What is the best setup for tandems? Paramotor geometry part 35

[@BobDiaz123]

Very good series and very interesting too. Please consider adding quad and trike flying. Some people like using a quad/trike for launching. What are the special things we should know about those choices???

[@JohnUllrey]

Thank You very much for sharing your knowledge through this video series!

[@MarkRohlfing]

What an amazing video series! Thanks so much for putting the time, energy and your expertise into this series. So incredibly helpful in understanding much of what goes into building these sweet rides!!

[@nicoppg1907]

Thank you so much for all the effort you and your team puts into these videos, it really helped me A LOT as a paramotor pilot to understand my equipment and its behaviour. Again, thank you!

[@davidnorth8808]

Hi Miroslav, this series has been extremely interesting and thought-provoking. I’m really looking forward to your thoughts on trike design. As soon as possible please!

[@philochristos]

This was an awesome series. I watched the whole thing starting yesterday and finishing today. I learned a ton. Thank you!

[@johancoertzen2288]

Excellent series. Well thought through and informative. Suggestion: Make a series comparing the actual different manufacturers with info regarding weight, torque, average running cost, maintenance plans, after sale service and back up and obviously cost.

[@aptlogix]

Thanks for all the great videos in this series. It will be great if you can speak a little bit about the glider sizes

[@atomicpsycho1589]

I have learned so much! I now know so about paramotors that i feel like i could make a informed decision about picking one! (probably going to be a scout carbon Moster Plus) Now i need to learn about wings!

good series, how about rotary engines? powerful for size or are they too heavy.

[@maxbootstrap7397]

At least some rotary engines are somewhat lighter than piston engines. I found that the powerful but lightweight rotary engines that exist are very expensive. For example, the cost of the best rotary engine I could find was $16,000 USD. That is for a quantity of one unit, but when I asked for lower prices for higher quantities, they didn't offer any until the quantities became very substantial... like 1000 units. As you can imagine, a $16K engine would increase the price of a paramotor from about $8,000 to roughly $20,000 or even a bit higher. Very few paramotor pilots will be willing to pay $20K+ for their paramotor. That would make the 1000 quantity virtually impossible to achieve, which would assure lower prices are not possible... at least with the rotary engines I was able to locate. Miro has also looked into rotary engines, but my guess is, he was not able to find anything substantially better. Bummer! Which means, the 4-stroke engine Miro is working on might be our best hope for the near future.

Hi, your videos are realy great. Can you gave me dimensions of your spreader bar, dimensions of pipes and material? I am beginner and all suggestions are welcome.

[@aieaslippers5900]

Great Post! . .. again. Where can one buy the strapping if we want to make our own?

[@maxbootstrap7397]

I have a couple questions. #1: What would be the consequences of having the wing closer to or further from the pilot? #2: Can you think of a practical way to design what would essentially be a flat platform with 3 or 4 wheels that one could sit or stand on during takeoff with a conventional foot-launch paramotor? The idea being, when the wing lifts up the pilot, he simply rises above the rolling platform into the sky, and the platform simply rolls to a stop. Or the removal of the pilot weight could cause brakes to apply and stop the platform even quicker. I suppose the platform might have a seat for the pilot to sit upon, though it might be better to have the pilot standing on the platform (possibly with some upside-down U bars on his left and right to stabilize his body during acceleration. Obviously landing would be the same as any foot-launched paramotor. One purpose would be to help launch when flying a long cross-country flight with 5+ gallons of fuel... so you land with nearly 40 pounds less weight, because that fuel is consumed. Another purpose would be to help launch when carrying somewhat heavy equipment a remote [mountaintop] site. #3: Can you itemize how much weight is typically in each component of a paramotor, and the difficulties of making them lighter in future paramotor designs? Engine, cage, frame, seat, etc. Maybe some subcomponents too, like perhaps muffler.

[@WorldOfPPG]

Miro, I ben flying tandems for past 13 years but I alway like to hear more inputs from other pilots. There is alway something new to learn about and them tandem units ready to take off are around 120 Lb :-)) so any advice would be nice to make it easier :) Do you have any possible information about where would be best to place thrust line of ppg on vertical axis? Great content I agree with all said in video. Thank you for sharing.

[@karstendam5225]

hi very informing thank you:) where to buy the H spreader bar you have in the vidoe ? thanks :)

[@SCOUTaviation]

We have built a few for our personal purposes. Unfortunately we do not have that product available for the customers.

[@karstendam5225]

@@SCOUTaviation oh you need to make for selling to please that would be awsome :)

[@nawrefly]

thanks a lot for that !

[@pizzamandellaxx6979]

Where can I get those H-type bars?

[@richardb9983]

Hi, I love the instruction videos. Where can I buy a Scout in Germany?

[@SCOUTaviation]

hello, please contact our dealer for Germany here: paramotoraustria.com/kontakt/

[@jeremydumoit7330]

Miro, I got a sweet Scout hat and T-shirt with my new Carbon paramotor. Where can I buy additional shirts and hats?

[@martinorlik9959]

180 degree angle on spreader bars equals almost infinitive load on spreaderbar webbing...."interesting" math to say the least - how scount come up with this - just curious to learn more, thank you, martin

[@WiDuAlK99]

How many hp need for tandem?

[@SCOUTaviation]

I am 88kg. I can take another 90 kg pilot for a flight with the moster 185. Not ideal for regular tandems but ok to occasionally share the passion with friends.

[@WiDuAlK99]

@@SCOUTaviation ok, but my question is: if i want tu get a paramotor, how many power i need to have? How many horse power. For example 1 pilot with any accesories and paramotor 105-110kg how many horse power need to carry 1 pasager to 80-90-100kg? For ocasional or business.

[@SCOUTaviation]

@@WiDuAlK99 27HP will be enough for occasional tandem. Take a larger tandem wing (41sqm).
