The Bailey V5 paramotor is designed, manufactured and assembled in house to exacting standards. The alloy cage and engine chassis are made from drawn aviation specification aluminium tube of various gauges giving maximum structural stiffness without adding excess weight. All tubes are precision TIG welded using filler rod of the same material to insure uniform strength and quality of finish. In the event of a very heavy landing or fall the cage is designed to deform & absorb impact, protecting the pilot and the main chassis. This ‘No compromise’ design has high structural rigidity in key stressed areas and is designed to be dismantled quickly & easily, leaving the chassis/engine to remain free standing when disassembled.
It is widely understood that the optimum pivot point location for moving hang bars on a paramotor is on the same horizontal plane as the thrust line and vertically in line with the chassis/engine Centre of gravity (C of G). On most designs this ideal location has obstructions which prevent optimum placement.
It has been demonstrated that with zero brake input and full power (60kg static) a left turn (opposite to torque) can be made with weight shift only, the machine can be made to maintain heading with weight shift input only, from idle all the way to full power. Cage Construction Both left and right top quarters feature a handy throttle handle hook and on manual (pull start) machines also feature our unique fastening clamp/webbing strap/roller pulley, which locates the pull starter handle conveniently just behind the pilots head. The cage quarters are secured with strong Velcro fasteners allowing quick assembly/disassembly with complete peace of mind and ultimate portability.
The engine has a 2 stage oil filtering system, with a replaceable oil filter that is easy accessible and a glass oil level window so you easily check the oil level.
The optional mounting method is our Quick Release System, which utilizes six 8mm dowel pins instead of threaded studs, so the propeller fits over the six dowel pins, again sandwiched by neoprene gaskets and then the quick release plate fits on last and a single bolt fixing secured with an 'R' clip enables fast and easy propeller removal and more evenly distributed clamping pressure. The Quick Release Syetem is a very popular option and is supplied with its own bespoke prop bolt fastening spanner.

Overview
The chassis is quite different to our previous designs and has integral pick-up points for the all new Active hang bars.
This pivot placement was one of the key design briefs when we were planning the V5 engine and chassis layout. The result is a pivot point that is as close as possible to the ideal position, rearward of the harness plane and in line horizontally with the prop centre, extensive flight testing by many different size/weight pilots has proved that the system not only remains vertically stable with large or small power changes but also exhibits virtually zero torque. 
Weight shift steering ability is further enhanced by the pivot geometry of the hang bars, when viewed from the front the bar follows a downward and inward path, this exaggerates the weight transfer onto the down going riser in the direction of turn by its inward movement. . A static amount of riser offset is built into the bars also so at a cruse power setting the bars (and therefore the seat) can remain level. 
The V5 safety cage is a single hoop, 4 piece split design that is clear anodised for added durability and incorporates alloy inserts to prevent any unwanted movement. Each quarter features integral line fastening loops and have our own specification, black nylon cage safety line woven through them. 
All Bailey V5 paramotors are supplied with a bespoke padded cage quarter bag and propeller covers.
The V5 engine has a capacity of 195cc and is the latest development of our 4 stroke design. Available with manual pull start, this new engine has a power output of 20.5Hp, which gives in excess of 65Kg (143lbs) of thrust when used with our 1.30m Helix propeller.
We exclusively use the superb carbon-composite propellers made to our design by Helix Carbon GmbH in Germany. These top quality propellers are a 2 piece 1.30m, 2 blade design that slide together to produce an ultra-strong and lightweight set-up that can be easily stowed in the their supplied Bailey Aviation covers.
The V5 uses a new bespoke harness designed in collaboration between Bailey Aviation and Sup’Air of France.
The V5 throttle has a lightweight alloy core, with black silicone anti-slip handgrip and ergonomically designed alloy lever with an integral adjustable webbing strap. The throttle cable itself is housed in a hard wearing textile braided covering that is heat shrunk to keep it fully sealed. A recessed high quality stop button is fitted to all manual start V5 models. The throttle itself can be adapted from right to left handed use with no tools required in a matter of seconds.
