31.12.09: A new development has started,…………. and stopped due to funds issue. It is to make a paramotor unit with the heavier GX420 engine, again as a direct drive motor. Power as standard is 15hp at 3600rpm. A few mods will get this upto 20hp at the same revs. Free-flow air filter, exhaust, alloy flywheel and milled cylinder head. If power is still a little low then a bored carb or a Mikuni carb should do the trick. I was at first considering fitting a Konig/CRE SC-430 radial engine prop. 42″ (107cm) which develops upto 65kg thrust at 4000rpm/20-22hp. Now I’m considering a 44″ GSC ground adjustable prop as a friend has offered his for testing. Peak rpm would be lower than the Konig type prop and be roughly around 3600rpm.
