The Moster 185 is pretty much the industry standard as far as paramotor engines go. It's been my go to for the last five years and has really served me well. If you have any questions about this engine, be sure to drop them down below! Also, I filmed an interesting episode last night where I came across a black bear midflight. Stay tuned!
P.S. This video was filmed before I got the new Freeride. 😉
Sup
I wont to get one of them
Hi!
Sub you amazing people
You are gay mate
New paramotor student here. Still practicing my kiting techniques in Week 1. Thanks for the inspiration!
Keep it up! It's incredible awarding (and scary) once you get in the air the first time.
Todays video was the clearest, crispest video i have seen yet. Wow, what a difference
@@lvsqcsl I'm middle-aged and as stubborn as it gets. There's no stopping me at this point. lol
INVU you are ahead of me I'm so poor I am at moment currently looking for an engine and I'm going to build my trike and my frame in the market for a cheap beginner wing
Hey how are things going? Into the sport yet? Liking it?
Damn must be a dream having a paramotor, being able to fly places you wanna go to, especially cos of quarantine right now.
It truly is amazing.
Until another guy flys by while sneezing over you
Ain't no 'RONA up here!!
@@TuckerGott my my my my my 'Rona on the DL, literally. 🌬🎎
Who's Rona?
Respect to the honesty and transparency across all your videos. It has really influenced some decisions I have made. Appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos.
Your words ring true. Appreciate the disclosure of sponsorship for this episode. I have the Atom 80 My 20 and so far, so good.
This is a very intensive video, just exactly what I was looking for, this will be my next one. Very well done..
Dude I never thought of anything this awesome and I can honestly say I’m going to learn to fly a paramotor thanks to you 🙏
Informative video, as always😊 Thx
That cow costume is 'utterly' hilarious. :P
Cowgirl.
Haha! Agreed! ! Love how she's sat there so casually like it's a perfectly normal thing to do! 🤣 Keep up the good work Jacqueline! (Following you on Instagram... 'Probably'🤔) Great shots/editing as usual Tucker! 😁✌️
Udderly....
Thank you for that awesome info
Enjoying most of your videos. I'm still very new into this sports, but undoubtedly it's lots of fun flying on paramotor. Thank you for very useful review on Moster 185 (I'm using Moster and much happier about it after watching your video).
DUDE! nice action on the khruangbin music!! Thank you for the info on motors
Awesome information, Tucker. Thanks for the video. :)
Been doing my P2 for the past month. Ordered a Kangook w/ a moster 185! Can't wait to start flying it!
The "cowgirl" always puts a smile in my heart!
Your vids are the best to watch ab paramotoring
The 360 degree camera shots are awesome! Keep it up, adds a whole new dimension to the videos!
Glad you are 1 million plus followers, hard to copycat your level of interest and time invested. Would love to try this after my Beech days.
I'm liking the quick uploads
Excellent video Tucker !!
Tucker Gott
Excellent review of 185 clear concise easily understandable. Great job you are a credit to paramotor understanding and help us who are counting the cost as we consider the way into paramotor fight and is that possible. Does Honda Kawasaki, or Yamaha make a paramotor engine or platform of some sort? Here's a considerable task for vlog: What is the best way into paramotor flight as a reality for a beginner, & how do I start what steps should I begin with? Do I need to own equipment first a baby steps entry or just dive in financially jump off the dock and learn to swim or in this case fly. What do I do to start with? Maybe this seems apparent to you buy not all of us live among your community and we definitely don't have your life experiences.
Thanks David
I need one. Thanks for the break down on all the changes. Really thought it was just the exhaust change.
Jaclyn and the cow suit made my day, kinda already know about 2 strokes & I think you did a decent job of explaining. Thanks.
If seeing someone in a cow suit just made your day you need to get out more lol
You are the best youtuber :) keep up the good work
I have a Moster 185 on a Miniplane frame. Agree with all your points, and would add one. When you do have to rebuild the carb, or change out even major pieces like the piston liner, it is doable. It's not a thousand step process that requires sending it to Vittorazi. All the directions are online. This means that you can buy one and keep it running a long long time. Fact is(I won't throw any manufacturer under the bus), many/most paramotor engines are really hard to do work on because in an effort to squeeze everything in screws and connections are super hard to access without pulling everything apart to the bones.
Great video and don't disagree with the conclusion - would have been great if you mentioned or discussed some of the other motors you have flown in comparison.
Super good video bro✌🔥❤
Hey Tucker, I just recently finished paramotor training here in San Antonio. I'm looking forward to the Moster 185 Fuel Injected release in 2022.
Your channel is the sole reason for my anxiety on CZcams, I just seen the collapse video from 2 years ago
It's okay, his BRS system would save him.
The Moster 185 is a lot like the LS I think, in that they have a huge standing behind them, there's loads of them, and theres even a pretty solid aftermarket scene around them.
Good stuff! I am waiting to see what the Cosmos is going to be capable of. I like the gearbox arraignment on it, much like the Atom80. Very Cool 👍😁👍
That’s hilarious, I literally just the other day went to see what is the top motor to look at, and this was the one $8500 USD. Not to bad. Now I’m happy you made a video about it!
Hey tucker, watched many of your videos. Excellent content!
Have you done a video explaining how you navigate airspace? It would be cool to know what apps and equipment you use and how you use VFR sectionals to navigate airspace. Thanks in advance
As the new 2020 engine has a Nikasil coating on the cylinders you must ensure that you use low sulphur content fuel. The fuel in Europe is pretty much all very low sulphur but there are gas suppliers in the US which have a high sulphur content. Unfortunately sulphur in the fuel will turn in to sulphuric acid in the cylinders and eat away at the Nikasil coating. BMW got caught out by this having only tested their engines using European grade fuel and then found they had lots of problems with vehicles sold in the US.
Ok the cow 🐄 onesie at :12 is adorable Jacquelyn.
Or should I say it’s “udderly” amazing. 🤣
I also use the Moster 185. Very pleased.
Have "your" motor but on a P2F Titan RS cage, amazing combo!
Just hit 50 hours on my atom. Only issue I've had was fuel starvation (my fault due to incorrect fuel line) and the starter sticking (the tangs are greased and they stuck in). Other than that rock solid. Still silky.
Tucker, I'm an "older" guy looking to get into "trike" PPG. I would like to know your opinion on using a used Ozone FLX.2, SIZE 18, as a ground handling kiting wing only. I want to become proficient in learning what lines do to the wing when pulled, and the reaction of the wing from that action. All before taking to the sky!
Thank you for your videos and your comment.
Tucker, I really enjoy your videos. The question is, how much space do you need to take off and land a paramotor?
Thanks
I love your videos
Hi, Tks for those nice Vids. I live in Thailand and would like to begin paramotoring.
Could you pls help me with list of advises, priority wise, and approx Costs.
What must have equipments,
Etc
Tks very much
When it comes to engines ive got a ros 125 thats been ported an with malossi carbon reed valves a forged single ring piston thats been gapped for better tolerances a yasuni carbon kevlar race tuned silencer a ceramic coated cylinder and running an e3 diamond spark plug yet to be fired up as need to set the timing up and needs tuning be interesting to see what thrust and performance figures it will make
Thank you so much for your advise on engines. Great video Tucker!
Where is your home base? I am at X49. South Lakeland Airport
Love your stuff, man! I'm close to jumping in. The Moster 185 plus is on my list. I wish just shy of 300 lbs. Can I still look at this motor or should I be looking at different class all together
Groovy! Pleased to note the Moster 185 has also been my paramotor for the past five years - in fact I've never flown with anything else, even during training.
Its like a good wife... if it isn't broken why change it out? Even if a person doesn't use/test/try another engine doesn't mean their insight is off. I would think anyone flying would know about all the engines out there. It was the reason they choose to go with a brand to start with in their research. Then using the fact that for 5 years their life has been great with the motor. I call that a perfect test time..
When you started using the moster 185 five years back, what wing were you using? If you had to guess, what was your fuel burn like and how was your flying style? It's always a tossup between the atom 80 and the 185. I don't know if I want to lug around that much weight with the 185. What was the burn like when you were on the atom 80 ? Thanks for your help.
Love your video
a bunch of wonderful Italians!
Did you know it looked like you were a bit shy on fuel when you started ?...... LOVE the view from your seat,... Farms? or LARGE LOTS ?..... good looking area to fly.
hi, tucker can you share the set up you did to have that audio going to you go pro ?
Tucker, what do you think about NS200 motor? (Nirvana tuned Mini2Plus) I'm considering the Nirvana Rodeo for my 1st paramotor after training. Thanks!
Have you ever tried one of the new 4 cycle paramotors. People say they have as much power and are very quiet. I would really like to hear from you
I've already done research and that's what I wanted. Just wish I could rent or lease one.
I have a fresh breeze motor and that sucker has ran for almost 10 years only thing I put on it was parts that I broke from crashing 🥵 a belt a spark plug and gas. What is your opinion on these motors Tucker?
Could you potentially have a semi-fixed paramotor wing? Maybe stiff light wire along the wing to stop it ever collapsing?
czcams.com/video/VOV-Fn4Iu6A/video.html
This guy tried a carbon fiber spar in his. I’ve wondered why they don’t make wings with inflation structure like kite boarding. Apparently partial collapses and rein flatiron is safer than having a rigid wing
Hey tucker , I want to do some mid day thermaling with my motor what do you think?
Loved it
What about the air conception NITRO 200? seems like a really good engine too
Love your Scout frame though, looks nice. One last thing on the Moster, what’s up with all those darn springs holding exhaust? Too many pieces to break. Recommend Nirvana, best trouble free engine made!
my Laser 180 four stroke motor has always had a nikasil liner . I sent one to Scout for ideas.
I've been watching your videos on and off for years.
First video I saw about them was actually your mcdonalds video;
First thought: That doesn't seem practical.
Second thought: I'm so going to learn to do that!
I was a broke ass student then, but now that I'm earning I'm definitely going to take this up. I'd hoped to learn this summer, but corona saw to that. Maybe the lockdown will ease in time, who knows.
Either way, thanks for the videos! :)
Thanks Tucker, I would like to see you try an electric motor version
Would love to see some use of the rotron UAV engines, 53hp 1000hr tbo, weigh almost nothing
Please, I'm trying to find a harness but I don't know which one to choose, they tell me that one of these three is Supair, Apco or Dudek, can someone advise me on these three?
Great vid, Tucker! I've got the Blackhawk Talon 190 3.0. Alot of what the manufacturer has engineered into this motor, it seems they've copied from the Moster. Not a bad thing I figure. Time will tell of it's reliability. Still practicing. Got out yesterday - only my 2nd time this year so far. Between work and wind up here, the time is few and far between, unfortunately. At this rate this engine should last me 4- 5 DECADES, LOL! 😂
How much was your motor and wing set-up?
Any issues with the new exhaust?
that 360 camera is awesome
did you tried polini? flying polini since 15 years now and had only one failure.
wild wild wild
I've noticed my my19 moster is getting more difficult to start lately... (10 hours on motor) Checked the spark plug and it looks good. I looked at the carb and noticed that my idle screw is pretty much all the way in. I need to adjust the low jet screw, but I'm not sure which way to do it... Any advice?
Screwing out allows more fuel in, screwing in does the opposite. Righty tighty lefty loosey. That said, I wouldnt adjust anything for a few more hours. My 185 was kinda all over the place for the first 12 hours or so, then it smartened right up. Bump the idle up a little, but I wouldnt adjust the mixture at all unless your spark plug is ashy or dark.
You first need to determine how many turns it is out and that is done by screwing the jet in all the way, counting the turns as you go, This is super important and don't use a lot of torque or you'll ruin the jet. If any adjustments are made, 1/4-1/2 turn out at most each time and see if you notice anything, but no more than that.
About how much for a complete set up? Out of curiosity
What is your opinion on the top 80
Lol Love that cow onesie!
Yeah JP, she needs a Pink Bunny Onesie. Very Cool 👍😁👍
Awesome 😎
which 360 camera do you use in this video?
I’ve done nothing note worthy in my life, yet this has called to me in the back of my head for years. I hope I can eventually gain the confidence in myself to try this someday. Maybe it would change my life...
You can do it! It is truly life changing.
Give it a shot, what do you have to loose. I just made it happen last month. Good luck 👍
Do you do your own maintenance on the engines.
Hi Tucker gott... I love your video. I wish I can do the same. I welcome you to Australia 🇦🇺
Question for Tucker or anyone else: Why haven't paramotor pilots ever petitioned the big 4 (Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki) to build a reasonably priced, completely reliable 1000 hour engine? If anyone could do it, they could. I'm planning to get into paramotoring within the next year but for the money spent there's simply no value. $6-10,000 is a lot of money considering the maintenance and reliability issues I've seen paramotor pilots deal with. It's ridiculous. I own 10 motorcycles (no joke, just click on my name), I hold a PPL and I'm a retired A&P mechanic so I wasn't born yesterday. I know there's a lot of brand loyalty out there and I'm not trying to stir up 'tihs' here but I guaranty Honda or the others could build a 2 stroke engine that would run circles around what's currently being used. They know how to build small, high performance, reliable engines, that's all they do. Thanks.
ZootSuitCooter paramotors are super light weight compared to most of the engines you mention and it is a relatively small market
@@duanetschmidt and Richard C, thank you for the replies. It's just that I've been a mechanic for most of my life and I've never seen an engine so overpriced as these little 2 stroke paramotor engines. There's no way, even considering development and tooling, that an 80-200cc 2 stroke engine is WORTH what they're charging. I guess it's supply and demand but it's a real turn-off watching vids of these things breaking down over frivolous maintenance issues in less than 200hrs. Throttle cables breaking, exhausts cracking, clutches falling apart, etc. These are petty, petty issues for any engine manufacturer, they're no more reliable than a $100 Chinese lawnmower engine from Harbor Freight. Again, thanks, that's my 2 cents.
@@ZootSuitCooter ....look at Blackhawk
In the ultralight area at Oshkosh 1980 a Yamaha factory rep was asked if the reason they were reluctant was liability concern. He laughed said "liability, we build motorcycles". So it isn't that.
There's a much more suitable engine on the horizon... But not sure the price point works just yet 🤣
TG, do you ever wear eye protection while flying? Ever had an issue?
what is the weight capacity for each motor? no clue. just asking for general weight categories.
What oil and oil ratio do you run?
How in the world did you know he had smoke on board!? That’s incredible
Any likes for the bailey 4 stroke motor?
I'm new to this been watching alot of your vids
Just a mild swoopie doop.....hucks a 180 autorotation and sticks the LZ with his eyes closed.
Jackie!
Hey Tucker , I have been watching your videos for a good while now. I was thinking what if the wing were made out of some sort of rigid material to prevent collapsing or if there was a way after the wing is up there some how some way of making the wing rigid to prevent collapsing . There has to be a way or a material that would work. Thats my biggest fear would be taking a collapse .
can u use a rotax 912 in a paramotor
Can I use the normal motorcycle engine?
Since paramotor engines ain't available in my county.
Tucker can u help me find a used. Rig
What is the tiny pixelated box that is showing up mid video? Is that a landmark that isn't supposed to be shown on camera? One example is at 7:18 on the horizon(right on screen)about 9 o'clock of your position as you move forward.
My brand spank'n new 185 is being matched with my new frame as I type (I hope). Anyway, it's due to arrive in about 2 weeks. There are probably as many opinions on break in techniques as there are engines but, any recommendations on the break in?
I would follow exactly what the manual says. Definitely strap your motor to a stand or a tree. I've broken in motors on my back before and it's torture!
@@TuckerGott Lol.. my back isn't in the best of shape to begin with so that's definitely a 'will do'. Thanks.
How do I inter the. Contest
Any comment on 2 vs 4 strike? Electric start? I weigh 250lbs, so expecting to use a trike/quad.
Two stroke is by far more popular. Estart is an option for this motor and if you're going to use it on a trike, I say you may as well get it!
Tucker Gott popular because of cost? Weight? Noise?
I want to do this so badly..
Uhmm, ever had a look at the failure rate on Icarus and what engine was at the heart of those failures? If you want to judge an engine on whether its the best perhaps good to work out the ratio of engine failures/completions.
Would you ever fly another brand such as Fresh Breeze or even the infamous Flat top? Tge Flat Top does use the Moster 185, the Fresh Breeze ofcourse uses the Simonini motor.
I would love to try both of them out but I can't honestly see myself flying either full time. 😅
@@TuckerGott That is cool, I do have the Fresh Breeze and like the Moster it is smoooooth. I weigh 165 and I beleive at one point you said your around 155. This machine shoots me into the air like a rocket!! 202cc engine and really quite. Mine is available for review if you want.
Hey!!! How much fuel is consumed in litres as if I go for 100 kms
Sourabh Rai it doesnt work that way because of windspeed and direction. Consumtion is per hour.
