    There is no "cone" included to mount a tail light in the CH750 kit. I used the Zenith branded Aero lights...they include both navigation lights and wing tip strobes all in one light. Nav lights red/green on front with light on rear....the strobe is in between the colored nav & rear white light. Very slick setup and eliminates the need to wire the tail for a light.

    Hi Harry, good to see another paramotor pilot that flys a 701. I just joined the group and looking around to see who is here..I fly a Pap with a Paramaina Fusion wing along with my 701 on anfibous floats. What kind of Paramotor and wing do you fly?

    Thanks for the reply Harry, you are a crazy bugger too !! I like that. At about 13 years old I too was trying to make Hang Gliders out of wood and plastic jumping off the garage roof. I was also at one time in my teens collecting alunimum tubing to try and make a fixed wing ultralight with an old snowmobile motor. Luckly for me life got too busy and I never did start the build..

           My first Paramotor had a solo 210 on it too. It was the small Fly Products "fly 95" with the 4 blade prop. I flew it for 5 or 6 years before getting a Walker Jet which was an ok unit but became hard to get parts for so I got the Pap which is a very nice unit with lots of power for a small guy like me weighing in at 140 lbs.. However I don't fly any of the parmotors as much as I did before I got the 701. The 701 is my main focus now...I would love to some day do some fly camping like you and some of the other fixed wing guys do..
