Happy Bunny

 Rigging up for an evening flight

 Up and away Kieth gets "solo"

Flying from your own land, ideal

Had a super phone call last night from Keith B (Dartmoor) to let us know he had flown his new Fly Products Race C Paramotor on his Dudek Synthesis wing and loved it. It was also his first time out of his own field.

To say he was pleased and excited would be an under statement. So good to see somebodies dream come true with Keith achieving exactly hat he set out to do.  Keith will now build his experience before returning to us for his final Pilot rating tasks in a month or two with a bit of luck. Nice one and thanks for letting us know :~)

flying from home is a thrill, first time out without that reassuring voice from the radio was to say the least exciting. After settling down I have enjoyed a few flights cruising up and down into wind above the Farm.
The equipment performs very well, having no previous experience I can't make comparisons but I can say that the Dudek Is very easy to ground handle, sitting over-head patiently without over shooting. Onece in the air it is fast, smooth, easy too turn and reassuringly stable. The Race C unit is spot-on, weighing in under 25Kg (30Kg with reserve). It will start with a single push of the button even after cooling down, sounding no louder that a small modern scooter it delivers bags of thrust resulting in impressive climb rate. I can't fault the equipment or the training, but the Pilot still needs a bit more work !
Thanks for making it happen.
