paramotormike Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks Jock, nice to meet you and Bob. Sure seems to pump out the power your motor. Look forward to seeing it in a better frame!

dan_p Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Bad luck Jock, at least it wasn't a fresh prop. Sorry I couldn't make it in the end, work just got the better of me and I ended up spending the day stressing. Mike, how did the last flight go, did you make it round Malvern and back before it went dark? Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramotormike Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi Dan. Sorry I didnt get back to you, got tied up. Yes had a great flight over to the Malverns. Average speed out was 21mph with 27mph on the way back. Managed 37mph a few times with speed bar. A big front was on the other side of the Hills so I returned sharpish. Didnt want to get caught up in that! Catch you next time. All the best Mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
