Justin Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hi all, Has anyone got any experience with the SOL paramotor bag? http://www.solparagliders.com.br/detalhe.php?id=10 I have a Miniplane but I have to remove the cage & prop for transport & storage so I’m looking for a suitable bag to store/protect/transport my paramotor in. This looks the part but my main concern is whether the Miniplane would fit with the ABM active arms in place? If it’s not suitable can anyone suggest a bag that would suit the Miniplane with just the prop & cage removed? Cheers, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Vince have one for the Air Conception, if the AC fits, then I guess the Miniplane fits as well. Nice design, I want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Ah thanks for that Casper! It looks as though the Air Conceptions active arms drop down lower than on the Miniplane. I will have to measure the distance from the front of the active arms to the prop hub. I see the depth of the bag is 50cm. It would be interesting to know this measurement on the Air Conception if anyone has this? Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregwatson Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I have one for my AC Nitro but you need the optional quick release arms on the Nitro for it to fit. It's a great solution and it means I can leave it permanently in the car boot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall investigate. How does the quick release system work? Thanks, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregwatson Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It's really simple - the bolts that hold the arms on are turned round so they point outwards, the arms then slot on from the outside and are secured with a washer and large locking wingnut. Undo the wingnut, pull arm off, job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Sounds easy enough. Is that a recognised system or is it what you have created yourself? I’m sure it would work on the Miniplane. I must take a look. Thanks for all the information, it really does make a difference when you can pack it all into the boot of your car. At present I have to remove the parcel shelf & drop the rear seat down. It would be so much easier in a transport bag! Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregwatson Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It's an option on the AC Nitro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paraboost Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Just bought this bag for my nitro - interested to hear what you are all doing with fuel left in your tank? Are you syphoning it out or just blocking the fuel vent hose? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregwatson Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I leave the fuel in there but I fitted a stopcock on the breather tube so it doesn't leak out https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073XHPNKT/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Obviously it's very important you never forget to open it before you fly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
