Wow it would have been really adrenaline inducing to have a clutch and make it sound like a dirt bike climbing into the clouds. thank you for saying you tried the other motors and that the little one feels like the best fit. I've always had that very same feeling with motorcycles. Started on 50cc 2-strokes, had the time of my life for several years. I couldn't get enough of those little engines and rode all over the place. Then went up to R1 1,000cc, 650cc, and back down to 110cc, but this time it had to be 4-stroke, and it's NOT as much fun. It's just a ride now. And what you're describing here, is the very same thing. In the end, the little motors are the Fun motors. the ones you want to ride All the time
So stoked for you Jack!! I drive a wrx wagon, I use a heavy duty bike hauler strapped to the boot. That way I don’t have to disassemble my motor each time I travel. Works like a charm mate! Pm me if you need a pic to see what I mean...
Hey buddy! The eclipse is the lightweight frame designed for those who value weight. Personally it’s my favourite as who doesn’t want a light Paramotor. The rider is the flagship does it all Paramotor whether it’s solo flying or want to mount it to a trike or do tandem.
Thanks for the video. How did you find the comfort of the lightweight harness? Is it really as light as advertised? (~38 lbs!). I have flown the Atom 80 and loved it and really thinking about this lightweight unit. Will look forward to more feedback.
Hey man! No problem at all. It is really that light, it is insane. I find it a pleasure to fly, no issues with comfort at all. If you need any more info, get in touch!
Hi Toby! Yes I have! For me I prefer the Fly products because I find it easier to assemble, the parajet can be quite fiddly I find. As for flying, with the eclipse you feel far more connected to the glider thanks to the ASC arms. Its the closest I've felt to a paragliding harness and this is why I had to go for it!
@@TobyGHall no worries! It doesn't feel fragile at all, in fact the opposite. As for the harness, you can have the light harness as in the video or the comfort harness.
Yes I did, waiting for their response. But I guess it was just a little bit too much Oil, even though it was only the bottle that came with it. It came out of the breather valve.
@@JackPimblett cool cool, gonna pull a gun on one soon. been wanting one since last year, when I did a short test flight. it will be great backup and xc paramotor.
@@JackPimblett Awsome. Hey, first questuon i would have.. do you do any basic freestyle courses in EU region? Can wait for a flying video to se what you can pull of on eclipse.
@@pajorama11 yes I do buddy! Check out @riseparagliding on instagram or www.riseparagliding.com you can, always message us on there for more information!

Cant wait for the vids!!!
I can't wait to make them! Got so much energy built up from lockdown
Soooooo stoooooked!
Me toooo!

Thanks man! I'm stoked too, my car is not really the right car for this sport. I'd love to see your set up though!
Me too, can you post a picture here of how the bike hauler carries the paramotor?
Mega! Fly products seem decent too!
I love their kit!
Looking forward to see you put it through it’s paces.
Thanks man! Can't wait to do it either
What is the difference beetween eclipse and rider?

@@JackPimblett Thanks so much. I really appreciate the feedback. That REALLY helps with my decision. Best wishes and look forward to seeing more.
How much did it cost you?
Have you ever flown a maverick 80? If so how does it compare?
Hi Toby! Yes I have! For me I prefer the Fly products because I find it easier to assemble, the parajet can be quite fiddly I find.

@@JackPimblett Thanks for the reply, so you didn't feel the cage was fragile? The harness looks so minimalist but I guess it's not.
@@TobyGHall no worries! It doesn't feel fragile at all, in fact the opposite. As for the harness, you can have the light harness as in the video or the comfort harness.
@@JackPimblett thanks for the advice
What is the overall weight of the paramotor including prop, tank, harness meaning: ready to fly. Only add up the reserve and gasoline? Thx
18.5kg ready to fly. Add another 2kg of fuel for at least an hours fun or more 😁
Nice rig Jack!
Thanks brother!
Have you put any time on this motor yet Jack?
Hi Tom! Yes I've been flying it a lot, I've had so much fun with it. I'll put out some videos soon 😇
@@JackPimblett sent you a pm with suggested topics to cover. Thanks!
Did your reduction drive leak through the breathe valve, too?
Nope! I've just had petrol come through it sometimes when I haven't sufficiently drained it for travel.
Well okay 🤔 mine just spitted Oil from the reduction drive...
Oh no that's terrible! Did you contact Vittorazi?
Yes I did, waiting for their response.
But I guess it was just a little bit too much Oil, even though it was only the bottle that came with it. It came out of the breather valve.
Okay, well let me know if you need any help! Is it a Fly Products frame you have?
what is the size of tank? cant find specs online or homepage
Hey buddy! Mine is a 10L but you can have the option of the larger one too!
@@JackPimblett cool cool, gonna pull a gun on one soon. been wanting one since last year, when I did a short test flight. it will be great backup and xc paramotor.
@@pajorama11 Get it done! If you get in touch with me, I can give you all the best advice and see if we can hook you up !

Nice job man! Clear and consise 😅🥰🥰 Have you managed to fly it yet?! Love the engine noise on that thing!!
Thank you! Not sure it was all totally clear but I'm happy with it in the end. Not flown it yet! But I can now, we can from today!!
@@JackPimblett awesome!! We can since Monday, I did my first free flight today, boy how good it felt!! Make sure you record it, incredible feeling!!
hmm, how long have you been flying paramotors?
Not too long! I think my first flight on one was in 2016, then intermittently since then.
First!

You shave yours first and I'll shave mine 😂
@@JackPimblett hahahaha
