Re: EOS engines 4 stroke prototype
It's your choice....but some pictures would be nice. I have thought about how to do it myself, but would like to make it more of a dual start if I ever get to working on it (doubtful...too many other projects). As for responsibility....it is ALWAYS the pilot in commands responsibility to check his o...

best place for used paramotor stuff

(top 80 is 50kg of thrust for comparison). some options are 4 blade props, which should increase the amp draw and give a little ...

EPPG1 design
So I am designing an electric paramotor...not sure why, I love my EOS150 powered parajet zenith, but I think an electric would be easier for those quick flights (possibly after works), or maybe easier to take along on a road trip with the family. no stinky gas in the car, etc....Or maybe it's that I...

Testing, and repacking my own reserve

I plan on doing more tests after each re-pack, and when I am confident w...
