    Hi Abaatabit

    This is everyone's nightmare, what we're the circumstances of the theft of your motor, and as we all know, insurance is all most impossible, your motor will have an engine number for sure, Hope some how you get your motor back. Best of luck.

    Not my motor Geoff - it was stolen from a paramotor training field in Essex

    The Revolution is the new dual start (pull and electric) motor from Air Conception and only a very few in the country so far

    Has anyone heard of Nitro 200 broken crankshaft ?

    I have just changed the small ribbed crankshaft pulley on mine and it's a tight bugger to get the pulley off

    I even messaged Laurent in France how to do it as Alex is away at the moment

    My method was to tighten a bearing seperator onto the middle of the pulley and then attached a two leg gear puller to the bearing seperator and applied a lot of pulling tension

    I then heated the small pulley with a hot air gun for a good 10 minutes

    Whilst it was all very hot I then gave the gear puller tension screw bolt head a good tap with a hammer and the pulley pinged off the taper

    I'm now awaiting a M10 x 1.0mm thread die to tidy up the threads on the crankshaft as the nut hot a bit chewed

    Hope that helps

    Mine is an unclutched one - there is a good YouTube video on removing the clutched version

    I think a week delay is pointless but may be no more or less sensible than a month - in truth I have no idea what will actually happen now regards restrictions being lifted

    Unfortunately I have no confidence in anything Boris says anymore

    Any later than August and I doubt the days will be long enough to justify a six hour drive each way for me

    EC rebate

    I've bought the Pilotaware Rosetta with £163 rebate approved by the CAA

    I bought it because I think we will be forced to get something because of changes like the impending drone corridor down the M4

    I think the power of Amazon and delivery companies will outweigh anything our small community can do

    If we have to have something I'd rather have it at half price

    I've found that the  Rosetta and its power supply power bank fits neatly into a Gin radio holder

    I'll post photos if I can work out how to do so

    Your best flight/place to fly

    Sunday morning  flight at Borechasers last April down to the two Severn bridges then back up the Wye valley before coming in and a tiptoe landing

    It was my longest flight to date

    As I sat with a brew afterwards watching all the happy smiling faces, the gentle friendliness and sheer pleasure of like minded people I realised it literally cant get better than that

    Some trade stands shouldn't be a problem

    As in all things it's to what degree - a few is no issue,bliads if stands would turn into a trade show

    I'm happy you'll judge the right amount to preserve the spirit of the weekend
