This is dangerous, what if the lipo batteries got over discharged and puffed and exploded i flight?

Gasoline has caught fire, too. Yes, there is risk. From the modelers experience, it seems the batteries don't explode in flight, rather they explode on charge if they're going to. Of course that's a risk, too, but then gasoline has been known to explode.

Makers are extremely aware of this risk and are building electronics to ameliorate it.

Putting humans into motion always involves risk. How much risk has yet to be determined.

@jeffgoin

Would it be able to run on lifePO4 batteries? that would be cool although the technology is new but alot safer and more efficient than lipos. You could charge them many times as fast without any risks or sacrifices.

@blackbelt1123
I'm not the designer but the motor doesn't care where its voltage comes from so yes, it would.

xxxstra nice job

does anyone know how much one of these would cost? because im interested in buying one.

You could get a reasonable paraglider wing for about £5-600, £1000 would get a really decent one. The motor about £1000-£1500 second hand. Training about £1000, this isn't compulsory but is HIGHLY recommended.

Cheers pioneer !
Nice video !

45 minutes!!!  not's possible?!

Depends on weight and wing. Wayne Mitchler and myself put 37 minutes on the ePac doing takeoffs and landings, finishing with at least 10 minutes of juice left. But we're bantom weights of around 150 pounds (I'm 145). A 200 pounder on a fast-trimmed, small reflex wing will get about 15 minutes.
