The passenger is lighter but once you add the weight of skis, boots and winter clothing I think it was about 290 or perhaps a tad over in additional weight. Even on the 28sm K2 it was no problem at all. I'm sure I could take far more weight than that with a normal size tandem glider or at lower altitude. The Flat Top SUPER has well over 200 lbs of thrust. It is amazing. At Beach Blast I did 15 tandems on one day. The Flat Top tandem setup just works awesome.
The flat top paramotors look really well built! What i am asking is is it possible to buy a flat top paramotor that uses the new Rotron 294cc wankel unit? From my understanding they have started deliveries of that engine, so coupling it with the flat top is all that would be needed from you to make the truly best unit on the market!
If the combination is possible (or use some other rotary unit that i don't know about yet), i will contact you by email for further arrangements.
Hi, yes I've watched the Rotron closely for possible use on the Flat Top but actually it is over 10 lbs heavier than the motor in this video and puts out LESS thrust. It also costs tripple and parts & service would be very difficult to get. I would highly suggest using the tried and true motors. Now if you just like the idea of the Rotary then go with our 50hp XR50 unit as it is totally proven in the racing industry. I don't see any benefit at all to a Rotron yet.
awsome video ,hopefully have the 200 and cima k2 in june ,cannot wait.

The standard Flattop is the only paramotor that any one should need. Great performance and very well built.
