Wow! I just binge watched all these episodes. Great series! I've learned a LOT. When I started watching, I had already decided to get an Air Conception Nitro 200 Delta. But you have given me a lot to think about. I definitely know more about what to look for in a paramotor now!
Good information. Next one is going to be without clutch for me as long as it has electric start and preferably one that can be started with one hand only. I want to be able to turn off the engine in air without having a spinning prop. But it does suck on idle compared to clutched.
I vote for more great paramotor videos. My suggestions: the different wing variables and what they are good for (how to chose the best wing for various purposes, including real suggestions of specific brands and wing models). Also, you said you were going to comment about paramotor weight. And finally, how much do your videos remain valid for paramotors with wheels (trikes and quads)? Are your videos pretty much only for foot launched (which is my primary interest, but I'm still curious).
I agree. I've had 2 clutched and 3 non clutched. been flying for 12 years. Currently flying an airconception nitro (clutch). Previously a Bailey V5 (no clutch), before that a top 80 (clutch), a JPX330 (no clutch) and a castellucio fly 100 (no clutch). I've probably broke 5 props on no clutch motors that I would have saved with a clutched one. And I love the quite tick over in the air. These days a clutch adds very little weight (about 1kg for airconception). Some motors don't have a clutched option of course, so people need to weight that up too, but for me I won't be going back to non clutched motors again I don' think.
Just dropping in to say thanks for making these videos, I’m doing a lot of analysis on my computer I’m slowly by trial and error coming up with my own para motor design. If you could show me what sources you use to make sure you are in compliance with laws and safety protocols I would greatly appreciate it
yeah i fly a non clutch unit...and am always envious of those who have clutched units who can warm engine up and connect to risers without prop spinning. I think clutch is best
You couldn't pry my Electric start and clutch paramotor( AirConception 200 Nitro) from my cold hands /unless you wanted to trade for a Scout with both of these handy accessories..Hmm do they even make the Scout with ES & Clutch ?
Thank you for this interesting video series Miroslav and greetings from Germany! I think you are doing great in your PR work (UA-cam, email support, support of Tucker and other Paramotor gliders, website presentation). If Scout would enter the stock market, I would totally invest in you because I sincerely believe you guys will grow fast within the next 1-2 years. For the time being I can only give you my money by buying a Scout Paramotor, right? :-) Targeting for a training (and license) in 2018/19, plus buying a Scout. Still studying the aviation rules in Germany, which are not that simple and there also aren't that many spots where you are allowed to start/land. ...Maybe I should move to beautiful Slovakia and look for a job over there. Is Scout hiring? :-P
What about in-flight drag with engine off? If your motor quits or you shut it off at altitude before landing, I think I was told the spinning prop on clutched models creates more drag and you drop faster. Is that true?
dont fotget about high drag with clutched engine when you fly on idle revs, safety??? only if you not press revs up,after that stop prop take forever-what can happen in this time use your imagination,similar like you i was flying with clutched and direct drive engine. and promoting moster are socks
Memories of the boneyard, nice one Miro!
Is that the boneyard in Tucson? Edit: Probably not, I'm pretty sure that one is in restricted airspace.

To the point and extremely detailed. Thanks.
I love these videos. I am saving for my first motor and this has helped me greatly. Keep them rolling.
Thank you
thank you!
Another great presentation, thanks.
Excellent video!!
Just finished watching episodes 1-30 and I am really looking forward to seeing the rest of the episodes you have in this series! :)

About time you got to putting some more videos out. :) From what I've seen of the footage from Iceland it looked like too much fun to miss out on.
+StarFyter1 working on it!
Any news on the four stroke development?

Milo, do you have any vids about wings?
is it time for another video? These are good info post more please.
every person is different. there is pros and cons.at the end of the day . a pilot can demo with clutch and demo with belt drive. he makes the choose.

+Eloy Garcia yes. Vittorazi Moster Plus now comes with electric start option
where can I go to get full specs and price?

What is the time frame for it to be available for customers?
Už mi iba ostáva predať obličku alebo vyhrať lotériu a budem lietať. :) Možno raz... dúfam... :)
Hello can I use a built in gear box engine
I'm in great confusion
Please help me
