Flylight have finally made the PeaBee2. I say made and as will be made clear in the video, that there have been so many upgrades to the original Peabee, that was designed and made in 2016, that Ben ( with some influences) to designate the latest builds to be called the PeaBee2.
So what is the differences between the PeaBee and the PeaBee2, we discuss the new areas, such as the Screen, the nose pod, the latest reserve container, the undercarriage fairings, the monopole fairing and headbox.
Now the secret inside the Monopole fairing is genius and you'll have to watch the video to find out what is contained inside.
If you have any points you want to see more details on, please drop a comment.

yep...Agree another great video...more so because i'm sort of famous...it was me who asked Ben about the possibility of the fairings :-) good to see they have been well received from both existing and new customers..Not so good for Ben...Sorry Ben. 😁 On another note Giles, are you getting your new trailer custom built?..wanting to do the same at some point👍😁

@@GolfFoxtrot22 - but going by initial impressions, how would you say PeaBee2 compares to Adam, leaving aside the retractable wheels? Adam was noticeably more pared down & streamlined, and PeaBee2 seems to be too. Does this bode a trend for the future?

Hi Giles. Your PeaBee looks more beautiful every time we see it! The wingfold stowage is a great idea - very neat. I've bought my new trailer, so will continue to keep the Adam at home with the wing detached. But if I ever get to fly to other parts, the new kit will be my next 'must have'. Happy birthday to Ben - and, yes: "Freedom for Ukraine!". John

Hello Giles, The new Peabee 2 looks like an awesome machine. I wish Ben's products were more available in the US. I came across a video from Scout Paramotors about their experimental new prop that automatically changes its pitch depending on engine RPM. Initial test indicate a 33% fuel savings. I don't know if the links will be allowed, but here are the titles you can search on RU-vid to find the two videos they have posted. This looks like it might be a game changer for our crazy flying machines. First video: Will this be the best paramotor propeller in the world? Variomatic propeller Second video: Very precise measurement of fuel consumption - paramotor experiment. Cheers mate, Sam Huff

@@AuzCoastflyer I have actually spoken to Ben about the ATOS after he built one for a customer. The ATOS in his words, isn't that fast and can't be SUB70 so doesn't really add any value. The cost of the ATOS is also prohibitory expensive as well. I don't think Ben is up for making his own wings, that's why he works so closely with AEROS. I hope that helps.

Just catching up with my aviation viewing Giles, forgive my flexwing ignorance. what the purpose of the are the poles in the rear faring? do they act as a sort of tie down kit? Or are they actually from within the wing?
@GolfFoxtrot22
@GolfFoxtrot22 2 года назад
Hi Stratotramp, they are for when you fold the wings back for stowage. If you have a look back at a video with a remove before flight tag on the Thumbnail, it shows me rigging it and you will see some black rods. If we wanted to land away over night somewhere, there was no way of carrying the original poles, so the ones in the fin pocket are just for that. I hope that helps.
