guy, according to the type of wing that you have. a wing with more then a arch .will swing. more so according to the power.and wind speed. a pilot can minimize the swing. adjustments as needed. this swing effect. its not something that recently happening. I've mentioned this in my videos more then once. .goes in one ear out the other. the wing manufactures know about this.. and they will explain in there own way..? i dont work for any wing manufacturer. if and when I am interested in buying another wing. then they work for me.not vicer verser. if any pilot has problems with any wing the manufacturers will not like this! and my reply is iam glad ... then they should of got it right in the first place. as they keep saying they have there own experts testing the wings out. and simple things like the brake magnets not being strong enough to hold onto the riser block. simple thing like this but there experts didnt notice? and what else have they not noticed? geez iam no expert i notice things that are not right.. then i will say so.iam not here to please the wing sales man or the makers ever. if its a good wing then ill say so.if its a crap wing ill say so.

hi sorry iam late. have you a brand new spark plug? .that you can use? if so first check that it sparks.on your moster and thor. i thought you already had a spark any way? if you get a spark then proceed to the carb.as i have mentioned. quote lee reply " just checked well I ordered a new coil from Sussex paramotors. great service by the way". lee reply " fitted it I now have a spark but still wont start" tonyparamotor reply check the coil it may be faulty!!! see if it will fit the moster? or get it checked out? check the earth wire? on the coil?... if i remember 1/no spark.2/ brought new coil from sussex. it sparks.3/ all of a sudden it dont spark and done further tests. moster and polini. double check coil and earth? may be faulty or ask morgan to send another coil because of hes good service so you can check. its not another faulty coil.

hi. i know a pilot. same weight as you.. he flys a paramotor and because he's big. he uses a tandem wing.and hes harness i think he had made for him..he did have xl which was too small. and for the engine a bit more power a evo engine. because your big the wing will be big too.and its just practice and practice.youll be fitter because your using different muscles ... and while training there will be good days and there will be bad days.. but there's light at the end of the tunnel = your solo flight a dream that came true ;0) the pilot that i know is rob = gentle giant with very good humour

if the motor still wont start then double check cleaning the carb and gaskets. sometimes other people try cleaning the carb and they mess about with new gaskets and while fitting them they dont put the gaskets in the correct sequence. check for any holes?in gaskets.

Hi my motor is 185 monster in a pap frame my all up weight is 134 kg and my wing is a 25.1 m2.
hope you can help.
crafty 1 , first up ask the dealer or manufacturer. if the wing and type swings? then ask is there anything a pilot can do to minimise the swing? double check the brake line toggles too.for length. and while flying check. look up at the riser lines modulate the trims each time look for a bow in the line leading up to the wing.while adjusting the trims the aoa will change as the bow in the riser line will change hence. look and check. .if any brake adjustments made .and that goes for the wing tip line. 2/d steering. or single brake toggle riser like

just clean the carb. check fuel filters. better still. when first starting and using the prime bulb after a few pulls. take the spark plug out then look to see if any fuel is on the spark plug?

hmm i fly a viper 3 .and in my videos I've mentioned about the oscillation. more than once. ive mentioned about the unsheathed riser lines that can get tangled up..and to untangle them as mentioned by ozone you need to be an expert. but if i was a expert and spend some time to untangle the risers there's no way ill buy the wing. and ive also mentioned about the brake magnets being crap.i changed them over to gin magnets.which are stronger and far better. as i like freestyle flying. big ears. spirals etc. any way what i said got through to ozone.. and they came up with the ozone freeride. now depending on the skill of the pilot and what he's looking for the ozone freeride is the wing for me the freeride now has sheathed risers.better magnets easier for the pilot.. and in time ill has to save up to buy the wing.not at the moment as iam a pauper. better still get a demo on the ozone freeride. your the pilot whos gonna be flying it. ;0) up date the wing dealers are wing salesman .. full stop. pilots need to demo wings far more. but i know its a nightmare trying to get a demo on a wing that we have our eye on. pilots need to speak up about the faults in there wings.instead of selling the wings on ,in other words passing the buck. i know of a pilot who had a collapse. a well-known pilot.sold the wing on.never told the buyer that the wing had a collapse.and damaged. and that he made modifications to the lines.the buyer found out all this by taking the wing for inspection .the buyer also sent e-mails to the pilot who sold him a dangerous wing.but with no replys. i know who he is...... and the pilot who brought the wing know who he is...... " doberman 2" on inspection written down mentioning that modifications had been made. and made the wing is lethal.. more so after the pilot had a collapse.and had to use hes reserve???? = pass the buck.

hi ive read what you have to say. and without being rude. would you rather pay out for a new wing.. and just ground handle thats it. then i ask myself if your not going to fly the wings. and just ground handle then buy used ground handle wings.. hmm how many air hours have you flying a paramotor.?? no mention at all about using the wings for flying ..

hi from my experience. if your ever thinking of buying a new wing then always get a demo on the wing.. its like buying a new car youll never buy the car without testing it.? i wont. so thats my advice. every wing is different .just like every paramotor pilot is different. demo any wing before buying a wing. nothing to lose plenty to gain = knowledge ;0)
-
hi imagine buying any car that your interested in.and think the same way as buying a new paramotor wing..both ways youll have a demo before you buy..what have you got to lose?. nothing . gain experience on a different kind of wing. demo the wing your interested in. and learn *<|;0) while having a demo respect.the wing isnt yours its a demo wing. take it easy.get the feel of the wing.
