Black Hawk Paramotor Sucks!! Powered Paragliding Tip!!

http://www.u-turnusa.com I've owned paramotor from all the major manufacturers. For those getting into the sport of powered paragliding paramotoring ppg powered skydiving I would highly recommend the Flat Top as it is the ultimate PPG on the market. Zero serious injuries or deaths have ever occured on the Flat Top but tons of serious injuries & deaths happen all the time with Black Hawk, Fly Products & others. Get the very safest and best quality PPG the first time, your life is worth it!! Obviously you can kill yourself doing anything and ironically sleeping is one of the most fatal activities but if you are going to live life to the fullest you might as well get equipment designed properly by extremely experienced pilots & engineers.

The Flat Top paramotor in the video is the way to go. The best pilots in the country all fly it including Team Redbull. It costs a bit more up front but the cost of ownership is lower in the long run because of the quality and durability.

In my experience, Flat Top Paramotors are the best.

The ELECTRIC START is a sweet perk with the Flat Top...

Black Paramotors are junk!! There is no after sales support at all.

End Result: black hawk owners quit the sport and rarely progress. From problems with poor quality to units self destructing when you fall and very poor training causing extreme fear and bad experiences it just isnt fun. Watch lots of youtube videos. Notice the awesome pilots and top videos are all of Flat Tops. The sport is great if you get the right equipment and training. Dont get paratoyed!!

Crooked: Bob Armond is a liar and a crook. The USPPA is totally bogus and promotes incompetent people as Approved Instructors. Stay away from the USPPA like your life depends on it because it does. The real organization is the USHPA. Bob and his USPPA has had so many injuries & lawsuits he has to disable the ratings and comments on all his videos or people would cream him.

Poor Mentality: Those that push black hawks dont care about quality and just try to move to the next sale as quickly as they can. People get almost no real training because none of the experienced pilots fly them or sell them. Watch other youtube videos and you just dont see any of the skilled pilots flying them. All the top pilots in the country fly Flat Tops so help for black hawk owners is minimal.

Lousy Performance: The cheap Mexican wood props are terrible for thrust. The black hawk is one of the heaviest units with the steel frame but puts out minimal power. They also dont optimize the props & reductions. They just slap anything old thing on there and motors run at wild RPMs. Even with less power they are far noisier than quality units.

Poor Quality: The engine, prop, wiring, materials, harness and construction are very cheap. The throttle is just a bicycle brake lever. The frames are super heavy steel but since they dont heat treat them after welding they break around the welds. The netting is nylon and has been know to get into the prop, get wrapped up and rip the engine clean off the frame.
