Very funny especially the liver one, anyway Simon forget the pending tv program there is now something far more prestigious yes its a scoop unless someone else has seen this because you have now made it to the big screen.

Yes Simon, we went to see the new harry Potter film and you appeared n a trailer before the film started so next time i order something from the shop just pop a signed picture in with the goods just in case your tv/film career takes off pardon the pun cheers Alan

Dont you worry about the number crunching Alan. That Fusion's got a lovely glide. Just fly it and enjoy !

Dave

Thanks Dave i did my first xc flight with it last time over Hornsea on the east coast of Yorkshire and although it was early afternoon and very thermic it seemed as stable as my Synthesis wing.

Tried for a early evening flight and disaster struck i got the bottom of my foot caught in my foot stirrup that i use to get in my seat and ended up hopping on one foot trying to cut the engine and falling on to my knee and breaking a propeller some thing you will not know about i hasten to add, they do look good those flat tops, Alan.

My head hurts now so im off to bed lol let me know the outcome but in simple terms please over a bottle of rum.

I have to say it almost looks like you know what your doing there Mark but it does not beat my foot caught in my foot stirrup and hop on one foot until fall over break my prop reverse launch technique.

Now wait for the negative comments!!

It sounds a fun idea tho!

What? You mean like;

"He's NOT the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy"?

Phil P likes Monty Python nice one

Hi Alan,

If you are down at Leven one evening next week or next weekend or when ever I would love to catch up over a coffee and have a chat and learn more.

Fanman,

Your right i have just checked the date, but the strange thing is this thread appeared in my posts since last visit, i will check the dates next time, Alan

Wrong again never lol say sorry Alan

ARRRRH OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTSPAN

Just of late something really strange has been occurring at our club a certain CFI of ours who is always wrong and i mean wrong, very wrong in fact he could not be more wrong if he was perched at the top of a 500ft wrong tree and fell and hit every wrong branch on the way down that would put into perspective of how wrong he is, has started to be right.

You can imagine how smug he now is and when i say smug he's very smug, so smug i am now planning on punishing him i thought of holding his head in the propeller but decided that with all the advancement on forensic technology and crime scene detection and the fact that 8 pints of blood would be soaked into my clothing and skin, I may be rumbled.

Maybe i could slow his paramotor down but its an HE 120 and if it goes any slower he would not take off so i put it to the forum how can i restore normality at our once peaceful and tranquil club (and my sanity)

All replies to Broad moor club care of Alan.

Fanman,

Your right i have just checked the date, but the strange thing is this thread appeared in my posts since last visit, i will check the dates next time, Alan

Seriously Simon

Are you delusional if i had just won the lottery i would want to live long enough to spend some of that money, you nutter, lol, Alan.

Hmmnnn... a lot of suppositions there Welder. I tend to be wary of those who shout loudest

Strange I thought the whole idea of a forum was to talk/exchange views, I particularly enjoyed Simon's point made me laugh out load and we need people who are clued up street wise etc to extract information and from that we can make better/wiser decisions.

Thank god for forums and please remember SHOUT OUT LOUD, Alan.

Cheers Steve,

That sounds great, I have just changed my wing so i need to do some good cross country trips I will keep in touch. Incidentally we met a couple of paramotorists from the south bank and although i have not flown with them yet my mate Mark has on a couple of occasions, Alan.

Hello there,

I fly a parajet Makro and i am chuffed to bits with it superb build quality mine has not missed a beat, as for fuel consumption i would go with 3 to 5 litres an hour depending on trim and the amount of climbing you do.

If you are staying at a certain height you can back the throttle to about a third and get better fuel consumption, I must admit the flat top has caught my eye due to the impressive safety record and ability to not damage props so i would not discount them. Hope this helps, Alan.

Hello fellow Paramotorists,

We fly from a small airfield near Leven in East Yorkshire called the Hull aero club, who incidentally have made us very welcome and i was wondering if there are any other paramotorists flying in the region and where.

Cheers Alan.

will so "get" this song

Dave

Anything with a pulse Dave, apart from Jordan who i would not climb over you to get to her.

Simon,

Your just showing off now I bet you have got one of those super Fusion wings as well(drat I'm just jealous) lol Alan.

Hello Geoff,

I could not agree with you more, I too own a Parajet and I am so pleased with the build and performance of their paramotors.

Couple this with the excellent back up service I dont think you could buy with more confidence.

Also call me old fashioned but we should be supporting British companies who are prepared to put their necks on the line otherwise all our manufacturing companies in this country will disappear like our car industry has.

Its just a big bonus for us that Parajet paramotors are to coin a phrase "probably one of the best" rather than the best as there is a lot of makes out there (so really not coining a phrase), starting to waffle now so i had better finish, suffice to say buy the best and buy British if possible I did and now I look down on the rest (think I got away with the ending), Alan.

Yes i have finished.

just wonderin it might be worth a read http://www.xplorer.co.za/articles/washing.htm

I must admit leo it sounded really good until it got to the part about the wing may distort eek i will give it a miss the mud stains actually compliment the overall aesthetic look of the wing I think now.

Maybe go with pete's idea as the safer option lol

Trevor,

Unfourtunately i will be away on holiday but i thought I would contact you in writing so you can check on the morning of the fly in to LEAVE THAT DRESS AT HOME your name is not Tastey Tina and you must not be on one of your cross dressing days. You have got to admit this was a good idea of mine especially doing this note as a Private Message so as not to cause you any embarresment with the other members, all the best your special friend Alan.

Alan, its the model of bike Yamaha FS1E 50 affectionately known as fizzy or fizzer!

Yes Malcs but the big boys rode the ap50 more power than the average can of ajax(before aforementioned went metric).

Anyway big boys went on to kettles and water bottles oh and than paramotors

kinda reminds me of when I was a teenager riding my fizzy, we used to get right behind buses and big lorries and the slipstream used to sort of pull us along behind it.

Dave.

Bet you had the yellow one and dreamt it was an RD 250 coffin tank with mag wheels didnt you Dave. lol Alan

The trick is take someone who knows when i bought my equipment i did not know any thing about paragliders and paramotors so i got in touch with a local club who offered to come with me and check the equipment.

I now fly with these chaps and would advise you to do the same, also Simon W who runs this forum is a full time paramotor training instructor so if you can not find a local club contact him to advise you on training and equipment.

It would be far better than parting with a lot of money on old wings and unreliable motors as any let down on equipment at the flying field can be very frustrating and potentially dangerous, hope this helps, Alan
