Esse vídeo vai ajudar muito eu regular o carburador de meu Paramor, muito obrigado
thank you very much for these great and useful lessons about paramotor💐
I seen you start oscillating just before landing then dive right. Was the ground wind high?
this is real ppg
great information , thank you very much for all your time and experiments. By the way, what make is your helmet ? Thank you and keep up the good work.
Paramotoring in thermal conditions???? I might consider it if it was electric....
I would be interested to know why do you prefer electric
Oh man, I wish I would have remembered this video! I just had this issue and totally missed it.
Nice T-Shirt !
If i were to say... create a gear train like 1:241 that leads to a bevel gear which runs along a crank to a propellor, how fast would and how large of a propeller would i have to make to propell someone on a paraglider? Im tryna make basically a flycycle 😂 I'm broke and want free flight so i though i would just go ahead and make it
Fantastic. Will be amazing to follow this journey. Thanks
I imagine that is very challenge this route weather wind rotor Much emotional roller coaster
How much more rpms for level flight between 125cm and 130?
Electric is the way to go...... By 2026 you can buy a 20 Kg battery pack with 12 Kw/h of juice. That is good for 2h+ of flight time 👍
I love it so much ❤
Thank you for a great video.
Best repair videos out there for the Moster 185. Very much appreciated!
gloves and glasses? how dnagerous are those carbon fiber reeds? bcs i don,t see the need for your fancy outfit...🤔but i read a lot revently about cancerogenic "qualities" of carbon fiber products....maybe a glass fiber reed is less dangerous...originally spring stell or Mylar was used,,,why do we all use carbon fiber now when it is so hazzardous? i get the creeps thinking about my new engine ...which would need a setup check on everytjing ( at least i do that, bcs factoriesa re mass producers and I am the idiot flying the engine...) ...what dust do i inhale...hmm? not too seeious a question, but why do you wear safety glasses and nitril butilene gloves? you can handle nuclear fuel that way...
They need to use an easy swap battery like you might find in a cordless hand drill. You could take several with you and, with a big enough capacitor, have it hot-swap capable.
Looks awesome!
6:00: gravem essa resposta. E digo desde já, concordo em ela. A questão é a mesma quando se fala do FlatTop. Muitos aparecem a reclamar por ser antigo, mas lembrem-se, como aqui foi dito: na aviação, o mais importante é a segurança e fiabilidade. Coisas que o flattop me oferece. Faz 10 anos que tenho o meu e apenas troquei de motor. Já me salvou em muitos situações.
On older 60 year old GA planes this innovation is called a control knob with a mixture of blue and red colors.
DEFINITELY PARAMOTORING ! ❤
Another great video from my favourite paramotor company!
Is there a wing that works for paramotor and paragliding?
Kinetic engine possibilities
Interesting
Engines are pretty good for 2-strokes. Mine were finicky to dial in, but once they are right, so far so good. Im always expecting an engine problem, but none so far. As things wear out, the minute adjustments that had it running perfectly, begin to change. Eventually a failure will occur, unless I am perfectly proactive in replace/maintenance and tuning. I try my best, but I have doubts, on a long enough time-line.
Can I upgrade my current scout?
Nice
I've got >375hrs now on my moster185, and only 1 emergency landings due to engine failure (10 feet up immediately after take off, caused by mixture problems so it choked out). I've had only 1 other real emergency landing due to in flight bogging issues on motor and after an several in-flight restarts, the starter cable then didn't retract, got sucked back into the prop, tore the prop to bits and the belt and clutch. I've had many engine outs doing spirals/wing overs, some kind of gravity lock I suppose, but easy to just restart and I've had carb mix issues in flight on several other times (changing temps/seasons here in canada requires more carb adjustments) but always been able to restart in the air at limp back to the LZ. So, I agree they are pretty reliable, but to me, still have a fair bit of maintenance/adjustment required (every 40-50hrs it seems) but well worth that effort to get 40-50hrs of joy. However, I will never trust these engines to fly where I cannot comfortably land.
I was having engine outs when I first got into paramototing..it turned out to be my hood on my jacket was getting sucked into the air box!... 5 years later I keep my engine well maintained by watching the Scout videos and purchasing parts from their eshop ..great support from them the maintenance videos are ace
Looks of it is something new, but hirth has this kind of injection 20 years ago already!
Two stroke motocross and enduro bikes had EFI long time ago as well. Sad it did not penetrate into paramotoring earlier. I am grateful it has finally arrived.
Great hint! I have a relatively new Moster 185 and right after I crank it up, while it's still cold, if I give it just a little throttle, it dies. Once its warm, its no problem.
This is the exact setting I b personally like! I have learned how to warm it up in that condition and then it rubs great. But it is very sensitive to weather changes and rewrites fiddling. Little more open makes everyday life a lot easier.
I had an engine out on my FIFTH flight. The engine has less than 25 hours on it. It's still on its first spark plug. What happened? The throttle cable/kill switch wire in its sheath slipped down by the carbon fiber engine mount. In the course of one flight it rubbed through the sheath and into the kill switch wire. It was the equivalent of hitting the kill switch at 3200 feet. After a minute I was able to restart it and fly home.
Love Your vids, but ... ... ... "engine dies...emergency landing... no excuses.." well... then it's something wrong with me..I climb high, shut the engine and make a long quiet gliding...then start my engine..or land with no problem...
I said when your engine dies you prepare for landing. That’s always the first step. Once that is done and you still have time then you try to restart.
Can someone help me on what I need to get my son's paramotor up running
I am waiting for smartcarb to make carbs for vitorazzi engines.
Great video as always 👍
gotta love Miro style! nyc
I fly a regular paraglider without a motor. It would feel really weird to fly over a place where I can't land with good margin just gliding.
If you trust your 2-stroke you're setting yourself up for a very rude awakening. Take great care of your equipment and it might take care of you, but it's never guaranteed. Distrust will change your decision making structure and just might keep you safe.
Three PPG inflight motor out anecdotes to add to the list Miro: 1) Buddys Moster, root cause: improper strain relief/attachment of the kill switch wire that failed at crimp and grounded out on the engine. 2) My Top 80, root cause: I did not properly install the Top 80 secondary wire upgrade, see southwest airsports instructions covers clearancing the top 80-frame at the secondary boot into the primary coil, which I didn't do enough as we can tell. 3) My Thor 202, root cause: the clunk I installed was not a filter, maybe I forgot to add an inline filter whatever I still messed up since a white colored thin long plastic shaving got jammed through the main jet. The float bowl is black plastic and not sure where else white plastic would be but the fuel tank so for sure a fuel filter is like a fuse in a powered electronic circuit, you always have one. Now I run a Polini clunk filter of which the filter media reminds me of some modern automotive main fuel filters at the fuel pump pickup I think with the surface area it will last longer than the smaller inline filters. www.polinithor.com/en/polini-immersion-filter/
yup, as long as you stick to your maintenance schedule and do a proper preflight you should be able to fly with total confidence. I have 400hrs on Vitto motors at this point, including in Iceland, and I trust their engineering fully.
I was curious if this because my moster 185 is fairly new and Iv got to do something to it because it keeps cutting out. But anyway it got me thinking how reliable these things are. You should never fly over water but then how does that guy Chucky wright do it. He’s Insane. He flys over miles of sea water with no LZ in sight and I was curious. Is he just mad or does he regularly give his motor early maintenance so failure is very low. Either way he’s still mad.
Cutting out under power or at idle?
@@SCOUTaviation hi. Iv not addressed the issue yet cos we got to winter. Only just broke in engine. As in first 15 litres. But sometimes it wudnt start. Adjusted the fuel/air mix and it seemed ok. But then while flying and releasing throttle it wud die as it went to idle. I was able to restart in air and keep some throttle on to stop it dying. The spark plug reveals more of a wet plug. So too much fuel to air mix. But I think I need to take something off and clean it.
@@SCOUTaviation Mine cuts out when I first start it, and squeeze the throttle a little. Like it's either too rich or too lean. Once it warms up its not a problem.
I have a new Moster 185+ too. When I first start it, it is touchy and will quit if I give it too much throttle. Let it warm up for 30 seconds and it runs great with quick response. I did have to adjust the LOW carb screw to get it running smoothly. Remember, the setting at the factory may not work for your location due to barometric pressure, altitude, humidity, and temperature. You may need to adjust it. Fortunately, SCOUTaviation has videos showing how to do that and it is in the Maintenance and Operator manual for the engine. Get a second person to help because taking the motor on and off your back for every little adjustment is a pain...and don't run the engine on the ground. Took me about 10 minutes to get mine running perfectly.
Hi. It mainly cuts out at idle. Someone helped to adjust the low screw and initially it helped. But then in the air when releasing throttle and letting it goto idle that’s when it would die. Did try adjusting the low screw again but it’s just not quite right for some reason. Il use ur video to start from scratch with the low screw. Iv also got a new spark plug
Miro, je možné nájsť inštruktora na Slovensku? Môžeš niekoho odporučiť?🤔🤘
Ja odporúčam Martina Šimka z Prešova. Zrovna včera sme spolu kávičkovali. Napíš mi na miroslav@scoutaviation.com dam ti detaily.
I flew my EFI Scout the other day for the first time. It's ridiculously smooth and just sips fuel. I averaged 2.7-2.8 liters per hour when doing straight and level flights.
Guilty 😂 I touched the kill switch with my camera in Iceland. Otherwise never had an engine out with the scout.
In over 4 yrs of I’ve flying never had an engine failure in flight.
How can i communicate with u?
Miroslav@scoutaviation.com
@@SCOUTaviation Thank you
When you showed the fuel thank invention, I chuckled a bit for the level of engineering here done for this project 😏. Amazing! To be honest, I was skeptical that the EFI fuel consumption numbers were true, because they were so low. Thought that the fuel consumption losses come from the two stroke cycle, not from the carb. So, learnt new here.
You forgot to take into account air temperature whereas when cold the air is denser (more power) vs hot is less dence, yes a carb can do efficient economy , however if you can remap the efi it can save the engine if tuned right! Better
We need a intercooler 😀
