Dominicppg Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Looking for a new paramotor a few months ago, I asked about the Titanium Ultra 130. It would appear that not a lot is known about it in the UK. I eventually ordered one in October, direct from Air Conception in Paris (I'm currently in France). When I get to fly it, I'll let you know if it's any good. Basics are: Similar frame design to Miniplane (although in titanium) Engine is the Ventor 130cc Thrust is 64kg with 125cm carbon prop (claimed) Weighs about 21kg (claimed) Electric start only (dual start is an option) Price (with weight-shift bars) about £4,000 (converted from Euros) The power to weight looks good. However, the Ventor engine is an unknown to me, so I can only hope it's reliable. I will let you know how this goes and how easy/difficult it is to get parts. Waiting time was supposed to be 6 weeks. Recent e-mail says it'll now be January 8/9th at earliest before I get it. Unexpected delay is not a good start. They did apologise and offered to post it to me when it's ready. Just as well the weather's crap here in France. Will keep you posted. Dominic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurfBird Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I have been flying one for a year now and am very happy with it but I'm in the U.S. Extremely light weight, folds up small enough to carry in the trunk of my car and has all the power I need.

custom-vince Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I am the UK importer for AirConception http://www.custom-air.co.uk I fly the Titanium Moster version as I use it for tandems and love all the extra power. Still only 22kg all up but with 75-80kg thrust its a little rocket. [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]The Swan neck weight shift is the best setup and works perfectly.

custom-vince Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Claimed weight is accurate. The h-130 is the lightest at 19.6kg Ventor is 20.6kg Moster 21.6kg using the Swan Neck weight shift adds 1kg but well worth it. No torque effect and excellent weight shift with in flight balance. There is a wait time on the Ventor or H-130 (typically 6 weeks, a delay in this case) , the Moster is quicker and typically 2 weeks. UK Price including taxes etc £4295 inc delivery and with UK dealer support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominicppg Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi Vince. Good to know there's someone I can contact for parts when I'm back in the UK. Dominic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
