Is it a wireless speedo? Mine is, and it behaved like this at first.. then I moved the speedo closer to the sensor. Of course... all of this happened before I crashed and snapped the speedo off.

Have a go with a blade in your buggy before buying .. I have a 4.9.. I love it, but it's not for everyone.. I've still to get the hang of turning fast without going into ESSM (Ejector Seat Simulation Mode). My bullet is less fun, but more forgiving.

Homer... Two beaches in that area where they actively encourage buggying: 1. La Grande Cote 2. St Georges De Didonne. They have right of ways signs ... the works.

Stu ... http://www.flexifoil.com/products/spareparts/sport_buggy.php Has the parts list ... you just need to contact a flexi dealer (Mike?) and you are sorted.. Also noticed .. http://www.airbossworld.co.uk/buggy%20spares.htm Hope one of these help.

Stu.. is that you?? I guess you never found them then???

too many good places in Ayrshire to count ant!!! Stevenson is the best place... great beach.... good grassy area....Look at the irvine flyers website... http://www.irvineflyers.fsnet.co.uk/

There is an area in EK that is big enough....... have flown there but never buggied.. about 4 pitches in size... will try to find it on Multimap and post a link

hmmm.. I've met a guy from Erskine at Stevenson a couple of times... he told me there was a bunch of guys who buggy at a park there....but can't for the life of me remember where...

jeez.. never knew they didn't allow buggying there... looks so good too..: have you tried stevenson?? by far the best place...about 0.5 hour - 45 mins drive from Paisley...great beach, great grassy area next to it.

I se you are a Paisley man ... what about the football pitches at St James interchange??? Must be one of the largest grassy areas in this hemiphere!!...it's huuuuuuuuuggggggeee!.. Or... the usual places..irvine, troon, stevenson...

My tuppence.. I had the standard lines on my 3.5 for about 4 months now.. they are now completely 'gubbed' fraying all over the place and in definate need of repair.... it's not as if I've mistreated them... just wear and tear.... Like I said ... just my tuppence.

Greenman?? Are you French?? Because your English is terrible.

hmmm .. something about Andy V's posts makes me think he is a Scotsman .... would I be right Andy?

They do tend to get in the way, it has to be said. From what I see, most fliers don't tend to use them. Like Andy says, I too use them when the wind is 'up a bit' ..saves the humiliation of running after your gear when you bail... saving time to make yourself look daft in other ways

I have a flexi 2001. Space isn't an issue. when not in use I store the wheels under a bed, I leave the frame complete, although I fold the seat completely forward (takes 1 sec). I store the frame upright (only about 8 inches wide at widest point) in hall cupboard. When transporting, it goes on it's side in the footwell of the back seat, can still fit one passenger in back seat like this .... no problems...
