I’m after a titanium exhaust for an air conception ultimate 130 ( pull start / no clutch model)

Hi Andy . I'm temped to buy or build a trike myself . I also have an air conception. have you ever had an issue with the hoop flexing back into the moving prop ? I once did a power foot launch on my air conception and "bang" prop hit the hoop.
-
I try not to use the trike and still foot launch, despite back problems. I always power launch as my back is too knackered to push. I have have never had a an issue with the hoop....but have managed to snag the left side D's , then the prop pull them so hard that it bent the lower frame quarter! Prop was fine. This was on a Tornado....where it is critical to put power on gently. I didn't!

I have an APCO NRG20 and it is a very easy wing to launch . The hybrid is much lighter so will be even easier.

I will give you a sensible answer David. I have only ever deployed my reserve on the ground as a practice just before a repack is due . My instructor however told me he used to train paragliding in Greece . Part of his training included throwing a reserve and coming down over water.

My paramotor has mid hang point "s" bars .The thrust angle is as recommended . Just the application of the speed bar was enough to tilt me forward a little to much .I have since adjusted the hang point so I tilt back a little further.
-
I was flying in Kent approx 1000 feet up and as I applied the speed bar I heard the noise . I saw the handle dangling above and beyond the hoop . I came off the speed bar .The brake handle had been cut but not completely. Once home I removed the speed bar , sent the wing for repair and I have not used a speed bar since.
-
I had a brake handle touch the prop when I pushed on the speed bar . Pushing the speed bar tilted me foreword and I hadn't noticed the brake handle was not on the magnet. Very scary...

look up TAG paramotors on the net . I believe he is in Hull. I have spoken to him before . He is very helpful. -
Thor 80 fuel drip from air filter box
Mitch130 replied to chris scammell's topic in General paramotor discussion
It may be worth checking your reed valves .They should stop the fuel coming out of the carb and back into the air box . They act as a non return valve. Also when priming the carb you will probably have some fuel enter the air box as well as the carb. -
Has anyone done business with "paramotorengine.com"?
Mitch130 replied to Ryan Dinan's topic in General paramotor discussion
I have just looked at their website. Way to good to be true. -
Nice one Alan . I bet it was a nice slow landing.
-
Clutched or no clutch air conceptions are both excellent machines . If you are a complete beginner a clutched model may be best . ..you will be less likely to catch a line if you don't launch the wing correctly .The nitro 200 is so light that the extra weight of a clutch is insignificant .They are also very reliable .
-
No gearbox on the air conception . They are a good reliable machine.
