powerlord Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hi guys, just done a video I've been meaning to do for a while about safety equipment, and emergency services. maybe there's something in there you don't know ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H98F6UdOd74 And I'm just back from Scotland where I got some nice flights in. Here's one over the Cuillin mountains in Skye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujWWJorf6tw atb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackburn Mark Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Holy shit, Skye was nice in that one! Getting nostalgic pangs here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2vdavidb Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Great video thanks, I have the 3 words now installed! From a tools a carry a few zip ties and tape plus a small wing bag as a long walk beats risking some equipment damage due to bodge. Maybe if I was 1/2 way up a mountain it would be different. Having seen your close encounters with fast jets in Scotland I also now carry a strobe and am looking at somthing to ping my position, I think these are getting more afordable. Thanks again, videos are stunning and I will be in Inverness in December for New year but suspect will not be flyable. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerlord Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Dave: yeh I carry a stuff sack. forgot to video it. I've had some nice flights in the snow in december - sometimes you get lovely clean blue skies - just make sure you wrap up. Steve: you not flying paramotors now then ?

Ha, should have put a question mark after that sentence. I was looking for a weighty Bailey in the videos and all I saw was a lightweight two stroke.

powerlord Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 haha. yeh best thing I ever did getting that air conception. touch wood - that's 2 1/2 years with no broken props, no nasty falls or heavy landings. I had light(ish) weigh pap top80 before but I was always running like buggery to take off in low wind. The air conception is definately the best paramotor I've ever had - everything is just a damn site easier when you've a comfortable light paramotor on yer back, but the power is there to take off quick.

Lee Jackson Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Brilliant video Stu, lots of really good info in there. Your flying toolkit is a tad more comprehensive than mine. I have a roll of tape, zip ties and an allen key! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I also have an AC, but have got the toolkit down to half that size. You can find much smaller versions of each thing eg. you dont need allen keys but can use allen bits that fit the same socket wrench for the spark plug, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
