skymad69 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hello everyone, This will be my first post.. I fly in South Australia I am flying a Airfer frame and a Polini thor 110, I'm wanting to replace it with the Polini 200. Is there any conversion/Adaptor engine mounts available to do this?? Is there such a thing? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hello and welcome to the Paramotor Club It may be worth contacting Parajet ( you have one in Aus ) I say that because they have options to have the same frame with either engine through there range, so either no plate is required, or they have a solve. I know nothing about the engines but thought this would help. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skymad69 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks SimonW, I'll get onto them and see what they can do for me. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenzoDV Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hello I have strange experience with Thor200 and "the same frame with either engine" (not Parajet of course but doesn't matter), make sure Thor200 is ~6kg heavier than Thor100, if you do not change arms mount position there can be some problems shown on video - [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Cheers, Nod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macey2kk Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The parajet frame has different settings on the arms according to pilot weight.... Just move it to suit ur weight... Just done the same on my zenith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenzoDV Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 The parajet frame has different settings on the arms according to pilot weight.... Just move it to suit ur weight... Unfortunately it's not so easy - arm's settings for different weight can change angle slightly - about 3-5 degr (not 30-40 as in video). If you look attentively on pic attached, movement of point 1 doesn't actually affect on angle of frame, which has independent hanging (2) - ( sure we are talking about modern paramotor scheme with moving arms - not fixed as in flattop). Paramotor should be balanced well (my old PAP has excellent balance). In my video point 1 adjusted in a last (60 kg) position - i'm 90 - as you see effect insignificant. Moving up point2 several cm can rearrange center of gravity to perfect condition, but it means changing of whole paramotor scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skymad69 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks for the replies, I have had a look at my frame and I think i'll buy a new one that is meant for a Thor 200, its something that should be 100% right or I/we shouldn't fly Decision made! Thanks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
