In short, no, but you are degrading the Aspen with an inferior product and won't benefit from it's properties.

Replied to this on your other post.

Wiggle the joints around as they may not be seated quite right. It happens from time to time. It might take a bit of effort as they're held tight (for obvious reasons) but they do move.

YMMV but I didn't. Yes it's 50:1. I figured it's so clean and developed for professionals everything would be OK. I've used it on three motors from new. Never added extra oil or extra fuel to the mix. Engines may be run-in at 50:1 with differing results. Not all engines are the same. Always read the manufacturer's instructions. Your engine may be at risk if you don't.

+1 for RASP. Very useful for seeing what the projected thermal updraft will be at given times.

Yep, been using it for several years now, in my Atom 80 paramotors and Moster 185 Adam sub-70. Not cheap but cheaper if you buy in 25 litre drums rather than the 5 litre ones. Burns nice and clean, doesn't smell and doesn't gum up the carbs or rot the rubbers. I can leave it in the tank without worrying about degradation (I didn't use my paramotor while getting my NPPL and when I started it, having left it in the garage for a year with fuel in the tank, it fired right up after priming). I reckon its cost is offset by lack of maintenence costs.

Could you fly it? Possibly. Should you fly it? No. It is an advanced wing with dynamic handling. You will at some point come a cropper.

It was removed around about 2010.

No, TP only.

About £500

My settings: 1090ES Transmit: enable Receiver Mode: UAT ICAO Address: your code Callsign: I use my initials and wing size. Means you can track your flight on FlightRadar FLARM ID: blank Ownership Filter: both blank Emitter Category: Glide VFR Squawk: 7000 ADSB In: blank VSO: 15 Aircraft length:L<15m Aircraft width: W<23m Lateral offset: Centre Longitudinal Offset: 0 SDA: 0 Hope this helps

Use this guide for the radio licence. Click to OFCOM In SkyDemon you will need to create a new aircraft and edit the parameters to suit your paramotor. All you really need is cruising speed at one altitude but you can go OTT and change climb and descent and fuel burn if you want as well.

What exactly are you stuck on? The set up is pretty well explained in the manual. Log into the SkyEcho's admin page and change the variables as required. Leave default unless specifically changing something. Of the top of my head you need to change the following : You want transmit enabled, 1090ES receive if you're using it with SkyDemon Put your hex code in the hex spot Call sign is irrelevant as you don't have one but if you're using a radio as well you can put whatever you're using. Squawk is 7000 (conspicuity) Vso is glider stall speed For sizes, keep as small as possible and use Centre for GPS offset. I think that covers most of the configuration options. SkyDemon you need to set up to receive your SkyEcho as it will then use that for location instead of your phone's GPS

The current info from Vittorazi is that their engines are tuned for E5 95RON and use of higher ethanol/lower RON invalidates warranty. Guess the answer is use higher octane fuels with E5, if you want to keep your warranty, until Vittorazi change their tune. link to their website here

Know this is an old thread but while browsing the 'net recently, came across his site, which bears a striking resemblance to this site's name and Simon's business name, along with his "affiliation" to an organisation, which is named very similarly to the BHPA, and claiming all sorts of wonderful things. Also watched some of his "promoted" videos, one of which has a tandem taking off and jumping over a laid out wing. All a bit suss.
