Guest Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hi and Welcome to the Paramotor Club. I am sorry that you have not yet had a reply it seems that you are in a bit of a dead area. I am just off to eat some food but I will then have a quick scan about for you and see who is closest to you. Again, welcome! SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jee6660 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hi simon, Im in the throws of building a paramotor and trike, But the only engine i can get hold of is a 110cc 4 stroke dirt bike one, Do you think this will be big enuff for it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hello again A trike, requires an NPPL (M) 'licence' to fly in the UK. I am not sure about the engine / your weight e.t.c but I would focus on the Paramotor build first rather than a trike build. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatPux Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 If a Parajet Macro needs a 175cc 2-stroke to fly an AUW in the region of 150kg, it's difficult to see how a 110cc 4-stroke is going to be enough for a trike, unless you and the trike are built very light!

Guest Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 That's about the truth of it to be fair. Foot Launch and we are as free as a bird (allowing for air law) of course. As soon as you add wheels, you need an Nppl. You can either learn in an actual microlight and then have the same licence needed to fly a trike (which is just bonkers!) that can happen, but exactly how I did it so now I can fly a Eurostar, a C42 and a Jabaru microlight AND my 'Powered Parachute' lol Like they are anything like the same.. OR You can learn on a trike (for about the same money when all is said and done) and then be restricted to only 'Powered Parachutes' (a trike) There are many people in the UK flying trikes and quads without a licence, but this is not recommended at all. Its one of those things that will be loads of fun up until the day it bites you in the arse. My advice, Learn how to foot launch first and run with that SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jee6660 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thanks simon, So do you think sunsoar are ok, like i said i had my trousers taken down the last time i got lessons so im very very weary about where i go, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Mate I have to be honest, there are only a handful of people that I recommend ( because I have met and know them ) I am not suggesting that they are no good at all !!! but I don't know them enough to be able to recommend I am afraid. Someone will pop up if they are worth a recommendation SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_6095 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Right Simon, so you are telling me you have a licence to fly a Eurostar? Like this one? How does that work? Can I have a go at flying it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
