custom-vince Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Those that know me on Facebook have probably seen the engine pics, many from Sergy and some of my own plus a few other from else where. I have been compiling a list that shows actual engine weight and actual thrusts where available and linking to a video of a thrust test. I will add more details as I find them. I thought about adding a manufacture link. Have a look, what else would you want to see and any engines that I missed off. I know there are a few engines to add, I hope I have got all the popular ones listed. http://www.custom-air.co.uk/Custom_Air_Paramotors/paramotor_engine_files.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawson Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 has anyone flipped from a Miniplane Top 80 to a baileys hornet 2? Thinking about it but would be good to know someone who has switched. Cheers, Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nforster Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Rob at Flyspain has both those paramotors with those engines I think the baileys hornet may be for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can come and fly mine if you just want to find out what it's like as it's up for sale.. http://www.skyads.aero/ads/bailey-matrix-hornet-2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinoV Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Fly F200 E, measured thrust 78kg 130cm 3-blade prop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark77a Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Miniplane with deeper 19/73 gearing, and 130cm prop gives a LOT more umpf than 50 kg - which, coupled with its lightweight is why may comp pilots use it. (only slightly biased - but gets this 95kg lump up in 2 strides ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Rubl Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 According to Polini official web site, Thor 130 weight is 13.8 kg not 15.4. Does anyone know the real weight? On the scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom-vince Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Yes, on the scales it is 15.4kg pull-start walbro carb version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a cheaper Chinese corsair or black devil clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dariuszk24 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Until you try,you want be know But personaly I think its save some money and to buy known brand paramotor-no need to be expensive with good service and available parts,than cheap paramotor without chance of service and parts received with defects after 6monts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No engine is perfect. As far as parts availability I have no experience dealing with zgppg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
