This is a battery operated remote controlled scale model of a paramotor, and is a load of fun.

The wind range should really be less than 3mph but can fly in winds up to 10mph. The only problem is that when the wind starts to get up the surfer dude tends to swing and sway all over the place.

We have 2 battery packs - which each give about 5 minutes and 10 minutes of motor time. Once you take the surfer high up you can then cut the motor allowing the surfer to glide around.

It's easy to launch the Sky Surfer. Just a smooth graceful launch sends it flying off into the air. Take it away bro...

Attaching the bridle lines to the unit. These are attached to the servo controls, for steering the sky surfer.

Here are some pictures of the PROTOTYPE Sky Surfer engine conversion. It uses an 0.7 (1.1cc) engine and can stay up for about 20 minutes, then its just a case of refuel and off you go again! The motor still has speed control, there is no cutting or drilling of the sky surfer so it can be converted back to electric if required. It flies really well and is a little more powerful than the electric motor which is useful at times
