Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 All, On the 27th of May the tip to tip pilots and ground crew are booked in to Parajet to build our motors. ( They will have much of the time consuming stuff already done. ) this is a good way of taking the pressure off the boys in the workshop and getting to know your motor well. This day will be forming a part of the DVD so Dan The Camera Man will be there with all his gadgets. Please let me know if you will be able to make this date.

helimed01 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hi Team. Yes, I will be there. But if this is cancelled could somebody please tell me ASAP. Im supposed to be at a meeting in Exeter on 27th, I will lose big brownie points for not going (hay Ho!) So will divert to that and pretend I was never going to miss it. See you all soon. Whitters.

Thanks again for a very informative day Simon Payne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Yep, ditto to Simon Payne's post above. its been a great day and some valued info on the machines if they go wrong, which will give us the experience to put it right ourselves. Hoping my next day off will be a flyable one. Regards Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asquaddie Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Ditto the ditto’s Great - very educational for me. e.g – Took me ‘a good few minutes’ and plenty of sweat and swear words JUST to take the Electronic box cover off last time – very stiff and not sure how it was fixed – NOW I KNOW. Many thanks to all – Double ditto’s for lunch too – profits must be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 What a fine body of men, Pete too! What a shame we couldn't all have stayed over and wet the (new Macro) baby's head. It was a very fine thing to see it start first go! Inspiring even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helimed01 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Assembled yesterday flown today. http://paramotorclub.org/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=537 Which getrs a big thumbs up from me http://paramotorclub.org/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=536 Perranporth beach on another day, just to show Cornwall. http://paramotorclub.org/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=534 Pottered around the sky for an hour tonight. The machine felt nice and light on my back and delivered loads of thrust which is such a luxury for me. Nil wind launch and I was scooped off and upwards without my usual dip, skimmer along, and slow climb out. Was able to maintain altitude with less than half revs. Very impressed with the macro. It just feels right, better than I expected. 1 hour ten mins was approx 4.5 ltrs but not sure. Can't wait for tip to tip. Tomorrow (or fri) I will top-up fuel tank to max and fly at steady altitude untill its close to empty to test endurance for tip to tip planning. Great to meet everyone and big big thanks to Giles and his team. Lovely people. Will let you know how endurance goes. Regards Whitters, the guy with a big grin on his face.

weesplat Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hi All, What an excellent day and many thanks to Parajet for their hospitality. Really enjoyed putting those nice shiny new bits together. What well enginered kit the Parajet is and to have Witters able to take his motor down to cornwall running and ready to go, just needs run in, was really satisfying. Look forward to hearing about your maiden flight with her Witters get to know her well after all your going to be spending quite some time in intimate contact just hope theres no pressure sores by the end Cheers Col....
