Thanks David, no offence taken what-so-ever. If anything, i'm happy you like them I'll put up some words up with the pics. They are only a few to be honest, when I get around to sorting through the 1000's I have, the gallery will grow. The site is ok, but like I said I did it literally overnight as a test so needs lots of work. Unfortunately, It does much more good for all the sites I link to than they do for me Ben

I'm just giving it a go really, my first real try at SEO. Google's not indexed it yet so we can only wait and see. It's more of an experiment really. To be honest, I just chucked the site together overnight so still got lots to do on it. But realistically, I don't have the time I just figured my weird and wonderful hobbies and interests might spark some extra pocket money each month without having to do very much! Simon, your site pops up everywhere I look so you're doing a bloody good job

My renewal just came through...cheque signed and sent off. Great paramotor magazine with amazing pictures and super articles. I've actually signed up for 2 years Ben

It's in storage at the moment but I had it out and flew it a few months back. Material in good condition, no leading edge damage. 1 small 'bramble' patch job. Only been used for free flight, no paramotor. I'll try and dig it out and give some more info. Bought a new wing Ben? Yep, well a year ago. Only just got around to thinking about selling. Not been doing much flying full stop lately - damn weather. Can't even remember when I even logged in here last - too long. All good your end Dave? Ben

I have broken my screen 2 times now - even in cases. Not happy. Lucky I can fix/replace myself. So, if anybody needs their iphone screen and digitiser replacing - I do it for £60 normally (lots cheaper than majority of places - apple out of warranty £120) but will do it for anybody here for £50. Ben

Hi guys, i have a large swing arcus for sale if anybody is interested. I think I paid £300 2 years back so offers would be good. Ta - contact on here or on my site in signature. Might even be a pic on my site, i'll go see. Ben

I've got some HanWags - great support if a little hard to come by. I use them hiking and climbing too - but they are a tad heavy for constant use really. Ben

iPhone here too... (and I have the SDK downloaded so learning the language to make apps myself.....GEEEEEK)

I could be wrong but I think the vertex and yaesu are the same thing?!? I know my Yaesu VX7R changed to saying VERTEX after the solder mod. Ben

Wow, sounds great up until the end bit mate. But even then I think 'Disaster' is too strong a word really. You came out of it unscathed. So you broke a prop and cuts some lines...you are here to tell the wonderful tale of your muchos biggos XC. Plus, you still seem full of it so couldn't have been that bad when you think about it Reading things like this makes me want to trade everything I own and get a motor on my back pronto I want to fly from here (just outside Luton) to Brighton one day, landon the beach - some fishy chippys and train home (or if the wind god turns around, fly back) Well done matey - inspirational indeed. Ben

Hi guys, Looking for a reserve for an upcoming trip to Bossano. No motor, just free flight. I am 70Kgs in my socks, coming up to 76KGish with harness and toys. Cheers, Ben

Well the reason I went for this radio is I figured anybody flying will either have PMR or 2m (and rarely AM but maybe on occassion). The VX7R lets me listen top both PMR and 2m at the same time. I just saw it as one less bit of kit to carry around. As we don't have a standard, some people use PMr, some 2M. I couldn't be arsed carrying both around and swapping depending on the day. Then you always have the possibilty of people using both types on the same day. Plus the VX7R is submersible, fairly small form factor and I live literally on the end of Luton runway so like to hear the chatter Alan, the problem with PMR is something to do with ctcss codes i think. I've tried everything but can only recieve, not transmit Ben

I just followed something like this: http://www.halfzware.com/wordpress/2006 ... vx-7r-mods Google criteria was VX7R mod...

Ok I see. I just did the solder mod, no pyhsical PCB modification at all. Although I still can't get it to TX/RX on PMR. It only recieves. Arghhh. The radio does far too much, it is way above my head. I just want to poke in the frquency and talk

Hi Alan, I am techie, but not in the radio arena unfortunately so all that makes no sense to me. But I am impressed it does to you My VX7R has been modified (available from a simple googly woogly) to TX on AM. I have successfully conversed with other airband radios with no problem (also marine, 2m and PMR [ish - having a stepping issue]). However, when I read other forums (radio specific) they mention that it is not transmitting on a true AM frequency? Does that agree with your fandangled stuff above? Cheers
