if you spend up to 5k on a new machine you would expect the product to be of good quality but some dealers (not all) sell motors then when problems occur become avaisive and tend to take a line that the new owner has done something wrong ! i am having mount problems at moment with a simonini mine 2 melting 2 mounts after one hours flying the machine has only 8.5 hours on it still trying to discover what is causing problem ie defective mounts or engine overheating some advise would be much appreciated about this and also how to deal with my dealer thanks neil

hi dominic bought the 2012 model which is now a 110cc as standard i am not a dealer just a normal guy learing to fly. the motr its self look like a top end motor the build quality is excellent the engine starts 2nd or 3rd pull from cold if you dont flood it that is , running is quiet sounds like a ktm80 motor cross bike . i am only 5-7 and 80kg ready to fly this thing rips me off the ground no problem in fact i have to really manage the power on take or it can get interesting on a standard wing i can give it quit abit more on paramainia revo i have had to press 26 flights half on HE120 half on the fly mecc and still consider my self a newby fuel consumption is around 2 to 3 ltr per hour but still flying steady at moment in flight very comfy could fall asleep on a long run . great machine for me but as you know the choice is vast my fly buddy has just orded a new too he has a pap ross 125 , only fault i have is hour clock as defuncted but its in hand with yorkshire paramotors hope this helps neil
