But you don't want to buy an engine just to play it at the occasional concert. You want something reliable that you can depend upon with your life. When it's a limited edition model, then how do you know there aren't some hidden flaws in it? Usually, you'd want something that's widely used, so that there's plenty of data available on its performance, including limitations and bugs.

@@guieggert4592 I'm truly surprised that there aren't tons of electric paramotors out there already. The insane amount of power possible with them in such a small package would fit the requirements perfectly. Imagine having several times the thrust available instantly, while being able to slow cruise and conserve battery or just outright shut the motor off just as easily when it's not needed. Drop in to a tesla charging station for a quick top off or plug in just about anywhere with a short extension cord. It won't have the same range as a paramotor engine, but an hour or two worth of flight would be doable with current tech.

I love that Helix prop sound! Also that "tingy" exhaust sound makes it sound like a dirt bike. Very cool 👌🏼

Awesome seeing my Aviator January 2020 class picture is still hanging up in the parts room! Today is the 1 year anniversary of my first flight there too!

Man, that thing is BEAUTIFUL!!! I remember looking at factory motocrossers when I was a teenager and drooling. They were so far out of reach for the average guy I knew. That would probably be the biggest negative on this engine - cost. I'm sure you're gonna pay for all the pretty and strengthened parts. Well worth it for your style of flying I'd say. The case and con-rod at least will handle several rebuilds, probably much more. Could be the last engine you'll ever need!

Love what you do and I love watching your videos! Great job keep it up!

It's beautiful Tucker. I've been watching your videos for months and am looking forward to my first flight this summer!

Been loving this channel for years now. Keep up the good work tuck.

O my gosh I’m so happy for you! Love the motor it’s incredibly beautiful!

Again... Great info. Even though I may never afford to gett into paramotoring I love your vids. At least this way I get to fly vicariously through you. Keep them coming! And a BIG thank you for doing so!!!!!!!

I figured you'd have to pay for all the strength and pretty parts. Ouch! Well worth it for Tucker's flying style I'd say. That could be the last engine he'll ever need. Everything will probably handle 20 sets of pistons and rings over many years I'd bet.

It's BEAUTIFUL! I want to hang out with you for a day! You are one blessed dude!

The R looks sweet!! How blessed are you to have them GIVE you one?! Guess that means you can hook a brother up with that old Plus eh? 😆🤣😂🤘🤘🪂🪂🪂

Testing out different props with that beautiful new engine, would most definitely be interesting to explore!

I’m looking forward to another video where you compare props on the Factory-R. Topics to test should include: Apparent thrust Throttle response Climb rate Fuel economy (Another Icarus race some day???) Noise level Vibration Pull start comfort Top ground speed Maneuverability

Prop length is only one of two thrust determinants of props. The other is pitch as specified by the linear distance traveled in a complete revolution.

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL BRO

Dude your camera is amazing. Awesome video!

FREE ENGINE!? Nice, Thank Vittorazi... Man enjoy that Tucker

Tucker, can you one day do a side-by-side comparison of the top engines, just like you did a comparison of different propellers? The engine is the heart of the overall machine, and it's the most difficult piece to improve, so I really want to see a direct comparison of the pro's & cons of each.

Next prop, 140cm, 3blade, E-prop.

Beautiful motor for sure! also if you’re interested you could fly up here to Alaska! And we could do a fly back to Knik glacier. And a couple other places while you’re here. it would be a blessing and an honor to fly with the person that got me in the flying! Especially in my home state of Alaska. I could probably even pay for your plane ticket.👍🏻 Safe flying to you all 🪂

I have such a terrible fear of heights but I love your channel Tucker!

I have a paramotor, it's pretty cool. I flew a year ago in PA and with my luck it started snowing, the air was so frigid I almost crashed, when I got to the ground no snow. That weather for u

Hi! Love your vids and attitude!

Saw paramotors over the beach for the first time today. It was awesome!! They were like 40 ft off the ground tho hope people were not disturbed

5:55 He's not gonna start it on the ground- nope, he puts it on cuz he's good at this.

Sweet infomercial man!

What is the prop weight of the one it came with and what is the weight of one that is snappy on acceleration?

Stay there, I'm on my way over!! JK. That is SICK! Can't wait to see how she holds up compared to MY20s

Tucker, more power & prop 140, what was the noise levels, your thoughts ?hard to tell in vlog. looks superb.

So I have been watching you forever. I haven't had time to get into this but I do now. What is a good starting setup for me. I do have knowledge of flying and have flown Cessna 172. I just want a few pointers if you have time to help

I also think the factor R is worth considering as a cross country engine. More thrust from a 140 & better fuel economy through EFI can only mean lower overall fuel burn. I weigh 63kg (naked) and would take a shot that it would achieve atom L/ph figures maybe 4 stroke figures.

Holy Sh... What a piece of Art !

Nice job, I would put some lock tight blue on those prop bolts. I would never give them a chance to back out a mm

Great video...No doubt the Factory R looks sexy!

Good music choice!

Great video. He learned the difference between props that climb and props that are more efficient in cruise. He has a cruise prop. I'm curious why they chose 7075T6 over 6061T3.

Tucker, that prop washer looks distorted in the light where the titanium screws heads contact it. It might be a good idea to use some washers on them to help distribute the force. I’m assuming you used blue Loctite and torqued them. By the way never ever get the Loctite on plastic, polyester, polymers, epoxies, fiberglass or carbon fiber. It causes embrittlement! For metal to metal only. Put it on the fastener’s threads and carefully pass it through any non metal assembly. There are also some pipe sealants that also react with plastic so be careful.

Damn. That is a thing of beauty

Yes🤞🏻🔥💥🔥

Paramotor jewelry! Beautiful peice of high tech engineering. Nice!

I don't know much about this sport, but I thought I'd watch this after your first $3,000 paramotor video. Wow, this is amazing looking and sounds like a motorcycle.

I know nothing about this stuff but it's something I would seriously invest in. Getting started seems like the hardest part.. learning what I need.. where to go to learn.. researching.. etc.

It's starting to turn bronze and purple on the elbow! I got a little salt water spray on it and it wiped off. Really hoping it doesn't corrode like the normal exhausts!

I want to do this it looks like pure flight. Just a reminder. At minimum clear of clouds at all times. Must be able to glide to landing and maintain clear of clouds if loss of power. Maintaining VFR is vital for safety for all pilots not on an interment flight plan. Every one wants to dance with the clouds butt there are pilots that are IMC busting through them at great speed and would have a hard time seeing and avoiding one dancing to close above, in or below the clouds. Happy flying. Be safe! CFII

I was gonna go with the factory R and parajet maverick with red parts but as a new pilot and new paramotor mechanic I decided to go with the regular moster. Longer maintenance intervals and more common parts BUT man its sweet. Glad we get to see it in action.

Also I went with the 150cm frame to run a 140cm E-prop and I think you will find the E-prop more responsive. I was thinking the prop alone added about 10% power so looks like you feel the same. I love this running into the sky paramotor thingy Peace!

Also also lol I would like to thank Leah Catullo for Her incite on the 140cm prop and just being willing to talk. Like always keep doing your thang Tucker.

Is it possible to change the pulley where the prop is attached to a smaller one to make the prop turn faster? Or will the engine lack the power to do so and just run at lower rpm?

Free is good What if you pot on rollerblade for take-off and landing on the landing strip

Hey Tucker is it possible to just trim the 140 prop slightly to say 138 to give clearance?

Great video as always Tucker, that fractory R looks sweet. Really appreciate the effort you put into all your videos! 😊👌🏽 Btw I’m running a 135cm two blade Eprop on my scout? Have you considered that an option?

@TuckerGott

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks man! I have a 135cm two blade Eprop as well. I tested it in this video. I think a 135 three blade Eprop for the 2.87 would be epic on the Factory R. - kzread.info/dash/bejne/eJaFmsemodeYg9o.html

Tucker, I noticed when you were doing the throttle blips, the Scout-Mobile's cage torqued (due to propeller inertia at that point, I know). BUT, with the higher thrust of the 140cm prop, 1) are the anti-torque vanes on the cage set to counteract the torque of the larger prop, 2) if not, are they adjustable, and should they be adjusted for the larger prop? Man, I want to get started in this!!!

Wow that thing is sweet .

Nice bro

That is a state of the art beauty

@sumukhbharati2714

Look at it.

So coooool

would a 135cm prop be best? bigger than the 130cm, and more clearance than the 140cm..? Also, it would be interesting to know about fuel economy once you've flown it XC a bit...

To get more torque with same size engine probably they changed the timing so I guess is a bit more prone to detonation and generally would be less reliable than plus R

Tucker, I really think you should try out the Minari F1, I will provide you a complete engine to demo with a E-prop. Based on your video of the Factory R, I truly believe the F1 is better and for significantly less cost. Scary power, LIGHTNING FAST throttle response, nearly same weight. It feels like a racing engine. I am not sponsored or receiving any credit for your demo.

What a cool hobby..:)..

no need to torque the bolt / put glue on the thread ?

🔥🔥🔥💙

The 140 prop a better fit for the new engine because of pitch? A 140 prop pitch adjustment would make it even better?

What carb does it use? Ever think a out using a lectron or smartcarb?

I’m in love

Hey Tucker! Stupid question time: has anyone you know of tried to build a paramotor video game controller or simulator? Picture something like a home gym and a screen or Oculus headset. Genuine controls from a commercial paramotor.

Damn Tuck, way to make us all jelly.

wow look at that tuned pipe cool

So motors are progressing well, any more word on the Electric motors or the flight times?

What is your maximum RPM on the 130 & 140cm prop? What is your local elevation above sea-level?
