Don't let my engine out discourage you about the fuel bladder. I pushed the limits on that flight, flying for a long time with a fuel system that I'm currently getting used to. I could feel under the seat and kind of see it coming but wanted to see how far I could get on that tank and how much fuel really would be left (it sipped it all). I sure was close to making it but I kept a high altitude and a field in sight. I landed within a 10 minute drive to my vehicle. Beautiful thing about paramotoring really - you would never push fuel in a Cessna 152 😆. With all of that said, you can see this motor is for experienced people only because:
1) Butt landings wouldn't be good for this frame OR fuel bladder (although I've seen propellers slice right through hard tanks)
2) Determining how much fuel you put in, your burn rate, winds aloft, etc are much more critical than standard fuel tanks allow
My flying buddy has hundreds of hours on a Skymax Star and loves it. No issues with the soft bladder fuel tank either if anyone is wondering.
Hey that's a different frame where the bladder is surrounded by metal. I used to have a Star frame as well.
This is crazy! i love the weight of Pulsar!! And the fuel system admires me a lot!!
Its awesome the dude looked after you and gave you a ride even after you sort of accidentaly tresspassed lol faith in humanity prevails once again
thats s great start for the new year, have a blast!
Looks cool. I love my Skymax Star Moster 185.
Have fun with it. Great video, keep 'em coming!
I love to see innovation...that is a great design for a paramotor!
Saw this machine the other day when flying with Mark and some of his students. Very sleek looking without the tank and extremly light compared to the maverick with moster 185 I was flying. I can see an advantage to something like this for a lot of pilots.
this looks amazing !!
Awesome video! 🙌🙌
What's a bit annoying is that there are several manufacturers that advertise a lower weight than this, however, when put on the scale their paramotors are actually heavier so it's hard to figure out whether this is one of the lightest paramotors available with an Atom80 if not the lightest. I wish manufacturers would stop lying.
Nice new toy.
It just seems ......bad. I'm all about trying new wings and motors but I'm not feeling this.
1. Way you fill the tank. Motor leaning. You can't see how much fuel is going in and thus can over flow.
2. Kickstand. Why not just leave it always positioned out
3. Fuel level in flight. I like the fact if seeing my tank with a mirror. The feel under the seat thing could be misleading I feel.
4. It's super light but in reducing weight it removed creature comforts
To each their own but I feel this frame is only good for someone looking to reduce every possible ounce for maximum efficiency.
Pros:
You gave me an idea. I usually put my stuff sack under my seat but I never thought about putting a fuel bladder for additional fuel. I have a 12l tank so if I ever wanted to max out the potential I could add a fuel bladder that would fit under my seat pan.
1. Needs a better method. At least have the fill port upright. Maybe a clear sight window stitched into the harness. I think a cheap electric siphon pump that screws onto the cap could work
2. probably. helps with walking since now you have a bunch of gas on your butt.
3. I like to be able to see it too.
4. definitely not meant to replace standard paramotors. This fits a certain person/flight
You can probably just buy one of these bladders and shove it in your seat.
maybe this, but screws onto the seat bladder. www.harborfreight.com/battery-operated-liquid-transfer-pump-63847.html?_br_psugg_q=siphon+pump
Which harness is on it? Not sure if you mentioned so sorry if you did. And if it’s something custom for the unique frame- can a standard reserve container be used?
Okay Santa. Can I have one please. I’ve been very good!
Sir make a video about backpack paramotor frame Desine please
Never heard of it
Going to Rumble, you should too
Is that like bumble?
Hey
Why you stop using airconception and what are your thoughts about them
Sold it to buy a very efficient paramotor - Top 80. I do like the Revo200 a lot though - power to weight ratio is great.
Woooooooooo. 👁👁
👍👍👍
Are these frames available in the US? I want just the frame
I think so.
haha EPIC
Didn’t they teach fuel management in pilot training?
Yes but paramotor pilots aren't "real" pilots duh
@@MarkHuneycutt Your funny - even for a “rotor grunt”🤠
@@moose7472 can happily say I never ran out of fuel in my helicopter
@@MarkHuneycutt yeah, that sure helps avoiding an F.E.B.🤠
Cool set up. What was the flight time compared to fuel amount??? What wing??? I need more info or I will not unsubscribe. But not like it. That is all.
I was on the pegasus 3. Not sure on flight time - maybe 2 hours and I'm not sure How full I got that tank with it turned sideways and the splash of gas. She was also running very rich being a run in
Mark where did you train?
I taught myself
Was it difficult? Started some kiting on my own and doing ok
@aaronbell5743 I didn't kite enough, so I took risks trying to force bad launches. I mostly made bad choices once in flight like thinking I could fly low on flight 3 and hitting the ground 😆. Be patient, master kiting, master kiting with the motor on, master comfort with power control, smoothly takeoff. Sounds easy, but I recommend training and/or the PPG bible
Any regrets on the self training? I'm finding it difficult to get off work the 10 days some places reqire.@@MarkHuneycutt
@aaronbell5743 no regrets anymore
That’s a horrible fuel set up…I bet you will spill a lot of gas on that thing over the years lol
