I’m 6’4”, about 210. How well would I fit in that particular ultralight?
@TheMainePilot 9 күн бұрын
Well I’m almost 6’2/230,you would fit but it would be tight against the panel,you could probably modify it and be just fine!!

I downgraded from 582s to 503s. Love the simplicity & can deal with less hp. Great video! Afew more camera angles would help but that's okay! Camera angle was good but you could've pushed it a bit more left. Great audio. No problems. I used a throat mic long ago. It's the best in clarity. Correction! You did have other camera angles! Sorry! I spoke too soon. Good job!

Nice video! Maybe you didn't get a stunner of a sunset but it was a pretty sky. The paramotor crew is hoping to fly tomorrow evening and if the forecast holds we might fly out over Biddeford airport on our way to Biddeford Pool. We launch & land at a turf farm 7 miles just about due west of B19. Maybe we'll see you up there. Not sure what your instrument situation is but we use a phone app called Gaggle. It has SafeSky integration (poor man's ADS-B?) and you can see where your buddies are on the moving map. Might help you keep track of Roger ;) It's by subscription but there is a free version that has almost the full set of features.

I’m constantly looking for a bail out,but I’ve yet to have any issues with this engine in 3 years probably 100 hrs,not saying it can’t happen,from my research most issues come from a fuel issue,like a cracked fuel line or bad fuel pump,all have been replaced yearly,engine was rebuilt this winter,I’ve coved all bases,if it happens hopefully I can get it on the ground safely,thanks for watching ✌️

@@TheMainePilot This was years ago. Ski-Doo. 2 cylinder motor, 2 stroke, each cylinder had its own carburetor. One carb decided to quit delivering gas/oil mixture. In a couple of seconds at 6-8000 rpm, that one cylinder and piston went into meltdown. The other cylinder and carburetor kept on producing power. If it would have had a manifold and 1 carburetor, the engine would have just died
