New Toy for the Boys

So what does this bit do again?

Into the great Blue yonder, boy does this thing climb

Engine off and plenty of lift around

Mark F heads back to the field after playing with the convergence


A wet & windy morning gave way to a bright and lighter afternoon which saw us head to the field for a spot of Paramotoring with a brand new Fly Products Black Devil unit. Conditions were good with convergence setting up over the field giving plenty of lift, shame we didn't get the winch out. I took the first flights which proved the unit and indicated the level of thrust it produces even on low throttle settings making take offs remarkably simple. After a couple of flights and playing with the thermals Mark F had a go putting in two super flights with first class take offs and landings. he racked up some nice airtime before coming back to the field to top up with fuel. Whilst he had a break i again took to the air as the convergence line shifted to the north and found pleasant lift enough to stay up easily even with the engine off. Mark rounded of the afternoon with a trip up to a couple of grand before dropping back into the filed just as the wind began to increase. A very impressive unit with loads of thrust, not to much weight and surprisingly "quiet". Bring it on....
