A nutter on one of these gadgets crashed in my woods a few years ago:eek: . I heard what sounded like a lawn mower running badly, looked up to see a pair of legs dangling and watched it /him crash straight into a tree. Not badly injured so a lucky escape for him. Still flies over here on it but it sounds a bit healthier:)

For me it is just having the other half, anything else i wanted i would just buy myself anyway - you get exactly what you want that way.

Now where's the sick bucket.........;)

someone knows Christmas is coming

That brought back a few memories! Did you get a go at winch launching? See the attached video and look at the climb rate. 0-60 in 2.5 seconds as well. Good fun

I almost bought one of those. It was 50 50 as to buy a kit or a paramotor. I then went for a ride in spuds car. Mostly sideways lol and decided on the car. I figures I can get up early go for a spin and be back for breakfast whereas any other hobby takes you away from your family for most of the day.

The engine they use are good now. About 18hp but only weigh about 10kg.

Been on the end of the winch once,that was enough when you dont know what to expect.

Have not forgot about Provost David.

Update David, Newcastle jet provost group on facebook should provide a contact but will supply phone number soon.

Thanks.

I would really like a jp trip but don't want to buy a share.

If you ever go on a night flight I would quite happily go half on the avgas ;) even a daytime trip

This flying malarky is highly contagious, I have only been up in a piper pop pop but loved it. For my own sake and the well being of my pocket I will leave well alone:eek: . A few of my mates are into the microlight scene big time, one of them had a kit fox which was border line on being a light aircraft. A couple of them have ppl`s and one has his night flight stuff. He went to the states for a weeks flying and a test but the others dont stop taking the piss out of him for cheating:)
