A paramotor is a flying machine that literally lets you run into the air and fly like a bird. Very simply it is a paraglider propelled by an engine you wear like a backpack (paramotor).
The paraglider is really the "flying machine" the paramotor is what propels you through the air.
Here are some random pictures I took while building it.
It came in what seemed like 100 pieces...
Unlike other paramotors that have the fuel tank on the outside, this one has a fuel bladder that is sandwiched between the frame...
I chose the Vittorazi Moster 185 for it's power and good reputation for reliability...
Initially the engine didn't fit so I had to modify the engine plate.
While there are some paramotors that have electric motors, most have 2-stroke engines because of their high power to weight ratio. This engine puts out about 25hp which is impressive for it's small size.
Adding the primer bulb and the fuel filter...
The propeller and the harness are on...
Ready to fly....
Hope you enjoyed :o)
