Afternoon all, i am looking for advice regarding the training and progression up to paramotoring. Ultimately, I want to fly paramotors but was considering taking up paragliding first. What are people's thoughts on this? Would you just go straight to paramotor? if I were to paraglide first could I purchase a wing that I could eventually use for paramotoring? Any recommendations? For me, paragliding is considerably cheaper in the short term however, I understand the limitations regarding suitable sites that I would be able to launch from. On the other hand paramotoring is more flexible in terms of launching and getting as much air time as possible. Would anybody recommend a good, cost effective paramotor setup for a beginner? Thanks

Agreed!

Hi hanks for the reply, yes I must get a pop off pressure tester for my engine as I most definitely do not want to wreck my engine. Do you have any recommendation as to where I could get a tester?

Hi thanks for information - I have had the carb apart for general servicing i.e. Gaskets etc. It seems to be running well - I have the high jet open about 1 1/4 turns and the same for the other jet / throttle plate - it does however seem to when I have started the engine and apply throttle it cuts out sometimes is this maybe because the mixture is too lean and I need to open the high jet slightly?

Hi everyone, i have a PAP ROS 125 and I need some help setting the jets on a Walbro WG-8 carburettor? Could anybody tell me how much the jets should be opened from fully closed? Thanks, Marcus

Thanks again for the responses

Thanks for everybody's input I have contacted Opie Ools today who have been very helpful and have several options for me to try. I have been lookin at the ROS engine manual who recommend using 140 SAE, however, when looking in the PAP manual it recommends using 75W-90 oil. Having looked it appears that SAE 140 is a mineral oil and the 75w-90 is a synthetic oil. I could also get a 75w-140 fully synthetic oil. Could anybody suggest which oil might give the best performance and efficiency? Thanks, mjmac

Hi everyone, i am looking for some advice on gear oil. I am doing a complete oil change on my ROS 125 reduction gear - the manual for this engine suggests that I use SAE 140 gear oil and I cannot find this anywhere in the U.K. Could anybody advise? thanks in advance, Marcus

Im struggling to find a rubber to match what I have - I may have to try a K&N. Having looked at the rubber between carb and airbox - the rubber seem to go inside the airbox quite far and this is the reason I am having trouble finding something that closely matches the rubber profile? Any suggestions?

Thanks for the responses - I will look at both options!

Hi Everybody, The rubber between the Airbox and Carb on my ROS 125 have perished - I am struggling to find anybody in the UK that would be able to supply the spares for this. Could anybody tell me if I will be able to fit a K&N Filter to this engine? Will it affect fuel/air mixture / be louder / quiter? Basically can I use a K&N air filter or will this cause issues with the engine? Thanks, mjmac

Sorry my mistake - I think this is obviously a clutched system.

Evening all, i have tried the pull start on my ros 125 and it doesn't seem to engage the prop?? Any ideas? thanks, mjmac

I have taken a photo - but it is too large to attach - my engine is a solo 210 and I am wanting to take the toothed gear disc off from behind the prop - thanks in advance

Thanks for this - I think this may help!

Hi Simon, Thanks for the response - I have sent an enquiry to Clive @CMParamotors. Regards, Marcus

Thanks ptwizz - Yes I think it might be best for me to just wait to find a tuned Solo 210 exhaust to save any complications. On another note, would you happen to know if I wanted to take off the flywheel (toothed gear) from behind the prop (I think it engages with the gear from the starter motor) it it simply a case of removing the prop and the part the prop bolts too? If I done this it would mean the belt would be loose, would I need to have this put back together by an expert, I ask because I assume the belt is tensioned up to a certain level? I want to take the flywheel off as it has become rusty and i want to get it bead blasted and treated to remover the corrosion? Thanks

Thanks Mitch - I have tried contacting Fresh Breeze UK quite a few times now. Have you any experience in fitting a different type of exhaust to the Solo 210? Thanks

Hi All, Would anybody be able to offer any advice on the following: I have a Solo 210 Engine with the original box type exhaust system on it which is in need of a change. I am struggling to get hold of any spares for this engine i.e. the standard box exhaust or the tuned exhaust. My question is - can I use an exhaust that has been made for another paramotor engine like; Vittorazi, Simonini or MInari etc. What would be the implications of doing this? Is it just a case of manufacturing a flange adapter for the change in flange connection detail from the Solo 210 to the new Exhaust? Any advice would be much appreciated? Thanks, mjmac

Hi All, I am a new member to this site and wondered if there was anybody who fly's out of the Northamptonshire area? It would be good to get to know anybody around the area. Thanks, mjmac

Great - thanks for all this information it has really helped.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry but I am not electrically biased - I am mechanical. When you say it must not be charged in flight what do you mean? Would the type of battery that you have recommended require recharging? Wouldn't I unhook this from the paramotor and charge it separately? Basically, could I buy this battery and use it like a standard AA (i.e. whenit has ran out It would need replacing? Any further help would be much appreciated!

Hi thanks for the reply. it will be housed in a plate fabricated to the cage - so it doesn't necessarily have to fit to an exact size. My main question was with the size of battery I should use. Do you recommend and suppliers / models that I could get in the UK?
