Dave24 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I get the impression that the top paramotor producers are (in no particular order): PAP RAD H&E Parajet Flat Top Fresh Breeze? I've checked their web-sites and it's not always clear which are low, medium, high or multi-attachment. I believe that Flat Top and Parajet are exclusively low attachment. Not sure about the rest. Can anyone shed light on this question? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramotormike Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Hi I think the following.. PAP..........................Low RAD..........................High H&E..........................Low Parajet.....................Low Flat Top....................Low Fresh Breeze.............Both Custom Air Cruiser......Low Maybe some of these have different options, but this is what I have seen out there. Added Custon Air, as it price is about £300 more than a Macro. http://www.custom-air.co.uk/ Cheers Mikey Edited January 9, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanman Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 How do you define low or high? I would describe the Rad as mid and would not consider it in a list with the others at is only suitable for the lightest user. I would also consider the Flat Top as a low/mid position (IMO a very sensible height) rather than a pure low. FB do low (Sportix), mid (any of their comfort bar machines) and a true high (any J bar FB) although even these aren't as high as the old type high hangers like La Mouette, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramotormike Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Well another way to to look at it is to see if your Paramania glider has to have the Brakes on the high or low setting. Not the most scientific way, but it does give a rough idea. I think the list still works for that criteria. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanman Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I've flown all of those except the Flat Top (mid/low) and the CustomAir (low) and the only one I needed to use the high hang point brake setting was the J bar set up Fresh Breeze. Mid hangers on low hang brake settings make for really good landing control authority. Give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramotormike Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 My old DK Whisper was high hang points. Had it converted to a Volution. When I used the wing for Paragliding, I was swapping between high and low, a real pain! Cheers Mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommcb6016 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I would wait till you get a few reviews for Rad before you include them in your list of possibles. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly these actively on PG wings and then yes it could be a pain to hold your arms up higher than a low system but these days most of us are flying hands off on reflex wings where most of the time our hands are free. Time has moved on and wings have become more tailored for our sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
