The Paramotor Performance M3 is a family of Swedish paramotors that was designed and produced by Paramotor Performance of Bandhagen for powered paragliding. The aircraft are supplied complete and ready-to-fly.[1]
Design and development
[edit]The M3 series was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations. They all feature a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single 16 hp (12 kW) Solo 210 engine in pusher configuration with a 2.4:1 ratio reduction drive and a 100 cm (39 in) diameter four-bladed composite propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 8 litres (1.8 imp gal; 2.1 US gal). The aircraft is built from a combination of aluminium and steel and the workmanship has been noted as of high quality by reviews. All models have low hang points.[1]
As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw.[1]
