Many thanks….i did too when i managed it 😂🤘

It ended up being just a dirty spark plug

Thanks Bryan, glad you enjoy. You should give it go 🤘

Cheers 🤘

Hi many thanks. Thats a 27mtr i have which you see in the video. Im a heavier pilot 😅. Glad you enjoyed 🤘

@@adamthorpe1 Thank you very much, 🙏🙏🙏

Many thanks 🤘😎

Cheers glad you enjoyed 👍

Am having my first lesson tomorrow!

@@tonychapman3645 Awesome, good luck and keep us updated on your progress 💪👍

Many thanks 👍

Thanks dude! Give it a go you wont regret it. Currently its unregulated, you dont need a licence. However, you do need to adhere to air law as you can imagine so when you’re flying you do need to know what you’re doing. With proper training, like anything really, you’ll be taught everything. BHPA schools have a great syllabus which includes all the practical flight training and ground school, exams included etc. Also so much fun 🤘

Cheers Simon. Have you got your gear?

@@adamthorpe1 Yep well wing and Motor just a Helmet to get round to getting, still learning went to Italy with Danny and got up once but hopefully more soon :)

@@1404sigi great stuff 👍 we’ll have to sort out a spare helmet and we’ll arrange some flights together if you’re up for it 🤘

@@adamthorpe1 I am a way from that yet but would love to when I am safe enough ! need to order a Helmet I just keep forgetting !

Many thanks glad you enjoyed the video. There are indeed more lined up. Thanks also for the suggestion 👍 give it a go you won’t regret it 🤘

@@adamthorpe1 theres alot of i structors who or what company did you use thanks

Ive read the comments in part 1thank you adam

@@daviddean4705 i trained with FlyPap. Had the best experience. I put together a series of 8 videos highlighting my training so you might want to check those out too. I’d recommend a BHPA registered school, you know you’re being trained by a reputable syllabus and by qualified people. For me, you cant put a price on that in this game, but there is a good choice out there. If you go for it…get some footage and share with us your own experience 🤘

This is the Quibik, 27mtr. Similar to the Link 👍

Thanks. All data including GPS info was recorded using the GoPro camera itself. No additional equipment needed. You have to use GoPro software to extrude the info from your recordings but its there 👍

Thanks dude, glad you enjoyed the video 👍 😁

Hi. My experience with Nil wind landings, or very little wind, has been very positive with the Quibik. I have no issues at all with flare authority (I always have plenty), although that may depend on the conditions at the time, experiencing sink at the very last moment for example can sometimes feel like the brakes didn't do much. The key with most landings is to keep pressure in the wing, by keeping your speed up, and bleed it off at the bottom. You will get better response with good airflow. You could of course slightly shorten the brake lines a tad if you demand more from your brakes depending on your setup and reach etc, but that's not my recommendation and I would get more validated advice before deciding to do anything like that. But I have had no issues at all with mine, in fact I can honestly say the Quibik has exceeded my expectations in many ways and I could not ask for a better intermediate wing at my level, with plenty of brake authority, even for a heavy guy like me!. All the best and happy flying 🤟

@@adamthorpe1 Much thanks for your input here. I think Landing was only part I was concerned about on Qubik. I will give it a go 👍🏽

@@dhanaybarbhaya Yeah i wouldn’t concern yourself too much about it, this wing has a great reputation and like anything really, you’ll only truly know once you try it. But genuinely, i’ve had no issues. I’m having a ball on it as you can see in the videos 🤘

Hi. I bought the harness on Amazon over a year ago, having searched again for you it's no longer listed, but there are some similar. If my memory serves me right I paid about £30 for the one you see in the video. It has clip in points similar to the position of your swingarms on a lot of paramotors, so is useful for a quick dabble on the wing in the right configuration.

@@adamthorpe1 Thanks I will look there 👌

Cheers! This was the day you flew away…and didn’t return 😂

Nice one John 👍 yes its a bit random over here…lazy…you could say 😂🤘

Thanks Paul 👍

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Definately do it, you wont regret it. Check out my other paramotor training videos that cane next, showing my progression to passing the course entirely. I’m sure you’ll enjoy those too…and that will help you make your mind up. All the best and good luck 🤘💪

@@adamthorpe1 thanks Adam, see you in the sky 😊👍🏻🌞

@@Jakingz Definately 🤜 get some videos on and keep us updated 😉🤙

@@adamthorpe1 yeah for sure, will do 👍🏻

Many thanks. You too 👍

Hi Yes it's mainly just a case of sourcing a place and making an arrangement with the land owner yourself, or by joining an already established group of flyers from a particular location. If you're not flying from a club location for example, it really is just a case of finding a good place to fly from and making sure you've got permission to use it etc. Good luck with the rest of your training 👍💪

Me too…bring on the warmth and longer daylight hours 👍

Hi Craig. Yes Danny was my instructor you’re correct. Definately do it, you wont regret it 👍 i sometimes fly over the CW10 area so look out for me overhead from time to time, although its very close to the edge of Manchester airspace so not often over that way. I flew over in the 43 mile video incase you’ve not seen it. Give it a go, you’ll love it 👍

Hi Robert, many thanks. Glad you’ve enjoyed the videos so far 👍 and yes there are more in the pipeline…certainly once the weather improves here🤘

@@adamthorpe1 Oh yeah forgot about the weather there.... I don't fly. Can't afford it but love watching videos from everyday people. Stay safe have fun.

Thanks Scuba 👍 yes my daughter ofter ignores my advice about wrapping up warm...and then complains how cold she is 🙃 to be fair is wasn't too bad that day (early spring), but always much cooler up top. I actually did my first flight of this year on the 2nd Jan which was bitterly cold, especially at 1800ft. Gloves required for that one, but there's a lot of flying to be done in winter if you can and wrap up warm. Plus...it's much less thermic generally speaking, especially here in the UK, so you can get some nice smooth flights done and the flying window is much wider since you can ofter fly pretty much through the entire day rather than reserve things for morning or evening etc. Daylight hours are very small in the winter here though so it's a bit of a trade off really...so basically my motto is to fly while I can and wrap up warm if its cold rather than turn it down. But like you I much prefer the warmer ones 😁 All the best with your upcoming flights. I faceplanted my 4th flight 🤣 I'm sure you''re doing a much better job than me🤟

Hi, I'm glad you like the videos many thanks. I do like my PAP and I agree the throttle isn't the easiest to handle, although I do like the fact it's very light and simple in its design which works best for me overall. The Kill switch is always there though...staring at me...daring me to hit it! But, I've learned to live it and as you say it could be swapped for a different one if it became a real problem. Thankfully it's not caused me too many issues generally speaking, but it's very annoying when it does 😄. Happy flying and thanks again 🤟

Oh yes, I couldn't agree more 👍

Well kinda. Important to remember the ISS goes over most days, at some point. In the uk, being a fairly northern location it shifts slightly over the course of the year where for a time it mainly favours daytime passes, and then part of the year where it mainly favours night time passes. So, if you get a rainy day, or cloudy night, you normally don’t have to wait too long for another opportunity to see it. Check out my other video where i show it passing over at dawn 🤘 and happy ISS spotting 👍😁
