      I would much rather lose an engine in an airplane. They have a better glide ratio and will make it a lot further. I’ve had a few over the years. Also, engine failure in a helicopter isn’t bad at all. Learn what autorotation is and why it’s a major part of helicopter flight training. PPC’s are the worst to lose an engine in. The glide ratio sucks, so you are stuck with finding a place to land that’s really close. I’ve flown a plane for 9 miles after the engine failed to get to an airport. Can’t do that with a chute.

    • @JMMC1005

    I use to race 2 stroke motorcycles in motocross/supercross/shortcircuit and would seize engines constantly because the oils were not good enough. After trying many different brands and blowing up more engines, I found Amsoil and was so impressed with their 20:1 oil that i started stretching it out 30:1, 50:1, 75:1, at that point my sponsors (Motorcycle franchise)&(Mechanics) rang Amsoil to come see and we started using it at 100 to 1 and could not blow the engine. They ended up sponsoring me and created the 100:1 2 stroke engine oil they now sell.

    Like Italian cars and motorcycles, Italian paramotor engines are mostly trouble prone, fussy, and high maintenance. The Italians don’t seem to understand how to design for reliability. It’s too bad Honda doesn’t make paramotor engines. They would be ten times more reliable, make more power, be quieter, require much less maintenance, and parts wouldn’t fall off as has happened with your Italian motor.

      im sure it would be less common if the engines used more modern tech but remember these are all still carbureted and lightly engineered engines. It keeps the cost down but as a result engine reliability is less guaranteed. Even then engine failures will still happen without excessive maintenance and cost just at a reduced rate.

    • @highkicker11

      @@nocare the newer engines are just as unreliable as the old engines the only thing new engines have going for them is early warning thanks to delicate electronics. But thats just another failure mode waiting to happen. Plain old carb engines are really reliable if build right and maintained correctly.

    • @nocare
      @nocare 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@highkicker11 A newer engine can be as unreliable as an older engine. I am not talking about the spectrum of engines but the practical limitations of engines.
      On principle of the nature of the design an efi engine will be more reliable than a carb engine. A turbine engine will be more reliable than a piston engine.
      Its not possible for the best carb engine humanity can build to equal the reliability of the best efi humanity can build. The efi engine will just cost 2-4 times as much and for what a 20-30% greater reliability.
      If reliability is the only factor in choosing an engine a newer more advanced design will always have the higher ceiling.
      The thing is its not the only consideration. EFI engines are expensive and often unwarranted in such applications.

    • @SandiNPaul
      @SandiNPaul 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've a number of them. 2nd flight, went to idle, it died, wouldn't start. 2 of them, ran out of fuel. My last 3, I had installed EFI on my motor. EFI requires power.. well, the rectifier wasn't working and the battery died... as did the engine. Finally fixed that. Now I didn't know it at the time, but the CHT sensor wasn't made right and came loose from the connector. Now there's air blowing over the sensor which gave a false reading to the module. "Ah, nice and cool! We can lean it out!"... Blew a hole in my piston. Landed in the Atlanta Motor Speedway parking lot, dodging light poles and wires! 😒 Rebuilt it, installed a secondary CHT so I could monitor it. Burned it in. Flew for 15 minutes, CHT jumped to 427 and before I could shut it off, blew another piston. So much fun.
