Honestly, I do not offer a return policy, instead I offer the assembly DVDs alone for $25 plus $3 S&H. These show exactly what it takes to build the frame, or...
Jordan, quick kicking tires and order the DVDıs . That should give you a feel for what is involved in building. You wonıt be disappointed. ... [Non-text...
I'll second that. I brought the plans and DVD's a couple of months ago and am extremely please with what I received. In my opinion you won't find a better self...
I third that. Not only is the Skybolt the easiest paramotor to build, I believe it is the best paramotor out there. It is incredible strong. While repairs are...
I finally got a chance to "bounce-test" my Skybolt. I was doing footdrags the other day and doing very low turns when I got into a little rotor coming off of...

Hi Jim, I really like the F33, but I am used to it in the FB configuration (High energy ign, tuned pipe, etc...). I like the low RPM torque of the larger...
Here's my comments on "time to build": I would guess that I spent about 20 hours on the frame, give or take. I spent probably another 15 hours on making the...
Hello evryone, Just joined the forum last night. I started to build 2 days ago and most of the bending is already finished.I am missing a little bit of metal...
