Ppg meeting in bavaria

At the weekend there was a meeting in Bavaria, Germany for paramotors. I’m pleased that we can now see other EPPGs in addition to my own. I think there will be a few more at the next meeting in 2 years.

Acceptance is now greater in a positive sense with petrol PPG colleagues and there were nice conversations.

So after my last long flight in 2019 with 117 minutes, I have decided to set a new time record again in October 2024 at this airfield with new batteries and a modern wing.

My goal is at least 100 minutes with foot start EPPG. We’ll see :slight_smile:
You can see which wing I will use in the pictures.




117 minutes with original openppg battery?

I have been flying EPPG with my own DIY systems since 2011.

Hi, are you using your own DIY liion battery cells?

yes, I use Sony VTC 5, VTC 6, Molicell, Samsung 40 T. They all work perfectly and some are over 8 years old and I still fly with them. Only one pack of LG cells is already tired from 2016 and can only be used in the e-foil. Now I am building a new modular pack for the record flight from 21700 cells with around 5500 mAh per cell. The price of a cell like this is around 2.4 euros. I can’t say what it’s called because it comes from an e-car project that has been terminated.

Nice, Im planning to make my own big liion pack for my homemade eppg but only have diy experience with small liion packs for fpv drones eheheh :smiley:
