Why are we STOKED on the NEW Vittorazi Moster EFI? Q&A (part 2 of 2) 

One of the tests I would like to see is how it will handle abuse. Ran hard and constantly. Long climbs, high altitude, powered G maneuvers, and what happens if you do go down in water? Will it be as easy to get going again if you went down in water after a foot drag?

A good test would be to take two otherwise identical setups and see how long you can fly compared to the Moster Plus. Same weight pilots, same frame, same wing, same starting fuel, fly level formation until you run out of fuel. It would prove the fuel economy benefits. But you'd have to try with either bigger pilots or smaller wings so we can get an idea of the fuel economy improvements across the RPM range, in particular above and below the high jet operation on the carbureted model. The fuel economy improvement suggests XC but I do think the size of the battery or the inability to charge in flight will be an issue for some. Imagine going on a trip where you'd have to refuel. Either you have to carry the charger with you and land somewhere you can recharge the battery, or you have to carry multiple batteries. It's a small population I'm sure but something to consider. The weight increase is already getting negative feedback so you probably wouldn't want to increase the weight for everyone. In my head I'm thinking you could carry one of those turbine generator they advertise that you can drop in a stream to charge your phone, fix that to the paramotor somehow, and have the air stream spin the turbine. If memory serves, some models of the F-4 used a similar idea to supply additional electrical power.

Just can't justify it. Added weight, so many wires and added parts to break, no back up of a pull start, limited flight without charging, display screen takes away from simplicity and adds snag points near carabiner, increased price, etc. I prefer carb and pull start personally.

Compare the fuel economy, power and temperature to the carbureted 185. I've been waiting a long time for an efi system to come out!

I am excited to hear about that new engine that Santa Claus is going to bring me.

Can you fly without the display? I would love to see the failure states of this new motor controller. Like what is it equivalent of a check engine light? What happens if the temperature sensor falls out mid flight? Things like that. 2 stroke failure states are predictable, I fear this thing wont be.

Well since you asked I’d like to see you teach me a beginner how to fly this rig. And with the free giveaway 😬

I think the "safety start" is going to get someone killed. I would not be keen on that, i can see situations where turning the motor on and needing to go to full throttle before 4 seconds would be needed. There should just be a safety switch you have to hold for 4 seconds without any restrictions to throttle useage. Like an over ride or something 4 seconds is a long time when the ground is coming up or powerlines or a multitude of other obstacles. As is only having electric start w/out pull start backup. At the end of the day its a 2 stroke and theyre not known for longevity id rather have everything at my disposal then be hindered by what an engineer came up with cuz "safety". Idk put an override or a different way to "lockout" the throttle. If you want full throttle maybe double tap and hold? Or something? just shutting off the motor seems..?😅

Props to Vito! I absolutely love when a plan comes together. They must be mad Proud! Tip my Hat toward the entire crew. I'm old school, gas, oil & go! fk da drama! Peace

Classic Neil beard stroke @18:38 :)

I want in… hoping I can help develop and give feedback!

Yall launched 1/2 mile from the beach in august Class D airspace

Hopefully I can eventually afford it

did I notice a brass bushing on the second joint of the exhaust

Any issues with the data cable popping out off the dashboard ?

Why the creeper at 10:57?

How much does the EFI cost? Is it a kit you can install on any Moster as an upgrade?

Will there be different maps?

Correction: All Vittorazi engines are covered for a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase of the engine or aircraft. Only the Moster 185 MY'20 version is covered by a 2-year warranty, this as a result of a promotion.

I piled up a lot of Moster spare parts. Are the main engine parts identical on the new unit?

Love to know if we can change the throttle and go with an after market one - E.G. Off-Grid Aviation's

As much as we want to take this sport into expensive carbon cub territory it will never be. lets continue to push the right segments of PPG.. Simplicity, reliability, affordability. Performance will always be in the wing. Electric like everything else will soon take over this segment for what this EFi is trying to cover as battery tech advances.

Cheap vs. Reliable EFI, pick one. We hope Vittorazi picked Reliable and maybe why its taken years to go into production.

this is a total write off. you all know the price right?

Can you test it by leaving untreated E10 pump gas in it for 12 months store in a shed and see if it runs like crap or doesn't start and then go in about wanting EFI to solve these issues of neglect 😂😂

I do NOT want a computer to kill my engine!! Please bypass this not so safe devise.

Who dis?

More to go wrong, I hated where they took a simple motor with points and over engineered it I like basic engines sorry I will not be buying one 😮
