2011 Flat Top Ninja!! The New Best Paramotors On Earth!!! |
Flat Top Ninja Flown Tandem With 28sm Wing! |
Ninja TUFF!!! World’s Most Durable Paramotors! |
2011 Flat Top Ninja Climbs Until You Freeze!!!! |
The World’s Best Paramotors. All Flat Top Paramotors have WPPGA paramotor certification and have passed with flying colors!
The 2011 Flat Top Ninja is the shiznit!! It is only 54 lbs but has crazy insane power that matches the climb rate of the EVO, SUPER and Rotron!!! The Ninja is 11 lbs lighter than the Flat Top SUPER, 14 lbs lighter than the Flat Top EVO and 35 lbs LIGHTER than our Parajet Rotron but with a similar climb rate!!!!
The 2011 Flat Top Ninja with the new Vittorazi Moster engine is the biggest advancement in the history of paramotors since the Flat Top Paramotors themself. The second we started testing these paramotors we immediately hushed all information on it until we could confirm it’s reliability because we instantly knew it would make all other paramotors obsolete. Not only has it passed our extreme reliability tests but it has set an all new benchmark for fiddle free flying without maintainence. We didn’t even tighten the belt on this unit until hour 31!!! These units will even come with our special tuning ready to go so you don’t even have to TUNE IT!! Just put gas in it and go fly!!!
Power to weight ratio on paramotors are absolutely owned by the Flat Top Ninja and on top of that the new Vittorazi Moster engine is incredibly smooth with so little torque steer one can easily do full power climb outs in a straight line with no input on the controls. Quiet is also owned by the Ninja paramotors. Silent and deadly to all competitors makes the Ninja nametag fit to perfection. The only thing we didn’t find to exceed all other paramotors was the fuel economy where it only matched that of the Flat Top 200. The new 2011 Flat Top Ninja paramotors are without question the new standard all other paramotors will be judged by in the years to come.

Flat Top 120!! At 47 lbs with 130 lbs of thrust and boasting the lowest noise level on the market, even quieter than the all electric Flat Top paramotors; the new 120 makes for an incredible unit. The lightweight and more moderate thrust makes it a great unit to learn on. Also since all Flat Top power plants fit on the exact same frame you could start with a 120 and then when you are ready for crazy power or tandem flight you could just add a larger power plant without having to purchase a whole new unit. Upgradeable!!! Once again brilliant innovation from the Flat Top Paramotors crew. Great price, great performance and as always unmatched Flat Top safety & durability.

There are 304 reasons the Flat Top Paramotors are the best paramotors on the market. 304! I’m sure there are many more but this was just a quick list I came up with off the top of my head: http://u-turnusa.com/articles/304-reasons-to-buy-a-flat-top-ppg/
If you don’t have time to read all 304 here are some of the major reasons the top pilots in the US all fly Flat Top Paramotors. Safety is huge, with the kevlar netting it offers the maximum protection to keep you out of the prop. Numerous people have been chopped up on other brands of paramotors after getting into their own prop. The Flat Top paramotors are currently the only units on the market to really address that safety issue affectively. With the strongest but lightest cage design and kevlar netting that doesn’t stretch you won’t end up in the hospital missing a hand from a simple fall or forward launch. Next is the crumple zone on the Flat Top. With 16 inches of crumple zone under the pilots tush, it is designed to safety absorb even a full stall into the ground. One of the great things about certified paragliders is that even in a stall they only fall about 20 feet per second. That’s about like jumping from a one story house roof. If you were to land on your butt without protection you would very likely be injured or killed just as many have on other brands of paramotors. With the Flat Top Paramotors though, imagine jumping off a house roof but landing on an aluminum lawn chair. The Flat Top Paramotors crush to absorb the impact. Zero serious injuries or deaths have ever occured on a Flat Top and it certianly isn’t for a lack of trying. We all do stupid stuff from time to time and it is really nice to know your equipment is designed to save your butt. Literally.
Durability is huge. Pretty much every other unit on the market will self destruct if you fall down. Most units take as little as 2-3 lbs of pressure to flex the cage & netting into the prop so when you fall down the cage flexes back into the prop and the whole thing explodes on top of you. The Flat Top Paramotors are incredibly strong. You can see from the videos that you can fall down and do all sorts of crazy things on the Flat Top and still be ready to fly. It is no fun to take a minor slip and have it cost you a boat-load of time and money. To date only 1 prop strike has ever been reported on a Flat Top. That is 1 total for all Flat Top Paramotors on the market and only after being attached to an outdated trike design that flipped over in a crash. With units other than the Flat Top the average is that in your first year of learning to fly you will get prop strikes 2-3 times. That is a ton of money in parts and lots of time not flying while waiting to repair your unit. The Flat Top Paramotors are over 100 times stronger than many other units and it makes a huge difference.
Performance bows to Flat Top Paramotors. They are by far the most powerful unit on the market while also being the quietest and lightest in it’s class. You can see from the thrust tests and noise test done by our competitors that the Flat Top Paramotors are the best. Now since that test where it tied for second quietest we have actually improved the thrust while reducing the noise so it is now officially the quietest paramotor on the market and even farther ahead than everything else in power. Plus with our new Flat Top Evo… lol, the power of Flat Top Paramotors are so far beyond anything else it makes all competitors look like child’s toys.
Facts are facts and very easy to verify. Many people claim many things so feel free to verify any of this. With a simple thrust tester you can compare actual thrust, with an inexpensive Db meter you can prove noise levels. An easy way to check durability is with the motor off you put one hand on the prop and one hand on the netting on a paramotor and try to flex them together. The harder they are the bring together the less likely the unit is to self destruct when you fall down. You can see from pictures and video the Flat Top Paramotors will hold your entire bodyweight on the netting. The bottom line is the Flat Top is the best designed and engineered unit on the market.

| Thrust tester, altitude and conditions are all different so the actual numbers are not what are as important as they will change depending on the different variables but the comparison between the units is what is most useful. The Flat Top configuration is completely beyond anything else on the market offering by far the most power AND the least noise as you can see from Table 2. This level of excellence is not easy to achieve, the Flat Top Paramotors are the most advanced paramotors in the world today. | This test was conducted by our competitors with a Db meter and using a thrust tester to ensure all units were putting out equal thrust to give the most fair and equal comparison to all units. Equals for equals the Flat Top is the quietest unit in it’s class. The only unit that was 1 Db quieter put out only 98 lbs of thrust at full throttle as you can see from Table 1. We offer that powerplant as well but only for pilots weighing under 140 lbs as it doesn’t have an acceptable level of thrust for larger pilots. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

From years of experience we understand many people think about paramotors differently and not everybody is going to buy just one brand. If safety and durability are not as big of an issue then we would recommend as our second choice the Kobra line of paramotors. This is a beautiful unit with much attention to detail. It offers a slightly different style of hook in and weight shift. We would highly recommend this unit over any other brand other than Flat Top Paramotors as it offers many advantages and improvements in quality. These are some of the most popular models in europe and many of the top european pilots choose these as their paramotors of choice. The stainless steel design gives a beautiful asthetic look as well as it is easy to repair and maintain. Also available with the #1 power plant from Simonini just like the Flat Top Paramotors, the power and noise levels are first rate. If you are looking for more weight shift and a more paraglider type feel to it then the Kobra would be the place to look.
