Hi Guys ............At long last we can get hold of the long awaited
Quest! xc from Active Flight Systems. A few pilots have already been flying with it: "I think the Quest! xc is the best instrument for PPG I have seen so far and will appeal to all pilots casual and competition" says Paul Bailey, British Champion 2004 and Designer of the Bailey Four Stroke. Geoff Soden of Paramotors UK says "The best piece of equipment you will ever be able to get for flying" Paul Hallatt of Active Flight says that Quest! xc is the most comprehensive instrument for Paramotors, combining fuel and engine instruments with altitude, vario and flight logging. Weighing in at a mere 500g this unit will help you fly Longer, Further and Safer than ever before. You can get it online at www.activeflightsystems.com or by phoning +44(0)87004 460 260. (There's a list of distributors on the website) PS: Paul's looking for stockists and distributors, if you're interested call +44(0)87004 460 260. ys ......... If you're interested in Paramotoring |

If you're interested in Paramotoring Not a chance spam pig. Don't post your ads here. A brief description e.g. "We're selling a new instrument you may be interested in." followed by a link, is tolerated by most. You don't even have the right news group ass hole. "Hey guys" Like you know anyone here. Now go crawl back under your rock. Shawn |

You don't even have the right news group ass hole. OK, the guy didn't grovel properly, but his choice of newsgroups isn't that bad. Why be so rude to a company that could potentially supply us with useful devices? This is actually a very interesting instrument useful on powered sport aircraft, including hang gliders. I wish I had something like this for my motorglider, and for only US$900. The Ilec controller I have does the basics, but this unit has a lot of features, such as engine history, I'd like to have. If I were building a motorglider, I'd consider it. Since it's software driven and has a flexible sensor package, it looks widely adaptable. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |

I especially hate the "Hey old buddy, I got something really great to show you." type of pitch, regardless of the source/product. I'm perfectly amenable to "You don't know me, but I'm selling xyz. If you're interested check out my site www.xyz.com" The guy selling the velcro pants that W&W now sells used this approach and got a good reaction (even by me!) http://tinyurl.com/dlegd The instrument guy just struck me as a stereo salesman.

![]() It was a very spammy sort of post. Incredibly so. I especially hate the "Hey old buddy, I got something really great to show you." type of pitch, regardless of the source/product. I really loved the endorsements - like, you'd ever see an unfavorable one. Tony V. http://home.comcast.net/~verhulst/SOARING |

It was a very spammy sort of post. RAS is an international newsgroup, but maybe the guy got fooled and thought it was American, then made a bad try at "talking American". Or maybe the hangliding/paragliding groups aren't wound so tight, and the "spammy" post was right on target. Or maybe he just doesn't know how to present himself in text - it's not everyone's medium. Incredibly so. I especially hate the "Hey old buddy, I got something really great to show you." type of pitch, regardless of the source/product. It took me less than a minute on their website to decide it was a very interesting product of potential value to sailplanes. So, I'd say there was "real meat" at the other end of the "spam". I really loved the endorsements - like, you'd ever see an unfavorable one. He named names, and if you are a paragliding/hangliding Brit, those likely have real weight. I suggest that a one-time spam for a potentially useful product deserves a private email that cordially suggests a better way to attract our interest. It's not like this outfit is trying to scam you from Nigeria. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |
