    I hope you do make a video on your equipment. I have no idea what to get. Give me a heads up. I'm a beginner at 175lb I'm 48 years old and I don't want to do any crazy tricks. Just a good solid motor and wing. Quiet would be nice. I'm kinda wanting a quad not sure yet. Thanks so much for your videos your a great teacher and no way will I try this without professional training.

Thank you! PS: There is no way in hell I would ever pick up this hobby! I don’t like heights even though I have several pilots in our family. My grandpa always used to take us for rides in his Piper Cub and Fairchild. I grew up in Racine, WI. He flew me up to the EAA museum and brought me back to school once to UW Eau Claire.

    As a former sailplane pilot, and basic level instructor, I completely agree. I've only discovered Tucker's channel and the field of paramotoring in the last couple of days (although of course I was aware of what I was calling powered hang-gliders). Don't let his young age fool you, Tucker is a top-notch pilot and teacher. I'm knocking on in years now but I'm really wondering whether I need to find a paramotor course.

    A,B,C are group of lines connecting the wing to the risers. The risers are the straps connecting the lines to the carabiners. The A lines are connected to the front of the wing. The B lines are connected to middle of the wing, the c lines are connected to the middle back. And the brake lines at the trailing edge. Trimming is adjusting the lenght of the risers, so the back of the risers are longer or shorter than the front. It changes the angle of attack, the angle between the wing and the airflow, changing the speed of the wing, and other flight behavior.

Those swoops to land are awesome and must be scary to learn at first! Great channel, always honest and fun to watch ...

    I liked this and don't pull yourself down, you are teaching on every video whether you are aware of it or not. When you are thirsty for knowledge you watch the videos where you think you are getting the most help and I watch yours so hen I eventually take to the skies your teaching and the schools teaching will combine to make it a lot easier to understand. It is early days in the UK but we have poorer weather to contend with but there you are, at least it is finally here. Keep the videos coming we are watching you !!!

    This "Basic Training" was another awesome video of yours. So, this coming summer, a friend and I are planning on taking a paramotor flight course. It is a week long, 8 hours each day and includes flights using their equipment. Part of the reason I think it's good to see these "basic training" videos, is it will help during the course because I will know what to ask when it comes time. I've always had a drive to fly, but it is very expensive to do so. Your videos made me totally want to pick this sport. I love that even watching other people's videos, they will mention you and always with total respect.

    When Tucker said "don't go try it at home because it won't work like that" he's very right, please dont. I liked this video a lot though, you're a good teacher ;). Just a thought i think weight shift effectiveness has a lot to do with the gear you're flying and also your weight. For example on the air conceptions with the Mojo if I just lift one leg and move my upper body it really doesn't do much. To make any type of noticable turn with weight shift on that setup I really have to slide my whole body to one side of the harness and cross a leg, while in the scout it doesn't seem like there's even room to do that.

    Judson Graham I have the disadvantage of having a wide upper torso. I only have about an inch total between me and the weight shift arms. Plus the 26m spyder isn't the most agile wing. I can weight shift and it definitely has an effect, but it takes me trying to shift my hardest to the left to keep the air conception going straight at full throttle. Need to get me some anti torque lamels.

  • @gladandgood
    @gladandgood5 жыл бұрын

    I appreciate your effort, but I was lost almost immediately. You talked about tips and something else and A,B, and C, which I think must be different parts of your wing. It would have helped if I could have asked questions, and before we even started flying, it would have been good to study a diagram with all the different parts relevant to controlling the paramotor. I think you kind of take the vocabulary and how the parts work for granted. The 4 or so interruptions for ads also didn't help. Reading through the comments, it's obvious some people got a lot more from this than I did, and that's good. Perhaps if I studied up some and then re-watched the video, I'd get more out of it, too. So again, thanks for the effort.

    Hi Tucker I learned to fly paramotors about the same time as you, with Alex Ledger at Sky School in Spain, but due to work commitments, the weather here in uk and my partner didnt like me doing it, so i gave it up. But started to watch your videos and it got me thinking what i was missing. So i started to make time, My partner has gone, dont worry she dont blame you ..lol.. I think i have seen most of your videos and think there are fantastic. a good refresher for me after not doing it for a while. On a couple of you videos you had landed down wind as you wasnt sure which way the wind was blowing. A little tip.... if i am flying cross country and there is no indications of which way the wind is blowing when i am landing , i carry a small squash ball with a streamer attached, make a pass and drop the streamer to my landing site , indicating which way the wind is blowing , then i make my approach. Keep up the good work

WOW, i think it was a refreshing dose of reality of what can happen. Its great to see and hear how you assess conditions and very practised approach you follow. I think its important though that would-be PPGs should watch the fails as much as the successes, if, like me, its on the list of things to do in life. What i learned from it is, good trusted tuition, education and gear and not to rush be anything
