haze Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Morgy, Mainly because I'd had a student filming me for the takeoff, and wanted to use that in the video... ...and because I had that nice spiral in for the landing. Barry, This was...err....Monday. The morning before Morgy's super-reliable paramotor wasn't so super-reliable AGAIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 HEY!!!!!!! she still fire's up just knock's a bit "sounds like your parajet" You can take this moment in time as i am without motor to try and convert me to the other side..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Barney Townsend on the Polini Thor with the Float-bowl carb was getting 2-3L per hour economy at the Nationals. That almost makes brings it into the economy range of the 4-stroke Baileys. Just food for thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Yah i remember you and luke telling me that..... But that's flying in comp's not the real world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Well we'll soon see. The float bowl carb's are becoming more common now and seem to offer better economy than the normal WG8's. I may get one in to test at some point to see how much better it is. It's supposed to be much better in the mid range (cruise) than the usual WG8 which just throws fuel into the engine! Worth considering and a lot lighter than the heavy lumps. (Bailey V5 not included in this statement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 mmmm I think if i can get 2.5/3ltr's on my v3.....On a lighter v5 i should be able to get 2.5 all day long. I need to get me a GPS to check out my speeds/fuel... ETC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
