Parajet Maverick Paramotor - EOS 150 Unboxing

[@justharryjohnson7250]

Hi Matt fitting a prop round the wrong way won't make it fly backwards but it will reduce thrust by ALOT. I had a friend who did this. He still flew but climb out was terrible. I spotted it and he spun it around and was amazed

[@ncsjumper]

You are right.

[@phDJOlogy]

Awesome. Nifty cage. Sexy exhaust. I'd love to see a detailed EOS 150 vs Vittorazi 185 comparison. Apples to apples measured thrust, weight, maintenance schedule, temps and throttle response.

[@minyardmatt]

Dylan Matlow moster is much more powerful for the few extra pounds it is extremely stronger & better for heavier lifting. The eos 150 is very smooth and powerful but not to be compared with a moster, it’s comparable to a 130cc class engine or a nitro 200 engine for power but much smoother & nicer engine quality - for example look at the CNC engine cases as a standard compared to a lower quality casting found on some engines

[@phDJOlogy]

@@minyardmatt Thanks man! If the exhaust system doesn't need poked at as often as some others it sounds legit to me. Nitro 200 umph is decent especially if I lean up more.

[@minyardmatt]

Dylan Matlow I don’t know anyone that pokes an exhaust. What’s that all about

[@minyardmatt]

Dylan Matlow you don’t do anything to this engine except add fuel & pull the starter rope to fly it! As simple as it gets

[@patrickfain9318]

Simple enough! I love the Dudek Powerseat Comfort!!! I just installed it on my Miniplane! :) thanks Matt

[@mikefogle5874]

Where did you get the seat for your Miniplane? Thanks

[@RonBesse]

@@mikefogle5874 skysportsusa.net sells them. I just bought a zippered pouch from them to replace the side mount reserve pouch that came with my Parajet Maverick. I use a front reserve and wanted two zippered pouches. Super fast shipping too. Hope this helps, Ron.😎

[@Robbo1966]

This is an absolute excellent vid. Great job thanks for sharing

[@104thMaverick]

Thanks for this dude, I'm planning on buying one of these this year and this video really helped relieve a lot of anxiety about getting it set up!

[@minyardmatt]

104th_Maverick great! Holler if you want some free advice!

[@jcjustin923]

@@minyardmatt Do the EOS 100 and 150 have the same bolt pattern ?

[@Retired_MZ]

I was surprised you didn't check the spark plug gap. Nice looking machine.

[@minyardmatt]

Mike Zimmermann it’s hard to do t all on camera, within a short period of time. We however cover it all before we fly

[@larrykorell750]

Nice narration and video Matt!

[@larrykorell750]

nicely done Matt!

[@kootybear]

Should use some window cleaner to help with net install, works good installing window seals and might assist with that

[@minyardmatt]

kootybear thanks I’ll try that! However the net ring must fit really tight or else it would fall off!

[@kootybear]

@@minyardmatt the wwindow cleaner just evaporates after a bit and it would be like it wasn't there

[@turkeyphant]

The best thing to use is nylon-tipped pliers.

[@BobThePilotN4WFH]

Good video Matt.

[@finflyflounder8125]

How heavy a pilot will this lift? Great video by the way.

[@minyardmatt]

A Moster 185 will lift up to 600 Lbs at least it does for me. This 150cc motor is no good, it's discontinued now

[@danny-li6io]

I’m drooling 🤤

[@minyardmatt]

You should see what we do now!!

[@JohnnieV]

Just went gliding. Since gliding ain't really an option in southern Louisiana I must learn to paramotor. 7 day class? Where can I get schooling info in south LA?

[@minyardmatt]

See John Vlog paramotorlouisiana.com

[@murdockdacoon2055]

Good vid bro, very pro. What's up with the extra hole on the carbon fin cooling shroud? Early models didn't come with that.

[@minyardmatt]

murdock dacoon I have not asked the manufacturer about it, this one has some upgrades from the model I bought last year, but all minor details, nothing major that I know about has been changed.

[@loums52]

Nice video...beautiful unit. How's the back protection between the engine and back of harness? any plate, carbon board, etc. in case of accident?

[@minyardmatt]

Lou Serrano on this model the titanium frame is very solid and flat behind your back, nothing poking out to to hurt you, the bottom of the frame is very stiff and takes an impact extremely well, in testing & real life accidents the frame has passed every crash test you can imagine and held up very well. This is such a strong mix of titanium alloy which is why it’s one of the most popular paramotor brands in the world. You can come visit me anytime & drop mine as hard as you want on the concrete as many times as you like. It won’t hurt my feelings or my gear. I love heavy duty gear & that’s all I buy for my school!

[@loums52]

@@minyardmatt thanks so much for the reply!

[@DeepakSharma-wc1gr]

How much does the cost..?

[@glennmobley1771]

Hey Matt, awesome videos. What is the difference between zenith and the maverick and what would be a good set up for someone 270 lbs? Thanks

[@minyardmatt]

Glenn Mobley a good setup would be a moster 185 for you on a tandem glider or a 34-40m glider

[@glennmobley1771]

Matt Minyard Thanks for the reply and what is the difference between the maverick and zenith? Thanks

[@minyardmatt]

Glenn Mobley well the zenith has been around for awhile & is aircraft grade CNC aluminum - super strong & with a moster it’s about 65 Lbs, can be anodized any color & fits in a suitcase. The maverick is relatively new compared to the zenith, it’s parajet a latest creation & is also super strong but lighter weight with high grade titanium alloy so it is much lighter, ready to fly about 53 Lbs, has a custom painted hoop & swingarms anodized, it’s good for travel, but takes a duffle bag over a suitcase. Both units fly very nice, strong cage if you fall over, has anti torque, nice weight shifting attachment points for the wing. Totally high end machines & attention to detail is pretty remarkable on parajet & they are know to be high end & most people end up with a maverick these days because lightweight motors are easier to fly!

[@glennmobley1771]

Matt Minyard You are awesome. Thank you sir. That was the info I was looking for. I drive a truck and am looking for something that travels well, but is good for a noob. Peace brother

[@paraspective9196]

Howdoes the EOS 150 compare to the Top80?

[@minyardmatt]

paraspective the EOS 150 is much better in every regard than the top 80, I have owned both & the top 80 was my first engine.. call me if you want to discuss it anytime I’ll be happy to explain it with you

[@paraguy4135]

Hey guys, looking into buying a paramotor a bit down the road. Just curious about motors that can come with the maverick. I'm about 6'1 and weigh around 230. Just dont want to get too small of an engine and not be able to climb fast enough. Thanks

[@minyardmatt]

get a moster 185 & you are fine

[@7224kbw1]

Do one on the Falco

[@minyardmatt]

buy one & send it to me!

[@greg26e]

Great video! Can anyone tell me the height of the Maverick? Cheers

[@rolloverriderpgr]

Now that is a setup that'll fit on my trucks seat! Not long to put together either. Is that the only size engine or can it be ordered with an 80 or 130? But I don't think the 150 will be too big for my 120 pound butt! Just faster launches on the elevator. What's the dry weight and cost. You can msg the cost to me. Blue Sky's and Safe Journey's!

[@minyardmatt]

rolloverriderpgr send me an email [e-mail]

[@romansokolov9496]

Cool!!!

[@shaynemckinlay6406]

11:38 The cap would that go around the front on the pulley? Will it contact the prop if it was to come off?

[@minyardmatt]

Shayne Mckinlay no it’s tied on with a string so if it comes off it doesn’t go far away & will be there when you land

[@junkdiggersjunkremoval1404]

Does anyone make a 4, or 4.5 gallon tank, that actually fits without rubbing?🤷🏼‍♂️! I know that someone has them for the trike setup, but I haven’t seen anything for these.

[@minyardmatt]

Junk Diggers Junk Removal yes we have the large fuel tanks on the macfly 10-12-18L tanks, the 18 will hold 19L so it’s plenty of fuel!

[@junkdiggersjunkremoval1404]

Matt Minyard Thanks bro!! I’m strongly considering the MacFly 185 ✋🏻🤤🤚🏻! Most likely in the Spring time, or very beginning of Summer. And the MacFly 185 can support an 18L tank as well?! I’ll definitely give you a shout when I’m ready, so you and I can set it up!👍🤙🏻!

[@minyardmatt]

Junk Diggers Junk Removal yes sir that is why I am the macfly importer for the USA, bringing pilots the highest quality gear to fit every need! Glad to help you anytime, I will personally setup your motor & make sure it’s perfect for you. You will see why everyone loves this machine!

[@jeseefcm]

The cylinder head is covered in a carbon fibre, that’s not good to cover the cylinder head as it will create heat problem, cooling issues

[@BrandonHughes]

Man that engine is streamlined!

[@bcreekm]

Would this get a 200 lb guy up?

[@minyardmatt]

Brian Creekmore this exact engine. Hmmmm yes it would get you up but it’s not the motor I recommend you get. The motor you want to fly is a moster 185, more thrust & totally reliable! This 150 is not as bullet proof & is not as powerful as the moster 185, so for you Brian you need a moster 185

[@buffdaddy2032]

What's the wieght limit on that model

[@minyardmatt]

the 150 can fly pilots up to 185 or 200 LBS depending on your altitude, our favorite engine by far is the moster 185 if you are looking for good power 7 super smooth you should have a 185 buff daddy!

[@videopokernetwork6824]

Just fold up your box and hit the road. Ya hear that, Honey?

[@monkeyonstrings3417]

I assume you are the dealer of these. what is $? and lead time?

[@minyardmatt]

MonkeyOnStrings give me a call, we keep these units ready to ship in a day or two usually, depending on what throttle you like we can rig it up & choose what size harness you need. The EOS 150 maverick sells for $8000, that price includes shipping to you. www.paramotorlouisiana.com

[@johnhancockFenix]

What’s up Matt

[@johnhancockFenix]

Next time I come through LA I’m going to look you up and come meet you ! Bet

[@johnhancockFenix]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/onmUmquAnKyIfLc Tell me what you think brooo

[@minyardmatt]

John Easley that was really sketchy & you just about ran into those people on the beach. The beaches get banned because of people who fly & train in populated areas & I also have to say if someone has to hold a trike in order to get the pilot up in the air, they probably should have trained a little bit more. Congrats on your flight, but you should be more careful that was pretty risky business

[@johnhancockFenix]

I am still new and still training that was my first beach launch , my instructor Kyle was with me pulling my wing up in the 11 mph wind to be safe on the Trike in slightly higher winds at 1 pm , we were all launching that way towards those people and those people where all use to us launching over them and did not mind they said I had plenty of room before I even came near them although I did have to dodge that kite I thought I did good for my first beach flight, I am a inland flyer and I only have 16 flights with my old Green Eagle quad so far , that was my first flight in the two stroke Fenix Trike , I had just bought it that day from Kyle with Power2Fly and he is now my Instructor and he said I did good , normally we only take off at the beach in a trike in winds of six or less so we were playing it safe by having him pull me forward to take off smoothly since it was my first time from the beach with a 42 m tandem wing! now that you know the details what do you think ?

[@minyardmatt]

@@johnhancockFenix i would probably downsize my wing when it gets windy, but personally if i cant manage to takeoff on my own i would practice ground kiting more before hooking up to fly!
