Is there a motor out there that is capable of 15kw that is lightweight? I'm thinking a brushless outrunner, like the "Predator", with a little more power....
Hey the electric PPG is already for sale. If you want one just buy it here: www.u-turnusa.com If you want information then just ask the guy that already built...
Yes I use a motor on my electric PPG that will turn a 51 inch 3 blade Simonini prop at 2350 rpm. That is more thrust than you will get from the actual...
I tried to post on the other site but it said I wasn't allowed to post. I only have 2 questions: What is the energy density of the batteries (Wh/Kg)? What is...

Hi Dell, Yes please tell me about the reality of your machine. Is it direct drive? how much does the craft weigh with and without the batteries? What is the...
Hi Guys, It looks like its using the PMG132 brushed motor it weighs 25lb and is built using cast alloy. I wonder if the internals could be repackaged in a...
Hi Richard, Sure if you live in the States purchase the pullies and bearings from a Powered Paraglider manufacturer if your like me and live in Australia...
Hi, I believe the Predator has the same RPM as a Radne-Raket, so any stock radne redrive or radne equipment should work fine (eg: Mosquito/Explorer PHG, or...
Hi Guys, If the lateral shear force you are talking about is the belt tension acting on the motor shaft then you could use an extra bearing on the other side...
Hi "imasuper0308", Well - that's the best advert you could have dreamed up for why nobody should buy your fictional electric paramotor! You've got zero idea ...
Hey Group, Now that electric is a hot topic in ultralights, thought I'd post my electric nanolight trike for sale. I spent about $1200 in machninist work...
Umm dude I have both sitting right here. Want to buy them? Because of people like you I'm not sharing any more of my experience in trying the Predator. You...
So the Predator is not a good choice as a motor then? I am not exactly a PPG enthusiast. I am a hang glider pilot but I have a wasp harness on order which...
I'd like to find a motor to replace the radne raket as light as possible and preferably brushless. The predator seemed almost ideal but the website gives me...
Hi Joe, Yeah - that dude's been posting to loads of different flying-related lists trying to sell his toy ("for less than he paid"), but his web site has...
Hi Joe, Sorry my post was about the side forces on the motor shaft. The Predator has a 10mm shaft and is designed to take the loads generated by a directly...
Joe, I think in time there will be plenty of direct drive motor propeller combinations its just at the moment these motors are being used in reactively quick...
Hello all, I am a new group member and just wanted to say howdy. I am a hang glider and trike pilot. I found a video of an electric PPG on youtube the other...
Thanks for the suggestions Mark. I haven't decided on a motor yet. I emailed Perm Motor re: their motors, but they balked at the application, or could not cope...
WOW Talk about passionate! Ha. I think with the right battery something like the perm motor would be ideal but Id like to seee in in a Brushless format. Its...
