7 Jan 10 -  On the road again  - Another frosty morning and the cold temperatures continues here in Florida.  So, Jo and I will be heading west  to California today to get out of the cold jet stream.  We'll be at the ParaToy's Fly-In location at Salton Sea really early but this will give Jo and I the opportunity to get in some Tandem flights and enjoy the warm smooth California air again!!

3 Jan 10 -  Another cold front  - They say, "Its not winter here" but everyone is dressed for the cold.  It's been cold but at least there's no snow!!   Paul from PPG Planet gave me a 21M  U Turn obsession glider to test fly.  The air was rough but the weather was forecasted to be even worse for the next two day's,  so I figured if I want to get in my last flight I better fly now.  Later on after flying,  Paul had shown me how to re-install a new submersion pill in my Agama.  I had learned that it's a good idea to change this pill every year to ensure that the Agama does not deploy prematurely.

To further explain, the submersion pill works by once submerged underwater or getting completely wet.  The pill will quickly dissolve and will allow the firing pin strike the air bottle deploying the Agama flotation device.  This means there is no requirement for you to pull the deployment cord to deploy the device, it will automatically operate if you end up in water.  The reason to change your submersion pill annually is because your agama has most likely been in damp conditions like most morning when we fly.  Each time when the pill gets damp, it starts to deteriorate and weaken in which after time it will most likely fail and pre-maturely activate your Agama.  There has been several pilot's that this had occurred, so it's a good idea to get it changed if you hadn't changed it as of yet.

1 Jan 10 -  1st flight in 2010!  - The weather forcast was calling a heavy rain fall this morning. I was going to fly the Xenit trike but as I was getting set up it started to rain. The rain was scattered so I put the Xenit back under cover.  Shortly after putting the trike under cover the rain has stopped but I could see a large weather system moving in. I set up my Paramotor and flew another quick flight long enough to take a few photos.

31 Dec 09 -  Last flight of the year - My last flight of the year was over in Pine Island.  We arrived late in the evening and there was not much time to get in a flight.  I quickly set up the Motorhome and rushed to assemble and fuel my paramotor. I did manage to get in a quick flight and it was nice to see the Island again from the air!!

28 Dec 09 -  Winter flying with Mini Skis - Dave and Paul where able to fly their trikes today using the mini skis to glide off the run way at Weyman's Field just outside of Fredericton, NB.  The ski package easily attaches to the trike to ensure you enjoy flying all year round.  Look's like the penguin has joined in on the fun again!! Thanks Bob for the pics.

23 Dec 09 -  Merry Christmas - Johanne and I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas during this holiday season.  We would like to thank all who had supported us throughout  the year and we're looking forward to another training sesaon in 2010.

20 Dec 09 -  Greeneagle new colour - Ashton Brunner the founder and designer of the Greeneagle is here in Florida putting together another trike. The new 2010 colours are powder coat candy green, nice colour!! For more info on the greeneagle go to my Paramotor & trikes link on the homepage.

15 Dec 09 -  Flew to the River - I took the Greeneagle to the river to meet the other pilots.  This Compact wing is from Axis.

13 Dec 09 -  Canadian Penguin Tipping - The Weyman Flyers from Fredericton do not have the chance to Gator tip this time of year in Canada however, there is the odd Penguin to join in on the Fun!!
