FLOATOR

Miniplane self-inflating float system

it was made with the needs of paramotor and paratrike in mind

it is made with the best materials normally used in safety systems normally adopted by the main airline companies.

why we make it

this system is easily adaptable to all types of chassis and if well mounted it leaves ample freedom of movement for the pilot, on the ground, in flight and also when activate.

2 separate floats offer greater stability, buoyancy and safety in case of ditching.
This solution was designed to be applied on the frame, it is not to be worn by the pilot.

There are numerous advantages of this solution:
* - the overall dimensions of the single float are reduced and it is easier to install on any type of frame
* - more freedom of movement for the pilot
* - when necessay, the pilot may leave the machine without obstacle
* - more side stability in the water, it guarantees a greater chance of survival even in the event of waves or wind gusts
* - each bag is very compact, it does not affect the aerodynamics of the paramotor

how it work

how to install

 simple to fix to the frame with the provided straps.
To improve the activation speed of the system it is advisable to mount the cylindrical container vertically and with the water sensor in the lower part.

To consider that the buoyancy makes upward force, so the most important strap for this load is is the low one (the one we provide with the buckle), and it must be fixed to the frame so that it cannot slide upwards.

 to increase the buoyancy, more floats can be use :

you can use a third element to be placed frontally to obtain 160x3 = 480N of bouancy,
or even increase the number to use them on the trikes or tandem machines

how to use

maintenance

caution

no approval is required for accessories of this type.
The aim is to improve the safety of the rider in the event of an accidental fall into the water.
Its use does not justify the voluntary overflight of surfaces that do not allow a normal landing operation.
There is no guarantee that the system is 100% effective.
In particular in the presence of living water (waves or currents) the system is not sufficient to guarantee the necessary buoyancy.
Overflight of water surfaces is prohibited by law in almost all countries!
