Büttner Easy Plane

The Büttner Easy Plane is a German paramotor that was designed by Gerald Büttner and produced by Büttner Propeller of Obernkirchen for powered paragliding. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly.

Design and development
The Easy Plane 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 20 hp Solo engine in pusher configuration with a 2.85:1 ratio reduction drive and a 115 cm diameter Büttner Propeller-designed  propeller. The fuel capacity is 5 L, with an option of a 10 L tank.

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.
