Powered ParaSports believes that, in aviation, of the utmost importance is the utilization of high quality, well tested equipment..... your life depends on it. In keeping with that philosophy, Powered ParaSports has chosen to offer equipment that has been recognized for its very high quality. The EAA (the Experimental Aircraft Association, based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin) has recognized the quality of Fly Products paramotors by awarding the Best Powered Paraglider award to Fly Products numerous times at its Sun & Fun fly-in Lakeland, Florida. FLY Products Paramotors have won the following awards and 1 st place titles: 2001 Parastars Convention
Thrust Contest (1 st place = Power Gold 130)
The complete line of FLY Products Paramotors are certified by DULV, a German certification agency, which is known to have very strict standards for structural safety, load tests, and engine noise levels. Worldwide there are just a few Powered Paramotor manufacturers who's paramotors hold DULV certification. Germany and Austria require DULV certification of ultralights. Equipment that is not DULV certified cannot be operated in those countries. Fly Products offers a wide range of models of paramotors to fulfill the varied needs of every pilot. Fly Products utilizes five different well proven motors in their various paramotor models. The thrust available from the various Fly Products paramotors ranges from 70 lbs. to 176 lbs.. The weight of the various Fly Products paramotor models ranges from 46 lbs. to 68 lbs.. Fly Products offers a paramotor that will meet the thrust requirements for nearly every size of pilot... up to a maximum pilot weight of 285 pounds. The most popular Fly Products paramotors fall into five basic model "series". They are:
Fly Products offers a wide range of models of powered paraglider trikes to fulfill the varied needs of those pilots that would prefer to fly a trike or those pilots that would like the flexibility to use their paramotor for both foot launched operations and trike launched operations. Fly Products utilizes two basic trike models, the ECO trike and the Flash B trike. The ECO trikes have a dedicated engine whereas the Flash B trikes utilize a standard paramotor that can also be utilized for foot launched operations. Trikes are typically easier to launch in light wind conditions or high density altitude conditions and provide for tandem operations with the proper pilot and equipment credentials. Fly Products offers a powered paraglider trike that will meet the requirements for nearly any pilot. The popular Fly Products powered paraglider trikes are listed below:
Please see the Paramotor Comparison Chart below to compare the various models of Fly Products Paramotors and Trikes in more detail. (Note: Package Prices Are Available)
The Fly Products Power Max... The Fly Products Power Max series paramotors combine the power of the Simonini G24 based Power Gold series paramotors (see Power Gold series below) with a number of additional very desirable features. The Power Max series paramotors are powerful, quiet, portable and versatile. They are suitable for pilot weights between 160 lbs and 440 lbs (tandem). The same central module can be used to form two different sizes of the Power Max paramotor. The model names reflect the propeller sizes... 115 cm/45", and 130 cm/51" with top thrust ratings of 150 lbs, and 176 lbs respectively. The frame is fully detachable and is specifically designed to allow the use of either a 115 cm/45" propeller/cage combination or a 130 cm/51" propeller/cage combination. The cage disassembles easily into a compact group of components to facilitate transportation. This the perfect paramotor for the pilot that wants a very powerful, very quiet, versatile, and very portable paramotor. Fly Products Power Max series paramotors use the reliable Simonini G24 engine with a chromed, tuned exhaust pipe, a maze silencer (not the stock Simonini exhaust system), a Bing 84 self-adjustable carburetor (no tuning or needle setting required), a carburetor intake silencer and a fully dismountable double ring cage. The Power Max paramotors come standard with an electric starter (an easy-over-the-shoulder manual starter option is available), a deluxe throttle with a low fuel warning light, a start / stop switch and an adjustable analog cruise control, a deluxe harness with high density foam back protector, quick release buckles and press gate carabineers, distance bars with an anti-torque system and weight shift control, an aeronautical aluminum frame with a fully dismountable double ring cage, stainless steel hardware, a 4.25 gallon gas tank for 3.5 hours of flying time, a 2 blade wooden propeller (carbon fiber 2 blade propeller, or composite 2 blade puzzle type propeller or composite 3 blade puzzle type propeller upgrades are available), a maintenance tool kit, an owner's manual and a six month engine manufacturer defect warranty.

The Fly Products Power Gold series... The Fly Products Power Gold Series paramotors are essentially the same as the Power Max Series paramotors, as described above, with a few minor differences. The most significant difference is the degree to which the Power Gold disassembles for transport is not quite as extensive as the with the Power Max. Please see the description for the Power Max above. The Fly Products Power Gold series are ideal paramotors for those pilots wanting a reliable paramotor with high thrust to weight ratio. The Gold series utilize the Simonini G24, 206 cc, 28 hp engine which has become a very popular motor in the paramotoring community. Fly Products utilizes a Bing slide type carburetor, and a tuned exhaust system on the Gold series motors. The Bing carburetor provides a smooth range of reliable power without "flat" or unstable RPM areas. The Gold series allows the same motor and frame to be used with different propeller sizes thus providing a range of top thrust with the same motor dependent upon the propeller and cage that are utilized. The model names reflect the propeller sizes... 95 cm/37", 115 cm/45", and 130 cm/51" with top thrust ratings of 121 lbs, 150 lbs, and 176 lbs respectively. The Gold 130 is well suited to power the tandem (or single seat) Fly Products Trike Flash. See Trike Flash below. To go to the Simonini Motors web site, click here.

The Fly Products Kompress... The Fly Products Kompress Paramotor is the latest addition to the array of Fly Products Paramotors. It incorporates nearly all of the features that have proven to be desirable in the course of the evolution of paramotors. In both power and weight it falls between the most powerful/heavier paramotors and the less powerful/lighter paramotors. While the other paramotors are very well suited to larger or smaller paramotor pilots, the Kompress is very well suited for the average paramotor pilot. The Kompress comes in two versions, the standard version with a manual start and the deluxe version with an electrical system and electric start. The standard version is approximately 6 lbs lighter than the deluxe version. The Fly Products Kompress Paramotor is exceptionally quiet due to the use of a Righetti intake carburetor silencer and a chromed tuned exhaust pipe with a maze silencer. It utilizes a wooden propeller. As an option the 2 blade wooden propeller can be replaced with a two piece, two blade puzzle type composite propeller or a three blade puzzle type composite propeller. It has a fully dismountable 2 piece frame and six piece cage which disassemble easily into a compact group of components allow it to be transported in a hard sided airline approved sized suitcase. The Fly Products Kompress paramotor has a throttle that is fitted with a stop switch and an adjustable (analog) cruise control; as well as a start switch and fuel low level warning light on the deluxe version.

The Fly Products ECO 2 Trike... The Fly Products ECO 2 Trike is a hybrid, powered paraglider trike, powered by a high performance, certified aircraft type, 50 horsepower, Rotax 503 engine and 63 inch, ground adjustable, propeller that generates 320 pounds of thrust. Despite its similarities to a traditional powered parachute (PPC) the ECO 2 Trike retains many of the features of the Fly Products Flash B trike (see below) that make it so versatile and desirable. The ECO 2 Trike can be operated either solo under Part 103 as an ultralight, or Tandem. (Note: Tandem operations are reserved under Part 103 of the FARs for instructional purposes only.) Until January 31, 2008 a Tandem ECO 2 Trike can be converted to an Experimental Light Sport Aircraft Powered Paraglider. Once converted to a certified aircraft it can be operated under Part 91 of the FARs which allows for the carriage of a passenger. ECO 2 Trikes that are not converted to Experimental Light Sport Aircraft Powered Paragliders prior to January 31, 2008 can continue to be operated with a single seat under Part 103. The ECO 2 Trike folds into a very compact assembly for transport.
The Fly Products ECO 4 Trike...
The Fly Products Eco 4 Trike is
similar to the ECO 2 with the exception that it is powered by an aircraft grade
four stroke Flanders V engine which makes it a much quieter, more fuel
efficient.
The Fly Products Flash Trike Deluxe ... The Fly Products Flash Trike Deluxe allows for solo or tandem powered paraglider flights from a wheeled vehicle. (Note: Tandem operations are reserved under Part 103 of the FARs for instructional purposes only.) Until January 31, 2008 a Tandem Flash Trike Deluxe can be converted to an Experimental Light Sport Aircraft Powered Paraglider. Once converted to a certified aircraft it can be operated under Part 91 of the FARs which allows for the carriage of a passenger. Although the Fly Products Power Gold series (115 & 130), the Fly Products Power Gold series (115 & 130), and the Fly Products Kompress are the easiest to utilize with the Flash Trike Deluxe, other paramotors may be utilized with it as well. Ready for flight the Flash Trike Deluxe has a lateral wheel base of 74 inches which combined with its very low center of gravity make it extremely stable during ground handling, even in cross wind conditions. The 16” (42 cm.) Roleez wheels on the Flash Trike Deluxe make operations on soft surfaces such as sand possible. They also cushion firm landings and the ride during takeoffs and landings on rough surfaces. The Trike Flash folds into a very compact assembly for transport. Ready for transport the assembly weighs only 35 lbs and is only 19 inches wide and 67 inches long. An aircraft as portable, as versatile, and as the inexpensive as the Flash Trike Deluxe is very unique.
