PARAMOTOR CONSTRUCTION AND ITS PARTS
The stable and solid frame of the RC paramotor with 33 cm in diameter is made of stainless steel. As well
as the body of the pilot which is made of stainless steel sheet of 2 mm thickness. Both constructions are
connected to each other with four screws of 6 mm in diameter. Other parts of the paramotor include lever
arms of the pilot, which are made of 2 mm thick laminate plate. Pilot's legs are constructed of a silicone
hose, thanks to the chosen material, there is no risk of leg breaking when landing. The head, hands and
pilot's shoes are cast from special hard polyurethane.

SETTING UP ELECTRONICS
In case you buy a paramotor without any electronics or just with some electronic components, you must
first set up the complete electronics before the first use. The motor, controller, propeller and 2 servos are
required to start the paramotor. For complete flying you will also need a battery, receiver and RC
transmitter (radio).

Setting up the backpack (motor, speed controller, propeller)
Motor: There are drilled holes with threads to attach the motor at the rear of the backpack. The motor
isn't being balanced anymore. It's good for the cables from the motor to point up, for better connection
with the controller. Motor power should be at least 450 W.
Speed controller: There is a double-sided adhesive tape stuck to the motor under the attachment, on
which you stick the controller. The tape is strong and holds very well, so you don't have to worry about
losing the controller. Next, connect the controller to the cables from the motor. Always choose a controller
suitable for the parameters of the motor.
