stuartasutherland Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hi, I think it does have electric start as it has lots of cables that I've taped up. Sent from my iPad using PMC Forum mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 It has an engine on and off and a sprung electric start / smoke system / whatever button, cleverly designed so that you can turn the motor on and off with your thumb but not start it accidentally with the same hand, it also has a nifty cruise control. I just bought mine but haven't fitted it yet as I want to ground handle the wing with it on to make sure it's not going to get snagged at all, can't see how it will but want to make sure before I fit it. Strapping it to my hand and playing with it though and I'm really impressed. Badger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo210 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks to everyone for replying, Basically, I would like to change the throttle on my Fresh Breeze Monster. I have had a few paramotors in my time and the FB throttle is a load of rubbish in my opinion. It looks bad, it feels bad. But I also think that the majority of paramotors use a throttle system that looks old fashioned and not very aviation minded. Some even resemble push bike technology. So to me, that is a good reason to try the Cameleon. It does seem innovated even though I have recently read mixed opinions about this throttle. The other question I have, the FB uses a Bing carb. Therefore, I would probably have to change the throttle cable on the Cameleon to accept the Bing. I have a spare cable, would this be easy to do? One last thing, I would like to ask Badger where he bought his Cameleon from? Thanks again, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
