Thank you!

thanks for that! share the videos if you love them!

Thank you!

PPG GORILLA yeah the new Gin Gliders just pop up so easy now it’s amazing - just about anyone can make it look good these days with the right wing! This model is the one that jumps up the slowest, the next levels up are the most fun!

Aaron Owsianny thanks we can teach you the same if you want!

How much did you pay for your mini trike?

curtis mathes - I paid $2,100? Whatever the list price is for new. I do wish I could have found one used but such is life.

Thank you Nicole

ripman ridin you should come try it - it’s a lot of fun!

That's a good trike and yes it's so easy to start on wheels

Josh Wilson oh that’s not even an attempt at donuts, I’ll strap the moster 185 on & do some donuts for you next time!

Matt Minyard you made that Atom 80 look bad ass. Awesome kinda downwind launch!

yeah buddy! all we have is the good stuff to fly!

Yep we love these little pap trikes

I decided not to go to Salton Sea this year, going to Costa Rica instead for JACO Airfest

YO CREO QUE MATT,..NO HABLA ESPAÑOL,...

Muchas Gracias Juan Santana, yo entiendo espanol, pero yo no hablas todo, yo hablas un poco

Let us know if you want one we will make it happen!

I'm sayin!!! I'd love to fly an Atom 80 but my left ass cheek weighs that much!!🦍🦍

Big people can fly too you know, our largest student foot launched at 330#s, he still loves to fly!

Sign up online and I can give you a call to answer all of your questions fly@paramotorlouisiana.com

Yeah for sure call me for more info on that one 3372300929

You can covert it simply if you know how to install the parts

@@minyardmatt Cool so just need the new carb and the WB mount correct?? I can do that :)

Audie Carter trikes can be 20 Lbs up to 200 plus pounds, as for the pilot, there is no limit that I have ever heard of, usually we need to know the pilots weight & the weight of the trike he flies to choose a wing. Please send all your details to fly@paramotorlouisiana.com for an in detail answer with all the options for trikes. Thanks - quick version answer is a Gin Gliders Pegasus 2 like you see in this video in size 26-28-30 usually works, in the event of a very heavy trike +500 Lbs and up to 1000 Lbs you would move up to the Gin Condor which is a high performance heavy lifting wing designed for large trikes that want to have lots of lift & a very nice glide ratio.

With some customizing you can make it fit really easily, will it plug in right now, no... The Macfly frame resembles the fly products frame more than the pap for mounting a trike. I would suggest to try the Macfly trike and see if it fits. Macfly is titanium, Pap is stainless if you have to do any welding.

Nahhh its not much different when i fly foot launch + trike on the same hang points, honestly i dont even change my settings here as you can see

Epic Adventure PPG yes of course that’s the best combo to get - I’ve got a new one if you want in stock ready to fly!

That's awesome! I have a perfectly good Parajet Maverick Sport that I love. I like the concept of this design though.

Peter Velazquez hi the smallest most portable trike we have is 20 pounds & made by Macfly

hi i have flown all over the SE side of australia... They have a guy sky mec of fly mec who sells macfly in australia.. you can link up with him.. he has good gear for you if you want a macfly moster on a trike. I dont know of pap dealers there or anyone else who has titanium frames & trikes..

Jeff Stone at our size it is a great motor to fly, we have 210 pound pilots fly it often. 165-175 is perfect for this motor.

@@minyardmatt at 4500 feet elevation would it still be alright for 170 lb?

Yes they are built in the south of Spain in paradise

ChrisLawley yep this is the P.AP. Specific trike!

it works automatically when you have it set right

Thanks matt

@@minyardmatt Have you tried a WASP paramotor?

They are easier to fly & they are amazing! You just sit down & hit the gas, aim straight & wheels up! Landing is a piece of cake, you never feel the weight on your shoulders while flying a trike. Totally the smartest way to fly a Paramotor. Let me know if I can help you get the best gear to fly with.

I was wondering the same thing, this looks like a great option for me. I'll check out your website

@@minyardmatt what I like is the potential flexibility. Suppose you wanted to fly a longer trip, or with a small duffel bag -- you could use the trike, and carry it in your lap while reclining back. Reclining in a trike would be more comfortable for a longer cross-country trip.

@@manofsan sounds great! Fly XC with a duffel = easy!

@@minyardmatt I'd like your informed opinion: Suppose you had a wheelbarrow frame with its single wheel, and you were pulling it behind you using your harness, with the paramotor mounted to that frame, sort of like how you had it mounted to that trike. Could it be possible to achieve foot launch that way? (like say, for a fatter or elderly, out of shape people who can't run well carrying the full weight of the paramotor)

John Rivera I’m afraid the most important piece to a trike flight is a very strong stuff cage, you have to be careful using a trike with a flexible cage you may damage something, this aluminum cage Paramotors usually need a crossbar or some extra support to fly with trikes, yes it can be done but be careful with that frame on your trike. In this video the frame is very strong & has a titanium cage to keep it very stiff, I weight 155#s, this trike is 30 or 35 pounds I believe with the large tires I think it’s 35 & my motor is also about 50 pounds with the amount of fuel I had in the tank. Approximately 240 pounds all up in this video. I have trikes available that can be modified to fit on every Paramotor, however if you are going to use your own frame you need to be sure that your cage does not touch the prop. If your prop can strike your cage by hand easily it is not strong enough.

Rusty Chace this wing is a 28m Gin Gliders Pegasus 2

Carl Smith for pilots who don’t want to run, you sit down & roll in a trike!

Matt Minyard Thx! Is that it, or is there more to it?

Yeah I would have been laughing just as much if I had known about it when it happened!

@@minyardmatt , I'm glad you didn't see it. It could have had adverse effects on your flight. I know it would me. I'm a emotional person so I can just imagine. Even now, my poor dog can only pee in designated places. Glad it was a material that is resistant and they considered rinsing it before you took off. Drip, drip...

@@ranman58635 I could care less about a dog peeing on my glider, it would fly the exact same way!

@@minyardmatt , great way to end a conversation.

Paramotor Louisiana

The link to anything flying related would be fly@paramotorlouisiana.com

Dwane Hudson this is not a home made trike, it’s available from P.AP. Which we keep in stock & sell this trike for $2,100 shipped to you. You can modify most Paramotors to fit if you need to make it work on your flat top you would have to do some fabrication or just get one of the frames that is designed for it & it will fit like you see in this video!

Sweet give me a call or email fly@paramotorlouisiana.com

We happen to know if you call or reach out online we have a webstore online for selling everything paramotorlouisiana.com

No idea what you are talking about? When is it in the video let's see it

Johnk Phillips $7450 & $2100

165#s

yes sir

Yeah they are the factory line guides that you can see on macfly website if you shop for trikes and if I had to measure they are about the size of your fist or hand grabbing onto the cage rim. Hope that helps, we can send pics with a tape measure if you need exactly but in any case a 4-6 inches line guide works wonders and is plenty enough

@@minyardmatt The PAP website lists two different sizes and I'm not sure which to get. What are the different sizes in reference to? The length or what? Thanks.

@@razorsharpbt124 ahhh ok yeah I understand the question now, it's 14 or 16mm and if it's a tinox titanium cage we have those clips and we have smaller for the stainless steel cage, yeah use a caliper and measure your cage diameter for that information or ask your dealer

@@minyardmatt Thank you!

What is the best way to contact you to order a paramotor?

Trike

Foot

Email me fly@paramotorlouisiana.com

Jeff Peff yeah you can fly tandem with a trike if you have the tandem exemption & the skills!

Matt Minyard Yes, but is the PAP trike big enough to get a tandem harness within its wheelbase? I like it because it breaks down small enough to get in an suv, so I wouldn’t need a trailer!

Jeff Peff yes, they have a front seat base that attaches to the front of the trike to fly tandem, yes it will fit in your car just fine & yes I have one if you want just reach out to me @ paramotorlouisiana.com

This is a PPG Trike, Goodluck making one as good as this, most people try & fail.. Over 20 years of building trikes i think they know whats best. Also our motor are much more reliable than you imagine, if you had one you would know how they are. Come visit us and see how many old motor we have that we still use daily.

@@minyardmatt Cool. Yes, true, I have no personal experience, just all the videos I seen with titles like 10 hours needs major maintenance, 15 hours, self destructed, and SOO many I see flying on the vids with cracked exhaust, leaking case seams, etc. Obviously, I have no idea on how these were treated, but the trend doesn't look at all good. And the real question to me is not how many "old motors" you have operating, but what is the mean time between major maintenance or failure, those are the numbers I care about. How many do you have that have flown say, 1000-2000 hours with NOTHING but routine maintenance (plugs, oil, filters, and some light maintenance, basically, not pistons, jugs, rods, bearings, clutches, seals, etc.) because that is what is expected of normal aircraft engines. I expect the answer is roughly none, but let me know. You can basically keep an engine of this design running almost forever, as you well know, but I mean original pistons, crank, rings, gaskets, bearings, clutch, etc.), and NO unintended non-operator caused engine stops or power losses in flight. I realize you have more degree of safety in a paramotor with an engine out than a normal aircraft, hell, just the landing speed difference makes it immense, but I STILL want an engine that will run and run and run, without problems like an engine should, in your aircraft, or your good ole Toyota (typically 2-3 hundred K miles). Again, great video.

John Sikes sounds like you want a Vittorazi Motor, me and you have the same priorities, add fuel & fly every day!

@@minyardmatt I will look them up, thanks.

David Carroll David Carroll I am 5’9” & 155 pounds, this motor is about 50 pounds with 1 gallon of fuel in it, the trike here is about 35 pounds, they have a mini trike that is 25 pounds but not shown in this video, this Gin Gliders Pegasus 2 is a beginner wing that makes a lot of lift at a slow speed during takeoff, so the combo is just right!

@@minyardmatt Color me impressed.

@@minyardmatt I can't believe you have my fat ass actually looking at an 80 lol.

@@vmlinuxz it seems like if you are heavy you should just get a 185cc Moster Engine & call it a day.

THE VAMPIRE HUNTER Habla un poco espanol amigo, vamos a jaco beach!

Al Trent I’m also 215 and I’ve flown the 80. It’ll depend more on the wing selection.

That atom 80 has lifted about 350 pounds with me during a tandem. I think can do about 400 before it’s maxed out & not climbing, at sea level of course! Not going to work well at altitude with a heavy load. You want a moster 185 for the heavy loads!

It's stronger than every other fish net looking one on the market!

@@minyardmatt - I'll take your word for it.

Jim Fuhrman isn’t this machine amazing!
