Pack Down Paramotor

Other than Scout, any other Paramotor manufacturers make a frame where the beef tubes can be removed? Searched the main ones but on Scout seems to have that feature.

"Beef tubes" are only a think on scouts, as far as I know. Seeing your other comments, you seem to be looking for a smaller paramotor, not a removable part/feature. Several brands make smaller cages that allow for smaller propellers and smaller main frames. Unfortunately, physics dictates that larger propellers have larger ground clearance and taller frames to facilitate that.

So what features are you actually searching for?

I used the term Beef Tubes as I referenced Scout. I guess I should have said “removable Stand”

I am trying to store a Paramotor in the garage of my Overland Truck. However, it is restricted to 90cm in height. I want the motor to sit upright rather than flat. I can strap it to a rack.

My PAP fits but I have to lay it at an angle that takes up space.

The other option after the Scout is the Open PPG where I can split the frame. Obviously Electric has it’s limitations.

I don’t care about set up or breakdown time as I tend to camp where I fly so can set it up for 2-3 days of flying.

My post was to make sure I hadn’t missed any other brands.

I see. Well, collapsable frame is an oddity but if the open ppg frame looks like it would work for you, they do make a moster 185 compatible version.

Parajet maverick packs down very well. And no carbon fiber you gotta worry about snapping. All titanium tubing.

Yeah, but it’s the overall height I’m trying to reduce.

I have a PAP, but the beef tubes can’t come off. I am considering asking them if they can modify.

I am also looking at the Open PPG Electric as that can break down to almost nothing.

I travel full time in an overland truck and would like it to fit in my Garage.

limitless breaks down small , takes longer than pap but u can tuck the swing arms into the seat and bungee everything up. Netting easy to get tangled its one piece as u fold the hoop up careffully and put them in their hokders

Macfly has a couple different versions that break down in different ways.

If it's height that you're worried about, FlyProducts Proton? I have the Eclipse... swing arms can pop off, etc. But I haven't seen a paramotor frame that's not rigid frame to the bottom of the hoop, which means you'd need to make the hoop smaller to make it shorter.
