Hendrik, Your dream is like many others and I'm thankful for those who act on such ideas. I'm far from an expert -- more of a conduit I suppose. I'll forward...
Hi, As far a torque goes is is very possible that counter rotating propellers could be used no more torque. Secondly imagine a cage that opens and closes like...
Hello, all, I'm a petite, middle-age woman who is just dying for an electric PPG! I have an Adventure that is too heavy for me, and noisy, and smelly and takes...

Hello! I'm very interested in PPG, but probably to chicken to actually try it. So for now my interest will be with the motors and controls that power this...
Hi Welcome, Sorry not at home at the moment, I will send more details later but the motor is a Plettenberg Predator google Icare on the net they sell the motor...
Terry, I'm forwarding your message to the electricPPG yahoo group where other electric minded pilots/developers can see it. Some have posted links to other...

Aloha: I've just joined the group although I have some experience flying electric powered hanggliders (an Easy Riser) some 256 years ago. Does anyone have any...
Hi David, The Neu Motors are very exciting high efficiency and high out put. Im waiting for him to produce a 10-15 kw motor. Then we could add a poly vee belt...
Hi, Oh yes I forgot to say. Just thought I would mention that electric flight will not be cheap in the short term. Batteries cost a ton but the benefits of no ...
Aloha: Let me correct the 256 years downward a bit. I've tried to get information from Hacker about their C-50 Quad motor system. It's a bit steep at $3K, but...
... I follow closely the discussions here on e-PPG though I'm more interested in e-motos. I think both sports need basically the same drive technologies:...
ALOHA: It might be good news if the ETEK is back, but they may just have leftover supplies from an earlier production run. I sgtill have a nearly unused one...
Hi Guys The Etek is a bit heavy for its power output for a PPG but the Brushless version may be interesting. As yet I have not been able to get any solid ...
Interesting observation! (to a report on http://www.electricPPG.com) I'll send this to the discussion group with my response. Others, far smarter than I, may...

I was thinking, Has the concept of a hybrid power harness been tried before? This would add complexity to the system but would allow the use of a small battery...
David, its comforting to see that I am not the only one who has thought of this. Although a fuel cell would simplify the whole process the gas motor basically...

Hi, Not an expert but here is my 5 cents... Petrol engines combined with electric is going to create more things that can go wrong. The car industry use hybrid...
Guys, I'm just forwarding this message that came to footflyer but think it was intended for us here. Jeff G. Cool on the electric PPG competition! ... From:...
Hi, I know zilch about such stuff, but I have a friend in Lawrence, Kansas, who has been using a self-launching winch with his hang-glider for years and years....
Once you require a gas motor and fuel and all that goes with it, much of the benefit seems lost. In a car, there are efficiencies derived from using the drive...
