morgy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hi I have been trying to set some paramotor records this year mainly the economy one's... Limited fuel in a closed circuit.. I thought i would share some photos and a link or two if anyone s interested... On the 25/2/2012 I chose to try my hand at an attempt. I called on Michel Carnet to see if he would be my official observer for my first attempt. Which he did and i made it all the way around my and finished back at guildford after 137.48km beating Michels two year old record of 127km. Ten days later Michel call me up for a return favour. This time i was his observer.. He can back a 149.65km Since then an aussie Matthew Fox has beaten Michel and i with a 151.9km On monday 2 may i flew a 165km triangle in 5h20m on my Ozone Speedster and Bailey V5 http://uk.mg.bt.mail.yahoo.com/ya/downl ... hooMailNeo Unfortunatly i will not be able to claim this as a record due to the fact my northern turn point is less than 35 degrees... weighing all up weight Foker tri plane Beautifull sight to see In a thermal with a Sailplane at 3500ft and climbing Liss in front of me from 3000ft A record or records can be found here http://www.fai.org/record-microlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
