Super easy to read doc and really clear.

I have one and like it. It folds super small and seems quite stable with my old GoPro 4 Dave

Update to the code to display altitude in Ft and Meters. I also added a basic VSI that is . M/s but not yet calibrated. I will see how sensitive it is and adjust once its been flown.

Minor update to a case that is easier to print with FDM, this has less detail but is a stronger case and easier to assemble as lid is M3 screws. Also looking to add the Adafruit compass as probably heading is more useful than temperate. Temp is also in the case so not so useful.

For fun I built an Arduino based altimeter. Its fairly easy if you can manage a soldering iron and have a friend with a 3D printer The code is also very basic and I´m sure someone could make a nicer display but I wanted: Pressure Altitude sea level Altitude relative to start of flight (starts at zero) Altitude up or down Temp I used a nice small display and it all runs off a 9V rechargeable battery. The case needs work but function I´m happy with. Its about 60 x 70 x 25 so quite small with a 1.7" display. Parts: Arduino mini pro (3 GBP Amazon) Adafruit DPS310 6.6 GBP Adafruit 1.69 Screen 15.5 GBP (probably you could go cheaper here but its a nice display) Switch 9V rechargeable battery Few wires and a 3D printed case.

Hi Chaps I'm Dave and a pilot of a few years just arrived in Blighty from Germany and looking to get in some hours. I'm based near Oxford so fairly close and hope it will be possible to join you in the near future for some flying. I'm flying a Parajet V3/Moster 185 on a BGD Wasp wing, stable but like me a bit slow. Please let me know if you plan to get together for some aerial antics, I'm mostly looking to get in some longer non aero type flights. All the best Dave

Good luck, I will be back in Oxford from August so lets see if we can fly together. Dave

I did and fairly sure i got it from Parajet. I now also hold a spare in my kit box along with pipe. Dave

Tony im back in Munich now till March but will be back in time for the Cornwall run so looking forward to seeing you again for a fly. Maybe I´ll christen a new wing at the event Looking at the BGD Luna 2 as will hand my Wasp to my son and been super happy with my BGD. Dave

I can also recommend Davidstow as a most beautiful place to fly. Paramotor membership is very good value and even as a backup membership opens a lot of great potential flights. And the chaps there are friendly and almost as soon as your aloft you get to see the north coast!

Same in O,Ford after a week of shaking all the leaves down

Next weather window perfectly timed to hit the new Covid lock down I guess probability of flying again this year is now over. Lets hope the Covid fuse works. Dave

Managed a fly today. Fairly windy and hit some rotor off the bouncy hedge on final but no real problems, on my feet just could have been cleaner. Now waiting on a delivery of Motol 800
