Now place the brake arm on the servo plastic arm and use 2 short philips
screws for fixing them as on the picture. Do the same for the other servo.
If it’s necessary, don’t hesitate to drill again the holes. The distance
between the holes on the brake arms can change depends on the servos
you use.
Set the brake arms and the servo arms at the upper mechanical position.
Then put the servo screw in order to not loose the plastic arm during the
flight
Towpoint settings :
This step is very important and can affect the flight characteristics of
your paramotor.
There are 3 differents holes for the risers positions. You have to select
these holes depend on the center of gravity position. When you pull the
frame ( with all the equipment), it has to get 5° higher than the horizontal.
If it’s less than this tilt, move forward the risers positions. If it’s over 5°,
move the risers backward.
One time you have found the correct settings, take the following items :
-
2x screws CHC M4-40
-
6x nuts M4
-
4x washers M4
Insert a screw CHC M4-40 with 2 M4 washers as shown on the picture. The
riser has to be between these 2 washers.
After, use 2 nuts for locking the screw on the side frame. Place the nuts by
each side. Tighten all strongly and do the same on the opposite side.
Motor Installation
The motor plate is designed to hold the motor by 4 holes.
Use 4 CHC M3-20 , M3 washers and nuts to mount the motor as on the
picture.
For beginning, we don’t advise to put angle on the motor in order to avoid
torque effect. The motor we advise for this kit don’t provide torque effect.
If you use a more powerfull motor, then you will need to place a few angle
on the motor in order to fly in a straightly way.
Please don’t forget to check the rotation of the motor. This one has to
rotate clockwise when you look the frame by the back. Ifnot, reverse 2 of
the 3 wires of the motor.
Don’t forget to pay attention on the propeller. The leading edge has to be on
the front and the trailing edge on the back, if not you will loose trust.
For an indoor / outdoor use, we advise to get a 3S 2600 to 4500mAh.
This one has to be place on the lower plate and to be well fixed (by a strap
or velcro tape)
Note that it’s also very important when you change the battery, to place the
new one exactly at the same place. Ifnot it will change your flight
characteristics.
