having used this helmet and this camera in the last recording made all the difference the images and the narration became professional congratulations great work
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
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I love any tips you can give me
@Guillermo Brett i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
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.
this facemask is just for crewchiefs in the desert you really dont need that part maybe it helps with the mic boom . There alot of sand and shit when u lift off from helo rotor
I’ve spent allot on adapters trynna get the stock comm system working with all kinds of adapters I feel dumb now seeing how well the sena thing just gets around that
You can get the USHPA "ham license" which lets you legally use the USHPA frequencies for $25 and an easy test. Then you announce WPRY-420. Hadley can give you the test. When was the last tume you repacked your reserve?
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...
I have a pit bike as well. Ive learned the onewheel and unicycle is handy because they fit in very small spaces so you can take it almost everywhere with you
Great video! You've mentioned the thrust difference between the e-prop and the helix in a few videos. It may be time to build a thrust test stand and do a comparison video!
I got me a power 2 fly and speedster 2 wing. I don't use a helmet tho. But I do like that helmet you have looks cool I'd like one like that for my long ez airplane
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.
Meh, I'd buy the cheap one. It's mostly there to hold ear cups and keep bugs out of my eyes. If I have to rely on this helmet to save my life, I'm probably going to be dead anyway 🙃
Did you ever have any issues by switching oil? My dealer said I should stick with the same oil and never change because he said if the oils mix it can cause issues, I currently have motul 800(for a moster 185 MY20) but mabye I'll switch to amzoil if it's better but just wondering if u had any problems from switching, thanks.
I've never flown a trike. I'd switch to electric ppg IF they can build one that weighs less than 60lbs and can fly for 1.5 hours. Right now, battery technology doesnt allow for that to be possible
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.
Nice video Mitch, good job you have access to some good kit. Are you still wearing out those boots of yours? lol . I really liked my 4005 vario, very reliable.
I didn't have to pay for it, the taxpayer did but what's a few pennies each? LOL Do you have the oxygen mask with it? Can it use the same one as the mbu 55 helmet? Love that BC wheel too!
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
Best way to get out to an LZ from the car with gear, mostly. I mean, it’s that, or walk. You can’t really use a bike or a skateboard with gear and over grass and bumps in the field. Also, launching from a OneWheel or EUC is a special kind of fun.
Hey man .. been watching your videos for a while, thanks for the great information. I've checked if you have an email or address which I can ask you few questions about the wings you flying/tried already .. need some of your suggestions . thanks @Mitch G
15 nibia Zion I'll buy it how much 800 a thousand text me back message me back how to make payment. LOL that was six months ago after you got rid of it by now
@@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.

I have the same helmet, I swapped in my Bose A20s! Life changing!

I have the same helmet, only a much darker green and beat up pretty good from flying in Afghanistan and Iraq.
that's a Star wars stormtrooper helmet. Ever since I was a kid I always wondered who were the faces behind them helmets. I see you Mitch👀👉📺📼🎬🎞️🎥

When was the last tume you repacked your reserve?
Thanks! Repacked it about 6 months ago. I get it done annually

Well, just put it on ebay.... they are like 2k new.
Great video as always I appreciate the detailed info on the wings, thanks again !
Lot of cool stuff. I don't understand the one wheel thing and paramotor cross. I'd rather have a pit bike, but still haven't pulled trigger on either.
I have a pit bike as well. Ive learned the onewheel and unicycle is handy because they fit in very small spaces so you can take it almost everywhere with you
What group were you referring to? Looks like your in Cali? Looking to connect up when I get to flyin...Cheers Mitch
Thanks for the chasecam idea. Foam board is cheap at walmart.
You live in el paso? Join the el paso ppg Facebook group.
Great video! You've mentioned the thrust difference between the e-prop and the helix in a few videos. It may be time to build a thrust test stand and do a comparison video!
It's been done. Helix makes more thrust
@@MitchG I think the next Prop on I get is going to be a helix
Spewing i've got 2x 3blade E-props, might have to crash twice to get me a helix to try! LOL
Have you tried adapting a unicorn stick to the nvg mount using a 360 camera so its not a waste to have that mount?
Haha no I havent. I dont own a 360 cam
I got me a power 2 fly and speedster 2 wing. I don't use a helmet tho. But I do like that helmet you have looks cool I'd like one like that for my long ez airplane
Ahhhh here it is Mitch...Niiiiice
That shirt! Courage, Wisdom, Power. Nice. 🤓
My favorite game of all time

I've mixed tanks with 2 different oils without issues.
Hope all paramotors are 100% electric soon even if runtime is short. Do you ever fly a nano paratrike ?
I've never flown a trike. I'd switch to electric ppg IF they can build one that weighs less than 60lbs and can fly for 1.5 hours. Right now, battery technology doesnt allow for that to be possible
Powerpads help a ton with wobbles IME..where did u get yout mudguard? Nice edits🤙
Thanks. The wheel is stock. I do wanna get some pads for it
Hi there, just wondering what your views are on 4 stroke motors?
Keep safe🤘
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.
Hey Mitch, that Garmin app looks great - what’s the name of that? Is the emailing of your location part of that app?
The email is a function of the garmin watch anytime you start an activity. Flight fields is the name of the app or widget.
@@MitchG Awesome, thank you! Think I may have to get one of these watches.
Nice video Mitch, good job you have access to some good kit. Are you still wearing out those boots of yours? lol . I really liked my 4005 vario, very reliable.
Yeah, I'll wear those boots until the glue fails or I get a hole in them 😆
Great review. I've been wanting a watch for PPG and it looks like that Garmin Fenix is the way to go??
Yes!
Thanks for the video Mitch! What ratio are you running with the Amsoil? Just looked at their site and they're saying 100:1 for Saber.
50:1. I think 50:1 or 60:1 is ideal for the moster.
@@MitchG Thanks. I just spent a couple hours cleaning piston and head. Next oil purchase will be the Amsoil.
@@dnorthup65 yeah the Motul is dirty shit!
Great information, thanks!
Niveac Zion 15 meter kite wing can't find anywhare
Any 13, 14, 15m wing will work. Dudek makes a marlin mono that's a good trainer wing. Contact paradrenalin.com and tell them mitch g sent you.
Hi Mitch!!! I’m Rod’s daughter 😁
He just told me about your channel.
Hi, thanks for subscribing
I didn't have to pay for it, the taxpayer did but what's a few pennies each? LOL Do you have the oxygen mask with it? Can it use the same one as the mbu 55 helmet? Love that BC wheel too!
I dont have the oxy mask. I could get one though. Not worth freezing at high altitude to use it though 😆
This is one crazy setup! :D
What would you say this the best wing for speed and safety?
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
Pick your favorite wing in that class for the features it has like trimmers, brake toggles, quick bags and price.
@@MitchG Wow thank you for the quick reply ! this helps alot looking for a new wing!
Sweet helmet!
Clean NB
Nope those aren’t tuff boxes with FOB addess still taped on them.
Nope, not the only one that is still storing them for some unknown reason. Ha!
Take the NVG mount off :/ its only 7 screws
I prefer to live dangerously 😏
Helmet is more of a Darkwing Duck look
👌🪂👌
Let's get DANGEROUS?
Sweet headlamp idea! I won't use it to fly with though, that's illegal and stuff
😆😉 me either
Whats illegal abt it
@scott Julius shhhhhhhh
Lol yah what is the deal with paramotor and one wheel going together
Best way to get out to an LZ from the car with gear, mostly. I mean, it’s that, or walk. You can’t really use a bike or a skateboard with gear and over grass and bumps in the field. Also, launching from a OneWheel or EUC is a special kind of fun.
good stuff !
Looks like Darth Vader... Darth Vader is super cool! :D

"slash, general hooligan helmet"
And this is my crash helmet.??
Basically his lucky helmet
Free AKA: “Tactically Acquired” … OOHRAH
15 nibia Zion I'll buy it how much 800 a thousand text me back message me back how to make payment. LOL that was six months ago after you got rid of it by now
sold. sorry
@@MitchG can you recommend where I can buy one cheap or cheaper
@@ToddMPpg136 there's a mini wing marketplace on FB or if you want to buy new, send me a pm on FB.
Get a Onewheel ya nerd!
A one wheel is like an EUC with training wheels😆
My paramotor is not as chintsy and fragile
Hey bro. You seem like a sad person to be around. Is there anything I can help you with? Advice? Lessons?
@@MitchG i appreciate that you show compassion when I was making fun of you
Why does it even have netting if the netting can so easily touch the propeller and the netting can be cut and shreded so easily.
I don't mean any percived unfriendlieness, lets go flying!!!
@@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.
