20 Rules of Flight (Modified for PPG)

Taken from here: http://www.airparamo.com/ppg/rules/ 1.Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory. 2. If you let the throttle out, the houses get bigger. If you push the throttle in, they get smaller. That is, unless you push the throttle in and pull on the brakes real hard, then they get...

FL Recreational Land Use Statute.....how we can legally fly on private land

Florida has a very well written recreational land use statute that basically allows anyone to use most private property for recreational purposes, and holds the property owner harmless from any liability for injuries or damage caused by someone using the land or just being there and getting hurt. So...

How powering up early screws up your launch....4 failed attempts today

at 46 flights now, I am still fairly new, but I was on a role on my A rated Ozone Mojo power (have not missed a launch in many flights)....Today was my second flight attempt on my new-to-me Niviuk Link B rated glider. It is smaller, and different, and I may have learned some bad habbits on the mojo ...

Re: EPPG1 design

Coupling the motors just adds to much complexity, and weight, while not adding more air affecting area. Area is king, so more props are the better choice.....going for 6 motors. still figuring out the mounting , but I got the overlap stager figured out. I am ignoring the hoop right now, next goal is...

Re: EPPG1 design

preliminary thrust test results match what is expected. 4 blades gave about 20% more thrust, but the amperage went up as expected, (in the 60s, and very hot motor). I will update with real numbers soon. The real question is what to do with the paramotor. 11kg x 4 is less than a top80, and with the p...

Re: EPPG1 design

Next step is the motor test stand. Need to see what these motors can do.....i didn't have one, so i built one from stuff i had laying around and some drawer slides from the hardware store.
I had most of the electronics put together from a previous ground vehicle project.

Re: EOS engines 4 stroke prototype

The digital ignition mod sounds good too....I just looked on amazon, lots of options for motorcycles out there. I assume you used an off the shelf unit? or did you make something from scratch?

Too many projects, not enough time

Re: EOS engines 4 stroke prototype

Wow, nice work on that. looks very sturdy.

I noticed a 3 blade prop. I have yet to try one, how does it differ from the usual 2 blade? what are the benefits and downsides? I know some people seem to like them a lot.
