4th Generation 196cc Experimental Paramotor - 'Re-Source' - Eggstatic #30

in paragliding •  7 years ago 

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/


Here is the first test flight of the 4th generation (black powder-coated chassis, pulse-pump fed fuel tank and 'over-the-back' starting capability) 200cc Eggmotor. The location was at High Marnham (a Cloud Hoppers flying site with Mr B. Tunnard in attendance) and the wind was zero to 7-8mph and light thermic. Launch was relatively easy but whether due to my perspective, wind rotor or too much brake applied, it seemed I wasn't climbing and so rather than risk a circuit I dumped the flight before running out of field.


Thank you for stopping by and helping me to relive my finest moments.
