Hello All,
@eggstatic will become a chronological 're-source' for all my documented (video or otherwise) achievements in the last 10 years or so of my hobby/lifestyle activities, primarily but not exclusively related to my paragliding and/or paramotoring exploits.
Everything I post within this steemit realm will be my own original content, some of it may require the dust blowing off it ;)
My original Wordpress blog has a lot more information regarding the experimental paramotor side of things on offer for those of you with an inquisitive or inventive streak: https://eggmotor.wordpress.com/
There are full details regarding this flight in the YouTube description but in essence, Sam flew for approximately 8 minutes on full power attaining a height of roughly 380ft (worked out based on his descent rate of ~1.2m/s from the point of no further climb) until the engine started to loose power. The issue could have been carb icing as it was a cold and damp December day over perhaps overheating due to no cooling fins on flywheel (I was working on the idea that the prop would provide adequate cooling). Maybe this was a big failure on my part by trying to squeeze and extra 1/3hp by ditching the fins.
Thank you for stopping by and helping me to relive my finest moments.
