hodsonc Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 So I'm lucky enough to have moved into a house with a massive garage with plenty of space (but very dark) for my paramotor, all my gear, tools, workbench etc.. Previously I've had to rely on open-air repairs when I get to site or after flying etc, so I'm planning now to have a really well-organised setup to make checks and maintenance easier. What's your "must haves" and "nice to haves" for setting up a paramotor maintenance zone? Any great "life hacks" that'll make a big difference to ease of maintenance? So far, my ideas are ; A dual height workbench, one height for on frame repairs and one to do "disassembled" repairs like carb rebuilds etc. A tool rack A spares bin A set of screw draws A small wall racking unit for larger parts A wall mounted directional light A head lamp Two ropes for hang testing Anyone think of anything else?! Bonus points for photos of your current setup! Cheers all, happy flying, Charlie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin (Simon W) Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Decent nuts, bolts, washers, split pin, type rack for sure! Good lighting, a magnifying glass (random), heat shrink, electrical connectors, wire. The tools to use the above. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodsonc Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Ahhh, the devil is in the detail. Good advice Simon, as I'm finding that the "little things that go wrong" with paramotors require lots of little bits and bobs to fix 'em!
