Best option is to know your burn rate and how much you put in. Kind of like when I learned to fly an old Cessna 152 and used paint stirrers to determine fuel level, didn't trust the gauges inside, and was conservative about burn rate. But yes I squeeze it too. I recently flew 1 gallon exactly on that motor for 1.5 hrs so that was good to know.
@@MarkHuneycutt 0.67 gal/hr is what dreams are made of, what wing and loading? Another youtuber suggested the Warp/2 has one of the best efficiencies for XC in their opinion... Curious if you're on an advanced glider. Light bulb, have you tried the Gaggle app fuel gauge function? I'll have to try it out once I get a good average burn for my setup, I'm mostly grounded atm, winter city boy here.
@@iKenFlyPPG 20m Gin Falcon. I was flying the Pulsar which weighs 41.5lbs, add fuel, 5lb reserve, me at 170ish. I've heard good fuel efficiency with the Warp 2 but am now content with my wing. I haven't tried the Gaggle app. Need to use it more in general
The kickstand overall is not a feature I would like, I prefer the fixed base. The fuel bladder is a lot of trouble it looks like. Is there and option to put a fuel tank on it? Other really neat machine.
I’ve heard somebody try to tell me about the Adam 80 had more torque actually than the 185. Which I’m not saying, I believe that . But I have heard it multiple times.
Definitely not true. I don't notice it on the Pulsar. I've seen people change engines out and have their arms backwards though 😂. That'll make things real torquey
Good review Mark. I would not put too much faith in a flimsy fuel bladder like that. It just seems that it would be prone to a serious leak at some point. Your thoughts?
I have 2 Skyrunner frames from Russia. I cannot get replacement parts for them because of the war. Is this frame available in the US currently and are parts readily available?
Maverick is a nice machine as well. The Maverick is a little heavier, better fuel tank AND more fuel capacity, different design. That's about it. Maverick Atom 80 Assembly: th-cam.com/video/MPdJG1tKiNE/w-d-xo.html
I wouldn’t be to keen on having a flimsy plastic bag carrying my fuel under my seat that could burst open in a crash, plus you don’t know how much fuel you have because you can’t see it👎
I've been flying it a lot lately. I just top it off and know I have at least 1.5 hrs of flight time if I'm aggressively climbing/flying. Much more time if cruising. The double walled bag is very strong. I've seen prop strikes on the regular fuel tanks on a butt landing that spray fuel everywhere.

Looked like a beautiful sunny day for filming. I continue to enjoy your paramotor reviews, you got a good eye to point out important details.
Thx for Your consistent posts with good content.
Thanks for sticking around!
Straight and to the point. So refreshing. How do you check fuel level during flight? Squeeze the bag?
You're asking the guy who hears the phrase 'run out of fuel' then responds to that with "challenge accepted".

Mark ! 👋👍
Great video. Seems like this kit would make the pulsar frame about the same weight as the star frame? Any pros and cons to report between those two?
The star is a stronger frame so it is heavier. I'm a bigger fan of the Pulsar for being lighter.
Really good paramotor at all. 👍

Kickstand is cool for having all that fuel in the seat. It doesn't bother me. I don't think there's a tank option but I could be wrong.

It doesn't. On that one frame (not to be named) it did. On every other frame, it doesn't.

Great review !

Good question. It's hard to say. I've heard they've dropped these off buildings without damage

Please reach out to Pinnacle Paramotor on Facebook or at their website. This frame is available and so are parts!
Pretty cool.
Did you fly over Boone yesterday?
Nope
How does this unit compare with the Maverick with the atom?
Maverick is a nice machine as well. The Maverick is a little heavier, better fuel tank AND more fuel capacity, different design. That's about it.

Hi im your korean fans. Are you still in the korea? And flying in korea?
Hey. No, I left Korea in 2020. Great place
Total cost of unit and wing?
Wing typically around $3500. Unit around $7500
