I flew it in "Chill" mode yesterday, and my takeoff was much easier. In the "Sport" mode it is a beast....more instant power than my Tornado 280. I love this machine. You are welcome to fly it anytime! Thanks for making this video! Bill
@@michaelbartlett1589 It has a large 140cm three blade E-Prop. When the power is "instant" as it is with the electric motor, the "torque" is also. If you limit the power as it does in "chill" mode, it cuts down on the amount of instant torque.
Nicely said gentleman…! Looking forward to electric Paramotor’s i’m surprised to see myself typing this praise I’ve always been a gasoline driven person but when I’m in my paramotor and I shut the engine off it’s just such a unique and special experience so if electrical paramotor motors can give me more of that feeling it’s a no-brainer…👋
Braedin, the second video Robbie did where he climbed to 5,250' was a full battery and in "Sport" mode. He is Very aware of the awesome power this electric has!👍. He is a believer like me!! Bill
Yes for sure! I fly the X4 and leave the switches off until I put it on my back. "Clear Props" then switches on. I don't arm it until just before inflation.
I'm on the fence whether or not to buy one of these, main concern is I've had ion battery cells go dead in FPV battery packs in the past. How easy is it to replace a dead cell? Does the manufacturer offer a replacement warranty or service plan for the battery pack?
@@zoeconner11 the X4 uses lipos, 15-20 minutes of flight time and no torque from what I can see. The SP 140 is more powerful, efficient, longer flight time, less wiring and batteries are Ions.
@@FlyHighParamotors according to Paul the batteries & ESC are covered for two years and the motor should last forever. I pre-ordered my SP 140 for batch#2.
How safe it is, if you fall in the water, especially in salt water, if not it is a Keller on your back, except if does had a re-less to drop the batteries only with air bag to mark location to comeback to pick it up and keep the wind and the harness to glued a way from the batteries? I hope the batteries are seal with the plug or not? that very important. It would be nice to have a small motor to charge the batteries to make long rang flight, one hour not enough it is good for learner but not for long flight.
Depending on your weight, your selection of wing and flying style it is possible to easily go over an hour. The same holds true for flying less than hour. I am about 200 pounds "geared up" flying an Ozone Spyder26, and with my flying style, I can fly close to an hour. Robert, in the video above, can realistically fly over an hour. Bill
Unless you Younger Guys just like to Run with a Paramotor Strapped on your Back, the 4 stroke-250 cc-fuel injected, European made Fresh Breeze Motor on a Trike would be Best Choice. Flying Time -Over 4 Hours on 5 Gal. of Fuel and no problems that you have with Two Stroke Engines...
The unit with battery is about $7,200.00. No vibration, no tune-ups, instant power, almost no motor noise, no maintenance. PPG is not inexpensive, but is a Super fun way to fly.
I agree that these Electric Motors could be the Future but I keep thinking about the Tesla Car that Completely Blew into just months ago on a Residential City Street in FL.-parts were thrown for over a Hundred Yards, how the Driver Survived is a Miracle--if this happened in the Air--Pilot would be Dead...
