We all used Vittorazi Moster 185 engines (Two Scouts and one Parajet).  We all had the same quality of equipment". Jean-Francois Chabaud talks about another great adventure he made.   "We all had Ozone Wings except that mine was an Ozone Roadster 3 22 meters. For long distance group flying, it is nice if all pilots can fly at the same speed, but I was about 5mph faster because the other pilots’ wings were bigger in size for their weight ratio compared to mine.   My first flight with the group was unbelievable. I knew that we were going to follow the east side of the Sierra Nevada south, but I had no clue how high we were going to fly. The other pilots never told me that we were going to climb to 16,600 feet MSL. Can you imagine? The three Vittorazi Moster 185s took us there. The weather was perfect – no turbulence and a brilliantly blue sky. Flying above the 14,505 foot high Mt. Whitney was an experience I’ll never forget.   It is incredible that such a small 2 stroke engine could take us that high. We launched that morning from Bishop, California at 4,150 feet and landed at Lone Pine two hours and 77 miles later at an elevation of 3,727 feet – and in between we climbed to over 16,600 feet.   Many pilots rarely fly higher than 1,000 feet above their Launch Zones. We had the experience of going 12,440 feet above our LZ – a very rewarding day. Adam Murray, Mitch Neary and I were very impressed by the Moster 185. Vittorazi keeps updating and improving their engines to take us safely to new Flying Adventures. I have started the Vittorazi Moster 185 and launched at minus 270 feet below sea level (Salton Sea, CA) and also at 9,000 feet (Creede, CO) and never had issues starting it. What a great engine!   Thank you Vittorazi, Scout Paramotor and Ozone Power for taking me that high safely. Love you guys"."
