I'm sad to see the sweet baseball caps you used to sell are no longer available. I have both the black one with the leather badge and the orange/gray one, and I love them both. But they are both showing their age and are in need of replacement! I thought giveaway time was the perfect time to re-up on them, but alas, they are no more. 😢
I got to check out this exact paramotor in person. I have no experience flying this engine but I sure do like the idea of a 4 stroke paramotor engine. And I can tell you it is a very good looking engine. It looks very well made and is aesthetically pleasing as well. I also like the Fly Products frame. I think whoever gets this paramotor is going to be very happy with it. Thanks for letting us check it out Tucker. 🙂
@TuckerGott you are sn amazing influence to the sport of powered paragliding i actually git into the sport because of you. I'm not old enough yet but I hope too see you one day. thank you so much
I agree that not having the ability to operate the choke with the paramotor on your back is somewhat of an inconvenience. A modification with a choke cable running alongside the throttle cable is probably the most viable solution, and safer, because you know most pilots will simply resort to starting it on the ground. That was pretty funny. The spectator wanted a picture of the motor, not you Tucker. He didn't know you're an infamous RUclipsr.
It’s not a problem. You start the motor on the rack or table or ground and let it warmup for 2-3 minutes at idle, with a prop strap, while you setup your glider. That’s when you would apply and release the choke. You then start the motor without the prop strap, on your back when you’re ready to walk out to the glider. It’s warm and will now start easily and won’t cause you to put it on and take it off 5 times trying to get it started when it’s cold. The odds of a full throttle start are also very low because you have just verified it’s in prop operating condition.
I use a micro linear actuator, (Amazon!) and it's optional wireless remote (like a key fob) to operate the oil cooler shutter on my kitplane, when winter flying. In use for several years, no power used when not moving, 1.1 " stroke. The whole weighs just ozs.
Torquey! It DOES sound like a DR-Z400! I used to have an S model when they first came out over 20 years ago. Should have MUCH better throttle response than a 2-stroke, especially at small throttle openings. A couple things with a 4-stroke carburetor with a float bowl: The slide is usually vacuum-operated with no direct connection to the throttle. The throttle cable is connected to a butterfly valve - just a round disc in the carb throat on the engine side of the carb. These work really well in that they somewhat compensate for temperature and altitude due to the slide lifting the needle out of the main jet enough to match the amount or density of air coming in. It's no fuel injection, but it's better than a 2-stroke carburetor in that regard.' As just about a lifelong mechanic, my preference is always a 2-stroke - lighter, faster, cheaper, simpler. All BIG wins in my book. When tuned right they can be every bit as reliable as a 4-stroke. But that's just me! Haven't seen you in a while. My job takes up 99% of my free time these days. Ya look good, brother!! Good to see ya! 👍😎👍
Awesome, I've been hoping to see more reviews on this engine since seeing it awhile ago on another channel. Vitto's EFI was intriguing but a good 4 stroke alternative is what a lot of us were really hoping for.
Sweet video. Audio was better than ever. The 4 stroke sounds incredible. Also, great explanation with visuals on the difference between 2 and 4 strokes. I learned something.
Epic Video man! The shirts and hoodies are so dope🔥🔥 The EOS Looks Amazing, sounds good and all around an epic machine! Funny how that guy came up to take pictures 😂 I love the first start up!!! Can’t wait to see her fly!!
I would imagine the torque is very spread out all the way around the rpm range, better fuel mileage, more reliable, maybe a little heavier than a 2 stroke
I flew UL's for years, all 2 strokes, and when I got my first small 4 stroke powered plane, I didn't miss mixing my fuel and oil at all! Especially when on a XC. They just sound better too, but damn it's hard to beat th epower to weight ratio of a 2 er. I've had a little 4 stroke German made weed wacker for several years, the smallest 4 stroke I've ever seen, and it never fails to start in 1 or 2 pulls, great tech.
I saw and heard this engine last year at Salton. I am hopeful it will have the reliability necessary for me. So we now have the power of an Aero1000 with the weight of the Bailey. And hopefully, the reliability of a Moster.
Even though I am no paramotor pilot and have no plans to become one I love your channel and all your videos. Also the fact that I used to live in Mesa Arizona makes the videos extra special for me to watch. Love seeing superstition mountain. 😀
It would be nice if they could somehow incorporate the choke into the throttle with a choke cable or something. I really like the idea of the 4 stroke paramotor and think it’s probably gonna be popular in the near future
It's a game changer unless you only have a car, and not a van, truck, or really big SUV, and you need to remove the cage and prop, and lay the thing on its back across the rear seats to transport it to and from the LZ, because if you try to do that with a 4-stroke engine, the oil might get places it shouldn't, like the inside of the cylinder, or past an open/leaky valve and into the exhaust or carburetor, none of which are good. So, whenever I get my first paramotor, it'll be a 2-stroke, not a 4-stroke. Like, I get that I'm probably in the minority here, and that this'll be great for most people, but it's just not a good fit for me personally. That being said, this is still really cool, and I can definitely see this being very popular in the future
Can’t go wrong with a 4 stroke 🎉 I made a couple of motorized bicycles 1 was 2 stroke and another was 4 stroke and there’s no comparison that the 4 stroke performance is better overall ❤
Looks like a very clean design implementation. Hopefully that translates out into dependability, and is not just skin deep. I usually find that to be the case, that care in one aspect of design and construction carries through to the other, but it is not a requirement/guarantee. I'm talking about aspects like using a more complex and expensive old school automotive or standard old school motorcycle slide carb, rather than a simpler, less costly butterfly arrangement, those clean castings, nice accessible layouts, taking the care to put oil level viewing ports, etc. Great job on the overview, concise and reasonably complete, perfect for the intent. Shout out to the engine designer(s), especially if the dependability pans out. Nicely done. Love it when engineers CARE about their output. Any more, that is not remotely a given. I'll bet that exhaust note will be a lot more pleasant in the air, than a screaming two stroke. Nice 'Bewitched' type editing on the walking shirt changes, better than theirs, actually. I don't know if it was intentional, but the look on your face after the guy ignored what you said completely, and wanted you to model the thing for pics, was priceless. One thing I saw that would be nice would be a choke actuator on the hand control, maybe with a flip up cover or recess to prevent accidental activation. It would be nice to be able to go through that sequence while on your back, one hoist only, if that is not the case. Maybe you were just verifying for first flight, also a great idea until you gain trust.
Can you turn the choke off while it's on your back? Looks good, but it would be a pain to have to warm it up on choke then take it off to turn the choke off?
Once in a lifetime opportunity this week. UAP drones are being spotted everywhere, but mainly in NJ. YOU'RE our only hope of getting real UAP footage. Fly to one and record it up close!!! For humanity!!
Before watching, I'm guessing you'll like it. Torque, sound, reliability and fuel economy. You'll get a lot for a little added weight. Its low end torque should offer great low speed cruising. *4 Stroke Crank Case : The Stihl leaf blower 4 stroke has no crank case oil it uses a 2 stroke gas mix, lighter and works upside down. Curious what this paramotor's using. *4 Stroke motors have a breathing stroke exhaling exhaust then taking in gas/air. Most 2 stroke motors purge their cylinder with more fuel/air than is needed to get rid of most of the exhaust gas, this is a BIG waste of gas. However direct fuel injection can eliminate the loss.
Great looking Motor and Frame. Sounds Awesome! Is there a way to remotely operate the Choke? A choke cable to the frame or even a servo on a switch to operate on and off. We are in cold weather season here in the North East and I can imagine you will need Choke to start in the cold, and taking off gear and gloves etc. in full winter gear would be chore.
Its total madness that you have to take it off your back to take the choke of. If it was mine it would not be long for a bowden cable to be jury rigged to that so I could operate the choke in the harness.
Watching again on my big screen! The cell just does not have the sound to get the full experience. 2nd shirt ordered! I'm glad I watched this again on my big screen, I missed some detail before.
I have a old 4stroke paramotor ( bailey v2 180cc) with 635 hours on it. And i love it. Its eavy and slow🤣 but very fuel eficient. And quattro is my dream! Hope this quattro comes to Portugal to me! 😅
Tucker gott done gott swole. Welcome to az btw sir. I was riding my mtb at Hawes and saw some paramotors ripping and was thinking to myself, I wonder if that’s TG?
This will be test run at the factory and then drained, there will be plenty of residual oil left in galleries etc. I assume it has a tiny oil pump if it has a filter. Would be good to get a look inside!
OH Tucker good job that you work out because it looked seriously heavy like my Bailey 4 stroke about 9 years ago, I sold that to "Paranoob" great videos on his channel
@@TuckerGott Could you do us a favor and put the motor (Quattro with Rider inkl. reserve) onto a scale? I only once had the chance to weigh the Quattro - but it was on a very heavy frame and my (suitcase) scale did not go past 40 kg 🤕. Thanks in advance!
Last time I did that with the electric motor, the video didn't perform well. So I will probably make it a segment of a future video, just not an entire video dedicated to the noise.
Hi, my name is Stewart. I'm using my wife's RUclips channel here in Naples Florida. Very good stuff. Tucker very good. Sounds really throaty. I can't believe it's almost 285 cc's that's pretty good. Did it look like you were using some Lucas super high zinc oil? I think that was like racing go-kart oil. Maybe for a four-stroke racing? Go-kart engine enjoy man. Enjoy it. Yeah no fuss, no muss. No mix with the gas. I've been messing with two cycles since like the '70s. Oh well. Have a great day.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Those motor mounts are polyurethane motor mounts and I would imagine the reason they don't use those on the 2 cycle motors is because the 2 cycle vibration is worse than a 4 cycle and polyurethane is more ridgid then a rubber motor mount as far as getting 2 cycle engines to be more dependable ive found that if I add sta-bal fuel treatment to my mixed fuel it makes a huge difference with any issues I have with my 2 cycle or 4 cycle engines
Two strokes for life; less moving parts, less things to break, run them a little rich and they last forever. Not to mention the power to weight ratio. The outboard I run on my boat is 41 years old and will run for another 40 years if I just run some carb clean through it and replace the spark plugs every once in a while.
The problem with 2 strokes lays between the headset ! I fly 2 stroke ( actually 4 , 2 at the same time) 45 years 60/75 h per year , never had a major trouble ! when even in an official FAA book is the fuel pump wrong mounted !! The engine will fail !! Look at the specs cooling temperature. max 80 C etc. ( Rotax 582) check the EGT if it goes over 1200 F reduce pwr etc. then you will have a lot of fun with your 2 stroke . By the way a Rotax 912 (80) hp has not more thrust then a 582 !!(64hp)
This should have been a video you made about 10 years ago! I can’t believe it’s taken someone this long to make a 4-stroke motor But a little concerned it’s not fuel injected. Can anyone with more knowledge comment on whether a carb or fuel injection would be better?
Fuel injection is always better! But, then you need a pressure pump, regulator, ECU, several sensors. It adds up! You can get fuel injection kits for Honda 200cc engines (for go-karts) that would work great on this, but I can see why they kept it simple and light.
God I wish I could enter to win! I wish I could just fly a paramotor, period! Unfortunately that won't happen in this life, but hopefully I'll enjoy the freedom of open air flying in the next life! Good luck to all those entering and happy flying!
From now until January 10th, 2025, every $5 spent on www.tuckergott.com gets you one entry to win this sweet EOS Quattro four stroke paramotor!

Tucker, you need to come back to New Jersey with that new paramotor and chase down some of those mystery drones!
That's how you get shot down by an experimental drone lmao
How anyone believes the government doesn’t know what they are is the only
Mystery

I would be wire locking those exhaust springs, As you said.. its a big lump of an exhaust that would spoil your day if it fell off mid flight.

@TuckerGott I've loved all the others. Sadly, I may need to retire one soon. This one will be the replacement. 👍🏻👍🏻
Is this engine Air-Cooled/ oil cooled? Like a VW engine?
@@MarkLoves2Fly Yes, it has an oil cooler but the engine itself is air cooled.
Hey Tucker, Met you Briefly on Lost Dutchman Road. You are truly the paramotor God
Really excited for the flight review!
It would also be cool to know what companies offer frames that have mounting plates accommodate the motor.

Beautiful engine and exhaust note. Chris from Uk. 👍👍👍
I didnt have a choke on my homemade KT 100. I used to squirt a bit of easy start. Started every time. Still going strong 8 years later.
Nice torque and sound!
Can you turn the choke off while it's on your back? Looks good, but it would be a pain to have to warm it up on choke then take it off to turn the choke off?
Nope. I’m sure there is a way to add a cable to have control of it while the motor is on your back. The polini is the same way.
Super excited Tucker!
Saw three of you flying around out there Sat. around sunset.
Sounds and looks awesome man
hmm, will there be options to control the choke when sitting in the harness?
I know Polini has this option, I am not sure if EOS will do the same.
the carb has an accelerator pump inside, just pull throttle 1 or 2 times when engine is cold - it will run.
The 4 stroke looks like it rips. Sounds great too!
That is one sweet setup.🌀🛸🪂
Cool to see a 4 stroke!
That motor sounds like a BEAST
Once in a lifetime opportunity this week. UAP drones are being spotted everywhere, but mainly in NJ.
YOU'RE our only hope of getting real UAP footage. Fly to one and record it up close!!! For humanity!!
I’d love to but don’t they only fly at night?
It sounds like a beast for sure
Before watching, I'm guessing you'll like it. Torque, sound, reliability and fuel economy. You'll get a lot for a little added weight. Its low end torque should offer great low speed cruising.
*4 Stroke Crank Case : The Stihl leaf blower 4 stroke has no crank case oil it uses a 2 stroke gas mix, lighter and works upside down. Curious what this paramotor's using.

What a machine, Great Video
Sweet! Hopefully they build a slightly lower displacement one in the future to drop some more weight.
Can you review that 1290 too?
Great looking Motor and Frame. Sounds Awesome! Is there a way to remotely operate the Choke? A choke cable to the frame or even a servo on a switch to operate on and off.

I'm sure there is a way. Polini has an option but on my 303, I just do the same. Set the motor down to take the choke off.
the carb has an accelerator pump inside, just pull throttle 1 or 2 times when engine is cold - it will run.
Its total madness that you have to take it off your back to take the choke of. If it was mine it would not be long for a bowden cable to be jury rigged to that so I could operate the choke in the harness.
Sweet! This sounds great!
Watching again on my big screen! The cell just does not have the sound to get the full experience.
2nd shirt ordered! I'm glad I watched this again on my big screen, I missed some detail before.
A little wire on the frame that lets you pull to close the choke like over your shoulder would be cool for this.

Tucker gott done gott swole. Welcome to az btw sir. I was riding my mtb at Hawes and saw some paramotors ripping and was thinking to myself, I wonder if that’s TG?
Would it be better on it with a 3 prop or not
There are pros and cons. I believe this engine is new enough, they haven't made a three blade yet.
@TuckerGott just wondering if it would be smoother
When adding oil to a dry engine, you want to turn it over and get oil through all the passages, then refill.
This will be test run at the factory and then drained, there will be plenty of residual oil left in galleries etc. I assume it has a tiny oil pump if it has a filter. Would be good to get a look inside!
OH Tucker good job that you work out because it looked seriously heavy like my Bailey 4 stroke about 9 years ago, I sold that to "Paranoob" great videos on his channel

I fly 2 stroke ( actually 4 , 2 at the same time) 45 years 60/75 h per year , never had a major trouble ! when even in an official FAA book is the fuel pump wrong mounted !! The engine will fail !! Look at the specs cooling temperature. max 80 C etc. ( Rotax 582) check the EGT if it goes over 1200 F reduce pwr etc. then you will have a lot of fun with your 2 stroke . By the way a Rotax 912 (80) hp has not more thrust then a 582 !!(64hp)
Needed a new hoodie. Need a new paramotor. Win win win.
This should have been a video you made about 10 years ago!
I can’t believe it’s taken someone this long to make a 4-stroke motor
But a little concerned it’s not fuel injected.
Can anyone with more knowledge comment on whether a carb or fuel injection would be better?
Fuel injection is always better! But, then you need a pressure pump, regulator, ECU, several sensors. It adds up! You can get fuel injection kits for Honda 200cc engines (for go-karts) that would work great on this, but I can see why they kept it simple and light.
@@evan010101 nice one thanks 👍🏻
I'm entered!! Good luck me!! Awesome give a way Tucker.
Good luck!!!
Hey Tucker. Get you gear and go and check out those drones.
yeah that sounds freaking rad
God I wish I could enter to win! I wish I could just fly a paramotor, period! Unfortunately that won't happen in this life, but hopefully I'll enjoy the freedom of open air flying in the next life! Good luck to all those entering and happy flying!
I'm glad they came out with a four stroke motor. I think it will be more reliable.
I'd love to see that on my trike !
