Guest Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 The end of an awesome weekend! Thanks to everyone who visited Lambourn this weekend we had a buzzing weekend, just like the summers of old! Tuesday is looking a little off, but the rest of the week is looking great! Let the good times roll! SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheman Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Yeah I saw the tips in the air before the cage hit the ground, was that a Macro ? and why did the prop hit the cage ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Macro yes Prop runs too close to frame??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriane Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 My word!! someone found my video quickly! Had an amazing day training and after a rusty 30 minutes it finally felt natural. After a good day I am now aching and bruised but loved every minute. Fingers crossed for motor time next visit!! Anyway, more videos - Here's the other one of Colin, anyone know his user name to let him know? First one is still uploading (at least 40mins from my post time till available) [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo][youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druffuk Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Great vids!! When I see these it makes me wish I had more time at the moment to get out there and get myself in the air. Problem is the distance to Lambourn and good weather always clashing with other commitments, does anyone else have this problem?? I just seem to be on a constant battle to get the time to get my training in, will I ever get off the ground?? Have booked in to do a week out in Spain while out on business so hopefully this will be my break and I can progress beyond running around with the wing..... so frustrated at the moment, have my motor sat in the garage and I can't even use it yet...

Guest Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Macro yes Prop runs too close to frame??? Indeed, We belive that a hard landing or two in the past, coupled with the more flexable fibreglass prop allowed it to contact the cage. Many other people are using the fibreglass props now and having no problems with them. (hence, we think something must be bent as well as the prop giving a little more) I will be able to let you know fully when the motor is back from Parajet after a full check.

adriane Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Someone has replied directly to the video on YouTube from Calafornia. They have said that they need to use a spacer with the Parajet motor and prop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Some do yes, but... this motor had been fine for 18 months with the same 'wooden' prop. The only thing that changed was the prop prior to self distruct. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES, I have a 2 hour journey to lambourn, I really like fying down that way as there is some nice open countryside and uncluttered airspace wich I dont have here in essex, everytime the weather looks good for flying I have other commitments or work.
