very sad , he flew with me in poole a couple of years ago

Another option is a "chase cam " if you google it .

you can make it yourself,its basicaly a length of cord attached to your wing with your gopro attached to a plastic bottle to steady it all.

I had exactly the same problem on mine ,turned out to be one of the clutch springs had snapped ,ordered the parts from sky dragons ,dont think they are in business anymore so youll have to search for a pap dealer,I did the job myself just needs a bit of muscle to fit the spring.

yep saw that too ...battery is on charge now !

I always use about 1/3 power for a forward launch in nil wind ...it works 95% of the time for me now, I always struggled with wing hanging back too ,like previously mentioned more pressure for longer on the As

Im on a revo 1 ,been flying for two years ,170 flights ..just looking to change to a wing which is a bit more fun ,faster turning etc

Hi all ,im considering my next wing now, either a nucleon or a speedster ,both I believe have split A risers ,just wondering how those that have these launch their wing ,as in do you hold both parts of the split A,s or just the A,s that go to the center part of the wing ...many thanks MARK

ditto simons warm up technique ,im exactly the same, warm up on tickover for a minute or two then a quick blast into the power band for a few seconds ,always worked for me

Hands up if you flew tonight !! I did a 3000ft epic glide all the way down

Why dont you fire the motor up and youll get there in 30 seconds !!

Im sure most of us ,at sometime or another,including me ,have "gone for it" when its boarder line and wish we hadnt once we were up in the sky !

Got a flight in last night ,amazingly smooth ,just leaving now for hopefully more of the same

Hi rob its mark ! well done ,I said you would crack it this year

Hi rob,yes whenever its boarder line forward/reverse ,I always go forward usually the wing snaps straight up ,but as said youve got to be carefull you dont get pulled onto your back ,I generally keep an eye on the windsock and pick my moment

Yes ,I had trouble getting into the seat also for my first couple of flights,I found experimenting with shoulder and especially leg strap adjustment worked wonders ,I tighten my leg straps just enough so I can just push my hand in,now when I take off im into the seat instantly with no effort,my motor is a parajet compact 2 with the lightweight harness

Parajet should give you an excellent lipo charger as part of the sale as they did me just a few months ago ,dont use an optimate, you need a specific lipo charger which balances the cells aswell,I dont bother to disconnect my battery when not in use ,just make sure you turn off the main isolation switch which will be on the chassis somewhere.

Just had a look on parajets website and it seems that they are now NOT offering the xt motor for the volution range

Gopro hd 2 for me...awesome quality and lots of mounting options

If your motor is electric start make sure your battery is fuly charged the night before, cold weather starts can sap a batterys power

I wasnt even aware that the timing was adjustable or able to go out of adjustment,im aware that you can adjust the ignition gap by adjusting it on the two bolts ..the gap should be about the thickness of a piece of paper ...but ignition timing ?...would be interested how this is adjusted too ! ......

Hi all ,im looking to insure my paramotor against theft from my home,just wondering how many of you have this and if so who do you go with ,I tried the usual "go compare" contents insurance but they dont seem to specify single item sporting equipment ...many thanks mark .

Friends my name is Ricardo morales and buy a brand para-motor: DK Wihsper but I need to know where I can find replacement parts, if someone contact me I am Chile my email is ricardoagustinm@gmail.com

Thank you....translated for everybody by mark

Hi all ,im thinking about a new volution 2 compact ,anybody got one ,reviews ,teething troubles etc ..thanks in advance mark.
