G'day mate. Thanks for the Shoutout Reese. I miss all you guys at Aviator and the beautiful warm Florida weather. You guys rock. I had the best time ever. Cant wait to see you all down under someday. Cheers Evan
Not doubting the efi is economical. But what have you done to the atom?Opened the high screw 4 turns?Im getting consistent 3,0l/h(5lbs/h) consumption with 150lbs pilot weight on a 20m S3 wing with trims 2-4cm out from closed.Same setup but a lean tuned moster is 3,8-4,0l/h(6,3lbs/h).Gasoline density is 0,75kg/l.
This is good data here. I’m kinda thinking that my atom is inefficient because of my wing loading but I haven’t collected the data from the tune as it pertains to the high screw.
Yes, seems unusually high. I get around 3.5l/hr as a 205lb pilot on a PAP 125cc. Anyway, let's see the final comparison with another Moster 185 (hopefully a properly well-tuned one).
@@dejavukrewe That's not really an easy question to answer without feedback from Ozone. But we can see that even with Neil's rig, the consumption appears a little too high, so it's possibly a carb setting issue, maybe running too rich. Which is better than too lean and kind of highlights some of the benefits of the EFI, whether intentional or no. 🤷♀ In any case, looking forward to the carb'ed Moster comparison and thank you for putting in the effort to provide us with all this data!
EFI is a great advancement for combustion engines. Not only is it better on fuel it start’s easier and runs smoother and extends the life of the engine. Reliability for safety and performance are perfect advancements for para motors. I predict that the other para motors on the market will be switching over to EFI in the very near future.
Not sure if the market is ready to pay the premium, early adopters are hero's proven over time, betting on a corporation to give you what you paid for at the time.
I think it's an interesting product that will appeal to a specific group of pilots (people who are willing to pay more and have a heavier machine on the ground as the payoff for better economy and not having to faff with carb tuning and general two-strokery). I prefer a lighter machine on the ground (probably increasingly so as I get older) and quite enjoy being an amateur two-stroke mechanic, so am more interested in improvements in carb tech rather. Something like the SmartCarb 2 (although I don't think it has a built-in pump like the diaphragm carbs, so probably not a bolt-on replacement on a Moster).
Can you give the weight difference between a Moster 185 (standard) and 185 (EFI) including battery, control unit... So, what is the overall weight increase if going for EFI ? Thanks for the great video!
Interesting times. I'm out on price, weight and complexity at the moment but when the system becomes cheaper, lighter and more simplistic I'm in. Bin weighty electric start, huge battery and information display and I'd be more interested. Looking forward to it's evolution
