Paramotor Tips & Tricks: How to Install A Assists on a Powered Paragliding Quad

[@spot2be]

Would have liked to see an actual launch with and without the assist

[@Mazby2]

could you explain how it is possible to compensate the torque by making the attachments longer (3.01)? In fact you don't compensate that way the additional force of the torque, but make the trike yaw more. The yaw is due to the bigger force of the torque on the right side, if you make it longer it still exists???!!!

Thanks for the comment and taking the time to watch our videos! Have you ever flown a BlackHawk with a Velocity glider? That might help answer your question to actually FEEL what it does... Or have you ever flown a unit that torques to much you have to basically "weight-shift" in your seat to help compensate for the torque to fly straight without input? I originally learned and took my first flight in San Diego / Mexico on a different brand of motor and the torque was so bad, the owner/manufacturer of the motor was telling students to cross one leg over the other (weight-shift) to compensate for the torque in order to fly straight... The loop-within-a-loop on Velocity Paragliders basically does a minute shift in weight compensation and it is incredible how well something so simple works. When I first started working with BlackHawk, I wondered the same thing - "how does this work" and once in flight, I let my hands go and I didn't notice any "yaw" as you mentioned and was flying as straight as it gets. Try one of our gliders someday so you can educate yourself on how this works. "To see is to doubt, to feel is to believe." Blue skies my friend =) Rob, Team BlackHawk

Tell me, please, what is the name of the device for adjusting the automatic pulling of the wing? Where can I get it?

Hello and thank you for the comment. They are called "A-Assists" and we are the only company selling them. If you would like to email our office with your shipping address, we can send you a price quote. Have a great week =) BLUE SKIES! -Team BlackHawk SALES: [phone] OFFICE: [phone] EMAIL: [e-mail] WEBSITE: blackhawkparamotor.com/

So the A"s assist stay ON for the duration of the flight? Isn't it when you do it manually once airborne you release them ..no?

[@blackhawkparamotor]

The A-Assists just do their thing... They will help bring the glider up with ease and balance. Once you are airborne, there's nothing you need to do. They are the perfect length to not affect your flight at all, so there's no need to do anything with them in the air =) They are a great addition to anyone learning to fly a Quad. It makes taking off a lot easier. When I learned to fly a Quad, I really appreciated having them. They are so simple, yet so effective. Reach out to us anytime if you have questions about the sport.

Wow you never showed it working.

If you check out any of our Quad flight videos, you can see them in action. Typically on installation videos, we cover the basics for customers who have been through training, know what the A-assists do, and are assembling the unit they bought. If you have questions about how things like this work in the sport, give our office a call anytime. We're always here to help. 209-786-7899
