norbertflyer Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I can squeeze out a free afternoon on Friday, if anyone else is out and about flapping? I'll stay local if no one can make it. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paramotormike Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 "I can squeeze out a free afternoon on Friday, if anyone else is out and about flapping? I'll stay local if no one can make it." Just wondered what you meant by Flapping-------- Paragliding or Paramotoring? Then realised, the title is Powick Friday......Der stupid me! Yes, a flight Friday afternoon would be nice.

norbertflyer Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Ah, I see. I've always called it 'flapping' since I started flying these contraptions in 1996. (Powered or unpowered). Only speak about 'flapping' with friends & family. Never seem to use any other term. I'm planning to be there from 1230 ish. Richard ps - I'm sure that 50 acre field at Powick has a 2ft rise in the centre, we can soar that ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(eeeeek) The photos are video grabs form my GoPro running at 720p and then reduced down to 1200 pixels to allow upload to this forum.

norbertflyer Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Yes, a great afternoons flying with another 4 hours added to the logbook. Highest thermals went to 2,300ft and just 4.75 litres used on the first 2h11m flight! Great pics Mike, I'll get mine out later in the year when the summer finger wear allows operation of the camera controls .... would be good to see the video? Would be good to see you in the air again Jock, when your engine bits are sorted. Drizzling here today..... Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertflyer Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Mike, I finally found the option in the VXA700 TX to switch off the internal mic when an external mic is attached. Should be fine next time we fly. Will be at Clent tomorrow. Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
