Congrats. Those are the best mornings. Just imagine, most people are just sitting around drinking coffee and there you are…above the clouds. Awesome man!
@@MikeSparamotor, there was another commenter who said he was a friend of yours and asked some questions about my rig. The comment is gone now so please apologize to him if I was too slow to respond. I hope he is able to return to flying! 👍🏼
Hey Brent, Yeah I took my ball and went home, didn't think you were going to reply so I moved on. Let me start again, That is a big trike I was wondering what size motor and wing you have? how much does it weigh? you had no problem getting off the ground that's for sure. I have a flat top mounted on a trike I built, I love it, I've crashed it a few times and it's still tits. I do plan on flying until I die, done pissed enough of my life away and flying is so very special. Anyway I'd appreciate your input. If I don't hear from you within one hour I'll delete this message also. LOL not really. If I can contact you through email that would be cool.
@@David65702, my trike has a water-cooled, fuel-injected 250cc 4-stroke engine. The all up weight including fuel, reserve, and a few accessories (strobes, iPad, etc.) is right at 200lb. Then it’s just me (about 190lb) and the canopy added to that. I’ve forgotten the horsepower numbers but I never take off with much over 1/2 throttle. It will climb at over 500ft/min (measured with FlySkyHi). I hear you on the flying. I don’t have any plans of quitting! It’s been a real life changing activity!
Brent thanks for sharing that view of what our Creator designed. Peaceful! I have the LB 2 with a CorsAir Black Bull engine, but I am trading up to the LB 3 Bushdawg Quad with the HO Aero 1000.....Can't wait!
Morning. I enjoy your videos. I now own a Bush Dawg and wonder if I can get more information on the Strobe lights and mounting brackets. The opening covers on the cage. The 360 mount and the tablet mount. They are all great add-ons. What program do you use on your tablet? Thank you. Enjoy your flying!
@@cbdane Yeah I've never been there but that was my first guess when you mentioned N CA.. I have hot air balloon friends that have used that for launch as well. I'll have to come down there and try it some time. I'm out of Lincoln. thanks
@@Marto-id1xe, the speed is only 40-50km/h and the FAR103 ultralight rules limit the fuel volume to about 19 liters. With a burn rate of around 3 liters/h, this gives a practical range of around 200km depending on wind.
@@cbdane I started flying in 1975, have a pilot's license, and a few thousand hours scribbled in a pile of logbooks. I am also an A&P. What procedures do you have for engine or structural failure at a mile high? I once hit a buzzard at 11k' and never saw him until he hit my airplane. I was practicing stalls when it happened. slow flight.... Things can happen that are completely off your radar, so to speak. Good luck. There's still a chance to win the 2025 Darwin Award.
@@cdetrixhe, in case of an engine failure, I glide down at 9:1 and leisurely choose a landing spot. I plan in advance for an out landing at all times and know where that would be. In case of a canopy failure, I carry a reserve (installed on the paramotor) that will rescue me and the entire rig. Beyond that, I just choose to live (quote from Second Hand Lion)! 🙂
@@offshoretomorrow3346 I always try to choose something that reminds me of how I felt during the flight! I probably rewatch these videos more than everyone else combined!
Definitely always a concern. However, the glider is 55ft wide (17m) making it fairly visible. You’ll notice that I forgot to turn on my strobes until the end of this flight which was certainly a mistake under these conditions.
That’s one of the best paramotoring videos I’ve seen for years, no look at me look at me or showing off just what flying is supposed to be. Nice job

Thanks for the trip 🪂
Thanks for sharing! Ive got the low boy 3 awesome shots
Looked like fun.

Where? Lovely and thanks for sharing.
Thanks! This was taking off from New Jerusalem Airport in Tracy, CA.
@@cbdane Yeah I've never been there but that was my first guess when you mentioned N CA.. I have hot air balloon friends that have used that for launch as well. I'll have to come down there and try it some time. I'm out of Lincoln. thanks
Come to Australia and go to Burketown fly the morning glories in November you won’t be disappointed ❤❤❤❤
That sounds amazing!
Lovely
thank you!
You’re welcome!
Is that 1Q4 airport? I flew in and out of there before 2008. Pretty country... until it gets hot.
@@TenorDad, yes sir. 1Q4 - New Jerusalem.
Nice.
Can this thing go 400km and if yes how long would it take under normal circumstances

Is it cheap to buy
How to buy it
How much distance did you cover
Very small distance in this case. I mainly just circled above the airport for this flight. My longest flights are typically 100 miles (160km) or less.
How many hours do you have as a pilot? Do you have a license? just curious
@@cdetrixhe, around 60 hours. It’s a FAR 103 ultralight so no license or registration is required. Training is highly (highly) recommended, though.

First comment of millions - I win!!!
But im sure i beat you 😂😂😂😂
@@Rick_Cavallaro, where do I send your prize? 🙂
@@cbdane Go ahead and send it to the White house. I plan to go sort all this shit out.
@@Rick_Cavallaro, Rick in ‘24.
Nice video, Would have been a little nicer without the music.
Noted!
Keep your takeoffs and landings shit that way you always appreciate the good ones 😂😂
@@TonyLoechte, you’re right. Not my best.
Your using a gas powered wing in California?........ How dare you
@@JoeStevens-p2j, yes, I feel very blessed. 🙂
Beautiful video but the stupid music stole half of the pleasure. Why couldn't you just record the natural sound?
@@wassiswallylokhankin191, the other half of the pleasure was absolutely free; I stole nothing. 😅 No worries though, I do get what you’re saying.
I enjoyed the music!
@@offshoretomorrow3346 I always try to choose something that reminds me of how I felt during the flight! I probably rewatch these videos more than everyone else combined!
Wonder if a plane or helicopter will run into you ?
Bit scary
