Q -     Hi, whats the difference between the Nemo and Nemo Moto. I have a Paramotor but also fancy the idea of free flying where possible. The only difference I can see is the Moto has less glide.

A-      The Nemo has three risers (split A's), the Nemo Moto has four, hence Nemo Moto has slightly more parasitic drag.
 The people at Dudek tell me that the extra riser makes the Nemo Moto slightly more progressive in steering and the brake range is longer. They also say that the Nemo is very good with a paramotor but the Moto is not so good for free flying, so if you want to do both go for the Nemo.
