Pictures and Movie Clips from the building of the Dragonfly Paramotor
The design and development of the Dragonfly Paramotor has taken 4 years working on it when we have
been able to do so. Below is a movie clip of our first successful engine test after installing a larger carb.
Dragonfly engine with its new high compression
head and modified tuned exhaust ready to run for
many future flights
Here is our solution to the exhaust manifold nut
cracking problem. We made our own nut with a
hole in it for a tie wire to be used for insuring it
does not come lose during flight.
Here are the stock exhaust nuts showing the
cracks. Notice the thin wall where it is threaded.
We increased this thickness for our homemade.
Here is an angle profile showing the homebuilt
venturi that helps the flow of air into the carburetor
inlet. Also note the clear fuel line that helps detect
if there are any air bubbles in the fuel.
This is looking straight into the WB-20-1
(26 mm Venturi) carburetor with its homemade
venturi. Notice the good looking high
compression head
