British Open Paramotor Championships 2020, Benedikt Bös wins with the Moster 185 MY20
Our pilot Benedikt Bos has just won the British Open Paramotor Championships 2020: another great result for the Vittorazi Team!
Bene was able to make an excellent performance thanks to his skills combined with the quality of our new Moster 185 MY20.
“I trained very much to defend my title that I won in 2019, always flying Vittorazi, and it paid back” – he said. “The British Open is a very difficult competition: it is open till the end, and you have to pay a great attention to every single detail not to lose points. There also were a lot of experienced pilots, and even if I have made a good training before, I knew that it would have been a very tight competition”.
“We also had a difficult weather forecast – he told us – it was always windy and very difficult for the navigation tasks, but still managed to get over 8h airtime in 2,5 days.
Bene had a great feeling with the engine: “The Vittorazi Moster 185 MY20 Plus made a great job – he said. “Its great features were important to make a good performance: its lightweight, combined with the great thrust, allowed me to make easy take offs even with 19 lit of fuel on my back. Then, its great reliability was very important: I had no problems with the engine so I was able to make all the tasks. There was no need to repeat any task for me”.
“The MY20 it’s not only powerful and reliable (running perfect through all the competition time) – also the fuel consumption was great and I was able to win the Economy Task where we had to collect as many turn points with a limited amount of fuel”.
Then, the importance of propellers: “With the new Vittorazi propellers of 140cms that I had the opportunity to test and to use in the competition I have lots of thrust to push me in the air and to quickly go up when necessary. So, this match between these new propellers and the Moster 185 engine is perfect to gain great results in a competition. I’m very glad to say there is no need to use bigger engines”.
“I have also to thanks Vittorazi and Fly Products that equipped my Paramotor with a special additional competition tank – he continued – to see exactly how much fuel is left and a system to change the carburettor setting in the air. I was able to lean out the carburetion a bit in flight and got back to the airfield with only 120ml left in my tank. That’s a perfect amount for me, as it is very important to get back. If you land outside the competition airfield on a Eco Task it’s 75% penalty on your collected points”.
We still congratulate Bene on the result and we remind you to stay tuned, we’ll soon tell you more about our new, special propellers for the Moster 185!
