Guest Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Im thinking about a new machine. Ive been looking at the Maverick (ive already got zenith and i do like the parajet guys) or maybe a PAP tinox with an atom 80. Has anyone got any recommendations? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMc Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I cant tell you anything about the PAP but I am the proud new owner of a maverick and from an engineering point of view it all feels like good stuff. Everything well machined and all fits like a glove. If I had to be super critical I would like to see the tank just a little shorter so it wasn't on the ground in the event of a bad landing. Im going to fit a motocross style skid plate under mine just in case. Also the fuel filler is in a proper twat of a spot. I am going to try and get a permanent funnel 3d printed.

Flypapuk Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Pap all day long, easier to assemble, slightly lighter, cheap netting if it breaks, stronger main chassis for butt landings, great back up service from the UK main dealer Your welcome to try before you buy Danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Is there anyone out there with a tinox? if so what do you think? Whats it like to get into the harness after launch? That was the only thing i found to be a pain on my old PAP. The zenith is really easy to get into the seat after launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching your thread with interest.... my other thoughts are a AC nitro or miniplane. The latter sound very cheap to repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My latest paramotor is a skymax with atom 80, I am 88kg & after 2 mosters & a nitro this is my fave thus far. 19kg & low noise/vibration makes flying a joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flypapuk Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 One of my Tinox Atom's is 19.4kg with apco split leg harness, the other is 21.3kg with the supair harness, The new supair has a pivot on the seat so it's easier to get in to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered what they were like compared to the moster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Just to say i went for the PAP TINOX in the end and i am very pleased. Its a really nice bit of kit and way way easier to put together and take apart than the Maverick which was my other option. The 2020 moster is a big improvement over my older model too.
