I have exchanged a couple of emails with the EOS website. They claim, with their 2019 offerings, to have resolved the heating, ignition and fuel delivery issues a number of users have experienced.

My instructor suggested tabling my 'data dig' until after I get into the air, (start training next week) and actually experience the power of the engine options available. I am almost in between at 160lbs, (~73kgs) at fly from 2200' field elevation with summer density altitudes 5-6000'. But I did find a very interesting engine prop combo, the Miniplane Top 80 150 with a 140cm prop. This combo claims higher thrust output with lower noise. Would like to find people that have experienced this set up for their opinions.

Newbie here researching my first paramotor purchase. Have any respondents here reviewed the mod. 2019 version of these engines and formed any opinions about the new iterations? I am really drawn to the power to weight advantages of them.

This thread has not been helpful at all! lol I think about the weight and fuel burn of the M185 and immediately look at the my'2019 EOS 150 webpage. Then I read this thread and pause again, lol! My instructor say oh the Top 80 or Atom 80 will be just fine at 5500' density altitude but I just cant buy it. Someone please hit me with a hammer! lol So I think about the M185 again........argh analysis paralysis!
