With more larger frames coming out now that support the 140cm props, I wonder if Vittorazi will come out with a reduction drive option for the atom 80 with a gear ratio compatible with a larger prop. Love the content, keep it up!
If they want to keep up with the Top 80 they will. I almost guarantee it. It's probably in the works if not being tested
Edit(11July2023): they approved the vitto Helix 140 prop for the Atom 80. I've been flying it and it's very efficient. I got a 7hr 50 minute flight on it 😱.
@@MarkHuneycutt that's absolutely wild.. what is your wing and pilot weight, and any idea what your average tail wind was?
Man IM sure uv seen the video I wish you would throw a copyright claim on SUPER DICK I MEAN SUPER DELL.....I wish you would sue him for defamation over this video he put out.....SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT A END TO HIS B.S.....but you should be able to sue for damages....
that was a very nice test for 1 gallon Mark!
You should have gone for the UK gallon, then you would have been able to run for a bit longer ;). Nice video Mark.
Threw the liters in there for ya UKers at the end.
@@MarkHuneycutt haha, just a bit of banter :)
@@GolfFoxtrot22 I like it. 🍻
My atom 80 burns a crazy amount of fuel like 5L/h. How can I tune the carb to be more fuel efficient?
Same for me. What wing are you on?
@@curtislavoie2242 Viper XC 20. I have a friend who gets 3.5L on the same wing.
Nice to know gives you perspective on flight time
I'm gonna run out of gas now ! One Gallon Challenge!
Nice test! I wish I could come close to your fuel burn rate. I've got a moster 185, less than 100 hours, new carb and I'm burning 6 liters/hour. It's crazy. I've used two different wings and they both have the same burn rate so I know it's not the wings I'm flying. I wish I knew what the problem is.
I guess if it's running fuel inefficiently, your spark plug should be very black. Check that. If it is, lean the carb out a bit, fly for 15 minutes and check your plug. You can adjust from there.
@@MarkHuneycutt Thanks! I'll check out the plug.
@@ParamotorSteve Were you able to figure out the problem of excessive fuel burn? Thanks!
Unfortunately no. Though it doesn’t matter anymore because I sold it and got a macfly with a barely used moster 185. 4.75 to 5 liters an hour so I’m happier with that!!
Rocking the Ron Jeremy look mark !!
Mind in Gutter thoughts, eh?
Just curious if You have any feedback or feelings about Me, if You feel like answering...
Nice video ...pliz send mi the link where I can buy atom 80 engine
What size prop was this?
125 Vitto fast acceleration prop
On a vitto at 320lb all up on a 23m about 40 minutes :)
Do you have any problem with your neighborhood about the engine noise in the morning?
It mostly depends on the motor and weather situation I guess
Excellent!
Bro where do you fly in NC? Your area looks beautiful. I am out in Charlotte but would love a new site :)
Doesn't FAR 103.2 e.2. specify 5 US gal max. That would last forever!!!
Definitely beats the equivalent weight in battery for an electric paramotor. By a long shot.
Are you a light weight rider ? How much do you weigh?
165lbs
Mark Huneycutt
No
I like that you rock that atom 80 like me.
I'm rooting for 1:45
only 1:28 :( however that included take off
thx for the L/hr conversion 2.58L/h that is pretty good.
That just makes me want an Atom80 all that much more. Electric may be the future but batteries are sure as F**k not cheap as gas in any respect. This was interesting 🙂
It's not the future of FLYING yet. Delivery trucks and scooter are prime electric, back pack aircraft . . . not so much. It would take a radical battery discovery which may or may not happened. I've been told by a chemist take our current batteries are perfect and we will only be getting marginal gains from here. He said we are about as likely to discover better new batteries as we are likely to discover a new gasoline that is 4x more efficient . . . i.e it's not going to happened and we'd need 4x better batteries for aviation applications to really open up.
So... About those electric paramotors. Mark just proved a point to a degree, a lighter combustion engine paramotor can fly longer on 1 gallon of fuel than a fully charged foot launch electric powered paramotor. Haters gonna hate, but they don't even know who I am (automotive mechantronics engineer with experience in electrification and lithium battery development and testing). I dream of building a real electric paramotor with a 2 hour endurance. It's 100% achievable today right now, it's called a tandem frame with 160 lbs of lithium battery pack in the passenger seat. It's not going to be cheap, why I haven't committed to such a project.
Someone is Florida is doing this with a trike/quad loaded with batteries as we speak 👀
@@MarkHuneycutt I love it when us tinkerers come to the same conclusions independently, because it means it's a good idea...but I thought of it first 🤣
I fly a Top with a 140 17/75 It has been great
What wing and size? What's your weight? How's the fuel burn?
@@MarkHuneycutt Im underweighted. 26M 160lbs I burn 2l/h. my brother on the same setup 180lbs burns barely more. But i can climb straight up
@@ohiyesa2328 Awesome fuel burn rate!
@@MarkHuneycutt Ya it costs like $2 an hour with oil. I run non-ethanol and the miniplane has a thirteen liter tank. I never put more than five
@@ohiyesa2328 super fuel efficient.
Hey man.Can you get pull starters for nitro 200?
Hit up Pinnacle Paramotor on Facebook or their website. Or contact Eric Dufour in Florida.
@@MarkHuneycutt thanks dude!! I will!!
