gazgrace Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 ive got one recently . fibre glass body . Im new to them all but i dont think it would last long if you had a bit of an accident , but it easy to repair with it being fibre glass . I think i would rather have a one made of alloy but i got it now so will get my raket engine in and see what its like but this engine wont go in i have got to add bits ect to make it fit . if you lived close you could of looked at mine see what you think for yourself . i do have a load of pics though if you wanted me to post em 1 more thing , the hoop is only attached to the body with tie wraps .. me personally i dnt like that idea i like things solid . so i will be adding some kind of bolt structure in certain places to hold it so i know its not going to move .... Fibreglass is ment to be very strong and is used on some cars i just think some little mods could make it better I have the areodeck one but i dont knw if there is much diffrence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 It pains me to say this... But I loved the look of that 'frame' never liked the cage.. But now I know its made of chop strand fibreglass matt and gel coat it's put me right off thinking about it. Metal or Carbon Fibre for me please.

gazgrace Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 i agree but as i have it , i may aswell use it but next will be metal for sure !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 If it is hollow, you could fill it up with expanding polyurethane foam (builders expanding foam) This will make it tougher. SW D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bholleran Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I have just posted a new thread regarding the company I order my new kit from but as I previously mentioned it here I thought I should post a link here too. In short the company AIRKIT has taken my money (and others ) and not supplied the kit. see here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4987 and http://www.paramotormag.com/forum/viewt ... highlight= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
