Drove out on Saturday with the Powered Parachute and 3 kids in Tow (forgot the camera). Could only stay one night but got each of the kids up twice for a look around. Great conditions for Parachutes and the half dozen Powered Paragliders had a ball. So much that they are talking about around 35 of em holding their annual Fly In at Inglewood from 8 -10th July (to be confirmed) and the town will provide same facilities. I will endeavour to get some PPC's along to play with the PPG's. Was a good night Saturday night caught upwith some interesting characters. Sleep was interupted by the 2.20 and 4.20am freight trains that passed feet from my head in the tent, funny, some didn't even hear them (must have had some sleeping medicine). Already in the Diary for May Day weekend next year.

Got there, Did Group D Sept 07, Radio Passenger etc. Group A Sept 09 and got the XC Endorsement today and am quite excited about it Thanks to ProFly at YCAB (Zane Tully) previously and finished with GoFly Aviation YCAB (Damien Wills) same shed and Planes. Mike.

Hi Tomo, hope to get a few to Inglewood this year, i'll take you for a fly.

Mag and Calander arrived on Friday 30/12/10

Erps I'm sure many have come accross these units. Great for Vehicles and Maritime. Auto units are small and not much weight. Why not Aviation ? Electronic rust prevention, Car anti corrosion protection, lanolin & Rubber rust prevention Regards Mike

Surprisingly my email notification of Marks post was formatted perfectly but when I visited the forum it was as we all have witnessed. Regards Mike

Looks like I have to answer my own question. Weight of Jab 2200 inc exhaust etc 62.8kg Weight of 912ULS inc Gearbox exhaust etc 63.8kg So not much in it, still going to have over 270kg carrying capacity inc fuel in a Factory 170 after conversion..........

Hmmmmmm...... Currently have 280kg usable (320kg dry) in a 170 with a 2.2. What would be the dry weight with a 912.

Cryptic - or was it you:cool:

I'd need a pretty big sail and a possibly a jet engine to get the Hilux over the fence.

A few pilots have told recently of their encounters with Large Birds. Here is a different twist to Flying with Birds........ Paragliding vultures take to the skies - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Checked out the specs on the Aerokits site Cruise on the Sav S 100hp @ 75% 179kph ( 96.6knts) Cruise on the Sav XL 100hp 90knts ( 167 kph) - both show consumption of 18.5lph @ 75% The flyer for the "S" model shows Max and VNE up to 10% higher than the XL/VG Is the "S" a better performer or is there another reason for the difference.

Thanks for the feedback Dazza.

No $$$$'s, jus a favour

Have been asked to take some Pics of a College at Jimboomba. Looking for a strip within several nm so I can use my Powered Parachute. Been checking Google Earth and see a couple of private strips in the area - is anyone the proud owner or got any info...

Yeah, drove up Yesterday and had a look and a chat and took a few pics but Thomo's are nicer. Was eyeballing the Spit and had a chat with a guy who looked after them during the war. Lovely spot, Ladies had made some fantastic cakes and enjoyed some coffee, again shame about the Weather. Congratulations Mark and Denise on your big day, can't work out though Mark, if your mate was the Best Man - why did she Marry you..................

Good one John, Only your second post and your showing good style - keep em coming hereafter.....

Music to my ears - Thanks for the feedback Neil

Two months down the track, has anyone heard of any developments ??

Mate, I'd send it back, looks like it came with a little person (unless you ordered one). From my experience they make a lot of noise and mess and cost you a fortune for about 30 years LOL. Actually, looks like a future Pilot if ever I've seen one. Dad.......can I borrow the keys for the Plane??

To close this one off, had 5 machines turn up, a good feed at the Pub on Sat night, (frost on Sun morning brrrr !!) a bit of tinkering with some new props and plenty of good flying. Till next year with more allready commiting.

So, how do you book a tent/bed

Must be a Tecnam

I know its been around BUT doesn't it give you a tingly feeling. Love that Rudder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X_7Xt2ga-s&feature=related"
