  1. Do you have a reserve mounted on the left swing arm by any chance, or are you a lighter framed gentleman? Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app
  2. Both, if I remember correctly the holes are drilled at an angle so have to be attacked at both ends. Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app
  3. Yes But the barrel was off at the time, It's actually just a hole that can be cleaned out with carb cleaner and a bit of locking wire. Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app
  4. Hi del, Could you explain how aluminium tubes can possibly form a crumple zone on a Paramotor ? Cheers Colin Dear colin Aluminum is actually the best material for a crumple zone as it crushes extremely well to absorb impact. The gas tank just moves up out of the way. Look at the picture on U-Turn USA and you can see a Flat Top that I stalled into the ground on a 19sm uncertified acro glider. I used the entire crumple zone and walked away without a scratch. The gas tank was completely unharmed as well which you can see clearly in the picture. The Flat Top saves lives. Tons of them. We all crash at some point if you fly long enough. Without that crumple zone I would be dead 10 times over. - superdell Enough of this nay-saying about crumple zones. Be gone with your technical babble. Dell says they are ok Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app

  9. Stubble will only poke holes in wings if you help it , ie kneeling on your wing while folding / stuffing it away Same as fields with flint in, just be careful. Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app
  10. Put them in a little box labeled "broken springs" Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app
  11. Fuel starvation Cos you've messed with the metering lever Would you like to borrow a pop off gauge while your at it? Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app
  12. The red wings are better Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app
  13. Yup, completely remove from the fuel line Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app
  14. To reduce restriction in primer bulb..... Remove from fuel line Carefully disassemble, labelling all relevant parts. a sharp blade may be required to remove the valves. Clean thoroughly, wrap the various bits in a plastic bag. And then lob the lot in the bin [sMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app
  15. First thing is to fit the carb service kit, the bubbles are probably a result of a defective flap valve or dirty / worn needle valve. Secondly if your carb has a choke why Do you need a primer bulb? A healthy carb will not allow fuel / air to flow back to the tank. Primer bulbs will also restrict fuel flow at low revs, another cause of rough erratic idling . If you do need to prime the carb after a service or long time without use try blowing into the breather pipe while depressing the diaphragm button / hole on the carb Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app
  16. That's easy , Parajet compact . Must be some of those about Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app

  18. Check the engine mounting plate is straight After a few Bum landings Most have a bend in the plate just above the battery tray.
  19. Assembled Volution compact fits upright in the back of a Mitsubishi shogun swb/lwb perfectly. Or if Van proportions are required with "Luxury" car comforts, I favor the Mercedes V220.
  20. More than likely Civilian pilots who work at Filton. And If you have permission from Air traffic, (Its not impossible) game on A couple of years ago, there was a witch hunt for a guy who recklessly flew low level into RAF Brize Nortons airspace and foolishly buzzed the tower. Bringing the full wrath of the the MOD and the CAA upon us all. That was until it transpired he had permission, so that's OK then.
  21. Free post and packaging? Hope it goes for more than £20
  22. Possibly a WG8 ? If you need to start on part throttle it sounds like your low jet is blocked/restricted. And unless your using old cooking oil you wont have a problem with oil residue. Just usual build up of dirt and debris after time. Can be cleaned quite quickly with spray intake cleaner. Just don't forget to make a note of the low setting before removing the needle As for not using the choke? its a far more measured device for delivering a higher fuel/air ratio than squeezing a primer bubble and poking sticks at a thin rubber membrane
