The future of minimal sport aviation is electric. I hope the guys at Vittorazi are paying attention. When flight time gets to 90 minutes we can say byebye to two strokers.
Better yet, stay over the water not too far from shore just in case - fly straight at cruising speed, trims to neutral, during a Sunset using an EN-A/DGAC entry level wing of course. It would better reflect your title and I am sure, would be awesome to watch. Good luck!
I think flying in ridge lift or thermals isn't a good way to test flight time or distance as that could be done without a motor. So its not really testing the "motor". If you could do the same test on a smooth evening with no thermals or ridge lift that would be a useful test people could extrapolate from. Looks fun and cool vid.
There was no thermic lift on the beach/water and very minimal ridge lift on some buildings but the goal was to test it in “normal” flying conditions. I also circled some manatees for a while too. But I’ll do another test on a big wing flying straight one day.
cool video. However.... Dude, you need to level the music vs the talking on the video.. holy hell... i had to have my mouse on the volume the whole video. sucks......

I thought I was cool on my electric unicycle, you’re actually flying!!! Amazing !🤩 Great video subbed (and also may get into the hobby now)
Impressive! Thanks for sharing.

So Tucker got the wrong ePPG? :)

This laminar wind creates more uplift than flying in country so yes get the eppg out to more test pilots.
@@jannike1015 Ha ha! Oh that was the goal lol. Good one!
Hey Marshall have you tried running the motor at 100% throttle until the battery goes to empty? does the motor/esc/battery overheat??
55 Mph must have had a tail wind, good speed ! Weight of battery ? Nice test
And now make some tests in a weaker conditions and away from the coast. We don't want all that lift from a coast ;).
Yes electric silent and less heavy and less noise and it's fun
This setup is much heavier than SP140 V2.0 ICE Paramotor
how much is this thing in Europe? want to switch to ePPG from regular 2 stroke.
How much does it weigh with the small battery?
How much does it cost (can’t find online) and is it’s battery and charger compatible with American outlets ?
Marshall, this might be all right at regular speed too.
How much was the paramotor?
What’s the cost of the entire setup?
10k
cool video. However.... Dude, you need to level the music vs the talking on the video.. holy hell... i had to have my mouse on the volume the whole video. sucks......
What is the price?
So what is the consequence of setting down in salt water with it? Usually, Teslas just catch fire.
Obviusly you get electrocuted
Please don't believe everything you read or see online my friend... batteries are sealed in both EV paramotors and cars.
