F.A.Q. Questions / Answers
Is it possible for the RC paramotor wing to take away some material for shooting/FPV? Until which mass?
Each wing has a maximal takeaway capacity. Check the model total weight and compare it with the wing’s take-
away capacity. You will obtain the payload value, compatible or not with your equipment. Be careful, if you make
your paramotor strongly heavy, think of a more powerful motorization, by keeping a 150 W motor ratio / Kg of
complete model.
Can I fly anywhere with my wing? Is it a danger for the goods and the people?
You can’t fly anywhere with your wing. To practice aeromodelling, you must own a third-party insurance and
practice on a ground with the owner’s agreement. Ideally, contact your aeromodelling federation. It is forbidden
to fly in an urban zone and close to the houses. This type of model is not light, it can causes heavy physical and
material damages. Use it carefully and without going above your limits.
Until which height can I fly the wing?
In order to not disturb aerial traffic, maximum authorized height is about 150m from the ground. Contact your
federation and the organism of aerial traffic management of your country to have reliable information about it.
Is it possible for my hamster to fly my RC paramotor? Which precautions to take?
Check if your hamster is solidly attached to the backpack. The wear of a helmet and flysuit is advised. If you per-
form several 360) and wingovers, think of install under the batteries, a little plastig bag near its paws with few
menthol candies.
Can I do another use of the paramotor wing?
This wing can be used for slope soaring without backpack. In that case, you will have to attach a pilot as real
paraglider discipline.
Is it possible that the wing deflates while flying? Which behavior to adopt in that case?
If your wing deflates while flying and begin to reverse, it is because you have too much requested the brakes. To
remedy this phenomenon, slacken gradually the radio sticks and think of cutting the throttle.
Is it important to untangle correctly the bridle befor flying? How can I do? I am lost with all those strings!
It is essential to untangle well the bridle. If not, you can strongly distort the flight characteristics of the wing. To
untangle all the bridle fastly, drop the wing out of the backpack. Hold the riser by the endpoint and seize one by
one the bridle around the principal bridle package Always take first the most distant bridle.
My wing is caught in a thermal and gets altitude. What can I do to regain control?
This scenario is usual when convection conditions are present. In that case, no panic. Relax and maintain a trajec-
tory as rectilinear as possible to fastly go out of the thermal.
How can I maintain and clean my wing?
If you made your wing dirty, you can clean it with a wet cloth. You can rince it with clear water as well. Never use
chemical products! The tissue could be hardly damaged. Think of tidy your wing in a dry place, shielded from UV
and humidity.
