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 !!!!

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??
The total weight with full tank is about 70lbs (not including the wing)
