Hi - Im looking for this adapter but unfortunately don't have the resources to make it myself, would anyone know who I can pay to make this for me instead?

Looking great on Sunday - anyone likely to be flying around sussex area as would like to fly with someone else...? Cheers -N

As a casual observer the best videos are those that have the best flying - and morgy wins hands down on that one.

The synth launches better in light conditions when you set the trimmers to 2. Otherwise I find it holds back too much. Cheers Nick

Oh no - tried to start my Fresh Breeze sportix Simonini tonight in prep for a great weekend of flying planned and I cant get the thing to fire up at all...... I flew for 2 hrs last week and it was fine once started (which was really difficult). Now it shows no sign of life no matter how many attempts (arms are killing me - deffo getting leccy start on my next machine) I have looked at the plug and it looks fine and sparks when turned over. Is there anywhere I could take it to get looked at and serviced or would you suggest I try something myself (im in hove). I am not that experienced with engine maintenance but can do basic stuff... Thanks in advance for any help.... Nick

Im 100kg and fly a 34

I suppose it could have been the ALC ball - (synth) pretty sure there was no cravaet etc... thanks for the replies - looks like I'm going to have to fly again to find out.. Ill make sure I've got plenty of right handed landing options...!

its a fresh breeze Simo sportix ... forgot to mention that I noticed a small chip out of the tip of the propeller - could that have caused it?

Went for a really quick flight the other day - turned out to be even shorter than I imagined. As soon as I took off there was a notable turn to the right. My engine torques to the right anyway, but this was much more severe than normal as I was having to apply lots of left brake and weightshift to maintain, and eventually turn left...and back down to land... No noticable problems / knots in the wing, trimmers were equal on each side, no tangles in speedbar or harness etc. I landed without power, but didn't really have enough time to tell if the wing was still turning right - If I had to guess then I would have said it wasn't... The only thing I can think of is that my motor was torquing much harder than usual... has anyone experienced this? and what coul;d be the cause?... Need to give the gear a thorough inspection, but this has worried me slightly..... BTW what is the consesus on the best thing to do in that situation - whilst climbing and noticing a big right turn, should I let it have happened and gone around to the right to land, should I try and maintain course into wind to gain height, or should I have done what I opted for which was to fight a left turn out of it (better for me for keeping over landing space). I am thinking what I did might have induced a stall..... Cheers...all ideas appreciated

another link here... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqj6kz ... mbediframe I work for Greenpeace but don't know these pilots - looks like safety was not particularly the primary factor here as should always be the case.

Hi Robin - Thanks - I got there as fast as flu-ed up wife would allow, but I thought it might be too late for you.. I managed a 50 minute flight out to the east towards beachy head. - perfect flight, very calm conditions and really enjoyed playing around the cliffs. Conditions were perfect for some low flying too, so did some of that in farmland away from anyone / anything. One stupid thing I did was not to inspect the take off well. I took off on the field just south of the railway line as I had taken off fine (facing west) there before. I got off first time but it was a crap / long take off run as I was having to correct my wing on the ground and just made it over some raised ground. On the other side of the raised ground was a massive river / lake which I did not know about - if my motor had died at that point just after take off I would very likely have drowned.... I hate putting my life into the hands of the engine (although its arguably better than putting my hands into the life of the engine ) Next Time I will ALWAYS check what kind of area I am taking off into - and abort earlier if needed.... Will give you a shout next time ... Cheers Nick

Anyone up for flying tonight?

Yep - count me in I've got a 2 stroke so a fuel stop will be needed on the isle! -Nick

Is anyone flying in or around leicester this weekend? I'm looking to escape the in-laws for a while
