mjmac Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Morning Everyone, Has anybody fitted a different type of Exhaust to the Solo 210 other than the original 'Box' type exhaust and the Tuned Exhaust? Thanks, mjmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi k Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) If its an exhaust you're looking for just post in wanted section ? Edited September 28, 2016 by kiwi k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi k Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Also if fitting the exhaust you may need to know that the tuned versions of the 210 have a different head and carburetor, i'm sure if you do get a tuned exhaust the difference when fitted will be minimal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmac Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks for your advice! Could you advise what battery I would require for the electric start on a Solo 210? I have a solo 210 with the starter and wiring for the electric start but don't have a battery? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi k Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hi, on my solo when i bought it had a 12v 2.9ah lead battery, but since fitting a new starter even with jump leads it seems not to wind over the starter, but now i have a coil problem (new 1 ordered) so nothing works at present, but i'm still in 2 minds to convert over to 18v li-ion or ni cad batteries as should start easier will also save weight.

Bob Moore Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 First post here. Interested in converting to Liion as I've just been given a Solo 210 that hasn't been used for years and it has a dead battery (12v 3 amp gel) and needs a coil and a couple o bits which I have ordered. I fly paragliders, 500 hours but also fly RC models so already have 4 s 3.3 amp lions kicking about. Does anyone have info please about 'converting' to liion please. Is it just a question of changing connectors? I've seen a few posts saying the starter is designed for more that 12v starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi k Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Bob the starters will handle extra power as its only in short bursts, i have not flown mine since fitting a 18.5v lipo battery but it does wizz over a lot quicker, i have fuel line problems so air is entering the carb, my only concern which i will address is in flight charging on the lipo battery, possibly fit a switch to stop this from happening as they need different chargers. I did notice my starter body got a little warm when it didn't start but it normally starts fairly quickly, so hopefully back to this when fuel problems are sorted. Also gel battery weight 1.2kg and lipo battery .2kg so big difference. Can i ask who did you order coil of ? and how much please ? thanks Kiwi.
