- Page 14 F.A.Q. Questions / Answers My RC paramotor seems not to move forward very fast. How to remedy this problem?’ If your model advance a little bit, or if it even stays on-the-spot, it is because your model is too light. In that case, you have to land and increase the weight with additional ballast or batteries until you obtain a 5 to 10 km/h with regard to the ground.
