    Come to Membury, and train with Simon . For £2000 I will personally make you coffee all day, fold up your wing at the end of the day. Service your car. Do your homework and paint your house.

    Forget the reserve for now, you won't be flying in conditions that might require it. And it's just added weight and complexity.

    Your helmet is a personal taste/ cost thing. But you want good protection from behind so no pushbike lids.

    Legally you need some form of altimeter. And an up to date air chart of your local area. Strong boots and a flying suit. And finally gloves that have "feel" to them.

    Outcast (Dave) will know the fuel figures and tank size.

    The motor has aprox 80 hours on it as of 4 years ago, We changed the main bearings after a full strip down. started it up and the exhaust fell to bits. it's sat dormant ever since. In the last couple of weeks I've sourced an exhaust, replaced the pull start, removed the tank, carb, and fuel lines cleaned and replaced. Just need to tune it up now.

    The cage has 2 areas of weld, apparently due to vibration not crashing and one of the rubber engine mounts will need replacing for piece of mind. The prop has a small dink that's been repaired with epoxy, and at some point the prop bolts have been over tightened and squashed the prop hub 2mm ( not really an issue, just to be honest )

    Your lucky being light as there are Plenty of motors to suit your weight range out there at the same sort of money.

    Fuel Degradation

    in Paramotors.

    Posted

    After a few hours of intense research and the the like a conclusion had been drawn .

    If we use the fuel as intended and spend more time flying than pondering on the qualities of the slowly degrading fuel there will be no issues.

    The question still remains, is it to early to eat last nights remaining curry. It has been in the fridge all night, but I failed to put a cover over it.
