  1. Well here my take on the nitro 200 , owed my nitro 200 for about 4 years, and yes I DID have a problem with it, cylinder lining failed and was unable to get full power, 500 rpm down . Reported the problem to vince at custom air, and with in a few days received all parts required to complete the repair, was invited to send the nitro down to air conceptions but so simple to do,had the parts sent out,think about 45 hours on the clock at the time , but this is the important thing all-out of warranty 2 year six month after purchasing the motor, Air conception have a 2year warranty and they stand by it....no nonsense about did I use the wrong oil or not the right amount ,up to about 85 hours now and running very nicely, having not spent a penny on it in all the time of ownership that's saying something about nitro 200,ps have just received a new belt and starter batteries but not under warranty I might add, Show me a motor that never breaks down, and I will show you my arse in sainsburys Geoffw
  2. What a fantastic pmc flyin, 1st thing thanks to Simon and his team, for planning it all ,the location was great flying up the Avon River and beyond very nice , and the weather was hot .fish and chip, beer tent and bar, burger van, fireworks display was epic, to think we had all those fireworks just for us ,if you know what I mean nice one Simon. And meeting club members and fellow flyers just brilliant .10 out of 10....
  3. The Cornwall flyin will take some beating for the location was perfect, as was the coastal flying amazing. But this place looks pretty good, location by the river, fireworks, beertent ,weather looking OK, yep looking good, see you there geoffw
  4. Just seen this ,great videos Lee and Harry, what a brilliant flyin ,and yes thanks again Simon and to his team,ps must start to take some videos myself.
  5. Simon Would just like to say thanks to you and your teams for a fantastic weekend down in St Agnes, weather started of poor and just go better as the weekend went on, (some pilots flew every day and well done to them) .Not so bad being buy a nice sandy surfing beach though. we did take boards and wet suit, the scenery was fantastic. Cornwall is so beautiful .Nice beer at the bar, and a very nice spicy chicken wrap to, On to Sunday morning what a day, it isn't very often we get perfect I mean perfect flying conditions. And every one made the very best of it, amazing flying up and down the coast, The field was perfect the walking was fantastic, well I think you get the picture 10 out of 10 amazing. Ps so was Alank swimwear
  6. Try custom air they have a huge a mount of spare parts for Air conception nitro 200,not sure if they just sell the valve petals. Give them a call you never know they might. Good luck.
  7. Best paramotoring club in the world, thank God it's in the UK. And Simon your are just fu#king brilliant,
  8. HI Simon We are down in Cornwall with Alank that week, will be there no matter what. You talking fireworks, or see you there ,I STILL owe you a pint mate.
  9. Meet Deano when training in Spain with sky school in 2010, just started in the sport and didn't know who he was at the time ,but he filled me to the top with confidence , and I never forgot what he said , And that he had taken time to talk to me. Think he was testing gear for parajet at the time. Nice Guy . Geoffw
  10. Hi Tony first saw a rotron down at the parajet factory 2010- 2011 sounded fantastic , running so smoothly, and lots of power and I mean lots of power, then not many years later they stop development and production of paramotor engines altogether, parajet just make the frames now ,yeah we all missed out on parajets innovative work on paramotor engines,and that's a shame..
  11. Both very well made and designed machines, with lots of power. finally went for the nitro 200 with electric start and clutch, and must say I have been very pleased with it, there are two main reasons why . one electric start, two the weight , its light, I'm going to say it. Its a game changer. Ps don't underestimate electric start!!!!
  12. Just read about powerlords first flight in months, very well done powerlord. Thinking of having a flight very soon myself, just getting my head back into gear, has anyone fitted cruise control on to a air conception nitro 200 with electric start. thanks for any help. Geoffw
  13. Hi Rockon I have a nitro 200 electric start, clutch and have been very pleased with it, for a simple reason how light it is,full tank of fuel no problem fantastic .
  14. Hi Andy do you use Vince at custom air for spares.
  15. Hi Andy is it possible to fit the new netting to standard nitro frame, and do you need to drill the frame ,have you fitted one photo would be great. Geoff
  16. neilzy will you be wearing your posh boots.
  17. its a lot of sleeps ,a lot ,but what a brilliant thing to look forward to.
  18. Hi Andy, Alan is perfectly correct iam very interested in this fantastic trip sound like a lot of fun,and a lot of flying.let me in on any new updates..
  19. Good morning Tony's,will be down at Davidstow air field for about 10.45 today.  Many thanks geoff Walton. 

  20. Well that's a simple question to answer ,if a manufacturer inadvertently or by design find they have made a wing better in very different ways sometimes they put that into there next wing, and Iam almost certain they are constantly looking at what other manufacturers are up to . Copying most certainly. they have come on a long way ,but there are limits , safety is most important, or should be. just met thoughts
  21. Hi asquaddie all sorted I am now a full member of Davidstow flying club, and will see you down at the field next week, will give you time and date later this week,. Ps Alank is also going to join the club ,and will be coming down next week,thank you for all your help and will see you very soon. Geoffw.     Geoff Walton.

  22. I have a nitro 200 and I love it,one of the most important thing to me was the fact it's so light.starting is easy lots of power , as for vibration never really thought about it, or noticed it that much.but then I haven't flown all the different paramotor out there.one thing I do know it's a great paramotor, and like I said earlier it's so light, just brilliant ..beat that. Just my view..
  23. Just about to become a member of the club myself, remote bring it on, wild camping bring it on. Just what we all need .lets get flyin!!!!!!!
