scottishmotorman Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'd be happy to help set up a club. I'm based in Linlithgow and know another 3 pilots within a 30 mile drive of my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 ScottishMotorMan how are you finding the Parajet Cyclone You must be one of the first to get one. Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishmotorman Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Really enjoying the cyclone thanks Alan. Build quality, power and thus far reliability have been great. Just can't wait for a warmish day to get some longer/higher flights done - today would have been ideal but too busy at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Billymac, Good effort mate!! If your flying a paramotor at 80 years old, I think we can safely say that you are the UK's oldest PPG Pilot! I hope I am still flying at 80 years old thats for sure!! Inspirational.

alan_k Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Simon, I hope I'm wrong and Billymac IS an inspiration, but I think it was a smiley with a broad nose at the end of his post. Like this but not spaced out - 8 0 ) Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatix Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Billy is picking up a new motor on Wed 8th Sept, .... which is now cleaned from its last 40 mile flight and ready to go. I'm sure you'll have many safe & pleasant flights on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billymac591 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Any flyers out there from Edinburgh or East Lothian to set up a club in this neck of the woods? Billy in Musselburgh, are you still flying ?, haven't been out on my motor this past year, but hoping to rectify that this coming year !! billymac591@sky.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danieljanowski Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I have PG licence for 3 years and now I bought PPG kit and I will go for PPG training this month so it would be great to meet some other pilots in Edinburgh area. I live in Gorebridge. Billymac are you flying? Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FERRYAIR Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Are there any 2 seater Paratrikes in Scotland? I am wanting to " try before I buy " I will admit that I have considered Paramotor's as being too flimsy for me but have an extremely weird desire to get into Paratriking I do find Paramotor's exciting to watch, but not something I could get into as my fitness levels at 53 make me prefer ' wheeled ' take off's so Paratriking is what I need to try I am looking to join the PMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartasutherland Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hiya, trikes get into a whole bunch more licensing issues as it is not "foot launched". I know a guy who is 71 and still foot launches no problem. Once you have the knack, it isn't difficult.

FERRYAIR Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 We fly microlights from a field SW of Edinburgh Airport & in previous years have seen Paragliders & Paramotors flying from the Hill End Hill above the Ski slopes. Not seen many recently in that area, but I am sure they must still be there. I am sure if anybody was to ' land out ' at our site the welcome would be great Whilst we would welcome anyone, we are inside Edinburgh Airspace so a Radio is Mandatory. There is a lot of Paramotor activity around Linlithgow & sometimes Polmont. One of the flyers from Linlithgow is an extremely colourful chappie & it wouldn't surprise me if he is the only holder of a PMC Night Rating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vauxscott Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 If there was ever a club to form Id definitely join...Im based near Glenrothes and normally fly locally. Id definitely be up for flying in other places nearby, a change would be nice! Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartasutherland Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I'm not a fan of clubs, I just text my mates and decide where to fly tomorrow. I'm in Perth and we have flying sites over a pretty large area now so if anyone want to join me / us. Give me a shout!
