Easy to mount a motor ....
BlackHawk Powered Paraglider Suitcase Frame
This was an excellent powered paraglider / Paramotor frame that has served me well. I have flown it all over and even recently at the Salton Sea 2008 Paratoys event.
It would make a great frame for
- Someone building a unit
- As a travel frame
- Great frame to learn on
- A spare frame
I originally used this frame with the a 172cc Blackdevil Corsair motor, so if you plan on using the same it would bolt right up. Because of the design the frame *should* accommodate almost any motor by simply modifying or using new "banana clips" (silver slotted aluminum things). The frame is in good but used shape. It has some chips, scrapes, and a small indent on the hoop (could probably be straightened if you cared that much) , but all of which are minor. There is no motor or harness included... I have used 44", 46" and 48" props on this frame.
This frame auction includes a lot of things others don't. Included in this auction are the following....
- Frame
- J-bars
- Stronger Net
- Original Travel Net
- Backpad
- Gas Tank w/ in tank weighted fuel pickup
- Gas tank mounting bolts
- Gas tank mounting straps
- 172cc Banana Mounting clips
- 4 Rubber vibration reduction motor mounts with bolts
If you wanted to buy this frame new from Paratoys, it would cost you $1200 and that doesnt include a gas tank, back pad, mounts, or a spare net. Get it here at no reserve.

As noted earlier, this frame has been very good to me and I've flown it all over. Here's some shots of it in action to see how it looks in the air and for size refrence. (click for larger versions).


I had various items I used with this frame such as a reserve chute, dual element wired strobe, and a smoker. You can look at various photos I've posted to see how they where installed on this frame.
Shown with PPG Smoker installed and being activated.

And for the people new to PPG and aspiring new pilots, two pictures taken from the frame itself.

The frame is boxed up and ready to be shipped to the new owner....
