That’s why I fly a 4 stroke, Bailey. It’s heavy and not very powerful but it’s an early one but I always get airborne, it starts instantly on the button and runs like a sewing machine and I always get airborne but it can be a bit of a run with a 28 uni .the V-king is up in a few yards even in nil wind. I’ve had 2 failures both on a 2 stroke due to the walbro carburettor diaphragm. Yamaha were able to make 2 stroke bikes that you could thrash the arse off and they ran for thousands of hours, yet the paramotor engines can leave you in the crap at any moment. I won’t fly the 2 stroke polini anymore, it’s a pig to reach over to the starter and although it’s got the power, I found the Bailey once airborne gives me the same experience, a bit more slowly.

First two were worn carburetor membranes. Don't use ethanol if you can avoid it. The third was a bad design by EOS. That resistor has since been removed from all of their new engines now, so its no longer a problem. They were using an off-the-shelf harness that had other engine applications. The starter on the Factory R just blew up and damaged the prop. I suspect the damaged high needle was a result of flying debris, but did not reveal itself until a few flights later. The Polini was bad install of the throttle and the lead in the connector was "hammering" the needle and eventually weakened the clip until it fell off. I now have the correct throttle cable end, so there shouldn't be any more issues. Engine outs and forced landings will happen. Just be prepared to "paraglide" and fly in areas where you don't mind landing. My first Moster 185 went 144 hours before I sold it. Just the two engine outs on the first part of the video.

I went to training for 13 days, learned kiting, maps, etc then on day 14 some of us were cleared to take our first flight. I remember getting the wing up on a reverse launch at the beach. 7-9mph. I was kinda scared and then remembered what my instructors told me and turned and ran and all the sudden it was like I was a Bald Eagle rising and rising over the Gulf of Mexico and didn't want to come down. I hope you get to experience that. It's one of the most freeing things I've done, especially with a stressful job, I was able to finally do something alone and relax once airborne and cruising. Good luck to you Glen and I hope you get to do this. Oh, and I wouldn't watch any Tucker Gott videos. He is a fame chaser. Dude makes videos landing at McDonald's which is dangerous because of the car traffic taking their eyes off the road. He did one where he called an ice cream parlor and asked if he can order and come land and again dangerous for the civilians driving and getting distracted. He doesn't care about the sport and all of my instructors told us DO NOT FLY LIKE TUCKER GOTT. Been to some fly ins and I hear the same thing from dozens of others. I unsubscribed from him.

@andrewglobus main reason is production volume. Total paramotor engine sales globally in 2023 across all manufacturers is estimated at less than 3,000 units. It’s tough to justify the initial investment to sell so very few units. For example Vittorazi had planned on selling only 150 MosterEFI units globally for 2024. Having seen first hand the personnel and facilities/equipment Vittorazi has invested in the MosterEFI project over the last 5 years I would be willing to bet they are well into the millions of dollars. This is why EFI is only now coming into the paramotor world. It’s like anything in paramotors, development is very sluggish because it is such a niche market, a manufacturer really has to be careful about investing time and capital in something that quite literally may only sell less than 100 units worldwide

I’ve been flying going on 8 years now with well over a thousand hours on many many different motors and not counting running out of gas 500 feet from where I parked by truck I have yet to have an actual engine out(totally jinxing myself now) and I know a few people that have a similar experience but for most paramotor pilots this is not the norm. Pretty much the only way to make any progress in the market is to borrow from other markets, our current popular 2 strokes are scooter top ends with chainsaw carbs. The forays into 4 strokes haven’t really caught on as of yet but I have hopes for the Quattro. This is terrible for my job security but in realitythe sport needs a legit electric option with a good quality/well thought out chassis with good geometry and real world range of at LEAST an hour.

The question is: How many hours will the Polini perform well? It´s a real unreliable engine if you are not a mechanic, and it´s better to always have some spare cylinders in stock. These 2 stroke engines are simply not designed for changing altitude or atmospheric conditions. Carburetor settings are always only a compromise as long as you can´t adjust the mixture to the altitude by EGT. Polini only can sell these engines in significant numbers because there is no alternative on the market.

My 202 has a max rpm of 8500 in the manual. Maybe the older version would make 9000? Thanks for the kind comments!

This was also a durability test, 3 min at WOT straight is asking a lot so why I made the comment. Notice I didnt say what they're capable or rated for, just pointing out WOT over minutes is a challenge in general. I'm just about 120 kg full tank, I burn 3.5 L/hr consistently. I also have it tuned properly more often than not.

Agreed! I think WOT for 3-minutes is pretty hard on any machine.
