  • Every freshBreeze has after such a touch down a brocken prop and a brocken cage! Cost`s about 500 Euro! What is the name of this motor?

  • It's a Walkerjet - very sturdy, comfortable in flight, but a bit heavy. We have since started using a lighter brand of equipment because students were getting tired too quickly with the weight.

    Nice machines if you can handle the extra weight.

    Not so nice if you can't :)

  • Developing muscle memory -- the gluteous maximus!!!

  • That's going to be a keeper...

  • We had another student sit down too early recently - twice in a row! We had shown him this clip too..

  • That's true! I'm sure it's easy to totally blank out during a first launch.. plus there's that natural tendency to sit when you are lifted by a harness. Hmmm.... you could remove the seat board from your student's unit prior to the first flight and tell them if they prove they won't try to sit down they can have the board back for flight #2! :-)

  • Actually, we now just show them this video clip - seems to work!

  • When ya jump - ya always get down very soon :) It's better just run a bit more, but take off safe.

  • the wing is not stand up,and incline left.

    and the pilot run with jump action

  • Ya can see him pulling left brake wtf. Hands up!Dummy

  • pooor poor 4 grand motor.... :D

  • Il m'est arrivé exactement la même chose il y a 3 semaines,résultat:une hélice cassée!

  • The other problem here was that he had left brake on so he was killing his left side and that caused the drop in altitude. I used to lift my feet too early as well, but I always managed to get away from the ground anyway. Keep flying straight!
