I finally made it to the UK's largest Microlight fair at Popham Airfield. Some dodgy low cloud meant I made the trip by motorbike rather than by air, but it was well worth the long ride.
There was so much to see so I have done my best to capture a flavour of what went on.

Hi Paul, I am really enjoying your posts. I missed Popham this year for the first time in many years, due to a combination of bad weather and having to spend the weekend sorting out my electronics, so good to get a flavour of what was going on. Thanks for posting.

Sorry you missed the show. It was my first visit so but wont be the last as long as the housing developers keep their hands of the airfield.

Ta Ged. It really is a good day out especially if the weather plays ball which it did this year. Leave the bank card at home though to avoid temptation. 👍

@NatJB 2 ай бұрын

A tactical approach there, by using the bike you're limited on what you can buy and take home. Of course there also isn't a landing strip at McNasty so swings and roundabouts as they say. When I saw Giles on the bench at the front I thought it was the naughty bench. Thanks for sharing, glad you enjoyed it, here's to a hopeful outcome for Popham.

Cracking day for you. Glad the weather picked up for you. Nice ride down. You've just won a few hundred thousand, which aircraft are you going to buy, a nice flex wing, or go for a streamlined 3 Axis.

With a few Hundred Thousand i'd have a delta jet to play with while I build a 3-axis machine and learn to fly it. We can but dream!

Great channel Paulie! I fly an open cockpit powered parachute aircraft. Sometimes I use a Gopro 7 black on a head strap. I fly at a BLAZING 30 mph. Looking for a suitable external mic to plug into the Gopro. I want to narrate the flight while minimizing the engine noise (engine sits behind the pilot and passenger). Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

@paulieb796 2 ай бұрын

You’ll need a mic with a 3.5mm jack that you can plug into a GoPro media mod. I don’t know if you wear a headset with audio out. If you don’t then something like this would work. cpc.farnell.com/pulse/hsm-700-lj/headset-microphone-3-5mm-locking/dp/MP34751?mckv=s_dm%7Cpcrid%7C224680541983%7Ckword%7C%7Cmatch%7C%7Cplid%7C%7Cslid%7C%7Cproduct%7CMP34751%7Cpgrid%7C47726778220%7Cptaid%7Cpla-959039943324%7C&CMP=KNC-GUK-CPC-SHOPPING-945736535-47726778220-MP34751&s_kwcid=AL!5616!3!224680541983!!!network%7D!959039943324!&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6PGxBhCVARIsAIumnWYKJiXlt7ZDp5fvIXcQcCEN01lFiifXvIhvo7bjequWZByRwVSpA90aAmiCEALw_wcB

First of all Paulie, thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my query. I do wear a headset and I am investigating a cord that will work in that scenario. Looks like it will have to be a custom build by Comtronics. What I would like to do is have a microphone plugged into the GoPro while I am wearing the GoPro head strap so I can be free of my Intercom and walk around to do preflight checks etc. So far, I have found nothing on KZfaq that would pick up my voice as well as canceling or somewhat canceling the engine noise behind me. I have been researching what bicyclists do for their audio. I have added Challenges in that I have motor noise and I’m trying to combat that. In essence, I’m trying to sort out a roaming application with only the head strap, Mike adapter plus microphone attached. If you have any other ideas, I’m all ears! Thanks again for your time. BTW Sounds like we have a lot in common. I have owned not a few motorcycles, I love Powered Parachute flight ……. you don’t happen to be a ham radio operator do you?
