- Introducing the MacFly Moster 185 and MacFly Atom 80, along with a full demonstration of Complete disassembly and Reassembly
2:51 I state you can get a 5 gallon fuel tank, this is incorrect, 4.5 gallons is the biggest fuel tank you can put on this machine.
The Macfly Paramotor is a very high quality brand, designed with passion to be the best by the Alex Mateos & his Family. After winning several world championships with this gear, the Macfly Paramotor has been established as a great choice if you want to be a great pilot. This full titanium frame is built for students to become great pilots, also built for professional pilots to be the best!

The most chill reviews ever! Nice work! 🤙
Dewd,you show a pure passion for the sport,it shines through your being...keep up the awesome work my man,I smashed all the right buttons for ya!!!!
instablaster.
"SUPER " Dell would NOT approve ...............very nice set ups Matt.....and instruction.....
thanks!
When I can, I will buy that MacFly Atom 80. I love that set up !
I have a new atom 80 Macfly in stock now!
Great run down, I’ve just been in Oman with a couple flying them they look the business I’m going to get a test fly for sure. Cheers dude parafest this year?
Blaise Brogan yeah I will do Para fest if the weather looks good! I skipped last year & dont regret missing out. The year before was great I really enjoyed the parafest
Matt, I think I love you! 😜 great video!
"And she's pretty weak" 😂
She probably kicked his ass after seeing this video haha
Hi thanks for the Review nicely done . Could you please tell me the dry weight of the Moster 185 unit with harness? Thanks
Leon Alden 53 pounds
But, but, what about crumple and face plant protection🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️! Where’s Super Dell when we need him🤣🤣! Great job as always Matt👍🤙🏻!!
Junk Diggers Junk Removal who are you talking about? I’m glad we don’t act like that ever. Haha these are amazing Paramotors & if you want to fly really nice gear we can help, if you want some super gear from the past we can not help you!
Matt Minyard It was a Dell joke, how he’s always bragging about his crumple zone under your butt and how a Flat Top will save you from smashing your head🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤣! I know bro, he’s a trip!
Matt does have the pap tinox and that's got a air bag. Better than a super crumple any day.
@@rbrown782 this is true!
@@minyardmatt Is there another paramotor with a quick release harness other than the Flattop? I'm doing my research before I spend the money.
Great demo Matt, You are my hero. Funny line "And shes pretty weak" That was funny. But how could she complain when you were pushing the product ease of use. Nothing like an easy pulling motor. You didn't even slam other guys products Like "the Captain" And "the Superman" Just having fun. Actually I like thesupermans beach videos climbing up the side of a trailer like a Batman rerun. Seriously though the netting seems a little lax but what do I know. Ease of assembly I guess. Maybe its fine. I like the Angel paramotor video showing them playing tennis with the frame and netting. I like comments about cross country flying
Matt I own a Nirvana FFlight 200 and my wife has a FFlight 160. Can we get frames to fit our motors and approximately how much. Love the vids man!!
This looks like a very nice unit. My only concern is the netting. Is there an upgrade available? I would be worried about an errant toggle getting through the mesh, and into the prop. Is this unfounded?
Mark Rogers it’s not a big deal, the thrust angle prevents the cage from leaning forward. We can rig you up a custom net if you prefer an old school design like a fish net. This works great & we don’t have that problem, when you fly this machine it is an upgraded design in so many ways from a regular Paramotor, I can rig you a maverick style hoop to go over this cage if you want the old style net.
Great video... just curious what your opinions are about the Scouts?
scouts are pretty cool, just a little bit too fragile for me to have at my school!
hey matt
how much $ this good one cost?
Do those frames also have shims as well on the motor mounts to also compensate for the torque twist? I'm doing a motor swap on my air conception frame and putting a vittorazzi on it and I'm looking for ideas on how to help keep it fly straight through the torque.. my swing arms are also angled but I was told you guys use shims on the motor mounts for the vittorazzi?
No we don't use shims on the motor mounts, but of you have a frame with the wrong geometry you can try that to help. Thankfully we don't need to do that with our frames..
What would you recommend for me out of the 2 I'm 6 foot and about 185 and my elevation is about 1500 feet idk if that matters but I'm not sure what unit to buy
Yes the elevation plays a huge role in what motor to fly, ultimately it depends on what wing you fly.. i would lean towards the moster 185 for you.. if you want more advice please reach out to me anytime fly@paramotorlouisiana.com
I clicked on your training website but i did not see prices or any other details about your training format.
Thanks for the review! Anyone know the distance between the swingarms on the 185?
We can measure if you want but it seems to be a one size fits all up to 360 pound pilots at this point in time it has fit everyone who wanted to fly it. We also have made custom wide swing arms for anyone that wants to have it 6" wider but never had to use them!
Nice ending there with Nick going off the front. I did that once, going after some cat food. Owner didn't want me around eating all the food so I had to get creative in my exploits to keep from getting shot.
CA cawwww
Does the Moster 185 model have a clutch? Or belt driven?
it is belt driven & it has a clutch!
I’m 5’6” 170lbs what motor would you recommend?
for you i would first teach you to fly the atom 80 & also recommend it for all beginners, if the pilot is up to 210 pounds or a 150-200 pound pilot i would recommend the Vittorazi Atom 80 because its so simple & confidence building when you first try it. The motor is very smooth & silent sounding. Its incredible for new pilots, come out & try one of mine if you want to FLY@Paramootorlouisiana.com 3372300929
What's the weight on that atom 80 setup?
you can get the atom 80 macfly as light as 38 pounds, the one pictured here is 42 pounds
Matt, can you pull on the hoop and do a flex test to show how strong they would be during a forward power launch? I’d like to see flex test on the Parajet Maverick also. That would be a great video. Thanks
Tim Paul yeah we could do that but there isn’t much reason to do that when you know you can do a power forward inflation with both cages built of titanium the most natural thing is to fly it compared to pull on it, come visit us and you can get your hands on all the gear, I’ll do that in the next video but there is no Doug to have pulled on every frame I have in all directions to make sure the prop has plenty of clearance & I would never sell a Paramotor that has flimsy cages on it. Some people manufacture those but we make sure to steer clear from those brands because we don’t think they are safe enough to fly!
Could you show and compare the flex of the Parajet Maverick and Air Conception Race v2 also? I am trying to understand how much flex is allowable and how rigid each motor company compares to each other. Thanks
@@timpaul7907 We can attempt to flex the Parajet & the Macfly but i can tell you now that they dont really move much, they can be moved if you pull very hard, the standard i use is if i can contact the prop on the cage with minimal force it is a fail, you can not do that with these machines, they are very strong, we also do not have any air conceptions to flex so i cant help you with that. Do you have anyone near you to go and visit? It sounds like you should visit and get your hands on each machine to be sure you like it. Feel free to visit us anytime, you are welcome to do your own test on my gear as you like. I can assure you that these are all strong in the flex test. If the frames were not strong in the flex test i would not be interested in having them in my shop & i would never have bought them. I am not a fan of flimsy cages or cheap gear & i do not think i will ever have any flimsy gear in my place.
Matt, You are the Man. Glad to hear they are strong, that's great. Do you think the Skymax Star Paramotor is a good choice? I think the hoop strength is there but don't know how strong the frame could handle twisting considering all of those rivets.Thanks for any input. @@minyardmatt
@@timpaul7907 You cant really compare the skymax with this, the skymax is cool but a bit more flexible.. however you can save $2000 and have a skymax so some of my cheaper buddies like it, skymax ready to fly is about $5000
Mac Fly has an awesome product! What's the weight LIMIT on the Atom 80?
The weight limit is as much as you can fit in the seat. Same for all Paramotors.
I train students at 220# to fly with it, I feel like the climb rate is still working well at that size with an appropriate wing.
I have also flown a tandem with it
Does the titanium break rather than bend if someone were rough with it? Asking for a friend, I definitely never bash my stuff around..... :)
David Carroll I have seen some people bend it but never break it - just the cage ring section on the top, it really depends on the situation, I haven’t seen one break or split so I don’t know! I have seen a guy hit the bottom of it very hard a few times & it did not bend at all or damage anything which was impressive. Again it’s strong enough for teaching & butt landings without damaging it so we are loving it!
@@minyardmatt Yea, that titanium is very very strong, but I know one major downside to titanium is that it is more brittle than stainless, but I do know that most titanium is now actually an alloy that gives more flexibility than straight titanium. That's probably the case with the tubing that these are using. I fly a flat top I bought used, and I can say that comfortable seat on the macfly looked pretty inviting, I went on a short XC the other day and my legs were pretty numb afterwards!
David Carroll you can buy the frame anytime you want to upgrade to a nice comfortable setup
@@minyardmatt Step one to being a paramotor pilot. Find the credit card :).
I think when I'm ready I'll just buy a whole unit so I can have a new motor. Thanks for all you do for the PM community Matt.
I'm in louisiana and want to fly. Do you do lessons?
Yes you can find my information on paramotorlouisiana.com
Why has the atom got torque offset swingarms ? It's an 80 and you have weightshift swingarms that is more than enough to compensate the tiny torque it produces. Great video though.
It has offset arms because it should have them in order to keep the small pilots flying straight, this is one of the advantages of this frame, its designed to be amazing for all pilots, the 80 is special for training & i can assure you we are keeping these around because the students love them & we love the great results.
@@minyardmatt oh cool. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I currently fly the bulldog frame with the fly evo 100 and do t get much torque at all. I just assumed the atom would give less torque but now you mention it. It makes sense I lighter pilot would feel the effects more than my far arse lol.
@@justharryjohnson7250 every motor makes torque if it is spinning a propeller.
@@minyardmatt I would love to fly that little atom. I like the fact that we can fly with such a small engine. Just one of the things that makes this sport the best I have ever done.
@@justharryjohnson7250 yeah the 80 is pretty amazing, i was flying it on a 17 freeride two days ago, it was fun! we have done tandems with it, also have some 210 pound pilots flying it on a 20m carve!
One thing I'd like to see.... It would take very little effort to step on a scale as you're wearing these and other units then subtract your body weight. You use phrases such as "super light" which mean different things to different people.
Nice job Matt. Only thing holding me back is financing. Any update on offering low interest financing for those of us that want to buy new and get lessons? It's a lot to handle all at once and financing would speed things up. Thanks.
Like it like it a lot ...BUT... not keen on the huge gaps in the netting :-((
garyfreefly1 we can always add some net to make you happy, however this net is very strong & has been working great for us! We are so happy with it
I want to buy but I m from india
jayesh katara okay well email us when you want to order yours - we can ship & give us a call 3372300929 www.paramotorlouisiana.com
Cool machines. I wish they'd fill in those gaps in the cage though.
It would take about 10 minutes to add some more net to cover the entire thing, I like it the way it is, but if you wanted to cover the entire cage with as much material as you want you surely can do that.
I really want to do this sport but I cant help but feel priced out of it. It's just so damn expensive.
U already saved up to moneys? lol
Matt, this is Bill over in Tallahassee formerly from BTR. Cajun food! Miss it! Look, have you got a used 80 Mac? I'm 185. Thanks! My Frs. Brz. prop just mutilated my ass. Need lighter. I'm 70.
TODAY,.THIS MCFLY MACHINE PARAMOTOR CONTINOUS USE VELCRO CLIPS,...OLD FASHION,...MCFLY PARAMOTOR MACHINE NOT FOR STUDENTS,...MAY BE TO INTERMEDIATE PILOT -+ UP,...MCFLY IS THE COMPETITION MACHINE.....SPECIFIC,....SPECIFIC ,.... SAY REAL TRUTH MR.MATT,...THANKS
THE VAMPIRE HUNTER it works great for beginners, we always use it for beginners & it’s a perfect beginner machine, come out & try for yourself, I guarantee it’s a great fit for any new pilot in the world.
@@minyardmatt I PREFER PARAJET MAVERICK & ZENITH,..MORE SUPERIOR .OVER THIS MACFLY PARAMOTOR MACHINE ANTIQUE STYLE,....THANKS.
THE VAMPIRE HUNTER since I have owned several zeniths & Mavericks I think I would know each difference, that’s for your broad statement & these machines are all very nice so there all on the top of my list! What do you fly?
@@minyardmatt I FIRST FLY AIRFER & FLY PRODUCT,..I TESTED PAP PARAMOTOR 2 TIMES,..WACHT,.....FIRST I NOT SAY YOU SALES BAD PRODUCT,.NEVER,...I ONLY SAY YOU MACHINE MACFLY PARAMOTOR,... MAY BE THE COMPETITION MACHINE WITH OLD STYLE ,...NEVER SAY YOU MACHINE IS BAD PARAMOTOR NEVER ,..TRY TO UNDERSTAND ME,......MR. MATT...
@@thevampirehunter8965 Sorry Vamp but I gotta call BS on your comment... Matt's right these MacFly's are great for beginners and don't qualify as "old fashioned" by any stretch.
