There must be a few paramotoring manufacturers missing a trick. I fly a PAP Top 80 and would gladly lose my 400f/min full throttle climbs for an ultra-compact and super light unit that develops enough thrust for launch (I rarely use full throttle!) and for max 100f/min climbs. The idea being that the unit could be intergrated or developed around free flying and the better handling characteristics would allow higher profile, more efficient wings to be flown. I would love to try my Rebel on power but find my motor far to cumbersome to have any real attempt at thermalling. If it were developed to be suitable for more experienced flyers then the cage could be made out of plastic and other weight saving methods used as practicle. Less fuel too. Any suggestions.
Radne Raket 120 super light super quiet. I have 1 just for that reason. Its on a air conception light weight frame. Mine has been 120 hrs no motor outs. I've had to replace a few pull cords because they are very thin. The atom 80 is also a good 1 but weighs the same as the radne with less power. I think sound wise at idle the atom is a tad bit quieter, however full throttle they're about the same.
