I tried to fly it a while ago, but the propeller was the biggest thing holding me back. So I changed the exhaust, piston rings, and the propeller to increase power 25% over stock and finally push me into the air. This video also doubles as my review of the Gravity Paraglider Xcend ENA wing, which I picked up specifically for this motor. Together, they represent a shockingly cheap $5500 brand new paramotor rig. Now that I have the full picture, I can say with certainty that this is NOT a good first paramotor. But if you're light weight, looking for a project and you want something small, then maybe it's worth considering.

I really like the Xcend wing. Get one from glider sports here: https://glidersports.com/shop/gravity...

If the low power and amount of problems I've had did not scare you off, you can buy the paramotor here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32568...

The exhaust can be bought from this gentleman, who also builds and sells DLE170 paramotors:   / dle170paramotorthailand104153761733715  

Oh, and the propeller came from amazon, if anyone needs one you can find it here: https://amzn.to/3aYDEgO
