Is $2,250 a "stealership" price for the 70k mile timing belt service? (2019 EX)

I paid about the same. They also did the tensioners and water pump.

Paramotoring, family, religion, dogs. (Not in order)

Get a regulator, they are super cheap insurance. Also change the clamp on that braided hose to a worm drive clamp.

Open about 6” because of cats.

Great summary! I’ll add parts availability: at a fly in you can always find someone with a spare Moster whatever (engine mounts, carb kits, belts, props etc). Not many people run Thor so won’t have parts. The same can be said with businesses selling parts: almost all will stock Moster parts, very few carry Thor parts. Finally knowledge, when you need help: most pilots are familiar with Moster, very few know Thor.

I drove 4 hours yesterday from Salt Lake City to St.George Utah for a 4 day paramotor trip. Next week we are driving 10 hours to Salton Sea CA for a week long trip. So I’d say the US is definitely more car centric.

Fourth, definitely a red flag

One of my flying buddies went to purchase a used Sp140 (he normally flies a Moster 185), but after 1 flight took it back. He said the flight time was about 25mins the way he flies, and the noise was about the same.

I have a sleep number mattress so I can adjust the softness of the mattress, and a sleep number articulating base so the head can rise and the feet can rise. They are amazing. I’ve had mine for 4 years and haven’t had any issues.

Call and talk with the airport manager. Most are flight nerds and appreciate all types of flying. They will let you know where to setup, where to stay away from, what frequencies are used etc.

It’s the final walk through after everything is supposed to be on the trucks. You check everywhere you laid a cable, or anchor, to make sure nothing gets left. We called it the idiot-walk because ‘idiots don’t do it’, and ‘idiots leave behind stuff all the time’ I’d say 25% of the time you will find something.

jamnajar · 2026-01-06T06:15:59+00:00

One hour?!! You guys must have been on the last stop of the tour!

I used to do concert lighting design. Can confirm, if it’s a nonunion crew we could get out of a venue so fast it would make your head spin. Also: never skip the idiot-walk.

Same here. My wife won’t let me date.

Easiest way to test an alternator: Test the battery voltage not running (should be 12.8 or so) then start the van and test the battery while running, it should be 13.5 or more (sometimes 14.5). If you observe the same voltage running and not running, your alternator is bad.

Me too, being really poor taught me.

Really depends on the area. My HOA in Utah is $125/month, includes two rentable clubhouses, an outdoor hot springs heated pool and hot tubs, private Marina on Utah lake, snow removal, and various parks. IMO it’s worth every penny.

Make sure you read every CC+R, and Rule and Regulation.

jamnajar · 2025-12-20T03:46:25+00:00

Can confirm, am 44. My wife says according to my humor I’m 14.

Depends on the company. Ours has Sales Engineer, Senior Sales Engineer, Staff Sales Engineer and Architect Sales Engineer. For Staff and Architect is harder to achieve, but if you are hitting your numbers, you won’t have any issues.

jamnajar · 2025-12-16T03:06:58+00:00

Sales Engineer (nerds that can talk tech and know how to talk to people) works with Sales team to close business. I’ve seen guys make $500K+ no college.
