This gondola has is designed for wings which can carry at least 2 Kg.

The CG can be changed by shifting the wing rod.

Aditional hardware needed:

  • 2 servo's (regular size) for steering (min. 15Kg torque);
  • 2 servo's (regular size) for speedbar (min. 8-10Kg torque);
  • transmitter and receiver of your choise;
  • battery 4s, about 3000mAh. 3 s will work as well, but the paramotor will be more docile (Also might have to add more balast);
  • 4 pcs Nyodium magnets 12x3;
  • Motor Propdrive 35-42, 1000Kv or similar;
  • Speed controller 50-60A.
  • Prop 10"x8";
  • Several screws / nuts (arms to servo's, motor to motor mount, Propcage to Gondola, Propcage itselves etc);
  • Aluminum rube 6x4mm to re-enforce the wing tube.

Myselves I fly this gondola with a "Skyman,  Sir Edmund Race" wing 3mtrs span.

The blue parts have been printed in Ngen.

Since Ngen cannot be glued, the propcage is designed to be screwed.

The fuselage canopy can also be printed in PLA (i liked the color change).

The yellow parts are printed in PLA.

The black grips are printed in Varioshore TPU

There are two lengths for the speedbar servo-arms. Choose as needed.

 

If you have trouble building let me know. I didn't add a complete build manual.

For a smaller gondola version please have a look at “Paramotor gondola”.

Edit: 2023-03-08

added a video: Please note the strong wind, and the fact that thus is the maiden flight for this wing and this gondola. So it was a little “get to know each other”.

Unfortunately this is the only video I have of the gondola so far.
