bignos Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 ive just bought yet another paramotor in my quest for the best for the fat bloke. But its throttle is a crap design, its got the cut off in an inaccessible place (its a 4 yr old fly products) i would like it to have - throttle with cruise control, start/stop buttons, isolator and low fuel light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_P Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Make your own from either a section of push bike handle bar, or a 'bar end' type grip off a mountain bike. A small push bike stubby brake lever gives you the throttle, and a little ingenuity, and possibly a mate with a lathe can custom fit buttons and lights. For cruise control, I use a largish 'o' ring looped over the grip that can be hooked onto the throttle. Moving it along the length of the throttle lever provides varying tension/throttle setting. In an emergency there is no restriction on gunning full throttle. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
learner_driver Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hi bignos what model exactly did you buy, which engine. Did I give you permission to use my money in such a frivilous fashion, PS parajet throttles are very lovely but no empty light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignos Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 lol, you sound like my wife!! she said 'you have only just sold one and you go and buy another!" its an old fly products with a 313cc engine thats "Engine Model- MZ 34 (313cc): This is the most powerful engine ever produced for Powered Paragliders and the most dependable as well" so i thought that i would buy it & fly it then decide if it was! and anyway i need to get flying again because good old walkerjet will not respond to my order for £600 of parts!!! how do you run a company like that?! any idea when i can have that xl harness? hope the old simo is flying up to expectations!

learner_driver Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I am at the airport bored - I will fish the Harness out later, when I get home, assuming we don't faceplant. The Simonini was lovely with the 122 prop - looking forward to noticing the difference with the 130cm prop which is at home. it purred along very nicely. Speak soon. the harness will fit no problem Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_andrews Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I took a shot at my own throttle. Got asked about it so I put some pix in my gallery. No cruise, but an O-ring would do. Have a look, cheap enough to tackle yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
