Design and development

The Top 210 was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations. It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single 14 hp (10 kW) Solo 210 engine in pusher configuration with a 2.9:1 ratio reduction drive and a 123 cm (48 in) diameter two-bladed wooden propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 7 litres (1.5 imp gal; 1.8 US gal).[1]

As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw.[1]

Reviewer Rene Coulon wrote in 2003 that the line of paramotors produced by the company were, "reliable, light, yet powerful, well balanced statically and dynamically."[1]

gollark: What does it contain?
gollark: Oh dear. We will be so much worse off without your tiny cobble hut.
gollark: I'm sure there's some way around it other than just `chown`ing the files afterward (as I forgot to that time).
gollark: Yep.
gollark: I copy the mod updates from my desktop to the server, and for some insane reason get stuck with the UID of my desktop user instead of the server's minecraft user, and for some other insane reason the default permission on them is such that it refuses to read the JARs. So the mod is considered gone, and it breaks.
