Advice for New Pilots: How to pick the right wing.
มุมมอง 17K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Selecting the right size wing is an important part of your equipment purchase. He's how we would size a wing selection for a pilot who trains with us. We strongly recommend that new pilots work with instructors or competent mentors when making these decisions. It will save your money and headache in the long run.

August Training at Midwest Powered Paragliding
That was a great video. My sixth or so flight it took me a while to get to the field and get set up. It was around 1030am when I took off and wanted to fly around some small clouds. The air really started getting bumpy and when I landed, I crashed. Now I stick to the first two hours or last two hours of the day!
Very helpful. Thank you.
One of the best ppg vids explaining weight dynamics.
This is the best, most succinct video I have seen on this subject. I took notes so I will always have this. Oh, I start my training with Midwest PPG on 8/3/2024. Can't wait!!!
Heads up, guys! New AC 90-66C was published June 2023. It cancels AC 90-66B, referenced in this video. www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_90-66C.pdf
I just bought a new quad paramotor and took training. Ive taken 5 flights and two of them were bumpy and made me nervous. It was just after sunrise and right before sundown. I can't even imagine paramotoring mid day. Scary.
Love these videos. It really helps to see all of this before coming out for my training with you folks. "We're making magic here people!" 😆😎
I'm thinking it's worthwhile also mentioning the type of wing one flies with. With PPG reflex wings works very well, but trying to thermal with it really is a bad idea. Even dual purpose wings may bite you in an instant. A video explaining the dynamics of flexwing VS (let's say) EN-A rated free flight wing may be very valuable to many pilots.
Wow...good...super good 👍👍👍👍👍
95Kg of thrust?????? I don't beleive it. Moster gives 75Kg, How can an 80 give more???????
not kg lbs
I have 8 solo skydiving jumps. I stood up my very first landing which made me feel like a badass haha. Unfortunately it went down hill from there. I stood up 3 out of the 8 landings I think. Is it easier to land a paramotor wing vs a skydiving canopy?
When I did my first solo, my instructor had to tell me to put my hands up, as I rounded out a few feet early, but pulled the brakes down a couple of times, then landed OK. This was with an Ok ozone mojo pwr 2, and a Bulldog frame with Atom 80
❤ very nice video.
Gotta test an Atom80 with a Vittorazi 140cm prop but my personal favorite combination to run on the Iris Infinity has been a 3 blade E-Prop 130cm. 😍🤩
Lovely! Beautiful! Yep, sex not so cool anymore. Oh, that's why the corn's yellow. Welcome to the skies guys. I need to make my way down to Franklin, that big grass in purty!
Well explained and communicated. Thank you. Ive this worked out in an excel file to automatically calculate and check. Much appreciated
Thanks a lot 🙏
Great information. Thank you
all of weight including paraglider weight or everything excluding paraglider?
Great stuff as usual! Dave loves his flamethrower!!!
Hilarious...! Great stuff!
Did you make or buy the flame thrower? If you made it i need the build guide.
love it
Any reason is a good reason to get out that flamethrower!
Good stuff! Glad to see the fire pit out back still getting some use, lol.
Its Wao, Its amazing 🎉
I love that but I can't afford 😢
What a class... Congrats to all.
Great test Thanks.
Thanks for sharing. Watching several landings is helping me to really get it in my head to do the process correctly with my trainer.
I just went to the site and it says "error establishing a database connection." Is this site still active and managed by you all?
Ahh, takes me back! Keep up the great work all!
Always fun to see a trike go up with anyone new to the sport.
You guys are still hard at work changing lives , i love it !!!!
Hey guys!
Ok nerdy maths explained well = subscribed!
The illustrations were great for me. Seeing what you are talking about really makes it easy to understand. Thank you!!
"don't look at the ground" is the worst advice you can give on teaching someone how to land.
Looks like an AWESOME time!! Can't wait to start the year at Midwest PPG!
Short vid mate but bloody excellent information. I always have issues landing
Excellent video, thank you!
Thank you for this. I was fairly certain that crossing a runway midfield at 300-500' was much safer, than attempting to cross the runway path where planes may be coming or going at higher altitude and speeds, as they are at the ends.
hi . which paramotor they are flying?
I live in the desert. About a year ago I tried to to fly on a cool overcast day with nil winds at about 3:30 - 4PM which I thought would be perfect. It's cool, it's overcast. I figured thermal activity should be light. As soon as my feet left the ground I took the express elevator up to about 150 feet straight up. It then dumped me out and I think I fell more than 50 feet. Being new at the time I semi panicked and tried to go around to land. I hit the same lift once more which shot me up again only to dump me out and let me fall again. That didn't do anything to ease my discomfort and at this point I gave up trying to go around, I just wanted on the ground again and I knew I wasn't going to get there fast enough because I kept getting lift and then getting dumped so I just turned in the general direction of the field, killed the motor and ended up getting dumped into a patch of huge tumbleweeds. Took me awhile to untangle my wing and work up the courage to fly again but as an inexperienced pilot I was lucky to walk away from that unscathed. I learned thermals don't need HOT air to kick off, they just need air that's "warmer" than the surrounding air no matter what the air temperature is.
Nyc beautiful 😍✨❤💕
This is THE place to go for training. Instructors are awesome.
Thanks!!!
Wow, they're all reading from the same script :) I think that's exactly what I said..."That was awesome!!"
Fantastic video! Smiles all round!! 😍
Thanks guys
