RE: Building a Flying Machine - Photos from building my first backpack aircraft
Yeah I actually have another paramotor now.
This paramotor looks cool with no external tank but it (1) doesn't hold much fuel and (2) it's not easy to determine how much fuel you have left by squeezing it.
I've actually run out of fuel a few times, luckily with a paramotor this is not a big deal as long as you have someplace safe to land.
Now I have a Kangook with an external tank (you can visually see the fuel level) which will be in all my future videos.
Cheers,
Michael
Do you have a little mirror on a retractable lanyard to be able to view the tank behind you?
Yep a little Lucite backpacking mirror.
