  1. a link it is then! Thanks Simon, but im not sure that i wouldnt make a mess of it!
  2. Hi, does anyone know where i can get my wing sign written?
  3. hi Jonny, there is two of us in Rugby now - both using different fields! we are on coventry side
  4. see, now there is a good idea! one of many uses!!! (what if i find its my wife??)
  5. i have a rather nifty pair of night vision goggles, hmmm now what could i use them for??
  6. i fly with what you are after...... I started with an analogue dial fitted to my harness, then after a lot of research found the View-x sold via Fresh Breeze (Piers Dent), it does EGT,RPM & Hours for about £180 http://www.fresh-breeze.de/en/products/ ... ehoer.html
  7. I guess your not the best person to ask about economy then SW lol, errr nope!
  8. a bit late, but....... i now have a suunto x10 - great bit of kit, but maybe out of your budget? but before that i had the perfect solution (for me anyway!) in the garmin geko - it has a configurable screen to select the parameters that you want to display (speed, height, heading etc) AND it starts automatically when you start moving! how good is that if you have failed launches and forget to reset, lol to top it off you can download straight onto google earth (or is that my x10 which definitely can) so that you can see your track - which by the way is good to keep incase you are reported for being somewhere that you shouldnt (ie built up area)
  9. i have a fresh breeze monster and it comes with a kick in strap as standard, look it up on the net - i find it hard without the strap, but my last 2 motors were easy without it....
  10. blimey thats good! thanks for the swift reply!
  11. Hi, sorry, i know that its been brought up before, but i cant find it....... Where do i go for insurance now?

    Insurance

    Hello, what is the state of play with paramotor insurance now? i need it to fly in at a local airfield but dont know where to get it from....
  13. james, there is a nice strip and a friendly owner at pitsford, right near you. Im in rugby when you want to do a xc
  14. i just looked at colchester barracks on google maps, if it was me i would find another site as its too central to the town, more chance of being reported / bad press, especially if anything falls off! and strickly speaking its all a built up area
  15. show us a link to it on google earth or maps, you shouldn,t fly over buildings (a collection of), but if you are taking off or landing......... if its not notified or on an air map then how would you know if you were passing through?? i have a similar situation with a prison, i do a tight turn as soon as im airbourne and keep all flight logs on google earth just incase i ever get pulled
  16. thanks! darth (my wife - the boss) im the stormtrooper Who needs romantic meals and hotels anyway??
  17. How did you spend yours?? This is me and the "boss" at the weekend...
  18. hi, i have a fresh breeze with comfort bar, the fresh breeze is a fantastic motor with excellent support, i will never buy anything else....

    Ipad

    i give up, surfing and consuming media is what the masses do on a PC, hence the market for the iPad, but your are right and i am wrong, your superior knowledge wins over (even though you dont own one)
  20. i had the same problem, and i will always tell everyone who with - walkerjet - 3 months and threats of court action for parts, the the issues over waranty (yeah right, what waranty), that way hopefully they will go under and the better manufacturers will survive However After asking around i eventually bought a nice new Fresh Breeze Monster, and i have to say that Piers (fresh breeze dealer in uk) has been fantastic, the motor is reliable (touch wood) and i do not have to worry about it, any parts sent have arrived the same week (i had an issue with the silencer wrap and was sent silicone sealer and tape the same day, and didnt expect it) i had a spring come loose in the started and recieved a new one the same week - all i asked was how to get it back in. So i would say that not all dealers are the same, however there are some bad ones out there i did ask for a rating page so that we could rate our experiences with each dealer but it seems that its not workable, we do need something to make them accountable
  21. for what motor? i have a simo prop if you need it?
  22. 20 miles by air........ circle, low pass, then home.......
  23. ha, bloody ha!! Im planning on flying over tonight (friday) might land, might not........ (depends if i feel up to falling on my face/arse in public) then drive over tomorrow as i dont like flying in thermals (i havent done it yet!)
