in any sort of brezze.think about the person u want to take up .ur landings must be perfect u wont run of a fast landing with a passenger////
  13. frazer mosquito a10 prone flphg neil was flying the doodlebug .u where thinking of one a while back,im thinking of selling either the doodlebugbug or mozzie unit as i have one of each also got a avain rio hg ////was going to sell or swap for ppg///
  14. IT WAS BLOWING FAR TO MUCH TO FLY THE GLIDER WAS TRYING TO TAKE OF BEFORE HE GOT READY HE WAS IN STALL MODE MUCH OF THE FLIGHT.THE REASON HE HAD NO HELMUT HE LOST IT IN AN EARLIER CRASH.HE HAD JUST PASSED HIS EP ON HG AND WAS NOT CP .U WILL BE GLAD TO KNOW HE HAS PACKED THE DOODLEBUG AWAY TILL HE LEARNS TO FLY THE HANG GLIDER FIRST.HE GOT SLATED BIG TIME ON THE FLPHG SITE.HE WAS VERY LUCKY FLYING A HG A IS COMPLETLY DIRFFERENT TO PPG//FRAZER R U STILL AFTER A MOZZIE POWER UNIT//
  15. phil what ever hand u use to throw the reserve.ie if u r right handed put the bridle up the right hand side of harness.u dont want to throw a reserve to the right if u have it threaded up the left side .it could inflate and take ur head off,always thread a reserve on the side u would throw it///that is the advice of a pro/reserve packer and 20 years skydiving exp/gave me and when u think about it it makes sence///
  16. hi steve yes will have it of u heres my email jock1geo@hotmail.com.we can meet at corley serv/m6 cheers jock///
  17. the best wings for power r discovery195. and target 16. and airwave pulse. to begin with..discoverys go for 400-700..target 600-1000.pusle 500-800
  18. the calypso is a good first glider but unless u change all of the rigging wires u cant use it with power.u would be looking at around £400 to change them.u need a discovery 195 the keel will be shortened already and no need to change the rigging wires the perfect first floater for flphg.i had a calypso and was thinking of useing it but the cost of changing the rigging was more than the glider is worth..flying with power is very different to free flight,go on to the flphg forum u will get all the help and info u need .ref what glider etc.putting ur legs over the bar on the doodlebug is easy.it is the t.o and landing u must master. i wouldnt sell my mozzie for less than £900 i have twin tanks/spare skids etc.iwould sugest u have some power training or u might be in for a shock.flylight.or lightflight r worth ringing,,cheers//
  19. look on skyads for flphg depends if u want prone or doodlebug the cheapest one is a booster then early mozzies upmarket is the wasp.i have a mozzie a10 with twin tanks,spare skids etc.what wing r u thinking of useing.....
  20. the wing is a up soul plus up harness.to post wing is £24 next day del with royal mail, will be more with harness,im in worcester it would be cheaper for u to pick it up not that far from hertford give me a ring 07963718675 or pick a day the wind is light and i will fly it for u..but as i said im selling it as a ground handling wing only....
  21. its worth 100 with out harnes, its i dont need the harness so was chucking it in anyway.i have used the wing on the malverns recently but im selling it as a ground wing.still good for low hops...
  22. i have a ground handling wing and harness make up £100 if u want 07963718675
  23. could be ur lucky day cors-air m21y low hang points electric start in flight chargeing s/s cage frame.mint/con give me a ring only looking 1800.00 total bargain need new hg for flphg..give me a ring 07963718675
