What makes
the Black Hawk Paramotor/Powered Paraglider the #1 most popular
brand in America and why are pilots choosing it over all other
brands on the market (10 to 1)?
To start with, the
Black Hawk quad has been voted the safest, easiest & most fun
powered paraglider (ppg) on the market today. Safe is fun... fun
is a sport.
Don't make
the mistake of buying something that is over your head, then
crashing and turning a sport into a life long recovery!
Black Hawk Powered Paraglider Limited Warranty:
Each and every item that makes up a black hawk Powered
Paraglider is fully warranted 100% for two years to the original
purchaser from the date of original purchase of any factory
defects. The following items are included in this
warranty: cage, couplers, rods, frame, gas tank, harness,
carabineers, throttle, motor mounts and motor mount plates. This
warranty excludes any and all items that are damaged by the
Pilot in launching, landing, flying or transporting or misuse of
said Black hawk Powered Paraglider. The corsair 172cc engine and
the Compact Radial engine 100cc, 313cc engines are warranted for
6 months from date of purchase from any manufacture defects by
said Factories.
WEIGHT SHIFT FRAME
The Black Hawk standard frame, J-bars, Harness and
carabineer placement are all positioned to mimic the free flight
experience with excellent weight shift turning ability on our
stock frame. The optional geared J-bar auto steering weight
shift kit can actually exceed the weight shift on many free
flight harness's with no hands steering of up to 10inch's of
riser travel. Many paramotor brands advertise good weight shift
on their frames but in reality have little to none available on
most brand models. The carabineers and harness leave the pilots
hands in a very comfortable low position and allow complete
access to the risers in flight.
Many paramotor brands have
such high carabineer placement that they do not allow access to
the risers or the pilots hand are high up above his head in a
very uncomfortable place *(NOT THE BLACK HAWK)*.
HARNESS
The Black Hawk has an unusually comfortable harness for
a paramotor, deep well padded seat and back rest. Black Hawk
spent years changing and redesigning their harness for Powered
Paragliders so that it is extremely comfortable both on the
ground and in the air, as well as very easy to get into the seat
once in flight. Most other paramotor brand harness's are torture
chambers in flight and pilots cannot fly longer then a few
minutes because of poorly designed harness.
50% of all new Black Hawk
paramotor owners have owned other brand paramotors and switched
to the black Hawk because of its extreme comfort in flight and
ease of launching from the ground. It comes with three large
pockets, two on the sides and one large one under the seat. The
zippers are easy pull and the pockets are deep for lots of
storage. This harness can be adjusted to be comfortable from a
5'ft pilot all the way up to the 6'7”ft pilots as well.
COMFORT PAD
The exclusive Black Hawk comfort pad, is a one inch
thick foam cover pad that insulates the pilot from all engine
vibrations and adds to the incredible smooth ride
of the Black Hawk paramotor. The Black Hawk is
renowned for its comfort in flight and
on the ground due to the harness, back comfort pad and the
exclusive curved back frame just like on a human back (NO
straight bars/frame pushing into your back causing flight
fatigue & vibration like all other brands on the market today
EXCEPT the BLACK HAWK ).
THROTTLE
The Black Hawk Throttle not only will fit a pilot with
a very large hand but will also fit the very smallest woman's
hand with ease as well. The easy to reach kill switch is
protected so as not to accidentally kill the engine in
flight. The throttle post is rubber covered to insulate the
aluminum post for those cold morning flights. The Velcro strap
will accommodate the largest glove and still secure the throttle
from coming off the pilot hands. This throttle can be placed in
the left or right hand with ease and is long enough to sit right
on the pilots lap for those long fun flights.
FRAME
1- The
black Hawk frame is made of chrome molly steel which is
incredibly strong yet very light weight at
the same time (this is the same material the most expensive
bicycles are made from today). The frame back is curved to fit
the human back comfortably with no pressure points to stress
or fatigue the pilot in flight.
2- The
Black Hawk paramotor frame is the only one in America that
breaks down into individual parts that allow it to fit
completely into our standard airline ready suitcase
in less then 4 minutes. The complete Black Hawk
paramotor ready to fly (except gas) only weighs 51lbs on our
100cc model and 56lbs on our 172cc Black Devil 25 hp engine
model.
3- Our
frame sits high up on the pilots back (even
on the smallest pilot) so the weight is easy to carry and the
pilots legs are completely free to run with no possibility of
kicking anything on the bottom of the paramotor (like the gas
tank, frame or prop like on many other paramotor brands). This
high up frame configuration makes the Black Hawk paramotor by
far the easiest paramotor ever designed to launch off the
ground. Most brand paramotors make the pilot struggle too hard
just to get in the air due to their poor designs.
Most all other brands have a low frame which makes 56lbs feel
more like 80lbs and the pilot is not able to run properly due
to low hanging frames or gas tanks hitting their feet or legs.
The center of gravity on the Black hawk is perfectly centered
down the middle of the frame so the weight is close to the
pilots back for easy carrying & running on the ground. Most
all other paramotors have the center of gravity weight away
from the pilots back making launching of the paramotor very
difficult, as the pilot feels as if he is going to fall over
backwards just standing there.
4- It
is easy to stand up off the ground with the
Black Hawk due to the seat being one foot off the ground and
the paramotor harness being secured closely to the pilots back
and not flopping around like many other paramotor brands This
high up seat protects the pilot in a hard landing's as well as
the frame will contact the ground well prior to the pilot
touching down.
5- The
Black Hawk is the only paramotor with complete
portability so it can be taken in a motorhome, boat,
an airplane or even in the smallest of cars.
6- The
Black Hawk cage is extremely strong for forward launches but
also is easy, fast and cheap to repair if ever damaged. Most
brands on the market are not nearly as strong as the Black
Hawk and if damaged cost a small fortune to repair along with
waiting months for parts *(NOT with the Black Hawk, it
is easy, cheap and fast to repair)*
Removable GAS TANK
Our gas tank removes completely from the paramotor
frame in seconds ( Black HAWK EXCLUSIVE ),
which allows for easy transporting of the paramotor with
no spills or smells and no hassle easy mixing and
filling of the gas tank. The gas tank cap, fuel line, and vent
lines are all screw down positive sealed with no leaks
whatsoever. Many new pilots are not aware of the huge advantage
of a removable gas tank in their daily usage of their paramotor,
but appreciate this many times over once they start flying.
The Black Hawk gas tank is
lower then the engine in the event of a leak for absolute safety
(gas tanks above the engine can be extremely dangerous). It is
positioned lower then the engine and well above the ground and
close to the frame for complete safety.
The shape of the Black
Hawk gas tank holds the gas centered with little ability to
slosh from side to side *(like most tanks in use today on other
brand paramotors they slosh and move and shift the pilot when
the weight of the gas moves)*.
QUALITY
Black Hawk only uses the highest quality materials and
far exceeds all other brands on the market in every aspect of
construction. The minutest details have been considered to
achieve not only the strongest paramotor, easiest to launch,
extreme comfort and most portable paramotor available today but
it is also the nicest looking one as well, it is considered a
work of art by all Black Hawk paramotor owners.
MADE IN AMERICA
Parts availability
With one of the largest dealer net works in the world
and the California warehouse distribution center, parts
are always available within 24 hours of orders. Many
paramotor dealers, factories, and distributors work part time
from their homes & garages and do not have the resources to
properly service their customers (why wait 4 months and not be
able to fly waiting for parts from other dealers when we ship
the same day?).
Black hawk
is one of the largest distributors of paramotor
products in the world with dealers in Pakistan ,
Austria , New Zealand , Brazil , Israel , England , Ecuador
etc.. and all over the United States as well.
Why buy the Black hawk paramotor over all other brands?
There is always one brand that far exceeds all others in design,
quality, dependability and looks whether it is cars, computers
or airplanes and simply said the Black Hawk is that brand in
paramotors!
