jock Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Went to powick to have first flight with the volution,set up waited for thermal to bring a bit of wind as it was nil wind.wanted to get flight in before it got to thermic,reverse lanch and upwards,the pic with me in it with eyes closed was sun in my eyes honest.lol.i was still hanging out of harness with that pic,as soon as i got well above the trees i got into harness,thats when i saw the unit was hanging far to low,thought it was trying to be a flymow.i left it on the setting andrew at parajet said.i did do a hang test in the garden,but it needs ajusting.what is the best setting for a 93kg pilot its on the 4th hole from the front.i think it needs to be on the 1st/2nd hole.i take it thats the way to ajust the hang on the volution.anyway mike i got above them trees at last,on the return from kempsey roundabout on the downwind leg i was on full power and not climbing at all slighty loseing height all the way back to feild,that i take it was because it was to low on my back.but i was in the air at last.

norbertflyer Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Well done Jock, get the hanging right and you'll be flying everywhere. Knocked the gps flying hours up to 14.2 today, quite 'punchy' thermic in the afternoon, but ok in the evening despite a 20kph headwind at 1,000' asl.

norbertflyer Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 If you can somehow hook on the frame, to the back of the paramotor, as a quick stop gap, you'll get a reasonable approximation. It doesn't look too bad at the moment. Richard (14.2 hours in 4 days!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
