Powered Paragliding Paramotoring New Brunswick

Green Eagle now give you an engine that produces more thrust than a Rotax 447, the same thrust as a Rotax 503 or 582 with the same propeller and re-drive at half the RPMs. It deliver up to a 75% increase in fuel efficiency versus 2-stroke engines. It is 67% more efficient on propane which will net you an average 4 hours flight on Propane and 4.5 hours on our Gas Version. By using propane and a 4-stroke engine at low RPMs there is an estimated 3000+ hours between rebuilds or TBOs. This is 10 times less maintenance than any Rotax.

Many PPG companies that have electric start as a standard sell their back pack units for 6,700 USD with no trike and no wing. Many trikes that have the same thrust sell for $15,000 USD and up. This unit starts at $8,700 USD and you get so much more in lower cost to fly, lower repair cost, cleaner, quieter and all around better for our environment.

Don’t forget that with a 2-stroke you have to mix oil with Gas bringing a gallon a fly ready gas to about $6.00. If you don’t use that gas soon it goes bad, not to mention if you leave it in your carburetor you have other maintenance problems as well.

During development we modified engines built multiple re-drives, added special Constant Velocity carbs, Cylinder head modifications, Valves, New Pistons, Cam Shaft Mods, Fly Wheel mods, and all the stuff that goes into making a slow engine with lots of torque give you fast RPMS without the need of High Octane oil mixed gas.

We use larger engines with more torque focusing on power delivery with special built re-drives from various manufacturers. With the help of many leaders in the PPG, PPC, Propellers, Engineering, and Manufacturing world we were able to bring you the most innovative, advanced, low cost, powered paragliding trike / quad to date.

Greeneagle.com teamed up with Buckeye Manufacturing with 18 plus years of experience and innovation to use of their facility for mass production. Kenneth AKA "Butch' at Buckeye Manufacturing put his twenty years of experience and a million dollar facility together to produce a state of the art frame and engine mounting system. He designed a re-drive floating mount system for military observation planes. This kept a beefy re-drive delivering more than 35HP and 65 pounds of torque from adversely affecting the craft with vibrations or torque turn. His design successfully enabled the aircraft to use hi-def video surveillance equipment. His experience, expertise in design and manufacturing are leagues above the rest and I would have been a year out of production with out him.

Our engineer / machinist Craig built the best quality and most robust interchangeable re-drive system for testing that I have ever seen. Craig was instrumental in aiding in valuable carburetion and thrust test sometimes through the wee hours of the night. His dedication to getting the job done kept us on schedule for both PPC and PPG projects. His attention to detail is a nice touch to the Green Eagle and with out his help we would have been months behind schedule “Thank You Craig”.

You are getting a craft made by a large group of the best people in the industry and the most up to date technology in the PPG/PPC world today. I want to thank all the unmentioned companies and people who helped make this revolutionary machine become a reality. Don’t take our word for it - fly one for yourself.

1 May 10 - Green Eagle Flight!! - After cutting the grass this evening it was time to fly. I haven't had a chance to fly the Green Eagle since I'm back from Florida so it was her turn to go up. The winds were fairly low but picked up after about 30 minutes. Had fun and it's always nice to fly the Green Eagle. This 4 stroke thumper is in my view, easily the top of the line 4 stroke PPG trike on the market. With the 38 HP Generac four-stroke engine you can't go wrong, the power is incredible and the fuel mileage is Excellent!! Folk's, if you want the same turn key reliability as your vehicle in a PPG, the Green Eagle is for you!! You can't beat this trike at the price of $8700.00 US. Click on the photo to enlarge.

Green Eagle coming this 2009 training season!! - Eric and I have been testing and flying the Green Eagle 4 stroke Trike the last couple days. There were a few adjustments and mods that we had requested of the owner Ashton but overall we were very impressed with the quality of construction and power of the 4 stroke powerplant. The Green Eagle Trike has a very good power to weight ratio and gets even a heavy pilot off the ground in no time. Eric, Ashton and I have been trying several different paragliders to see what would be the best matched glider for the average pilot. The 35 HP 4 stroke is very quiet, reliable with great fuel economy. It comes standard as a gas model but you can also order it to run propane with trike or quad wheels. It is designed to fit in the back of any small or large pickup truck. Also it can be transported with a newly engineered easy launch system or wheelchair ramp on a car without disassembling.

Eric Dufour and I are HUB Dealers for the Green Eagle Trike and PPGNB will be providing the trike for Canadian pilots starting 2009 training season. Anyone interested in this Trike, send me an E-mail and I can give you further details.

Green Eagle has been testing for more than two years before offering our first product unit to the consumer. We then went to long term dealers and instructors 8 months before going public. This way we were able to trial and error many things that are common needs of today’s advanced pilots to give you a craft so complete with today’s technology, and innovation, that we will stand by our craft. Some of our dealers had a Green Eagle for a year before we were finished with QC design improvements and final R&D.

Why such a strong warranty?
We have heard it all over the years. The stories pilots have from manufactures mostly blaming the customer if a problem should occur which is quite often with 2 strokes. In many cases if the customer is at fault it is in getting fuel oil mixes wrong. The 4 stroke eliminates that risk.

As a Technician myself, I was told by manufactures that I must of done something wrong instead of standing by the posted warranty. I had engine failures on personal 2 stroke units that I meticulously maintained. In many cases the shipping overseas, and repair cost were more than purchasing a new engine. As a pilot and a dealer for various aircraft I became frustrated with this common practice. I realized it is just too hard for companies to warranty 2 stroke engines.

We decided to engineer the best 4 stroke combinations with our Green Eagle to offer you not only an outstanding warranty but more fuel efficiency, quieter engines, more Eco friendly, and much lower operation cost.
Since our engines had gone through rigorous testing over the years we decided offer the best warranty in the Powered Paragliding community.

Standard DFX 61 engine comes with a full one-year or 100 hours which ever comes first to include all moving internal parts, including parts and labor. This warranty is only void if there is evidence of no oil in the engine or the warranty rules are not followed. We have tested this engine with only 1 quart on our airboats so you will have to run it near empty for a while to seriously harm it. A free proper service schedule is in place and all engines come with 60 hour oil change kit free when you call and request it.

You get three quarts of Amsoil 100% non petroleum based synthetic oil and filter with instructions. This oil is very expensive and you have an extra quart to keep your engine oil levels in check for the next two years. We charge only shipping cost for the kit when ordered. You will need your unit serial # when ordering.

We offer a 2 year or 150 hours whichever comes first warranty including parts and labor on all fuel injected FIT 49 engines to include all moving internal parts. Oil service program applies after 80 hours of operation.

We offer a full one-year warranty or 75 hours whichever comes first on our re-drives and moving parts to include bearings and drive pulleys. Belts are not included as they are a normal wear item.

At purchase or after inspection by a HUB dealer Green Eagle will offer a 1 year or 60 hour warranty extension program for $500.00 once sighed off by a local HUB dealer. If you purchase an extension contract at sale of new craft you do not need an inspection.
Extended warranty’s are transferable and can be purchased for new owners once inspected. This is a great re-sell tool and will insure your Eagle does not drop in value if well maintained.

As dealers come on board you can have your dealer inspect service and fill out your form. Your warranty is transferable; however we need all information on new owner for serial # match to new owner names.

1. Your yearly flight forms must be turned in at year end or by 30 DEC each year or warranty will be void. This information can be called in.
2. If you have to replace the hour meter you must contact us and send back old meter. We will serial # and give you a new one at cost. If we are not informed warranty would be void.
3. Not participating in the Free Oil Service program will void your warranty.
4. If there is any evidence of aftermarket tampering without prior consent from Apogee Power Sports or Green Eagle warranty will be void.
5. Running engine on low oil levels will void warranties
6. Warranty does not cover engine electrical system or leaks of any kind
7. Evidence of running fuels not intended for the engine will void warranty
8. Evidence of abuse and running engine above recommended RPMs will void warranty
9. Engines and hour meters must be sent with engine that has failed. Repairs, parts, or replacement will be free if engine is under warranty. In many cases we will want to interview you to help us serve you better.
