Tucker, thanks for this video. I made the mistake of watching paramotor accident videos before I take classes and I was feeling a bit disenchanted with the safety factor of these wings. This video just put my anxiety at rest. This ol' man will definitely be taking your advice and starting out with an 'A' wing.

Same - Ive been watching accident videos to see just how badly it can go wrong and what safety options are available to rectify issues. Quite a few online including intentional tangles and even a bird strike and both survived with the use of a reserve. Thanks Tucker for the video. Interesting and as always informative. I would never have thought to ask about this topic. Well done.

I love the videos. Would you do a video talking about your reserve? Maybe the different types and when you'd use it? Keep up the awesome work!

Love watching your weekly videos. At 46 years old, I just got into PPG. I also have the same Ozone wing, but large to carry my 230 lb body! It's been a long dream of mine and I'm happy to report I am loving it! Your videos are inspirational, keep them coming!

This advice is invaluable and will ultimately keep people in the sport and also make them better pilots -well said Mr Gott.

This is the wing that was recommended to me for my first wing!! Thank you for the review Tucker, you don't know how much this is appreciated :) :) :)

thanks for another highly inspirational video. always fun to watch and listen to you.

Thanks man, another great video. I like your honest feedback on the products you try. I feel much better seeing you demonstrate how safe this wing can be. This really showed the difference between the high performance wings you fly and a beginner wing. I was a little scared for you during the stall and collapse demo, but I like how you also explained that you were up high and had your reserve for safety. You do a good job of demonstrating responsible flying and you are a good spokesman for this sport. Keep the videos coming and stay safe!

love this video, have been thinking for months how the mojo would be a perfect starter wing and this seals the deal

Thank you for these. I like learning about the safety aspect of a good wing.

Great video as always. It's so sweet how you make it feel like I'm the one up there flying.

Love this channel. Thanks for the advice on the A wing Tucker.

Great info Tucker. I'm a 63 year old guy who has never flown or even thought of it. But your videos are really inspiring and well produced. This wing would be my speed for sure. I would be a slow cruiser kinda guy. I've watched every video of yours. keep 'em coming.

I want to get into paramotoring but as an older guy I want to be safe and cautious. This looks like the ideal wing to start with. Watching Tucker perform these moves makes me feel a lot better about the safety of certain wings. Obviously a lot of different things can happen and nothing is 100% perfect but seeing this Mojo pop back in place is comforting.

Thanks T-Gottem! This was super reinsuring about that wing's capabilities and safety.

You had me convinced I wanted to learn..love your thoroughness..I talked myself out of it just the amount of time I would have to relax and do it was my take down..thx

I love your vids and catch myself watching and leaning into your turns as you are flying. . . . Stay Safe and Always Have FUN . . .

sick flight. thanks for making that video. helping me decide on a new wing.

Tucker! I am in the process of buying a Mojo PWR for myself and this video just reassured any doubts I had! Trading the old Muse II for something newer. I don't see the need to get into a more intense wing to enjoy paramotoring. As long as I'm airborne, I am one happy pilot! Keep it up bro!

As always great video. Scary watching that wing collapse!

This video answers a question I had asked on another one of your videos the other day. Also the idea of shuttin her down and doing some gliding for spot landings actually interests me more than coming in under power.

Wonderful demo and encouraging review on this wing! Thanks for the review :)

tucker you say your know instructer but your such a great speaker and you should be an instructer!! your attitude is amazing id pay good money for a well explaining instructer!! ,safe flying tucker another great video 🤗safe flying👍🏻🇦🇺

Big fan of your videos, I learn so much and I’m taking my first lessons this July 2020

Amazing Man! I love your videos. I have always dreamed of becoming a pilot but its just too expensive but now seeing your videos makes me want to start out with this.

Perfect advice, I was wondering exactly this was you said, thank you. 👍🏽

the review on the wing I'm going to buy ! thanks Tucker Gott

I'm 82 and I have bad knees so I doubt that it would be possible for me to fly. However, I get a lot of vicarious pleasure following your adventures. I am a dedicated subscriber!!

Tucker, excellent video. I fly an A in motor but mostly free flight. My wing handles thermals and punchy air well, no collapes yet in up to 3.2 meters per second up. Beginner wings are fun, keep you safe and while they can't perform like the higher spectrum wings, they are a ton of fun to learn to wring out everything they do offer. Great video :)

Great video man. Feelt good to se what happens in a collapse I've learned alot looking at your vids. Im hopping to buy my first paramotor and wing this coming week !

sick flight. thanks for making that video.

I so appreciate this video may be more so than any other it has educated me greatly on what to look for in a beginner wing fore it's given me the technical information that makes me feel more secure in a wing that then it collapse it then rights itself and make itself correct again! thanks so much for this video!

love the videos and love the channel. keep it up tuck

I fly the trusty Mojo2. It's the most docile and forgiving wing you could ever imagine. Won't stall or collapse unless I do something really really stupid! Let's hope Jaclyn will have just as much fun with her new wing as you do! Great flying, Master!

Dude, great tips. Good info. Thanks!

Thanks for the review, very helpful

I love this video to show that you don't need to push the boundaries to give you a buzz, The wing rights itself and that itself will give you the procedure needed to be safe. this is built-in for a reason and I love this

been viewing your videos for two solid days .. 73 year old ex hang glider pilot .. fly model helicopters sail r/c boats . but never gelled with the hang gliding scene . I managed loads of take-offs and mostly arrivals if that is what a landing is supposed to be called . Paragliding looked dodgy to me having witnessed some scary collapses with the bags of washing so unfortunately never moved on and now too old to risk it .Love your adventures and super hands on approach.

Nice job Tucker!

Getting into this! Thanks for the vids

Hey man great job on the Video! That was sick dude keep it up!

Awesome video as usual. This is the same idea as the "slow car fast" thing in the car world. You gain a lot more as a driver by learning how to drive a slow car fast than you do out of starting in a high-powered sports car. You become better by mastering your equipment than by using it as a crutch.

Great video man! Could you do a video that goes through and shows all that you need to start gliding and what you'd recommend for a beginner?

Great Video with a great review with advice of a wing that should be the foundation for anyone new,,in the sport ( crawling comes before walking and running,,, LOL thats just the way it is)(( Baby steps)) and I cant wait to see more of Jaclyn up in the air with you . Tucker, your a great power motor pilot and I think you have yet to tap the potential you have as an instructor to teach and share this great sport with others ;-)

huge thanks to aviator PPG... great content from this. thanks!

dude this seriously was one of the coolest videos youv done and made alot of ppl think of the sport alot safer as long as your smart and know where your limits and having pateince does. And also.... why wouldnt you want the safest wing possible even for the first 2 years.... i dont get ppls wishes to die hahah i like my life... and would like to fly a million more times....

Ah, it lands so gently!! Im pleased

Backfiring: let the engine idle 30 seconds after higher RPM operation, and check for exhaust leaks. I removed the exhaust head and put Permatex 81878 Ultra Copper RTV on both sides of the exhaust gasket before reassembling. Haven't had a backfire since.

Just an FYI, Backfire vs afterburn: A backfire is an explosion that's created by an engine that occurs in the air intake system rather than inside the combustion chamber...... , An Afterfire, sometimes called Afterburn, is an audible popping sound, individual or multiple that often occurs when the fuel/air mixture is too rich or has a momentary instance of a rich condition. This pop at times can and do resemble small caliber firearms going off. Afterfire occur in the exhaust system..........

@lamegame420

7 жыл бұрын

the backfire happened, like you said because you killed the motor at too high an rpm. it is a 2 stroke motor, and the fuel is drawn into the motor through the carburetor by suction of the piston. this still happens as the motor is turning, even though you dont have spark. so once that nicely atomized fuel hits your hot exhaust. it backfires. if the compression of the motor is high enough, and the fuel grade too low. you can even continue to run for a few revs with no spark, like a diesel :)

Tuck, plenty of discussion on wings around YT. Can you do a video on harnesses? Including the differences between PPG and PG. What is a good starter harness that a beginner should begin with?

Nice day. 🤠. Weather is excellent there.

Safety is a good thing. If you live today, you can have fun another time...

Great stall tutorial. Thank you.

Damn that wing sounds crisp. Much new wow. One of my first packs after getting cleared was a brand new sport wing, maybe 7 jumps. I think I held that poor guy up for an hour.. One of the nicest things about PPG seems to be the fact you don't have to pack your wing up ever flight :D

This was both sobering and encouraging at the same time. That B Stall...i was sweating watching you do that...

Great vid -- all the reviews I have seen on this wing so far have been great - I know EN-A wings are slower..... to increase the safety factor... but with your BH motor what was you average level speed do you think? Cheers, Patrick

Tucker. next time you go up try another asymmetric collapse and pull the A's further so the whole side of the wing collapses and folds under. that's a proper asymmetric collapse. And that was a great B-line line stall! that's Just how I do it

I was thinking about going used on my first wing, but after seeing the sky school and your review of this wing, I guess I'm going to have to buy new, unless I can find one of these from someone "moving up". Looks like exactly what I am looking for, a safe docile nature with a little bit of spark, still. It looks like this one turns really nice and tightly for an A wing. "Spot landings are fun". "I don't really have a spot for this one". Probably makes them easier to accomplish, accurately. ;-)

Tucker, I love your videos man I have been watching non stop lately so I can make a smart educated decision as to risk vs reward. This wing seems great! Where in Nj is this? I'm in Sussex county and it looks very similar. I would love to learn more from you.

Great video,, Can you use the same wing if your have the motor or using the dynamic lift on the coast

I need to find some training in my area! According to the usppa there are two in my state, so time to start saving lol.

I'm in training myself right now Tucker, and my school (Austinparamotor.com) uses Universals. I did my first kiting runs last weekend, and I found that the Universal comes up pretty easy for me... I wouldn't doubt there are some wings that come up more easily, though.. I'll end up getting a Universal 1.1 as my first wing. I think it's a very versatile wing with a huge speed range, but that can be pretty docile and tolerant of turbulence. I guess it can be pretty difficult to really get to try out a lot of different wings, but I feel confident the Universal will be great for me!

Cool! How much different is this one from the Roadster 2 and Spyder?

The MojoPWR has been the wing I've had my eye on for my first wing. My main goal when flying will be sightseeing and cross country (most likely long distance ~100 miles per trip) in mountainous wilderness. At this point I'm not really even thinking about Acro. You think the Mojo is good for my needs? Especially thermaling? Going ~40+ miles one way to camp in the mountains, then ~40+ miles back out again? Or should I be looking at the Roadster 2? Or something else? I'd definitely prefer something with excellent lift (for getting up and over the mountains easily). As for paramotors, at this point, I have my heart set on the Scout.

so what would be a good beginner paramotor to look at? i am getting interested in this, it is kinda scary though so i dont know lol.

Awesome as usual. Would you consider putting a 360 cam up with you. It would make for great viewing. Keep enjoying the power of the skies, free as a bird.

I work on swing scaffolds sometimes in my trade, and still get queazy the first time off the building. I think para motors would be a great way to get started. Did you have that fear at all, or were you just one of those people born without it?

tucker your skill is Clearly up there scares the heck out of me as a beginner to see you collapsing the wing but man your handle it like a pro how long have you been flying again

Tucker, I'm new to this form of flying and want to know, can you Thermal with the right wing? I live near all sizes of mountains and sailplanes are very popular here. Thanks Bob

Hey Tucker I have really enjoyed watching your videos. I have never flown other than in a jet but I want to start flying a paramotor and I really like the wing that you are using in this video for a beginner. Who is it put out by and what is the name of the wing ? Thanks

Its a great vid, learned a lot!

When are we gonna see more experiments with this wing? This video was pretty darn informative!

man, your wing control is paramount

you are making good content always. do you have used with good conditions paraglider wing?
