Welcome to the electric world! I got the first generation Open PPG SP 140 and I have loved it ever since. I love the reliability and how smooth it is. I can let off the throttle and just glide quietly. Hope you have a blast!

[@mm6705]

3d printed parts are not automatically weak, there are types of printers, filament, and processes that result in extreme strength, such as used in ultra expensive performance cars. Just the typical stuff people print are not using the high temp, higher end equipment. Especially given the constant vibration of a paramotor, I would have to agree with Tucker, in general.

[@RwP223]

Fatigue is a wild animal in a dynamic application (lots of vibration, harmonics). Even metals that meet theoretical strength targets with a safety factory can be destroyed by harmonics.

[@SwingingPythons]

He said one of them was cracked.

[@chouseification]

Compared to a molded part, they ARE much weaker, almost always. Tucker is right to complain. Paramotor flying puts your life at risk - no need to add to the risk factor by using parts that are inherently quite fragile compared to the equivalent molded or machined part.

[@56932982]

What do you think about using an electric paramotor in a flight school? "Engine Management" is much simpler with electric propulsion. No pull start, no cold / warm start problems, ... So a flight student can concentrate more on handling the glider etc. and needs less attention to the engine. Less work load is exactly what is needed in this scenario. The limited flight time doesn't matter for your first small hops into the air.

[@TuckerGott]

I think it could be a really good school motor with the lightweight battery and on the "chill" mode.

[@cloudpandarism2627]

@@TuckerGottinteresting that somebody mention this. i also just finished another version specially for schools with safety features build in, for students who are ready for their first flights. fall down protection, lightweight around 16kg, fast charging battery packs which are full in 10-15 min ect. a simple training unit for schools. inexpensive and robust.

[@niconico3907]

It is better to learn with the type of equipment you will use later. It is easier to learn good habits from the start than to start with bad habits, then unlearn the bad habits to replace them with good ones. There is no point to learn to drive an automatic gearbox car if you plan to drive a manual.

[@warrenkral6562]

I find electric stuff is less intimidatingly too for a beginner.. Not as much noise etc... I will say even being around dirtbikes and motorcycles growing up, my gas paramotor scared the sh** out of me for a while until I got use to it.

Like the early electric autos (or electric anything!), an ePPG is in the very early adoption phase and Open PPG should be congratulated on starting this whole transition. I’ve been following them for years and Paul has done a great job in bringing this unit to the PPG community. Not perfect by any means and most pilots may be turned off by the low flight times…but battery tech continues to progress and soon more and more pilots will wonder how they ever put up with 2 stroke noise, smell, oil mixing, constant maintenance, and engine outs (I’ve had 4). I hope this starts to encourage other players in the game. I do know of other pilots starting to put together electric units. Since I only fly around 30-50 minutes on each flight, I fully intend to get one. I would also love an add-on system to current frames as I would prefer something like the Fly Products Eclipse, Kangook (or Rider). Thanks for the review and will look forward to your discovery flights! Would love to know if anyone out there has had quality 3D parts fail?

I agree, it's really awesome to see everything Paul has done. There are some huge advantages over gas and it will only get better with time.

[@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28]

Seems that electric is better suited on a trike where you could theoretically add bigger batteries for longer flight times and still be able to launch, whereas adding weight to a standard PPG would make it almost impossible or at least impractical to launch. Double the battery and you have something with flight times worthy of spending the money on. Right now the flight time is just too short to justify imo.

[@neverendingstudent]

@@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28 You will run into the issue of diminishing returns similar to (though not the same as) the rocket equation. More battery weight = need more energy output to maintain flight. Use more energy means getting less flight time/KWh total... it's a balancing act. *Can* you get more flight time on electric? Absolutely you can - there are now all-electric small planes out there - but it does mean you end up scaling everything up, including $$$.

[@jdjr3640]

I love 3D printing myself and have wanted to get into the paramotor sport! I agree with your assessment though that using 3D printed parts for structural components is a no-go. If those were to fail during flight, it could lead to catastrophic failure as the propgaurd could disassemble and be ingested by the prop. Causing prop strike, damage, and material ejection (possibly hitting your chute or person). However, for the throttle control, I think it's totally fine. And would be fun to print your own custom one!

[@vancityr6485]

I've taken a little break from your channel, but came back and see how much your channel has grown and how good the production quality is now. Keep it up!

[@kaddiddlehopper]

From a non paramotor pilot here, seems to me the biggest advantage of electric would be reliability and fewer parts to fail, combined with lower maintenance and minimal vibration and noise. Weight and flight time would be the biggest detractors. It's enticing to not have to worry about fuel stability, freshness, ethanol levels, carburetor tuning, engine starting, vibrating parts falling off, etc. If I ever tip my toe into this sport, pretty sure it will be with electric.

[@TuckerGott]

Spot on! I will be doing an in depth gas vs electric comparison.

What I gained from this is that the motor will mount to a standard frame if you want to switch existing equipment over to electric. In theroy you could just buy the motor, controller and battery. Would be cool to build a custom battery for this even tho the packaging they have is pretty sweet thats a wicked expensive battery.

[@GeorgeHafiz]

i was curious whether the battery should really be considered expensive. it's $2,200 and could give you ~900, 30 min flights (before battery degradation makes continued usage untenable), so 10 years of flying? recharging costs could vary a lot depending on your location, but compared with gas, oil, engine maintenance & replacement parts etc., you might find it's actually cheaper for your total cost of ownership to go electric. but you're comparing that to much longer range/flight times with gas and the convenience of quickly refilling, which might be a dealbreaker depending on the type of flying you want to do.

[@zachmoyer1849]

do you find it to be easier? like as far as maintenance, storage, and running cost..

[@clevelandexplorer2221]

I love this. While commenting while listening, perhaps the timing for acceleration is to reduce blades contortions your weight? Or be more efficient which I'd imagine is likely. Weight depending, I'd consider having the battery below the motor to save space and depth if this could be configured to be packed easier and faster setup. I'd consider having the battery mounted around padded thin plastic to make insertion easier. The electrical connections are cool but same principal as a lawnmower or kettle switch, stubborn to remove and reconnect so I'd personally like a lock on it but with trad blade pins, you may not. Could be an option. Was weight mentioned without the batteries? My thoughts are probably common: which is more weight preferred, with an empty tank being cumbersome and could we use an ev charging point? If applicable, how could one reach an ev charger, say, xc? Noise reduction with electric? Power differences? Ive always agreed with that on 3d printing, it feels and looks cheap; they're for unseen things or prototypes. Bottle tops make a fantastic way to melt onto forms at home for relatively free, just need an oven or dehydrator, waffle iron anything flat and hot, with a rolling pin. Idk if printed metal is comparatively strong Thanks for sharing!

[@james7705]

I don't mind taking off full weight (70lbs) if i know I'm going on a xc, but landing every flight still at 75lbs, that would be rough on the back, at least for me it would.

I think the 3-D printed parts are the best feature of this frame. It means one can have an infinite amount of cheap spare stress parts on hand, sacrificial parts if you will. I would try printing nylon or PETG (coke bottle plastic) and not PLA or ABS. Either way, it’s a good excuse to get a 3-D printer.

Nylon (potential even carbon fiber or glass fiber nylon) or pc should really be the only choices here. Abs and petg have so-so overall strength. Pla has crazy high strength, but is brittle and creeps quite badly.

Those 3d printed parts could be used to create molds so you can pour epoxy pieces. (This would be the proper use of 3D printing in a product like this, using 3D printed parts directly in a product like this isn't the idea I had in mind.) To make it act more like a gas motor, once it's armed, the motor should start spinning at an extremely low RPM just to give a highly visible and a sound indicator that the system is turned on. (Think the laws that require electric cars to have motor sounds or another indication of movement via sound.)

Does the battery support limiting the maximum charge state to 80%? With many battery chemistry this can more than double the useable lifespan of a battery pack, so say at 1000 charge cycles "100%" on a pack that was fully charged might now be 70% of its original charge state, where "100%" on a pack that was only ever charged to 80% might be 90% of the original capacity.
