  • Reliability is a key advantage

  • 20 or 30 kg doesn't matter when you have a well designed machine. Currently, paramotors, whatever their builders claim, are basically the same. Just some welded tubes. You wear the whole weight on your shoulders. I work in a brand that imports a paramotor called Airgate Mantis. Its fuel tank splits the weight on your whole back.I am learning with a 20kg paramotor and I can swear that the heaviest (30kG) airgate is wayyyy easier to run with. You just don't feel the weight !!!!

  • your breathing isnt to good mate....

  • A similar flight on a Bailey 4 Stroke that uses 2 liters/hour would only need 4 liters (2.88kg) of fuel, resulting in a take off weight of only 36.38kg. When contemplating the weight of a Bailey 4 Stroke, the fuel load has to be taken into consideration, as the 4 Stroke is very economical.

  • There are currently many 30kg + paramotors available, most having a fuel consumption of 4-6 liters / hour. This means that when fuelling for a 2-hour flight on such a machine it would require the loading of 10 liters (7.20kg) of fuel, bringing the total take-off weight to 37.20kg.

  • But at least, are the 4 strokes heavier?

    Many people are apprehensive at the dry weight of the Bailey 4 stroke paramotor compared to a 2 stroke counterpart, without understanding the affective advantages of the design.

  • how about the real weight of complete paramotor??
