AirForce Paramotor Mantis review

[@YankeeinSC1]

Happy to see you putting this out there Jayson! This is the best rigid machine in paramotoring!

most important point i couldnt hear: whats the total weight with full tank gasoline?

Good review. A few words from my observation. 1) Bearings on the front ends of the swingarms are unnecessary. 2) As compared visually with the wide and solid Scout anti-torque strouts (inventors of this techique) these "wing-like" sleeves look like a decoration. 3) The undercarriage part of the frame doesn't look convincing. It will certainly bend after a few bottom-down landings. What I like is the swing arms connection to frame.

Good review. A few things I noticed that could be improved: 1) You mentioned the fuel filler cap access, 2) The safety straps for the carabiners might be prone to wear on the non-radiused swingarm edges, 3) The paramotor industry seems to be going to larger frames to accommodate 140cm propellers. Otherwise, this looks like a solidly built/durable/good quality paramotor frame.

The arms are beveled and hand polished smooth. There is also triple redundancy there taking away any concerns of a hang point failure. Yes, the filler cap isn't ideal but not as bad as some other units. There is more clearance with the Vittorazi, but we prefer the Minari for several reasons. There are always compromises in any design but just not enough to warrant a redesign or custom made tank since the frame was pretty much designed around it. Minari changed to a larger, more robust exhaust, and that reduced a bit of hand clearance from their old exhaust. The frame can accommodate most engines, and clearances will change on various parts with different motors. Appreciate the comments.

Good review

What's the reliability of this motor compared to the Vittorazi 185?

[@bakpakaviators8847]

Minari is a solid engine very popular in Italy.
