No wind at the beach today so I flew my RC Paramotor. Thanks to Dazzz for providing the video.
The paraglider is a cheap chinese copy of the Graupner skysurfer. It has been upgrade to 35mhz Radio, brushless motor with a 25 amp ESC. and 1200MAH Li-Po battery giving between 25-35 mins. of flight.

Ok ... Motor is an Emax CF2812 with an Esky 25 amp ESC and a 7x4 slowfly prop. The motor is fixed to the rear of the gondola with tie wraps using the existing holes in the frame and the holes on the motor backplate. It is a very simple upgrade but the performance is very much improved. I have also added navigation lights and a strong led on top to light up the chute at night. I will post more videos as soon as I can.

Good flight control close to ground. Could you please give detaills on your upgrade (motor type and photo or close up video, if you have)? I still fly with the original brushed motor (radio upgrded to Spektrum dx6i) but sooner or later i'll change to brushless...
