If you put Torque check( tamper proof indicator) on everything it does 2 things. 1 gives you a quick visual to see if anything is loose. It also helps keep nuts from coming loose. Its a bright colored thick paint almost. You make a line on the nut and bolt and if it breaks loose it breaks the paint. Same as the orange stuff they put on moster 185's just buy it and put it on everything
Thanks. Yes I was heading into a strong wind. I was more concerned about overshooting. In the end I think I turned around twice and I was back where I wanted to be
Flippin' heck, first time flying since last year, on the phone, sitting on a pole with a 360 cam on it, rainy, cold, some clouds and then that happens. Thought you handled that well you could see how unbalanced the prop was when it happened the camera was all over the place. Paranutters.
🤣 🙏🏼thanks dude. Yeah if something's going to go wrong it will be when you've got a lot on. That's always the way. Apart from the hit to the bank balance though no harm done so successful really
Every single week someone in our group has something on their paramotor break, most of the time its just expensive, other times dangerous, occasionally catastrophic.
The bobby was one of your mates? or was he looking to levy a fine? At first I thought it was a big old dose of English self loathing or hand wringing guilt that went through the prop, but was relieved it was only an adel clamp. Speaking of Adele, can you take her back? She's living in Vegas and L.A.
🤣 no no you can keep her. We've got a few more whiney singers we can send you aswell. Sam Smith springs to mind. Yes the copper was a friend and fellow pilot. He's arrested a few of the lads at the field for shit landings but other than that its all good. 🤣

After noticing the incident you took ages to turn back towards your target. Fly a pattern, you don't need to spiral to prevent overshooting.
