Parajet’s Falco trike has a neat front wheel setup and has both castor and steering pegs. I don’t know if it is compliant with the sub 70 regs though.

AKAIK, they aren’t connected to the brakes. You wear them as cuffs on your arms and slip them over your hands whilst holding your bakes and throttle. 

Hello all,

A mate of mine has a Parajet 180xt motor and needs a new starter motor for it. Does anyone here know of a suitable replacement?

He’s grounded, so we’d be very grateful for any input re this.

Cheers.

Definitely 290cc Mark. It was a surprise to me too. 

It seems either the pilot or whoever connected the risers made a mistake and only connected one side properly.  The side that let go was only connected to the backup. The main connector is lying loose in the video. 

Getting closer.......

Exciting news... Can’t say anymore, but watch this space....

The competitors were told who it was. Nothing more. Hopefully, the circumstances will be released at some point, that we may learn from them.

Need some advice :

I have one of the first generation eos motors 

Who keeps eos150 parts in stock  , need a new pullstart, mine stop working (catching) over the weekend. 

 

 

Hi mate.

Robert Ferrero is a main dealer for EOS, a sound guy.

I visited EOS late last year to pick up my Eos150ici after selling my Bailey v5s. I asked about the ‘Quattro’, he said ‘11 units have been prepared for testing with selected, high hours pilots’. He stressed that to launch an unreliable four stroke would be commercial suicide.

I’m hoping it’s all going well..

It seems there was a fatality at the Icarus X yesterday. Such a tragedy. I was watching avidly as two friends were competing in this fantastic event.

Words fail when these incidents occur during a celebration of our sport and my thoughts are with the family, who are pivotal in their support of us with slightly odd and potentially dangerous pastimes.

Maybe but at least this idiot reads posts and NOT just re-post 8 year previous unsubstantiated drivel, and even without any new information regards said item.

And this idiot contributes to keeping the running of this Public forum. 

Sorry, I was laughing so hard, I hit the quote button and re-posted your comment. For that, I apologise..

Who let this idiot above in , Kick his RS right out of the door and as quick as possible 

The same person who let you in... It’s a public forum. The standards are very low..

So just the BHPA left.... FFS! No fly ins for me this year then...

I have the 2019 version. It’s a great little motor. I’ve put 13 hours on it in a few months after changing from a Bailey v5s and had no problems. Mines in a Zenith frame but also flown a Wasp frame with the 150ici. The Wasp setup is 6kg lighter than mine and was superb. I’m going to swap my frame for one ASAP.

I have them, I’m noticing that the sharp edges are cutting through the netting, which is a concern. I’ll take them off to see how it affects the torque. 

Thanks, the line is 6.5 meters, measured arm to nose

I have a Wasp Chasecam too. It’s really stable and takes up no room. The best for me though, is when set up correctly, it never hits the prop.

Thanks for the extra input Paul.

Hopefully they’ll sort it soon.. 

I wanted to get paramotor insurance for fly-ins today and went to the Axa site... que Family Fortunes X. That’s a no then... 

I know what changes were made to the coil and why. 

‘The old system was sometimes getting an inter TDC spark/s causing loss of power and heat problems on a small number of motors.

‘A simple part design change fixed it.

Could you buy the Honda cylinder and piston same as the Eos and fit it to a bailleys V5 ? 

You can buy a Taida head and fit that... You can even go water cooled...
