skybound Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) For those who are interested have posted some videos of our new Paramotor called the Spirit produced by Bulldog Paramotor's based in Oxfordshire on a old disused RAF airfield. The frame and harness are in the last and final stage of fine tuning before we go in to production which should be mid November.

cobra Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Clive, what will be the AUW of the unit, hange point options, final price? will you be stocking the polini engine spares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybound Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Hi Cobra There is another arm system we designed but we wont be rolling that out for quite awhile as it needs more development and also adds weight. Although it just looks like any other high hang point machine its not, you would need to fly it to fully under stand, and for the modern fast XC wing the set-up is a good platform. This project has been going on for more than 2 years now and so much work has gone into the geometry and ergonomics, I think this can been seen in the videos how well the machine works with you on the ground making the launch more controlled and confident. The current weight is 24kg with every thing included to fly, 15lt quick release tank. We hope to get the production version to 23kg but as the videos may show its built for strength so lightness was not the first priority. Currently the Polini option is £4250. We have plenty of Polini spares for servicing and all the tooling to carry out servicing if needeed and propellers , we are all so stocking the Polini recommended oil Motul 800 Factory line Road.

coggie49 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Clive Do you have a website with the "Spirit" listed on it. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybound Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hi David Website not live yet, once the machine is totally finished then we can upload photos and details. We will most probably have a launch weekend at our flying field where we can demonstrate its features and invite test flights. Thanks for your interest.
