outkast

must be the way you are using it Mark, I have not heard anywhere of anyone having any overheating issues with the moster, now the polimi 200, theres another conversation entirely

paramotor take off, his right you know, It did take off, who would have thunk it? got any other ground breaking revelations for us Tony?

its moster powered, you need not worry about tempreture, K.I.S.S

there is secret underbelly of the paramotor communitythat only those in the know will ever witness, sometimes it gets messy, very messy LOL

that must have some thrust to have towed that people carrier to the site

Cant say I have noticed any mention of one lol

I would think strongly about the air conception http://www.custom-air.co.uk/Custom_Air_ ... motor.html one of my flying buds Stu has recently gone from a pap ros to one of these and I have to say I am very impressed with it, its light, very strong and with the moster engine he has in it its got bags of power, so much so he was able to fly tandem with his dad recently.

Neil the nuc has a stitched mark on the trimmers for launch, its out 2, 99% of the time I launch with the trimmers in that position, they like to be snatched of the ground two, just as it rises and is inline with the thrust of my motor I give it a little blip of throttle wich helps it pop up, they do like to keep moving on launch so once above you get running. check out my steering the nuc around ahay bale last night lol https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10 ... =2&theater

I don't buy the argument for not listening to someones advice just because they sell a certain brand, don't dismiss advice from a dealer just because you think he may be on the make. entry level reflex wings (revo2/ synth etc) have been around long enough now to be able to form an opinion on them from pilots that have flown them for some time, when deciding on a wing you need to think about the type of flying you are aiming for and if like some people you pick things up quick and will progress rapidly, is your eventual goal to compete or just be casual flyer? are you interested in just a little bimble around the skies every so often or are you going to be throwing yourself into this sport and spreading your wings on big XCs? Reflex wings with a good speed range are ideal for all round flying, you may fly around most of the time in take off trim and be perfectly happy with that, but if the wind gets up while you are aloft you could find yourself struggling to make progress and its handy to be able to open the trimmers and jog along nicely. also after your training has finished you may go off and find some flyers local to you who are all on reflex wings, flying with them will be no fun if you are always getting left behind and watching the windsock. as for the two wings I mentioned, the REvo2 is proberly a bit more sporty and easier to launch, but the synth is a good solid wing too, and its dudek so its made well, both a pretty forgiving and wont get you in too much trouble should you be a bit heavy handed with them.

Neil don't do it, I found the nuc takes a bit of getting used to, especially the launch, I thought I would never get the thing off the ground, however at some point it will just click and you wont look back, , its proberly the best intermediate all rounder out there, stick with it mate and just get down the field more often. you wont regret it Dave.

whos Winston?

park the brakes, let the trimmers on one side out half way between where they are and full, then the other side the same, then the first one all the way then the second all the way, don't be too afraid of using the brakes with some trim out, on my Nuc I tend to put the trimmers out to about 7 for normal buzzing around and still use the brakes, if I let them out all the way I will only use the tip steering, if you aint got tip steering on your wing just reach up and grab the outer (stabile) line. pulling the trimmers back in is the reverse of the above. if you are looking to start using your wings performance more you mite want to start landing with different trim settings also. above all else, have fun! Dave.

I did my ground handling with Nick at westmill some years back, there were a couple of others there, I remember one chap called Frazer, Nick does not use westmill anymore I don't think, he flys occasionaly from a place in bennington, only person I can recommend in the area is Alex over at Rayne.

Was it with a chap called Nick wood ?

where abouts in ware did you train Alex?

theres a few of us flying in Hertfordshire but I don't know any place to get a tandem flight.

Clive freeman has used one in anger [youtubevideo]https://www.youtube.com/user/clive100freeman?feature=watch[/youtubevideo]

was just leaving potters bar to go down to Stus for a fly and spotted someone flying over the M25, red and white wing, anyone from on here?

to be honest if I was going to recommend anyone within a reasonable distance from you it would be Alex at rayne near brentwood, hes a great bloke and a top instructor.

yes only applied to use it for aviation again so he could fly his own microlight from there, however the neirhbour he had the dispute with told the whole village he wanted to turn it into a commercial airfield the size of biggin hill, he has spent the last year or so try to convince the locals this is not the case.

I am in potters bar, the owner of the airfield has had an on going dispute with one of the neibouring properties regarding access to the airfield, this has led to a smear campaign being waged against him in the village, he applied for planning permission to use the airfield for aviation again and has been waiting for the result of his application for some time, that's why no flying or any other activity has been held there as he does not want to rock the boat with the people of the village and have his application turned down.

your in luck, I have been indiscussion with the owner of bovingdon airfield he has agreed in principal to me flying from there, he has had some problems with the council, recently but hopes they will be resolved soon, if all goes well you may have a flying field right on your doorstep, will keep you informed. Dave

Excelent, cant wait to hear how it flys, whats the weight of it?
