I feel the same way, and I do not own an Iris nor have I ordered one but I really love that frame. The Paramotor I have now treats me good but I want a little more and I feel like it’s the Iris Infinity XL.
I don't fly but I'm thinking about going for training someday. I've been looking at different paramotors and doing some research if the day comes I'm in the market for one. You've really put a lot of thought into your machines and I love that it's an American product.
@AndrewGlobus our swing arms as a complete system (with all the offsets) are break tested to over 12g at 140kg auw. This is a higher number than just about any other manufacture and about 3x stronger than something like Air Conception or Macfly (non acro) swing arms...
@@IrisPPG OpenPPG has the same solution. The second plate on the other side of the arm would reduce the torsional load. Do not take this as a criticism.
BTW, what you said is not entirely true. If the bolts were loose, they would be in shear, but because they are torqued down, the mating faces add other forces due to surface friction so the bolts experience tension as well. But regardless, that's one of the strongest parts of the whole system.
Hey bud, answered your email. The spars are held in place on the main frame with snap buttons which set the orientation but the torque fins are adjustable with friction brackets that hold them in place on the spars.
Hello a lot of info in these videos, I live in southeast Kentucky on the lake Cumberland area I'm wondering if anyone knows someone in this area who could give lessons and give me a advice on how to go about building my frame and motor, I have several motors to choose from everything from 150cc all the way up to 650 CC Suzuki motor that less than 3000 miles on it it came off of a motorcycle that I the bike has too much frame damage so I would like to take the engine and make a buggy or if it would work put it in a flying machine like this, I would appreciate any buddies input, thanks again and have a great week
I find myself just watching Iris videos while I wait for mine to arrive to feed the excitement.

Great video and explanation of this paramotor.

Thanks man. Feel free to reach out and we can set you up with a trainer closer to you and find you a tandem flight. ✌️
@@IrisPPG I've actually done a tandem flight already. My son got to go also and it was the day after his first tandem skydive 👍
Very nice design bro 👌
Such attachment of carabiners to the levers leads to the fact that the bolts work on shearing rather than on tension.

@@IrisPPGIt is not a criticism of your product. Shear strength of bolts is a well-known term in strength calculations. OpenPPG has the same solution.

@@IrisPPG You have a great product. Would you be interested in discussing technical nuances, perhaps new ideas in e-mail format?
Would like to fly one of these!
We will have several demo units at Salton Sea and Arizona Flying Circus ✌️
I saw some torque fins on the spars on your web site. How do you keep the spars from twisting in their sockets so the fins stay at the right angle?

Hey man. Come hang out in The Paramotor Garage group on Facebook. ✌️
