Mantis Paramotor Overview

[@michaelmartin5942]

Perhaps think about increasing the frame size to accommodate a 140cm propeller. Also the fuel tank filler access is restricted. The cutout area for the starter is a brilliant idea.

This looks like a great paramotor. Good luck

Great job brother. Band of Brothers and Sisters 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Very cool concept! Will you be at the Bad Apples Fly-in? Don't care about cheesy but it would help immensely to get better audio for your videos. Good audio is nearly as critical as the video. Try a remote microphone located close to the speaker.

Interesting product here. I wish there were more videos of these in action. Very limited information.

[@stevelyons6739]

Very nice design.

[@BoredFlyer]

That’s a nice unit! I love your units crumple zone !

[@airforceparamotors3104]

Thanks. And the fall protection/crumple zone really works. If you come in hard and your knees bend to point of loosing strength the unit hit and pops you back up in the standing position rather than you go turtle and fallingback. But, it's not too low that interferes with running either.

Think I'm in love,just wondering how durable motor us.

[@stevelyons6739]

Any plans for electric power? How about a quad wheeled unit? Thx

[@kevinmcdonald1917]

I was thinking a flat top for my first unit. I will give yours serious consideration now. Would love to hear more about the Minari engine.

[@airforceparamotors3104]

I have a few videos on my Facebook page. I'll try and post one here soon. Minari F1-1 Pro As much power (but at lower rpm) than Vittorazi factory R. - Wider engine mount spacing - Better cooling - Way easier to maintain (everything accessible without dropping motor) - Exhaust and silencer tucked behind frame not sticking out disturbing airflow into the propeller. - Smoother/more linear rpm - Starter beefier with anti-jump standoffs so cord doesn't fall off pulley and go into prop. Minari is super reliable, easier to work on and the overall layout is just better thought out than most. Call anytime 602.620.8165 with any questions.

Kevin, have you purchased a paramotor yet?

[@kevinmcdonald1917]

@@videopokernetwork6824 No i have not done it yet. Between my cancer and now a divorce my finances are hurting. But I will fly before I die!!

[@bradbrown2168]

Easy pull start from back? Demonstration would be nice.

[@rlw5786]

Awesome design! You left nothing out. As an aged pilot, I sure would like to see a video on your trike.

[@airforceparamotors3104]

Trike delayed a few months. We purchased a 20 acre property to do flight training. Have been busy setting that up. Check out our Facebook page (AirForce Paramotors) for more info. Behind updating website as we add new products. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@ryancushman4970]

softeners need to be added at harnesses frame attachment points..

[@airforceparamotors3104]

Attach points have edges blended off.

[@michaelmartin5942]

Something you didn't mention in the overview - How is the netting attached to the hoop, and what are the black covers for on the hoop and how are they attached?

[@airforceparamotors3104]

Watch best paramotor to see the updated netting system.

[@bradbrown2168]

Lightweight weight Atom 80?

[@robertshahan3731]

Very interested In speaking with someone about more details. I was about to buy a gravity defiant this has got me rethinking my choice. What will be the starting price point with the 185 plus be? Are you excepting orders now? I'm literally going for my 3rd day of training Saturday. While there we are supposed to finalize my paramotor order would really like to hear from you if anyway possible before then. Or somehow get the company's contact info would be great.

[@airforceparamotors3104]

Shoot me a call anytime 602.620.8165 I can give you an overview and my thoughts of what to consider on other designs. Also check out our Facebook page (AirForce Paramotors, LLC) which has more details. I need to update the website.

[@hilo4noff1]

Nice, quit apologizing.

[@Marris.]

😁

[@flierbill]

I was just looking for more information on your Paramotors, I fly a True North Paramotor. Its, Light , 47 lbs dry, but fragile. I hope to see it at a fly-in one day.

[@airforceparamotors3104]

I need to update my website soon. But Check out Facebook AirForce Paramotors and there is alot of info. Call me anytime 602.620.8165 Actually with Moster they claim 55lbs dry which is possible but most are optimistic by a few lbs. If I put an Apco SuperLight harness vs Dudek and take off a few non essential items (most weight as stripped as possible) then ours would be actual 55lbs but much much stronger. The Mantis is definitely not flimsy. Nobody has bent one yet and people have hit hard enough that most other units would have ended in a bent cage and prop strike. That's where this excels. Geometry, comfort and strength to weight puts us at the top. I was an aircraft structures specialist for many years and saw many design flaws on many units. My active arms have needle bearings on all movable attach points. Most paramotor manufacturers don't even use a $2 brass bushing (only metal to metal on pin) which is scary. Love to chat. Call sometime We also just purchased a 20 acre parcel of land and have a dedicated flight school with a classroom, restrooms and camping onsite. Hope to be a major player soon
