- In this video, I show you how to side mount your paramotor reserve*. It’s a very simple process with some particular points you need to pay attention to.
Ensure that:
- Your reserve bridals are on top of everything, NOT UNDERNEATH!
- You can reach your reserve handle once mounted
- Once the handle is pulled it will release the reserve from its container
- Everything is mounted correctly and double checked

This is the first video of a new mini series I'll be publishing on how I prepped my equipment for the British Open Paramotor Championships 2020. We start with how to side mount your reserve then we’ll build a map board, test fly everything and finish up with efficiency & speed data collection.
* A paramotor reserve is a vital piece of safety equipment and should be checked by someone with knowledge and experience of reserves. Carry out this installation at your own risk.

Superb information well presented!
Thanks man, hope this series inspires some other pilots to give the comps a go this year
Top vid mate. Useful.
Cheers Nige, hope the series get a few people interested in the comps 👍
Great video as usual Dan, looking forward to the next in the series. One thing though, I'd recommend a hang check with it before flying if possible. (Not easy where I live.) My story : I modified a reserve container from an old machine I had (ha ha, Solo 210 😉 ) to side mount on my Miniplane Top 80. First flight with it mounted was on a day that was rough as rats as it happens! Anyhow, when I'm paragliding once in the air I always do a familiarisation reach down to check reserve handle. First time flying with a reserve on my paramotor so I reached to check handle and quickly discovered that I couldn't reach it easily even though it appeared to be in a great position when I did the job in my garage! You need to be able to do it without stretching. 🤔 Yours looks a bit low to me, but maybe you've got longer arms than me! 😉 So as I said, I'd recommend mate that the very very last thing you do when you've finished a side mounting job is, if possible, do a hang check to see how well it works when sat hanging in the harness before committing to the air! 😏 The other consideration is whether you mount it throttle side, or the other side. I chose the latter. I guess it makes more sense.
😉 Ps the flight on the day I mentioned was just 6 mins long. Mega thermic, I landed, it was too much for me! 😮.
Great vid Dan, i do like your Maintenace type videos. Looking forward to seeing more! Good luck in the prep for the championships 👍🏻
Thanks Craig, I'll be doing a few maintenance videos on the Atom as and when it reaches it's milestones! Next competition video is now out - czcams.com/video/3iSjumuh42s/video.html This time we're making a map board
Good luck in the Championships, looking forward to watching!
Hey Andy, thanks for the kind words! The championship was back in August so just catching up on editing these videos, it was amazing fun and learnt a lot! Be sure to check out the highlights video on pinned comment on this video. Full length one should be out over Christmas 👍
really good video Dan! Looking forward to the rest of the series. See you at Winglands soon!
Glad you enjoyed the first one, Second one is now out! Check it out - czcams.com/video/3iSjumuh42s/video.html
Looks like Wingland is on the cards now lockdown has lifted (Sort of)
@@DanielJonesParamotor Looking good for this weekend...! Fingers crossed!
@@skatez69 you’re right you know! Might have to have a sneaky outing 👌
Lots of little details, hidden in there and thanks for taking the time to put a useful video together. I still like my underseat reserve ;)
Thanks Giles, hopefully it'll help others even if they don't intend to change their reserve about for a mapboard.
Nice one Dan , i might go for a side mount when i fly my trike but it is fair to say you must be more mindful of accidental deployment on your launch .
Its definitely got its place, I quite like front and side but because it takes ages to change between the two it tends to now stay side mounted.
hope this makes sense but when you remove the string through the closing loops if you pull the string so it is under the yellow closing pin and then pull it out it puts even less wear on the close loops that's what we do when packing a skydiving parachute. hope this of some help to some one
Brilliant piece of advice!
Hi, good info Daniel but's what's your mention of the BHPA insurance scheme as to what rating you have ?(CP etc) as I take it to be as a paid up member of the BHPA we are all covered ???
Cheers.
Hey mate, so depending on what rating you have gives you a ‘different level’ of insurance. It’s all 3rd party but breaks down as follows
In training - insured only when on a paid lesson with a BHPA instructor
Club Pilot - insured at a range of being able to see the airfield (used to be within 2 miles)
Pilot - Insurance from anywhere the BHPA covers
Hope this helps 👍
Another great vid Dan can you tell where I can get a bulldog mug and t shirt 👍
I believe they're only available to Bulldog owners, but if you buy a t-shirt and a mug you'll get a free paramotor with them 😋 If you're flying one I'd get in contact with Clive Mason, he seems to be the lord of the mugs
@@DanielJonesParamotor thx ban I have a bulldog and I will chat to Clive👍👍👍
Have you tried to throw this while doing a hang test to see if it works properly? Be interested to see how easy it is compared to front mounted.
Haven’t thrown it as such but can reach and pull the handle in flight. Hoping to do a zip line simulator throw/ repack day at some point for the experience 👍
Thanks Daniel, Is there a live video to see how the reserve parachute opens in the air?
Well... this was some foreshadowing 😬
@@DanielJonesParamotor I hope you'll never need it, but I'm curious about its use and effectiveness in an emergency. Have you watched a video of someone using it?
@@imguvenc 4 weeks ago I used this exact reserve in an emergency situation, it's arrived back to me today along with my glider that had to have serious repair.
To use: pull orange handle to get it out of its outer container and then throw into clear air as best you can.
Effectiveness: it saved my life.
@@DanielJonesParamotor Thank God you are still alive. I didn't understand why you wrote foreshadowing because you didn't give any details last night, now it's clear. It has been a wonderful and at the same time terrifying experience for you. I hope you are psychologically well now.
@@imguvenc it's been a rough 4 weeks but hopefully I'll find out tomorrow evening if I still got it 🤞
