That some strong string

A difficult thing in P1 is comprehending what the instructor is actually trying to relate with their phrase choices when you don't have experience, words like 'put your arms back', doesn't register well in terms of controlling the glider and how that relates to putting one's arms back. So in learning it's a constant interpretation to try to figure out what the instructor meant to say in order to understand the expectation. I like this idea of kiting hands-free as practice, need to find somewhere to realistically do that as my P1 training area is a steep hill with landing field & nothing steady about the wind. The steep hill limits options, in running you can't change direction much so if the wind starts coming to the side or behind you running down that hill you can't just shift foot position to correct & it can be hard to even detect because it's tricky to look up when running down a steep pocky hill. I need to find a steady light wind with open flat area to practice kiting as described here.

Spyder/Sirocco…

I had an instructor do this same drill with me. Changed my ground handling proficiency in an instant. Eye opening.

👍

Great tips! I commonly see people too deep on the brakes on take off, and also pushing the As forward when their arms should be back.

This is great Trevor! (but I feel so called out, LOL) I'll be giving this a try this weekend with my fresh new wing from Backcountry PPG!

I’m not sure if i already saw this on your page or somewhere else but I remember this learning trick from a video and tried it myself. That person said something like “do nothing at all, just run and watch it happen.”

The Naruto Run Inflation!

Very good idea

Good job

Hi, I have tinox with a 202 in it. Is it normal for the motor to learn forward and back when coming on and off the power?I am about 13st and seem to have to hang points quite far back to get the correct angle

This was a very timely video for me. I am a PPG pilot and just talking about trying some hike and fly yesterday. I travel a lot and its much easier to take a wing and harness with you! I like in New England in the mountains (not really mountains compared to UT) so I think I may be looking it. I have a harness (Not a pod but a hike and fly) and I was considering taking my PPG wing out for a spin but I think I may take a trip out to meet the local pilots first, I think my next purchase is going to be a wing that works for this. Thanks for the info this was great.

This is aviation, just like with any other aircraft you should have a check list to ensure that your gear is in working condition and everything is done. I've had a checklist since I got into this sport, it takes all of ten minutes to get my rig built and me strapped in. I've added things along the way. I think everyone should have one.

Hhhmmm. I wonder what gave you the idea to do this vid? Maybe it is because I was just there for training and FORGOT TO STRAP MY LEG STRAPS ON A TAKE OFF!!!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ So yeah, a checklist would probably help me. Lol. Thanks again Trevor for all your help and encouragement. Your class was spectacular!!

Nice

that gas cap placement is an actual deal breaker. what on earth?

Thanks

Save the bacon!

Wow sounds like a great class 👏

Truer words never have been spoken

Cool beans review, Mr.T! But even after looking at the video 3 times, I still don't know what engine it is! Best, Rob ^^

Edited Comment.. my mistake! im flying paramotor since 2010.. my first gear had SWING ARMS... it means 14 years ago... But new designs are much better anyway

😂😂😂❤❤❤

I want to learn how to do this but there’s no schools near me 😢

10:32 good explanation, but not quite. You can't release that wing completely with little or no forward speed - the angle of attack must match the airspeed or you are back in the stall zone repeatedly, which is why you saw that cycle of collapses. Always set the correct angle of attack using the brakes - for the current airspeed. Brake the surge for sure, release partially to avoid holding the wing in the stall zone as you say, but not so far that it surges forward into the frontal collapse zone or else you're on a roller coaster ride of pilot induced oscillations. Keep up the good work, love the immense ground handling skills.

You didn’t say much about not getting scammed… Pretty much assume anyone selling anything on facebook marketplace is out to scam you or rob you. If you’re not buying in person at a flight school or fly in or something where you can see the gear and talk to the person, and where there are witnesses… just say no. That pretty much goes for anything. In my town last night someone tried to rob a who was selling his motorcycle on marketplace. The robber got shot in the face four times so I don’t think it will happen again. But yeah, facebook marketplace is awful.

Thats what my instructor that I used did to me , Frame wasn't made anymore so no parts so the motor was old too and wasn't my size either

Not being able to come down is scary. When you went away from the mountain I figured there'd be more thermals over the pavement and houses

Nice video with solid advice explained concisely. I'd still suggest most people buy new PPG equipment until they gain the skills to recognize and/or test whether used equipment is worth purchasing.

The one thing I would have added: Go to training first! You will learn what decent gear looks like and feels like, plus you won’t be beating up your gear as you learn. After training you can hit your instructor to see if a used kit is a good deal, or old, antiquated crap. (If you are buying used)

Thanks!

Thanks Tevor. After watching your video I found I know nothing. LoL. If I were to buy a used Paramoter. I would buy a lot more slower. Again, Thanks for your wisdom. 😊

I got my first wing inspected for line strength and porosity at BA this year, 2018 Dudek 28 Uni 1.1. Porosity passed exceedingly in 4 colors. The short 'triangulated' lines at the glider (ones that will fail if any usually) barely passed however did not pass to recommended load. Time for all new A lines at minimum, including all the A lines that lead up to the glider attachments.

Is a Walkerjet with a simopuzzlini engine a no go then?

I can't wait to have a paramotor

I bought used. I got a yooda yak which is a heavy bastard but it is strong. I would love to see a review from any popular paravlogger. I got a 1 year old niviuk link 2 for 2700. Yooda yak with moster m19 for 3000.

Great advice. I'm selling my older scout soon but I can say that it's still very "modern" compared to the ones you showed.

Great advice. The last thing a PPG pilot needs is to worry about the condition of his wing. But what does one do when all dealers refuse to sell you the Glider you need? 🤔

I have a air conception nitro 200 for sale in michigan! Detroit Craigslist

A must for all new pilots! Also, I come from the camp that training and instructor help will point you in the right direction. I credit my school for helping choose the best paramotor and wing that fit my skill set!
