  • How I repair a paramotor after a crash landing. Obviously, every damage is different, but these are some thoughts about this specific type of damage on a titanium paramotor. Titanium allows for bending multiple times without cracking the alloy. Aluminum alloy does not have this trait, and will more likely than not crack if bent more than once.

    If you have grass stains a Tide Pen is handy too! Also, great for the toggles which, from...ummm...experience, can get grass stained when you land closer to Mother Earth than perhaps you intended.

    Great piece of advice about keeping dirt out of the harness.

    perhaps that throttle just comes with that flat mirror, but I sure do like a convex mirror instead. Much easier to see the tank with less "aiming".

    Great video, but Kyle, you should have made the student wait around and watch you / help you do the repairs.

    That was way cool!!! I like how that frame comes apart!!! And the Bendy Titanium. Ours are mini plane top 80’s. They have a fiberglass pole in a sleeve, that the webbing is sewn into. And it’s all one piece. They don’t come apart as easy as Yours ;0: Pretty Cool Unit Kyle O!!! ;0)

    Interesting! I didn't know that about titanium. I've got zero experience with it. I know aluminum pretty well, though. One extra push, and she cracks in two! Or, a little too much heat, and you've got an expensive puddle, LOL.
    Nice quick fix - can't mind that! Great tip on the compressed air. That's how I clean mine. I used to store it in the shop where I worked, but after grinding aluminum corrosion off a few wheels while doing tires, and grinding rust off of brake caliper brackets and hub bearings for a brake job, that cloud of crap ends up all over the harness. I store it in the old barn now that's attached to the shop, and keep a blanket over it now.
    If I could actually fly the thing, it probably wouldn't get so dusty. 😂

    As a mechanical engineer, this is not the best course of action.
