  1. Great to see all the paramotoring .org  "die hards "  at the seven bore , brilliant days flyin on Friday I think everyone made the most of it pilots where landing refuelling and taking off again,  It just goes to show how much this means to the club members,we new that Friday was possibly the only day for flying , I only had a travel  time of about  one hour, and other pilots had  traveling times of over three hours,and still made the trip, just shows how much we love paramotoring ,Saturday mornings was still in the flight window for some pilots and they were up again, mid Saturday and it started to rain a little and I must say that was the green light for me to leave, may I take this opportunity to thank the four wheel drive guys, for towing me out of the field, brilliant ,better than sitting in front of the TV .thanks Simon and all the team.  Geoffw    ps  sorry Simon still owe you a pint,I did try mate!!!!!!

  2. Had my training with sky school over  ten years ago ,one week in mere and one week in Spain, weather was brilliant in mere and in Spain and a great deal of time in the class room so much so I thought why are we not out in the field flying when the sun is shining, but as mentioned above its all  about making the right decisions to keep yourself safe, yes you need the skills to fly. But  knowing what to do and when to do it is far more important ,clippings in and checking your kit ,and that is first learnt in the class room ,when to fly and when to stay on the ground.70 percent is ground school, 30 percent flying. Once your flying with all that schooling, you can go to the field and fly safely. Then you can get yourself 100 percent flying, but never put the cart before the horse, start your training in the uk, then think about flight time in Spain . Just my thoughts worked for me.

  3. Hi am I missing some thing I don't mind,, just get a motor with electric start, one of the reasons I have a air conception nitro 200  and the other is the weight  just press the green button. Ps had a parajet v1with electric start and parajet could not convince me that I don't need one...both motor always started  1st time.     O yes you must blow down the primer pipe until the fuel gets to the carb.job done.

  5. Where to start fantastic location right in the middle of Cornwall, nice and easy to get there, every thing was set for a great weekend of pmc activities meeting up with friends and talking all things paramotoring,  but the weather was not going to allow us to fly , a shame because you could see the amazing views waiting to be explored, hope we will be able to fly from there next time, many thanks to Simon and the team .

  7. That's it.   Hi  Just to let you all know ,,Jamaica inn, don't miss it ,,  Also you can now fly to The Engine House at Compton park Callington  , about  4/5 miles from pmc fly-in  situated 6 miles from the lovely  tamar valley sould be some brillant flying.  "check it out" again great food with brillant service,  you" CANNOT" land on the campsite or car park. Your landing field is right  next door John and sue who owns the field/farm  are going to cut the field in the next few days again looks brilliant place for a flying visit. Got to say Cornish people are so nice and helpful,  just a few phone calls and all sorted. just trying to sort out a petrol station now. There's one on the A38 landing field next door just waiting for confirmation from land owner. Plus a restaurant.,,,,,!!!! Ps remember don't eat to much you have to take off later.   Geoffw
