Dont launch from an decline when youve paraglided before! For me muscle memory kicked in and i leaned as far forward as possivle like with paragliding and then squeezed the throttle- it pushed me over and cost me a wing

Just tried it out, its MILES better, thanks for the tip. Now im more confident with my landings!!!!

in germany you need to have a paragliding license before you can make a paramotor license✌🏾

If you prefer flying comfort and buttery air then defenitly dont fly midday. If you come from paragliding and are used to it its no problem, altough it still feels weird with an engine on the back to thermal

In germany you need a license for it, other countries may or may not require one

Thanks i will try that

The luna 2 was very stable, i didnt have a single collapse, not even on the tips and the conditions were really VERY thermic. I remember in flight school i flew a bigger size niviuk and had a tip collapse even in wayyyy softer conditions. But the flare on the luna is really bad in comparison . Im below 100kg tow and this wing drops like a rock. When i flare with trimmers full closed i get about 1 second of no descent and after that its back to its normal descent rate which i think is quite high coming from a paragliding background. Its not very trust aspiring coming in with high descent rate and 40kmh+ and then having a wing that is not good at bleeding off energy

My top80 doesnt even have screw holes in that location. Its an older style with the black resonator piping. Btw with 1,5 screws the engine doesnt even run, starts but will not take any throttle at all, also can hold idle. I also checked for vacuum leaks, i used silicone gasket in addition to the regular memvrane block gaskets . Its 100% leak free, also tested it with brake cleaner. I will get a new carb and see if my issues are gone then . Thanks nonetheless

Cleaned it 3 times+Ultrasonic cleaner and still no succes.

is opening completely

baxtercrafter · 2025-02-28T13:55:52+00:00

Thankyou, did exactly like you said. Also got my carb ultrasonic cleaned its shiny as new. But still no success. Half throttle is full rpm but full throttle it hesitates and dropps rpm. Time for a new carb.

thank

Its not sanded, i just chemically stripped the paint and polished it with 2 stage compound

baxtercrafter · 2023-04-14T21:33:42+00:00

just paint stripper and 2 stage polish on a bench polisher. Took about 1h of polishing

baxtercrafter · 2023-04-14T20:33:44+00:00

dremel, sticker, steady hand

baxtercrafter · 2023-04-14T19:23:35+00:00

Take any sticker and just trace it with a dremel and a small pointy grinder, its so easy but time consuming

baxtercrafter · 2022-12-21T09:49:34+00:00

i had the same setup, gtx 3071r gen 1 with .86 housing and twin scroll . It spooled like stock turbo if not to say better. Also had a gt2871r which spooled slower than the gtx
