    Great video for everyone who wonders what the heck I should get... this is more than what you may ever need but you really are a great advocate for the products you use. This stirred up a bunch of questions but I will wait to ask when you are on the show in a few weeks. Thanks Mitch.

    Love watching you fly.....I wanted to be a fighter pilot back when I graduated from high school but they wouldn't take me. But now that I'm older and have my blood pressure perfect, I want to take the flying a helicopter off my bucket list. I have watched tons of videos. I really wish I had the funds to buy your machine. Again love what you do God bless you and sky's the limit!!

      I too wanted to fly fighters until I realized how competitive it is to get there and how long it takes. I was surprised and happy to learn that it's easier to fly helicopters for the army

    Yup the helo helmets rock. I use a SPH. Comfortable and the dual visor is a must. The fact they store hidden away and don’t flip up is awesome. 100 times better than a skateboard helmet.

    Interesting helmet, I ended up getting one of the HGU-56/P helmets from our supply officer after he raided drmo while i was in Semback on detachment. Wasn't sure where you got ahold of the face shield but would be a huge plus. If i just had a use for it, full scale aircraft just didn't work into the budget...

    Careful, the legit helmet is ~$2,000...the ones you see under $400 are replicas made in China and could be marketed as legitimate. With motorcycle helmets, the rule of thumb is you never cheap out on it, take that into account.

    • @MitchG

    Did you ever have any issues by switching oil?

    Hi there, just wondering what your views are on 4 stroke motors?
    Keep safe🤘

    • @MitchG
      @MitchG  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I dont have any experience with 4stroke ppg motors but my opinion is they are just added complexity and weight with very little benefit. Yes they are more fuel efficient but out of all the pilots I know, none of them fill their tanks up all the way anyway which means they dont need a more efficient engine. Id rather keep the cost down and fly a 2stroke.

    What would you say this the best wing for speed and safety?

    • @MitchG
      @MitchG  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you prefer speed and safety in trade for efficiency, look at the sky zorro, itv piper, paramania gtx or maybe even a dudek solo/ universal, ozone roadster in a smaller heavy loaded size.
      Those wings are safe and fast if flown at heavier wing loadings. The tradeoff is your climb rate will suffer slightly and you will need to really run on takeoff

      @@commentcrafter4158 the only reason my prop touched the net was because I modified the spacers that came with the frame. It was my fault, not the motors.
      Also, a prop can cut any net except for a steel cable which would be ridiculously for a paramotor. The net is only there to keep brake toggles, throttle cables, or other loose items from going through. To prevent your body from reaching the prop, always start the motor on your back.
