magmig Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hi Mark good to meet you on Sunday- pity the weather decided not to play ball. Hopefully next time we will get in the air. I will probably be going to Astley on Saturday if the weather is OK. cheers, mag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcusFlyer Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Good to meet you at the field Magnus. I'm surprised the weather didn't play ball for you guys on the Sunday, I was parawaiting on a pennine for all of Sunday morning in nill wind with the odd thermal coming through. I was imagining you chaps having a whale of a time on the motors. Then around 3 I think the inversion was broken and some big old clouds started building. Then suddenly it was great conditions. Maybe by the time you got set up etc it was too windy? All being well I should be buying / picking up a 2nd hand motor this Sat. Decided to up my efforts seeing as Paul's training machine was waiting for parts last time I heard. Will let you know. Catch up soon guys.

ArcusFlyer Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Can't believe it's well and truly blown out for the whole of bank hol weekend. Mags - I got a new set of blades after picking up that stone, ready for action. In the mean time have a look at my first youtube attempt! No paramotors in sight but next one should be paramotor related. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjVSf__pdpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magmig Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Great vid Matt. I am waiting to try my helmet cam but need to sort out all my ground handling first before I have to worry about something else to think about! Hopefully next weekend will be allow for some much needed airtime- 2 flights this year is pretty poor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcusFlyer Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Thanks guys. The song is Movies by Alien Ant Farm. First time I've tried editing stuff like this. I used Moviemaker which comes with Vista. It's actually really intuitive for a beginner and you can knock stuff together really quick. One warning it was quite flaky until I applied Vista service pack 1 and it's been great since then.

magmig Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Mark/Matt long time no speak- I have'nt flown for months how about you guys- went to the field on Saturday & had a very frustrating time & just could'nt get off the ground. The two other guys with me both wrecked their wings- bad day all round! lets get together sometime? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcusFlyer Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi, just noticed this post. Serious lack of flying recently, either all the good weather has been mid-week or I have been going to weddings etc. etc. when the weekends have been good. I drove up from a wedding in Bournemouth a few weeks ago and all the way from the south coast to Manchester the sky was horizon to horizon with fluffy cumulus. Just managed a couple of small hops on the motor, some of the guys at my free flying club have now got motors and all had their first flight from a dome shaped hill site we fly which is perfect as there is always a slope into the wind making those first takeoffs very easy. Might ease myself in with some more free flying before trying the motor again. I also think there is a lack of netting on my cage so I'm going to add some before the next attempt. Keep in touch guys and lets do some flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcusFlyer Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Cool, Will let you know if I go out. This weekend is the first one I've had free for a while but the weather doesn't look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcusFlyer Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hello, who you doing your CP with? The hill I was referring to is near Rochdale but is actually a private club / training site so could be a bit sensitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
