Southern Skies

Southern Skies, LLC is the factory-authorized US distributor of the quietest, powerful and easiest starting paramotor units we know, The Fresh Breeze. Our motor units support some of the best power to weight ratios on the market. Precision German engineering provides a light but robust powered paragliding unit that will endure the test of time. This motor is the only unit offered in the USA certified by the DULV (German ultralight association) for safety and design. Fresh Breeze motors feature a soft J-bar suspension system with a quick release that allows both a excellent feel for your paraglider and an emergency motor jettison feature for even more enhanced security in flight. There is also a comfort bar suspension available for a more rigid hook in feel. Additionally, Fresh Breeze motors feature tuned exhaust, Bing floatbowl carburetor, special intake silencer, and carbon composite props for a powerful but very quiet motor. All Fresh Breeze motors also use a HEIS (High Energy Ignition System) which allows a very easy start. You can actually get a spark at less than 100 RPM making electric start unnecessary. The fuel tank is mounted above the float bowl carburetor on most motors allowing positive fuel delivery, with no priming required. All in all, the Fresh Breeze represents the forefront of powered paragliding technology and with 15 years in the field our units have proven their value and are constantly updated.

Fresh Breeze Paramotors are precision crafted in Germany from the highest quality components and come loaded with options and features. They carry the best warranty, service and support and are known as the most reliable and quietest units in the industry.

Quoting Southern Skies <chris@southernskies.net>:

Exchange Rate Surcharge in effect:

Due to the latest developments in the euro/dollar exchange rate we
can no longer absorb the increased cost that is caused by an all time low value of the dollar, now valued at < .70 cents per Euro.

The following increase is effective immediately, until further notice:

All FB Paramotorunits $490.00 surcharge

Electric start add on surcharge $100.00 surcharge

All FB Trike/Flyke units $300.00 surcharge

All Swing Gliders $170.00 surcharge

All Edel Gliders $50.00 surcharge

All parts will now be subject to a 5% surcharge

We hope to be able to reverse these surcharges as soon as the
exchange rate goes back into normal territory.

We are sorry to have to report another major surge in the Euro currency- once again at an all time high. Please understand that we only pass on the changes and continue to operate on razor thin margins.

Pictures and more info:

Motor engine:

Here is a shot of the Airboss motor. On the far left, the black tube is the intake silencer going up the frame beside which is the bing float bowl carburetor. The re-drive belt is clearly seen. The tuned exhaust comes in from above, in the middle, and attaches to the muffler at the 90 deg. joint. Most material is 6061 aircraft grade aluminum. The frame is 5024 aluminum for more bend resilience.

(Click me for bigger view.)

Here is another shot of the Airboss motor. The tuned exhaust is more clearly seen on the right. The large gas tank is in the upper middle. The extra large cylinder head (the silver part at the lower end with lots of fins) is in the lower middle. You can see some of the anti-vibration mounts right in the middle of the picture, as well as the soft back pad on the left. This is a older picture the intake silencer has been re-routed and made of a new tough plastic see here for the new design it is much better than the old one and will last the life of the unit unlike this one which was made of a soft foam.

Here is a shot of the Simonini motor. On the far left, the black box is the intake silencer. It is attached to the bing float bowl carburetor. The re-drive belt is seen just under the propeller. The tuned exhaust comes around the motor from the far side and down by the head from above and attaches to the muffler at the 90 deg. joint. Most material is 6061 aircraft grade aluminum. The frame is 5024 aluminum for more bend resilience. We have also started using the new intake tube on this motor as well, as it provides more power see it here.

Hook - in:

(Click a pic for more information)	(Click pic for more information)
The standard J-bars allow jettison of the motor, weight shift and excellent feel for the wing	The Anti-tourque Comfort bars gives great weight shift and keeps the motor from pushing on your back. the most comfortable harness we offer.

Motor break down:

The 4 part cage is standard on solo, hirth, snap, black devil, and simoini motors. It allows you to fit the unit in any car. you can also just replace the sections you break in a less than perfect landing a cost saver for sure. Since the Cage is made of 5024 Aluminum it will bend and not break. A titanium cage is available for the simoini motor as well. On the right the solo motor head and the 4 part cage are separated, you could in this state place the unit in the back seat of your car.
(You can remove the prop and break it down in to two pieces as well and our wings are guaranteed to fold up ... hehe.)

Take a look at the parts catalog to get a idea of how our units are assembled the one we have is for the solo units but the info is good all around.

Try the Flyke or the Skip 1 both with integrated seats. With these easy to attach trikes you can take the running out of flying and get in the air faster durring your training. Since there is less running they are great for the less than "in shape" among us and for people with bad backs and legs and knees.

Picture of the wingman harness.		The picture shows an example of how to fasten the rescue device .	Using the V-line. The rescue device should be connect with the pilot suspension using the V-line. So it´s an optimal landing position in case of a possible release. The rescue device should not be hung in the harness using the spring hooks, because of supine in rescue release.
Tool kit included. Fits in your harness pocket.		A picture of the robust exhaust mounting with bushing and anti vibration springs.
A picture of the intake silencer which reduces the motor noise considerably.		Here is a shot of the soft J bar. The pad protects your arms while inflating the glider.
Monster w/ E-start view from re-drive.		Tandem w/ the monster.	The specially developed Suspension allows for plenty of clearance between pilot and passenger to make for easy running during launch. In flight the extra distance to the passenger is very comfortable.
Carb mount.	Keeps fuel from getting "frothed." Keeps temp down and adds power.	Siminoni E-starter.	Mounted in the aluminum casting of the motor. It's not going any where.
Wingman w/ under seat reserve.		Wingman side pocket.
Wingman w/ under seat reserve.		F/B Stuff sack.
The battery and control panel.	The electric start makes starting your paramotor as easy as child's play. It adds a total of 8lb in weight. The complete set comes with generator and power ignition. So the battery is charged during flight. A 12 V outlet can be used to power external devices like GPS, Radio, CD- or MP3-player.	Transport bags.	Travel bags for all our motors. The motor bag comes on two wheels for easy pulling. Its upholstery gives further protection. The lightweight cage bag provides space for the whole 4-part cage. We also carry additional upholstered Nylon prop protectors.
Air filter.		Air box silencer.	This Airbox device can be attached to every motor in our product range, for further reductions in engine noise. The outer screen also prevents the intake of small alien objects and particles. However, there is a small (and inevitable) sacrifice in power that results from the use of this system.
The standard throttle with cruise control	Very light weight for extended flying.	Light weight single ring cage on the simonini.
Back pad w/ side supports to reduce torque.	This backrest reduces motor induced vibrations and provides more resistance to control the engine torque.	The guts of the units.	The re drive, motor, carb, intake, exhaust, and x-large head.

About the power plants of the older or limited motors and new developments:

Military Surplus

This was an order of 500 motors ordered in germany for border patrol in Afganistan. After 1 year and delivery of 250 motors the export certificate was revoked by the german government. The units are built out of 1 inch tubing and are very strong to resist harsh military use.

The Pocket Radne

The Pocket Radne has been discontinued.

New Propellers available and in stock: "Helix"

These propellers have a round machined hub. Both propellers are made in Germany. They are made from carbon fiber, glass and epoxy resin. These propellers are of the highest quality and super light weight
The helix propellers resist chipping and sandblasting (beach flying) very well and do not explode on impact. They are much less of a hazard than a wooden prop. The light weight has less torques, less vibration, faster spool up and less strain on redrive components.

These Props are standard equipment with a new order.

(Click pic for more information)

In 2004 we came out with a optional comfort bar to give a medium hook in feel. The design worked great but we wanted to integrate the harness with the unit better and provide a maximum amount of torque reduction. So we came out with the new anti-torque bars that have welded attachment points to the motor and a sliding suspension as such the demand for this type died and we have now discontinued it. For more information about this older design see here.
