My thoughts on the Parajet Maverick & Atom 80

[@TuckerGott]

Although 20 hours in 9 months isn't a whole lot of time, I've enjoyed this little motor thoroughly. Stoked to put more time on her and share many more flying adventures with Jaclyn! Today is the final day for the Aviator Paramotor Giveaway! Make sure you get an entry in before midnight est for a chance to win!

[@572Btriode]

And Happy Birthday Jaclyn.

[@thatguy1306]

To the end also hope to see you as a grandpa still sending it 👍

Tucker Gott KZbin won’t let me post original comments. Have to respond to existing comments to say anything. Go to a motorcycle shop and look for universal saddle bags. They attach with Velcro and weigh less than two lbs if you get the canvas ones. Might provide some better cargo options for rigs with less than favorable pockets.

[@Onlyone10184]

Tucker Gott I see what your saying but the scout is also 1000 dollars more even with the moster 185

Hey Tucker I finally got around to this one. I'm currently in Dunnellon training with Judson and Micah and I've been on a atom 80 the whole time. It's been good to me.

[@shannonwhitaker9630]

@Robert Eshelman, I've heard a lot of good things about the Top 80 through the years. From what I gather both the Parjet Maverick with with either the Atom 80 or Moster 185 cost about the same price ($7500). This begs the question as to why.

[@markblankenship745]

maybe a recommendation to Maveric, I would make the zipper go from top down as apposed to bottom up. This could allow the operator to unzip slightly as to not lose other items in the poudh.

i agree about the parajets pockets, pretty much useless in flight, i use it for tools and my wingbag if i have to land out and thats it. if i have to carry something i need in flight i use a lap bag thing i bought

So the pockets are "useless " but you use then to carry stuff? What about the under seat pocket?

@@PredatorParamotori said useless IN FLIGHT. I dont put anything in the one under the seat cus in winter or when the grass is wet water could get in.

@@mark675 I guess I assumed you were flying around with those things in the pocket, not just using them for storage on the ground.... my bad

[@mark675]

@@PredatorParamotor ah ok, the tools and bag are in there all the time, maybe i should make it more clear, i mean useful while flying as in being able to access the pocket in flight (food,drinks,phone etc) without everything falling out, the main problem is the pocket zip is slanted so when you unzip it everything just wants to drop out, if the zip was at the top and horizontal then this wouldnt be an issue 👍🏼

You aren't kidding about how quiet that Atom 80 is. When you went to launch the first time I was "When is he going to start it?". Even at power it's pretty darn quiet by comparison to other motors so that in itself would be a pro especially if you wanted to take video footage with audio.

[@EYELEVELAwakening]

[@iamoverthelies637]

Bought a paramotor and wing from the dark web, here’s my review. Wing is called “straight out of India” it’s basically woven nylon bags made in Mumbia sweat shop. Sort of flies, kinda bad, but dude, it’s more sketchy when you actually get off the ground cos the thrill of feeling “I’m about to die” is a rush u never forget. Motor is called POS, weighs 120 lbs, the manual says “old school light” so that’s cool. It’s a marine outboard motor turned upside down and super sketchy prop made out of bamboo glued onto it. Yeah it’s ugly, and to be honest, won’t pick up the chicks at the local fly-in but hey, ya gotta start at the bottom of the heap. Anyways, big shout out to Steve Sketch and Billy Binsmoknweed!

That pocket should zip open from the top down, not bottom up, and then only 1/2 to 2/3 down. As it looks to me, the bottom of it is opened right away, leaving anything inside unsupported in high winds.

[@nustada]

If you are primarily interest in cross country, is the atom 80 or moster 185 better? The later uses more fuel, but could go faster. Also about using more fuel, if you are up to speed and lay off the thrust would there really be much difference in fuel consumption? I have a route that I want to frequent about 120 miles.

[@duanetschmidt]

Ground speed is determined by the overall weight and the wing. The motor just provides lift. However, a more powerful motor will usually offer a faster climb rate.

You should do a comparison video between your Atom80 and Hudson's Top80.
