Does anybody know if any other manufacturer uses the same siliconised cloth that Apco uses for its wing construction

Oh My god isn't she beautiful

I am just reading AdamJedgar response ....Hey thanks for the input but I couldn't disagree more ...I have always flown weight-shift and apart from a few test flights with high hang points in which I just didn't feel .....the feel ? ? if you get what I mean ! So I will probably always continue to fly weight shift they just suit my style of flying, I Likke them ....I can weight shift on the trike just as well as I could when foot launching it only weighs 13kg ...and unfortunatly foot launch isn't a option anymore due to a accident 5 years ago I am just glad Ive sorted the problem out now and can look forward to some epic days paramotor flying again

Don't know ? I have perhaps taken a drastically unothadox solution and at the cost of quite a few pennies ! But the result is I can now fly safely both props turn the same way and use the same size helix props both weight shift ....one engine 25hp the other 30+ ...so around 5hp more but a totally different flying experience I am sure its not just down to the Hp anyway onward and upward proplem solved

Ive now sorted the problem 100%........ I have now found the solution to My problem I Bought a new Pap Moster stuck it on the trike and Boooooom it now flys straight no twist no worries sometimes it pays to get some one who knows all there is to know about paramotors to do the job correctly especially when your life depends on it

Much better solution than a trike ???? why is that nowt easier than just opening the throttle I don't even enjoy the odd face planting these days

Hey thanks for the replys rest assured I won't be shortening any brake lines ! No the frame I am using is supposed to be for the mini 2evo it was bought from pxp in spain direct.....its not in the pap chassis the off set (( according )) to Mr PXP is correct and it is built into the frame ..on the pap you can flip the arms over to alter the offset but on the PXP the arms are straight and its offset is only on the frame ...and as I sit in the harness the longer offset is to my right perhaps I can spacer out the arm more to the right ( if thats the direction I need to go ) i.e. with a longer bolt of course but I could do with knowing which side needs to be altered ? I am not sure and as it stands its pretty much un flyable

ok as I am sat in the harness the longer offset on my frame is to the right and the propeller is going i.e. spinning behind my head from my right side to my left the confusing thing at least for me is do we look at the front i.e. from the harness or from the rear from the engine ???? like I said before the whole paramotor was trying to turn me to the right hand side very badly it carnt be anything to do with the wing as its flys ok with the pap and is fine when the Evo is off the power ....

Hi all any info would be gratefully recieved I have been flying my trike which is a weight shift type ( i will try and insert a photo ) with a pap ros 125 engine for a while now and because of a wing change I decided to get a bigger motor so I now have a simonini mini2 EVo in a PXP weight shift frame sopposedly built for a evo2 engine its blisteringly quick on the ground during testing However on takeoff I was not very happy it veered dramaticaly to the right ( trims neutral apco lift ) I had to weight shift as much as I could possibly do i.e. hanging out to the left and also pull some left brake not what I wanted to do as I was waiting for it to spin ......I managed a very nervous circuit and landed people seem to be giving me different advice and I am aware of only one thing my head is about to explode i thought I knew sorting about torque but Now I am just confused so if its viewed from the harness side of the paramotor i.e. looking into the seat the engine is a belt drive and its turning to right i.e. clockwise the frame has a longer offset to the left which is supposed to stop the torque ............whats going on is the offset on the wrong side or have i got another problem once the power is off the drama stops and all is as it should be one thing is certain until I get to the bottom of the problem I won't be flying it again ..as I reckon I was very close to a visit to a hospital

The BHPA s insurance will cover you for a trike if you have a licence to fly one ....al la... PPLM for example

PPL M and raring to go ( its just a pain with all that wing reg number stuff )

Paramotor frame wanted 1450 diameter low hang point money waiting Gari
