Good Result at Boston

Posted on April 22, 2013 in Dean Eldridge   

Having just returned from 2 months traveling abroad with my Parajet Zenith, I was in a favourable position going into the first round of the British League competition this weekend, having been able to keep my flying skills in shape with good weather whereas many pilots have been scuppered for training during the earlier months of the year with unfavourable flying conditions. Also, the first four tasks were precision based, my speciality, so I was able to make a good head start. My two Parajet Team mates Ric Womersley and Phil Jennings also got off to a good start where others were still shaking off the winter rust.

Spring arrives early!

Posted on March 22, 2013 in Maren Ludwig   

Spring arrived a little early in the Pacific Northwest with some great weather for both free flying and motoring. This last Saturday, one day before the time change, some local pilots were towing up over a local lake, others headed to the mountains to get some great thermal flying, while our group chose to go motoring! Our local, ‘just off the beach’ PPG site was warm and sunny with perfect winds. We had five in our group, all flying Parajets, playing around, enjoying the beautiful coastal scenery and the clear blue skies all day long. Fly, land, grab some food and warm up a bit, then get back into the air and do it again, and again, and again… Great to have a day to do nothing buy fly!

Midweek Fly-in

Posted on January 25, 2013 in Phil Jennings   

After a few weeks of snow here in the UK I’ve been dying to get out flying but work and windy days have stopped this happening. Anyway with a good forecast for the Thursday a few fellow pilots decided to hold an impromptu fly in at a field only 15 miles from where I work.

New Year’s Day Testing

Posted on January 02, 2013 in Phil Jennings   

I’ve had a shiny new Polini 200 sat in my Paramotor shed now for several months but I’d been waiting for my ankles to get back to full strength before using it. So when the weather turned on New Years day after weeks of rain, I decided it was time.

Around the World with the Zenith Top80

Posted on December 20, 2012 in Dean Eldridge   

At the end of the summer season this year I had the most fortunate opportunity of traveling around the world with my paramotoring equipment and a small documentary film crew. The brainchild of the project is Sylvestre Campe, a well respected film maker in his homeland Brazil (although his origins are from Germany/France.) Deciding that he really wanted to use the paramotor for aerial filming, we worked together to formulate an itinerary at extremely short notice and and also to incorporate some training for him too as he had never before piloted anything himself!

October Highlights

Posted on October 23, 2012 in Maren Ludwig   

October has produced quite a few great flying days here in the Pacific Northwest and given us the opportunity to do some free flying on the coast and both PG and PPG in the Columbia Gorge. We have been training using our tow system on the beach and doing some motor flying/training in a few different locations. Our newest motoring location is a spot that we just recently discovered and provides nice and easy conditions for the students, and great views of the Columbia River and Mt. St. Helen’s. Pretty cool to see lots of big ships moving by from so close up.
