Is anyone here flying the Kangook Amaruk XD with the OpenPPG SP140 electric power system?
You can buy the package directly from Bryant Hummer at Kangook USA.
I found this video from Jim Mansell:
I was able to confirm with Bryant that the battery cannot be removed without taking the middle hoop off. Slightly annoying, but it’s only 4 velcro straps.
I’m currently flying with the kit you have seen on Instagram. I’m from Canada so I ordered my frame and wing from David, owner of Kangook Canada and l ordered the new conversion kit from Paul at OpenPPG. Got +/-10 hours in the air and I don’t think I’ll missed the gas setup I had. I started with paragliding years ago and now be able to glide again anytime without struggling to restart the engine it’s a very cool.
For the battery removal, it slipped out easily without removing velcro, but maybe David did updates on his new frame.
I’m in Europe at the moment but I’ll poste photos soon of the kit and also of the hitch carrier I made for this frame.

Yan! Thank you so much for the update. Do you have the Amaruk XD? Or do you have the “regular” one?
I’m having Bryant quote me a non-XD version. The 150cm hoop and taller frame feels unwieldy to me. The “regular” Amaruk cage is 140cm, which matches the SP140. I’m also going to use my Dude Comfort Seat Light instead of the standard one. Other than those differences, it’ll be just like yours 
Thanks for the pictures, those look incredible.
The SP140 has a 140 prop not a 140 cage. The cage has to be bigger than the prop.
At risk of being pedantic, I do not think the cage diameter has to be greater than the prop diameter; it depends on the geometry and layout of the components.
That said, it would be helpful to know the diameter of the SP140 cage if it isn’t 140cm. For some reason I haven’t been able to track down an official specification.
As per the CAD files, external diameter of the hoop is 152cm, internal diameter 148 cm.
Thank you Fabzou! I also can confirm that, per the Hoop.step CAD file, the ID of the cage is 148cm.
