Paramotors
Contact us for more information on paramotorsAfter many years of trying different paramotors we now exclusively use Parajet paramotors. These machines represent the very latest design, are of extremely robust construction, and have electric start as standard. We recommend SKY paragliders as the ideal complement to the Parajet but can supply from a wide range of manufacturers.
Volution Paramotor
£4250
The Volution is a highly compact and transportable power unit, the aerofoil chassis and cage duct design offers enormously superior strength over conventional tubular sections. The unique aerofoil duct compresses propeller tip vortices resulting in a quieter flight.
The harness arrangement is available either as a low hang-point weight shift system or as an original DK style TRACS (torque reactive active cancellation system) harness which is perfect for beginners and those pilots who prefer not to use weight shift. Each type of harness has its own advantages, the weight shift design allows pilots to fly hands free for cross country flying, although it is less stable in more turbulent conditions. The high hangpoint design is not suitable for hands free flying but is much more stable in turbulent conditions.
The Volution is designed in such away that the electronics, wiring and battery are integral with the engine. Unlike any other paramotor, the engine and electronics unit can be literally plugged into the ‘Volution’ Also, every engine and running gear component is CNC in our UK factory, enabling us to keep stock of every part at all times. From both a maintenance and production point of view, the new Volution is a revolution.
