@@grantschulte7893 i can relate! with my gasoline engine i was running like 30 meters last week on the beach and that was with a nice breeze! almost hit the bloody pole. i caught myself jumping into seat way too early because i thought i should be airborn 20 meters ago. holding breaks down to get bit extra lift while my frame was almost touching sand. from the video i watch others took with mobile phone it looked like 10cm or maybe 15cm to hit the ground. and then i had to make a turn because those wooden poles came in hot. super close one. if imagine to fly a low thrust machine as this i would probably crash or abort launch. uuuhm or both same time. i admire his willingness to run a marathon just to show us how bad this thing is. 😅

this engine is as i said many times before absolute fantastic for youtube clicks. and with that statement all positive things i can say about it end right there. avery i am living in china as you know and we all hate that bloody POS because its soooo loud and we spend alot time helping the fellas who fly it to make last second repairs so he can join us for 5 minutes before we get kicked from the area because people always complain about the insane noise / or he crash because the exhaust fell of for the 286th time and broke his prop 🤨 if anybody plans to buy this i say: if you really hate your life and love to do unscheduled emergency landings, bleeding eardrums or the inside of hospitals - go for it and get one. 🔊📢📣🎧🤣

@@AveryFlies sorry for bashing on it. i think with a good more silent DIY exhaust system and alot changes on frame and machine this could still be a good thermal flyer due to low weight and the fact you can shut it off, restart it electric and continue to search thermals. but maybe for that i would rather get a used atom80 and retro fit a starter with a tiny lipo on?

It still seems like it could be a cool little machine for thermaling. You don't need that much run time. The drag shouldn't be that bad with such a small prop and cage.

I'm 73 and I find even the top 180 heavy. My aim is to use this light motor only to get hight to find my first thermal. Effectively a motor glider from flat land. I've not flown it yet I need some flat land. I live in the mountains of southern Cebu.

Well, if you haven't bought one yet, prepare to be disappointed. This frame is heavy- my atom 80 fresh breeze frame is the same weight, and the atom 80 makes a lot more thrust.

@@AveryFlies In any case, very good video, I have flown for more than 30 years with paramotors of that style, with direct propulsion propellers of only 62cm in diameter and they are really the ones with which I have performed the best flights, the simplicity, weight ratio, presentation and size, they are unmatched. A big greeting.

@AveryFlies

I would look at vortex aero. You can get a titanium frame with a monster 185 equivalent for $5k. The predator 212 is much heavier and does not have the same top end power, it would probably be a worse pick. This paramotor harness is kind of dangerous out of the box. If you absolutely have to buy it, you need to watch my unboxing, fixes, first flight and review. The noise is really terrible too. I can't let that go undiscussed. If I was a landowner I would not want you to come fly from my property, easily twice as loud as a normal paramotor. I urge you to look for a used unit. The Atom 80 or top 80 engines both make more power than this and are much quieter, I've seen used minipalne top 80s for the same price as this.

How long did it take you to glide down after the engine cut out? You have to include that in flight time for fuel burn purposes.

@AveryFlies

8 ай бұрын

I don't think that factors into fuel burns, the engine wasn't running. My goal is to use this in a climb and thermal when the engine dies, so I need to know how long I have until motor off, not including how long I stay up afterwards... Anyways, it was only about 6-7 minutes

@turkeyphant

8 ай бұрын

@@AveryFlies Of course it does. You're flying in non-thermic air so if you land at the same altitude you take off from, you must include it. Otherwise if you hadn't burned so much fuel climbing so much and allowed the engine to cut out at 10ft agl, you would have got more time out of it. Technically what you should do it so climb as gently and as little as possible to see how much time you can get out of it. But if you waste tons of fuel climbing to 6000 ft agl, the best you can do is factor that in by counting the time spent gliding down to take off altitude.
