Paramotor Pre Flight Inspection Video!

BlackHawk Paramotors USA is proud to present our next Tips & Tricks Video! In this informative and easy-to-understand video, Mike Robinson of BlackHawk Paramotors USA covers what all Paramotor Pilots should include while conducting their pre-flight inspections.

Conducting a thorough pre-flight inspection is one of the most IMPORTANT things a Pilot can do. Unfortunately, this is one of the most OVERLOOKED procedures… Many Pilots think “I just flew yesterday and the Paramotor was fine, so I’ll just skip the pre-flight inspection today.” This is a major NO-NO! Conducting a thorough pre-flight before every single flight is an absolute must. It only takes a few minutes and can prevent problems long before they start.

Our most emphasized concern here at BlackHawk is Pilot safety. That’s the bottom line. Every decision we make and product we produce has safety in mind first. Conducting a proper pre-flight inspection of your equipment is all about personal safety. If you notice a loose bolt, a small crack, or anything out of the ordinary, you will be able to prevent a possible safety hazard long before it becomes one.

In addition to the obvious safety concerns, pre-flight inspections also help increase the longevity of your motor! Noticing a possible leak or issue before you fly can prevent your motor from incurring additional damage while in flight. We want to make sure all pilots can maximize their flight time and overall flying experience through continuing education. We hope this quick video helps!

It’s our goal to provide our customers and pilots in the Powered Paragliding Community with the answers and information they are looking for.

Featured in this video is the AirMax 220 Paramotor from BlackHawk. The AirMax has become our top selling motor and it features the absolute latest technology in the industry. The AirMax is a “versatile powerhouse machine.” It’s light enough for Foot-Launch application, yet strong enough to power a Quad. Pilots now have no need to purchase two motors if they wish to fly both Quad & Foot-Launch Paramotors! With a true 30hp, forced air cooling, available electric start, and a max payload of over 350 lbs, the AirMax is one of the best performing Powered Paragliders in the world. For more information about the BlackHawk AirMax 220 Paramotor, please visit BlackHawk’s AirMax webpage or call (209) 786-7899.

How to Properly Torque Your Paramotor Cylinder Head

Mike Robinson of BlackHawk Paramotors thoroughly demonstrates the proper, safe, and effective way to torque your Powered Paraglider cylinder head. This includes a look at the best tools for the job, how to use them, and what can potentially happen if this is not done correctly.

The importance of this topic should not be overlooked. Overall motor performance, and especially the longevity of your machine can be enhanced by spending a few minutes and properly torquing your cylinder head. This procedure is universal to other PPG brands on the market, therefore providing a valuable reference to anyone who wants to expand their motor knowledge-base. Additionally, this procedure can be used on many other types of 2-stroke motors.

Mike Robinson commented “The reason why we produce so many Tips & Tricks videos is two-fold… It’s what our customers have asked for, and much of our success is due to providing each person with what they need. Secondly, we want pilots to fly the same machine, safely, for years to come. We try to cover a variety of valuable topics and pick the ones our customers ask for the most. I make sure to spend enough time to thoroughly explain each topic, in an easy-to-understand format.”
