Take the Ali Express motor and fan and make a sick desert offroad trike powered by the ali express butt fan. Like a Florida Everglade fan boat, but for the AZ desert!
You have utilized that thing to the max & thank you for having shared all of those fun outings. It has probably earned itself a trophy location on your garage wall, clean it up, hang it for later on - much! String some LED lights on it, she's done well by you!
I’m with the people saying to make it into an RC paramotor, but with a twist.. no actual RC control.. Just strap in some sandbags and turn it towards the open desert. “If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If not, it was never meant to be.”
hey tucker i met one of your friends dan i love what you doing by bringing people into this small sport you inspired me into joining the sport so thank you
Give it away but like a treasure hunt. Hide it somewhere in the US, give the 1st clue public and give next clue(s) to those who figure out the previous one. First to find gets to keep it.
You ought to take the cheap motor to a good saw shop and see if they could port the intake for better power. With a good exhaust, it should pick up some power.
There is already a guy on YT that has made an exhaust for it. Big pickup in power. Not sure if he would make another. Edit: Now that I think of it I think he brought it pre made.
The little paramotor that could returns! At a loss for anything else that could be done with it though. Maybe some strength testing like when you showed the Moster could push the F-250, just how heavy an object can this one move? I mentioned the Moster video just the other day when showing off my setup to someone local. Hoping to get the first home flight in soon on it if the weather cooperates this weekend. Typical weather, gets bad as soon as you have everything ready to go.
Just took a discovery flight this past weekend to be sure I was going to be comfortable before investing in training and equipment and we actually took off from this spot, shame I didn't see you since you are the one who got me interested in PPG. Maybe one day after I am trained up I will see you out there.
Cool to see it out again. Idea. A few years ago Russ Bateman built a small parameter with, i think a 120CC RC motor for his 12 year old son Dallin. There are some videos and I saw them at Salton Sea around then, 2015. Can't post a picture here. It would be good for training a small person if you are willing to deal with liability issues. The other idea, when you are done, just sell the motor to someone in RC and destroy the frame. It has been fun.
god damn, i thought he looked familiar. I watched this guy fly above the sky when he was much younger, had longer hair and wore his caps backwards. Crazy to see him grow up like that
What would happen if you mixed hydrogen peroxide with the 2-stroke gasoline? I can't guess at the ratio but would any amount of hydrogen peroxide do anything?
I fly large scale rc planes and use DLE motors in a few of my planes, I do 3d type flying and is hard on them, They are good reliable engines for the money.
I'm a truck driver and was actually thinking about getting that paramotor so i could bring it with me in the cab but then trevor talked me into getting the pap tionox lol. I'm kinda glad because it has more power and that ali express motor does seem VERY loud and annoying
Convert it to a land boat fan motor and head out on some desert flats. Or convert to one of those long shaft powerboat engines they use in Asia and cruise on some lake or rivers
Idea: Collab with Peter Sripol and make it into an RC paramotor and have him FPV drone style with you doing more and more risky maneuvers ending in an epic RC crash at the end
In the original video on this, someone commented that there were some legit upgrades available for this engine that made it run better. Maybe you could investigate those and see how much you can improve the performance.
I would try to make improvements to the motor to see if you can get it to a point where its more useable for flying. Carbon prop, tuned exhaust, jetting, port job etc. might as well work it into a fun cheap project. How good can you make an aliexpress paramotor?
I want to see you take off with that paramotor using roller blades :) I think it would be hard to get the wing up initially unless you can reverse then roll into the air :)
I've been thinking about getting some type of small propellor powered airboat/ice sled. I have a fishing shack on a lake in Minnesota that is only accessible by water. There are periods in the fall and spring where it is dangerous to cross the ice. An airboat/ice sled is one of the few ways to cross thin ice with much safely. (The other is a canoe with a pitchfork to push yourself over the ice.) This motor or the bigger one might be a way to do it at lower cost than using one of the reduction gear and prop kits that use 20HP 4 stroke, air-cooled engines. Is there any way to estimate how many pounds of static thrust that paramotor can deliver?
I would fly it! Of course it probably couldn't lift my 62Kg body with a suit of armor on and a steel full face helmet with chainmail gloves and three parachutes, but the thought is there.
@TuckerGott my understanding is the owner passed away and the people running the site are liquidating everything. With that said you can buy an HPR 185 from Vortex Aero with a prop and throttle for under $2000 shipped. That was my plan until I saw the Moster sale, of course they are now sold out. You can also get the HE motors for a bit over 2 grand and they're supposed to be pretty solid.
Buy a largeish used RC plane, get it flying withyour motor, and make flying content with it. Once it's been crashed beyond repair, give the moter to someone into large-scale RC. Sell the frame and harness to a bar with odd knick-knacks to put up on their wall or hang from the ceiling.
Durability test!
I was thinking Whistlin Diesel style. 🤓
@@TuckerGott You read my mind!
oh yes plz do!!
@@TuckerGott Do a full-throttle climb to the legal altitude limit or until it blows, whichever comes first.
@@TuckerGott Tell me it is lie

This! Hahaha 🤣 I wanna see that
Collab with sripole to make a large scale RC Paramotor 😂
Funny I just posted the same thing before I read this comment
Was about to suggest this before I saw this post! It would likely need to be a trike tho. Launching would be dangerous otherwise. Let's see it!
@@pahtcub Double funny, I was thinking how that would be a cool idea, before seeing your comment. It is intended for RC after all :-)
Gotta be this one
Sitting up here in Flagstaff, watching the snow when all of a sudden, I can watch you in the warm desert having fun.
Gotta love AZ!!!
While Tesla made a robot this dude is just casually flying around with a big fan 😂😂😂
You have utilized that thing to the max & thank you for having shared all of those fun outings. It has probably earned itself a trophy location on your garage wall, clean it up, hang it for later on - much! String some LED lights on it, she's done well by you!
Dude!! I forgot about that E-start!! Funny how unpowered she is but still flys!!! Cool to see it out again! Epic video man like always!
Climb out to the max altitude you can with your best sink rate wing and try to get the best sled run ever! Thanks for posting.

He’s too attached lol. Jk.
I’m waiting for a powered wing suit! Thanks for a great video:)
Just love the sound of this paramotor, great to hear it again, great vid 👍

Bros the real Superman flying whenever he likes
Can't wait the 4-stroke videos
Same.
Youre an amazing person Tucker

Turn it into an RC paramotor rig?
I had this thought as well. 🤔

Achievement unlocked: On a Wing and a Prayer
It would make a nice outdoor patio fan! Little noisy but wear earplugs! At least it got you in the air.
Nice work! Great video! Nice to see you enjoying life🇺🇸😊✅👍🏻
Run it on nitromethane! Gotta richen up the mixture, a LOT, but you'll get a lot more power... until it blows up.
This is the funnest answer yet.
What would happen if you mixed hydrogen peroxide with the 2-stroke gasoline? I can't guess at the ratio but would any amount of hydrogen peroxide do anything?
@@EdwardMcClung Without a catalyst to separate it into hydrogen and oxygen, I'm not sure anything would happen.
I fly large scale rc planes and use DLE motors in a few of my planes, I do 3d type flying and is hard on them, They are good reliable engines for the money.
10:20 I think it's not safe, because if the propeller breaks, the fuel tank will get damaged, and it could lead to a fire.
Take off and land with skis on?
I'm a truck driver and was actually thinking about getting that paramotor so i could bring it with me in the cab but then trevor talked me into getting the pap tionox lol. I'm kinda glad because it has more power and that ali express motor does seem VERY loud and annoying
Risky biscuits are the best, 😂
Yee haa! Looks like Eloy Az. ?
Maybe do an advanced launching skills video with this paramotor. I bet it's one of the hardest setups to launch.
Hook it up to a wheeled sled & take it to the salt flats - do some land speed testing ;)
Flying my Power2Fly Cronus currently here in the UK and its freezing! ✌🏻🇬🇧
Base jump and fly back up to go round again.
Another idea is to make a giant scale RC paramotor with it. Make a chickenwire Tucker lookalike to sit in.
2:42 LIGHTWEIGHT
Glad these 60% tariffs are coming it will keep Tucker alive longer.
Convert it to a land boat fan motor and head out on some desert flats. Or convert to one of those long shaft powerboat engines they use in Asia and cruise on some lake or rivers
Smart man. No mention of an Ali Express glider. Made with shoe laces and moving tarps😁
I wish they had one! I would definitely try it.
I thought I had an original idea, until I read other comments. It would be a great rc paramotor. 👍
When you starve of two stroke engine of fuel, you also starve the engine of lubrication. That's a good way to seize the engine.
Idea: Collab with Peter Sripol and make it into an RC paramotor and have him FPV drone style with you doing more and more risky maneuvers ending in an epic RC crash at the end
Bro I found you lol, I live out in magma ranch and see yall flying out the time crazy !!
I'm assuming you out by skyline ranch based on the story
Can you take it and cruise down the salt warmer in a kayak?
skis power by the paramotor?
Compare the noise decibel on that motor to other things. Start with a blender and move your way up from there.
Put it on a trike! Build your own or use a super light one like the Foxy.
mount it on a slim long boat with a long shaft and a propeller, watercool it.
Fly it to max altitude and see how long it takes or if it even survives to that height. I got a feeling full throttle for that long would blow it up.
In the original video on this, someone commented that there were some legit upgrades available for this engine that made it run better. Maybe you could investigate those and see how much you can improve the performance.
The biggest thing was the prop and exhaust. I already have an aftermarket exhaust and they stopped making the tuned exhausts.
I would try to make improvements to the motor to see if you can get it to a point where its more useable for flying. Carbon prop, tuned exhaust, jetting, port job etc. might as well work it into a fun cheap project. How good can you make an aliexpress paramotor?
How was that big Mac?
My vote..... Mount it solid to a go-kart frame and see what it can do
I would say to make an air boat out of it, which would be really cool, except you don't have any water in the desert.
Would this be a good motor for a starting enthusiast?
That sound!! Whooo. That alone makes this hilarious! Do you have to run a special fuel in that thing?
Cross country flight back to Jersey and see how long it takes to blow up or if you will make it
What ever happened to the guy with the electric edf paramotor you flew?
IS BACK!!!!
Firework show? Eating a charcuterie board mid flight? Whatever works! 😂
7:24 same situation 😅
Size wise it looks to be for a 12 year old. I'm impressed with what it can achieve.
You could see if you can get it up to 10,000 feet.

Start a museum and a history of paramotoring. I would donate.
Air kayak 💯
Uh oh :D The throwback to the Ali!
You should do like a "Going to a wedding" on a paramotor, with the suit yould be so epic hahah, greetings from Barcelona, Spain
Propeller seems thin...like spinning a toothpick to grab air. Would a thicker, carbon fiber prop grab more air and give you more speed/lift?
I miss seeing green grass, trees and flying friends in tuckers videos 🥲
Restaurants visit somewhere in AZ.....PLEASE!
Looks like you were right off of Hunt highway
sketchy quality motors are a lot safer than sketchy source and quality wings. you can always float down safely with a good wing.
Unless the sketchy motor explodes and sets fire to your wing 😅😂
Tucker Goat
Great job man
Moster 185 EFI - Vittorazi good
How about using it as an airboat engine in LA if you ever visit Matt Minyard?
make a small hovercraft with it
I recall you mentioned in a past video you were going to test a 4-stroke paramotor.
Yup. Still waiting for it to arrive.
How about turn it into an RC paramotor? See if you can do a flight unmanned.
get a giant lifty wing and see how high you can get on it till out of gas.
It looks like you didn't use a reserve chute when flying that thing. I would have!
Why not fit a redrive on it and a 3 blade prop that still fits the frame.
I would fly it! Of course it probably couldn't lift my 62Kg body with a suit of armor on and a steel full face helmet with chainmail gloves and three parachutes, but the thought is there.
Have you got any plans to try an actual minimot?
No plans.
Hey Tucker. See if you can get the Ali Express Beast up to 10000ft
Make a buggy with that propeller…I would trust it in the air….
Use it on a swamp boat!
A giant cotton ball wouldn't be the worst thing to crash into.
Definitely need to make it into a giant remote control para motor
Yo I have a question why don’t people use 3 props instead of just 2
8:50 Why is it silly that it starves of fuel when you pinch the fuel line? It can't very well keep going if you've closed off its fuel supply...
It's the fact that it does it so fast. A regular motor probably has a bigger carburetor and fuel bowl, so it will run longer after pinching the line.
I bought a brand new Moster from Glidersports for $1750 and a new kangook frame on ebay for $1100. With harness, prop, and throttle, im under $3750 😊
Is that a going out of business sale? Because $1750 is way below retail.

Tucker Gott. Sounds like flying tandem with a Moster 185
fit nitrous. try power loop.
smoke kit>LEDs>disco ball>flag underneath.
et voila its a partymotor
Do a long distance journey with the aliexpress paramotor, like in the Icarus race.
Buy a largeish used RC plane, get it flying withyour motor, and make flying content with it. Once it's been crashed beyond repair, give the moter to someone into large-scale RC. Sell the frame and harness to a bar with odd knick-knacks to put up on their wall or hang from the ceiling.
