Guest Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I must be missing something. Why the big downer of Parajet in the past few weeks? most likely because I am away. Or jealousy Morgy, of the 14 motors we have in spain 3 broke. 1 was a Bailey , 1 a HE and 1 a Parajet. There was only 1 Bailey, and HE and 5 parajets... I see that as good odds. I am getting a little riled at the Parajet bitching I have to say. ( have you ever flown one to criticise??) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I can only comment on the first Macro and i was 100% happy with my motor. I have since sold the machine to a friend and he is also extremely happy with his purchase. In my opinion you would be hard pressed to get a better machine and customer service from any other manufacturer. Jim and co at Parajet get 5 stars from me, cheers Alan.

slapper Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 If anyone does'nt want to pay the new prices and have to get on the waiting list, mine is for sale. done max 5 hrs, been back to Parajet and had complete overhaul with all up grades which include piston, crankcase pulley's, ect,ect. Cage unmarked and motor still in box after coming back from Parajet. In effect- Brand new and still under warranty. £3500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting a little riled at the Parajet bitching I have to say. ( have you ever flown one to criticise??) SW Hi Simon Nothing to do with jealousy or anything like that. I was just joking with enzo. I think you will find it was the others that commented after me that are putting a downer on para jet. But the 5 people i know that fly a parajet all have blown up in the past few months with the SAME problem.... They are being replaced for new motors straight away so yes very good customer service...One has had two new motors soon to get his 3rd in a sort space of time!!!! PROBLEM????? And to answer your question i have flown one (yours) On my demo day with you two years ago. I love the look of the para jet but i did not like the harness i dont think it fitted me correctly and i did not like the power delivery . I have also flown other's since.. Dont get me wrong Simon i am not slagging off Parajet I would be saying the very same thing if it was bailey. In fact i think i posted on here when i got my new v3 and was having an oil leak issue. I will speak my mind as i find. I dont think discussing a problem that one motor has or could have should be a problem or be blamed for slagging off a brand It give others with the same motor knowledge so they know what to look out for. What happend to the Bailey was it a v5 or older model ???? Edited October 10, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommcb6016 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 100% happy with mine, other than self induced cock ups I have never had a problem. And out of the rest of the people I fly with who fly a variety of different brands, the Parajet is by far the best build and safest (in my opinion) of the lot.

aquatix Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I dont think discussing a problem that one motor has or could have should be a problem or be blamed for slagging off a brand Agreed. I've personally witnessed a high number of problems on a couple of brand new Volutions, BUT I've also seen the amazing customer service in action from Gilo and the Parajet team in replacing and upgrading components free of charge and as fast as possible to resolve these problems. The design and build quality makes many other brands of paramotor look home made, and if the upgrades improve the (known) reliability issues then I would consider Parajet one of the best options for a new purchase. In balance, I've had a couple of issues with my Kobra paramotor in the last 12 months. Customer service has been very good but not as instant as Parajet (due to them being in Spain), and while any replacement parts have been free it has cost me more in shipping and taken slightly longer to resolve.

aquatix Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hope you've said as much in the survey Have done. I also know at least one Parajet owner who will give a glowing endorsement of the product despite the numerous problems he has had.

Well worth a look for anyone wanting a new motor. So is it back to the trusty old Pap for now Slapper ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
