The Time To Fly Backplane SL is a Lithuanian paramotor that was designed and produced by Time to Fly of Kaunas for powered paragliding. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly. [1]
The Backplane SL 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 26 hp (19 kW) Simonini Mini 2 Plus engine in pusher configuration with a 2.4:1 ratio reduction drive and a 122 cm (48 in) diameter three-bladed composite propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 12 litres (2.6 imp gal; 3.2 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 said of the company's designs that they are "one of the best chassis designed". [1]
