Tim you might have better luck joining the Facebook" bailey  paramotors / engines owners group " .

 

Will do, thank you for the tip! 

Hi,

Just for experimenting with a home build fourstroke, I'm looking for a Bailey reduction or a broken motor including the reduction. Must be willing to ship to Belgium. Thanks in advance!

Yeah all things we all want. Which one of them are you not getting at the moment?

2stroke in combination with them silly walbro pumpercarbs is giving me zero reliability and terrible longevity. And how many pistons have been melted due to small problems with them. I'm going to mill an adapter plate and fit a pwk28 in an attempt to not have the constant feeling in flight that something is wrong.

Your statements about 2 vs 4stroke are probably correct if you talk about highly stressed, high horsepower applications. A 4stroke that's not pushed to the limit will last 'for ever', as long the oil lubrication doesn't fail.

Hi, im just curious what gap they are trying to fill with this engine? They are obviously not trying to save weight as that will never happen with a 4t. Noise? Not sure they will be able to make it much quieter than others. Power? Its not going to trump a 2t is it? Fuel consumption it would win hands down over the 2t`s but as with anything this usually comes at a cost eg weight.  It would be awesome if it ticked any of the boxes , i was just wondering what the goal was.

For me it would be, reliability and longevity, fuel consumption, smooth power delivery.

Tim Paul messaged me earlier to see if i was going to be at one of our flying club locations during this week as he will be there with said engine , but big possibility the day he has chosen is no good for me , current suggested thrust figures and fuel consumption with overall engine weight make it a game changer .

I'm looking forward to reviews and pricing (also parts. Almost bougth the V5 currently for sale here on the forum, but spare parts pricing and availability put me off at the last moment.)

Hi,

'Paranoob' on youtube has a 242cc EOS preproduction model to test!

try david broom at airplay see post above he is you best bet he was the last uk dealer.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. I shot airplayaircraft an e-mail and hope for a positive answer!

Thank you!

Hi,

The phonenumber is no longer active, so I guess that's it.

It's already  an expensive hobby, but not being able to buy spares really hurts me in my wallet...

Thanks for the input,

Tim

Hi,

Just a tad desperate, I'm hoping somebody here has some info. I'm flying a ciscomotors c-max 175. When I bought it used, about a year ago, I mailed them to ask if it's possible to order parts from them. They answered positive within a day. Now I want to do some maintenance and need parts but they don't answer anymore. Maybe they are out of business, but I can't find any info online.

TIA,

Tim

Hi,

I have floor heating at home. (If that is the correct term?) I just lay the wing down in the opened Dudek dewbag (I guess it's called that because of the mesh). 

Groetjes! 

Hi guys,

After lot's of reading, viewing youtube clips and comparing I finally decided on a Dudek Nucleon XX 24 (I weigh 85kg).

Tuesday I flew it for the first time (second flight ever) on a 40 minute flight. Instant love, easy to launch, super stabile. Maybe a bit fast on landing but easy to flare.  

The risers are a bit cluttered on the ground, once in the air it's not an issue.

Thanks for all the input!
