Clément Latour takes a pre-production version of the Radicall for a spin at the 2015 Coupe Icare
Version 4 of Razeebuss’s electric auxiliary power unit for paragliders is now on sale.
A Sup’Air Skypper pod harness with an inbuilt HPD 10 E-drive motor, Razeebuss’s Radicall V4 now has a “virtual cage”, which constantly moves the propeller to the best position, and cuts the engine if the angle changes dramatically.
It is fitted with the latest version of Geiger Engineering’s Pi300 motor management system which greatly improves efficiency, and also has a flight recorder. Thanks to the new management system, the HPD 10 E-drive now develops 12KW of power, 2KW more than the original version, and around 70 kg of thrust at full throttle giving it an improved climb rate of around 2m/s.
The Radicall’s Kokam LIPO 24 Ah battery pack is now integrated into the cockpit, and the battery management system improves safety and energy efficiency.
