My dad flew hang gliders for close to 40 years. June 24th 2018 he had a heart attack while flying at njoy field outside of Kankakee IL. Sadly he passed while flying. I still am in touch with the guys he flew with. They are like uncles to me. I will say that the hang gliding ultra light and para glider community is solid. I love watching these type of videos to remember my father. Good luck stay safe.
This is by far the best tandem setup. You fly it with the mentality of foot launch in terms of power, the wing is super dynamic and it’s incredibly comfortable. You just trade fuel burn for it all.
Oh man, I love that thing. I've always wanted a PPG Trike for being able to haul camping gear. As for the constant torque twist with that power plant & large prop I wonder if mounting the engine a couple of degrees off-center would counteract the torque effect & keep you flying straight?
I’d be really interested to know what the cross country capabilities of that trike are. Trimmed out, with maybe a bag and fuel bladder in the front seat I’d love to know the true speed of it.
"Hahahaha! That was more fun than I've had in a long time." 💪🏽😂 Tucker's Mom made my day this Thanksgiving. Hearing her laugh and seeing you two bond like that really inspired me and warmed my heart. I'd love to have fun with my family like that.
Wow TG, that new trike looks like an Indian or Harley Davidson from the front. Not just the fat wheels and fender, but the whole frame. Way effin cool!!!! And with that big engine it might could get my 6 foot 4 300 pound arse into the skies 😎
Hi Tucker, You took the words out of my mouth...Beast! That looks like a great trike. Have fun base jumping. I would never do it, but it's fun to watch. I have a friend, Tim Bernard who use to be one of the best/crazy...He does videos too (Frankenass). Take care, Be safe.
That's an awesome video of how that works!! I got light headed just watching the video!! That would scare the Hell out of me!! But the experience would definitely be on the basket list!!! Great video!!
Good video , nice flying machine for two persons its capabilities were brilliant, would love to know its forward cross country knots/ mph speed and fuel capabilities?
However it does have one draw back due to its inverted flight tanks… it won’t do a negative g push over…. Lol Just a little Top Gun humor. Great video Tucker!!
Tucker did you fly around pemberton nj yesterday oct 13 about 430 with couple others did you? Saw couple flying yesterday was wondering if it was you guys
I want one :O) I don't walk very well, and I think this is just the ticket. Tandem is grate, I can put my camping gear up front and do cross country. Were can I get one, were do I learn to fly it. Big Al , Draper Utah.
We may get you in a powered parachute yet! Frankly not much difference from this rig to my PPC. Just the way you control and the shape of the chute. ;) I’ve got a 503 for power.
Can you please give some more explanation on the tip steering sometime? How does it compare to just regular brakes? Why was it separate on this wing? Thanks.
Tucker I know this will not affect you directly but what will the National body of PPG do about the California ban on the purchase of small gas powered engines effect 2024. Are there plans to change fueling options of PPG's?
I'm still in the "Is PPG right for me?" stage...but I have a question for Tucker or any of you guys who consider yourselves knowledgable: Would you recommend one of these for a brand new pilot? Is there a big upside to learning foot launch first, then moving to a trike?
I Like that Trike seems sturdy enough to handle 250 lbs pilot plus passenger works for me , what would it cost ? I have 29 foot sky paraglider wing...beginner

Wow may he rest in peace to fly 40 years is a super succes 🙏
@Rape Victim if anyone ever deserved it, it was you
@PaPa Frampton Leaving this world is not the problem. Where you end up... is. Only 1 of 2 places to go.
@Rape Victim i hope you felt good after posting
@Rape Victim 😒 are you five years old?
That looks insane! Tuckers Mom, God Bless her! I love it when she appears in vids!
This is by far the best tandem setup. You fly it with the mentality of foot launch in terms of power, the wing is super dynamic and it’s incredibly comfortable. You just trade fuel burn for it all.
Sometimes you gotta burn some fuel to have some fun!!!
Absolutely agree. I felt so comfortable flying this setup.
@@TuckerGott maybe you should try another Icarus race with one
Is not flying tandem except for training, illegal?
smiles per gallon!!! lol
I really appreciate the relationship you enjoy with your Mum.
She is great!
@@NightmareFuelsYou She truly is because she had to tolerate all his shenanigans!🤣🤣🤣
I love that your mum gets to enjoy this with you sometimes. Awesome video as usual!
That's like a TACTICAL aircraft!!!😳 Maneuverability, Speed & a Great Forward Position for Your Paintball Gunner!!!😂😆🤣👍🏻
Do they make any protective covers for the Motor to protect from the weather elements?
Great video. Thanks. Now on to my favourite vids, Tucker on a road trip ! Looking forward to them.
Just to see you happy makes my day keep making videos and don't stop thank you for sharing your videos with me
Tucker, that mustache is GLORIOUS!!!
No. No it's not... 😂 Think 70s porn 'stache...
@@CS_247 you’re just jealous!!😂
Thank you very much. 🤘
@@TuckerGott That's what you were going for then... 😉
He's like a Flying discount Donut Operator :D
Hey Tucker, i want to see you fly a trike with light weight bird wings and sides. Basically a giant 🦢 bird shaped trike. It would look so awesome.
Oh man, I love that thing. I've always wanted a PPG Trike for being able to haul camping gear. As for the constant torque twist with that power plant & large prop I wonder if mounting the engine a couple of degrees off-center would counteract the torque effect & keep you flying straight?
Thats very interesting
Great Video!!! GOOD you Wright about the spec..cylinder..etc.
That beast looks like it should be owned by many. So much fun.
What his mustache?
Mom sounded very thrilled!! Well done Tucker
I’d be really interested to know what the cross country capabilities of that trike are. Trimmed out, with maybe a bag and fuel bladder in the front seat I’d love to know the true speed of it.

I'd love to have fun with my family like that.
Looks like you and Derek had a blast! Picking up my Eco2 next week!
Looks like fun. Personally, I like to fly something with a wing that doesn't collapse, lol. Happy flying and stay safe.
Wow TG, that new trike looks like an Indian or Harley Davidson from the front. Not just the fat wheels and fender, but the whole frame. Way effin cool!!!! And with that big engine it might could get my 6 foot 4 300 pound arse into the skies 😎
That thing sounds sick! Especially at idle, nothing like a 2 cycle twin.
You've got a great family! Bless you all! Happy Thanksgiving!
I see you have installed a lip warmer/bug filter too. Nice!!
This was really cool. Awesome to see you and mom have fun.
Thanks Tucker. Love the information you give us and your vibe. Keep winnin’
I used to watch your videos 3 years ago, now today one of your video got to a recommended page so I checked on your video, "Oh man you changed."
Hi Tucker,
You took the words out of my mouth...Beast!
That looks like a great trike.
Have fun base jumping. I would never do it, but it's fun to watch. I have a friend, Tim Bernard who use to be one of the best/crazy...He does videos too (Frankenass).
Take care,
Be safe.
That's an awesome video of how that works!! I got light headed just watching the video!! That would scare the Hell out of me!! But the experience would definitely be on the basket list!!! Great video!!
Nice! You need one for BASE jumping. Can you consider that thing a “Structure?”
I never even knew something like this existed, but here I am obsessed.
You and Derrick have inspired me to buy this trike haha. Now I just need to find a good training school in AZ!
my instructor does tandem on a similar setup with a rotax 503. He is so fast lol and takeoffs crosswind easy
Happy Flying! 😀
I think I saw a picture of that engine on your instagram and thought it was the 302 you were putting on bertha lol
I saw the semi truck jump short. Nice bruh. Way cool.
Good video , nice flying machine for two persons its capabilities were brilliant, would love to know its forward cross country knots/ mph speed and fuel capabilities?
Useful load? Range? Can you put bigger tires on it for backcountry (tall grass) landings?
Tucker is now turning into a dad I was wondering when that switch is to dad mode and we have found it boys
Man, get northern Arizona again. That was some beautiful scenery.
Is the engine rotax based? From memory the rotax 503 twin made about 50hp and was often used in light aviation.
It's a Russian clone of Rotax 503
Come fly out in Peyton, CO. Palmer Divide is a great place to fly around from what I hear.
That is so cool bro!!!!! Great video. I wish I had one of those!!!!
This is the first of the newer videos that I have watched, and I'm like who is this guy with the mustache...
That thing is a beast!! I’m right over in Pike Creek Delaware, come take me for a spin bro!! 😎 so dope…
Is the kill switch foot operated? I think having a foot throttle and brake is a great idea. He may as well put an electric starter on it.
However it does have one draw back due to its inverted flight tanks… it won’t do a negative g push over…. Lol
Just a little Top Gun humor.
Great video Tucker!!
super cool, how hard and time does it take to learn to fly one of these? I'd love to have one for back country hunting
Tucker did you fly around pemberton nj yesterday oct 13 about 430 with couple others did you? Saw couple flying yesterday was wondering if it was you guys
Tucker is in Idaho BASE jumping.
@@DBartWest alright, thanks
Derek colour matches his shoes to his Tucker hoodie... nice
I think it’s so kool you take your mom up bro I think that’s awesome love your work and if ya ever get down to tx man hit me up 🤙
Just awesome 😁
Love your videos, so inspiring ❤
I have a random question!... have you ever experienced carburettor icing?!
interesting
Good for mom, be careful!! Out there
Dude it sounds like a snowmobile
This is like an aeroplane. Sounds like a spitfire…….. wow 🤩
This looks like a great option for someone like myself who is 360lbs and 6foot3.. awsome video thanks tucker!!!!!
Now that’s nice. I like it. Thanks.
That looks like a GREAT time!!!!! As always, great vid!
That last landing… almost put the wing back in the trailer for him. LOL
What a machine!! Hey Tucker, did you give a break on the uncut channel? Cheers mate!
At 1:10 you can see the prop just 2" off the turf. That's too close when you consider frame flex, uneven ground, low air pressure in the tires, etc.
Wow your not kidding. I no longer want this.
DUDE!!! WTF!!! I soo want that trike, holy shit, it sounds just like A SLED!!! WHOAAAA!!!
Another Good show, thanks.
This is exactly what I want. My family is heeeeavy a ND I'm set of flying
I want one :O) I don't walk very well, and I think this is just the ticket. Tandem is grate, I can put my camping gear up front and do cross country. Were can I get one, were do I learn to fly it. Big Al , Draper Utah.
This is awesome love it love powered parachuting
Maybe with some winglets to get some lift at speed, you can gain back some of that fuel burn. Just a thought...
That’s awesome that your mom goes too!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do any of these machines use high compression 4 strokes with Fuel injection like a Honda or Kawasaki engines?
I loved your Moms laughter
That thing would push a swamp boat! Pretty awesome.
What a beautiful motor. I really like that one.
Where is a link to this trike so we can check it out?
It sounds just like a snowmobile!
Foot throttle and break? Flex wing trike fun. I miss flying flex wing.
That was a nice setup there.🙂👍
First time I seen you with your flavor saver
Thinking of attaching my Moster 185 to a trike setup since I have back issues. Anyone make the switch that can talk about the learning curve?
We may get you in a powered parachute yet! Frankly not much difference from this rig to my PPC. Just the way you control and the shape of the chute. ;)
I’ve got a 503 for power.
It's like the BMW of paramotors
If you loved this
You should really check out the xcitor trike
Extremely powerful machine
Hey Trucker, your consistent fan here from Kenya 🇰🇪...how would you deploy a reserve on a trike incase things gets in a fix?
grt knowing mom didn't have to run this time! Where was dad? jumping from a tractor-trailer dude? Risky Shit Bro, Love It!
Dad was there, he's just not too stoked on flying. 😂 The semi jump was insane!
Can you please give some more explanation on the tip steering sometime? How does it compare to just regular brakes? Why was it separate on this wing? Thanks.
Tucker I know this will not affect you directly but what will the National body of PPG do about the California ban on the purchase of small gas powered engines effect 2024. Are there plans to change fueling options of PPG's?
extend footrest on left side for better comfort. ;-)
I would like to see you riding that monster solo, must be an incredible climb rate !
I like 70's Disco Tucker.
That’s really cool!!! Does this trike have a backup parachute?
For trike what should be size and weight capacity of paraglider wing ? Please
I'm still in the "Is PPG right for me?" stage...but I have a question for Tucker or any of you guys who consider yourselves knowledgable:
Would you recommend one of these for a brand new pilot?
Is there a big upside to learning foot launch first, then moving to a trike?
"flawlessly out of the box" as they keep yanking that pullstart to get her going.
Tucker, do you know the width of the back wheels on the trike? Thank you.
Do they make the engines in 4 stroke and fuel injected yet?
These trikes are really getting advanced
All Electric version? And can I get a roll cage for maximum safety?
💯 bad ass..
I Like that Trike seems sturdy enough to handle 250 lbs pilot plus passenger works for me , what would it cost ? I have 29 foot sky paraglider wing...beginner
please man. the mustache is killin me
hey man... how much cost that trike??
can i order that thru you?.
Where is the link to that trike?
