I really like the waist strap idea! Brilliant! All paramotors should implement that!

FINALLY, somthin with A hip strap to take the weight off the back. Will be good to get one-off these one day.

Good job we're all honest as the day is long, otherwise the XCLeague's going to get interesting.

This looks awesome Jocky! I assume you'll need a power license on top of your paragliding one and that it works with a paragliding wing and does not need a PPG wing with trimmers
@JockySandersonparagliding9 ай бұрын
Hi. Yes, for the UK you are best getting a power rating but that would be an easy conversion if you are experienced. Check with your local BHPA PPG school.

What about the drag of the frame and netting?
@balkan_pil0t9 ай бұрын
Also, the motor has a clutch, so when the motor is off the prop free wheels and completely destroys whatever drag you have left.
@JockySandersonparagliding9 ай бұрын
There is drag from the netting and prop, which may benefit from being folding. For full data on glide ratio go to scoutaviation.com
@cluelessbeekeeping13229 ай бұрын
What's the glide ratio with the motor and without the motor? How much penalty is there?
@JockySandersonparagliding9 ай бұрын
Hi. I didn’t accurately check that but I will on the next flight. The best is to email Miro at scout aviation.com he has good data.

When they can make it much lighter this will be viable but it's not much use as it is.

It has the same weight as my Free Flight XC gear. Only the engine makes the difference (~12kg) and it also depends on how much fuel you want to take with you, 1l or 6l. In fact, with a high-performance wing you could even use a very small motor like the Mini Mod, which then only weighs ~4 or 5kg. But the weight isn't the problem as long as you can easily transport everything in a backpack. As soon as the thermals come back this year I will mainly do long downwind flights with this setup and i am not the only one. Everything is prepared. 🥳👏

@@nico_albrecht You mean the RB MiniMot? But that doesn't have the variable geometry that makes this different from a standard paramotor.

@@turkeyphant I had a friend here with a Minimod. We played through that. Scout Zero and Minimod side by side. With an adapter plate this wouldn't be a problem. But I personally prefer the more reliable and much quieter Atom 80 at the moment.
