The HobbyKing™ Paramotor is extremely easy to fly due to its very gentle and stable flight characteristics yet once you are used to it, it will perform loops and rolls with ease. Due to the design, the huge high performance 2250mm wing opens quickly for easy launching and it will retain its shape even in turbulence.
General Assembly Step 1: Remove the undercarriage retaining bracket. Step 2: Fit the retaining bracket over the undercarriage wire.
Page 7
Step 3: Using the hex head screws refit the undercarriage bracket with the undercarriage wire positioned between the bracket and the base of the airframe. Step 4: Refit the nyloc nuts and tighten the assembly.

Step 5: At this point we need to remove the motor and motor mount. The reason for this is that the the aluminum propguard supporting arms have to be installed behind the mount.

Step 6: Push the hex screws through and remove motor and motor mount completely, this makes fitting the supports easier.

Step 7: Clip the 4 prop guard support arms into the slots in the rear of the motor mount. These can be quite a tight fit so you may need to squeeze them fully home with a pair of pliers or similar tool. Assembly should look like this when all 4 are clipped into position.

Step 8: As the following pictures show refit the motor and motor mount clamping the prop guard supports between the airframe and the motor mount.

Step 9: Fit the flybar to the front of the airframe using the longer bolts through the top holes of the motor mount. Note: Do not tighten the nuts until you have all 8 bolts through the mount and frame.

Note: The prop guard is aerofoiled, please ensure you fit it the correct way around, see picture above.

Step 10: Clip all 4 of the prop guard supports into the slots on the prop guard.

Step 11: Feed a cable tie through the hole in the prop guard where the support clips to the guard. Do this to all 4 supports and tighten the cable ties to secure the prop guard. Make sure you remove the excess length of cable tie once tightened.

Step 12: Fit the propeller assembly, please ensure you fit the prop the correct way round as shown above. It is a standard tractor prop so must face forward in the direction of flight. Step13: Tighten the prop nut using the method shown in the picture above.

Step 14: Fit the shackles through the outer holes either side of the flybar. Step 15: Set up your radio and connect the servos to the receiver. Power up the receiver and center the roll and pitch servos (watch the set up video before you do this part).

Step 16: Secure your receiver to the servo housing with the sticky back hook and loop tape. Secure and tidy the servo leads and receiver antenna using cable ties.
