    The most important part of training besides learning how to actually flying, are understanding basic airspace laws/ FAR 103, and truly understanding basic weather science so you don’t find yourself in a bad situation. 😉🤙

      @@ChuckyWright I agree. You've got what I think you'd get from a basic training course minus the aeronautical stuff... I'd go for an SIV course now and get some emergency situational awareness so you don't freak out while in a twist or something like that. You may not think you would but some people go into a shock state in an emergency and its just good practice for unusual situations. Nice flying BTW.

      @@ChuckyWright you can, yes. Should you? Not unless you have 3 things: 1) a clutched motor 2) a prop strap and 3) a safe start system. If your gear doesn't have these, then ground starting is just asking for trouble. Ask anyone who said, "Sure, you can ground start if you know what yer doing!" and then they end up chopping themselves up because maybe they overprimed a bit and the engine revs up and turns the motor into a blender. They'll tell you it was the dumbest mistake they've ever made. FB forums are FULL of people that think ground starting is OK - only to learn the hard way. It's just a really, really bad idea.

    I gave a thumbs up because... 1. I am not a hater, and 2. I enjoyed the video. now having said that, I have a true passion to do exactly what you are doing. Flying a para motor for me is much more than an interest. it is a celebration of life and living my dream after beating cancer.there are no words to express my passion and devotion to achieve this goal. My passion and dream, led me to find any way to do this with gear I could afford (with a lifetime payment plan for medical bills). I Thank god daily for his blessings, and my recovery. I also thank god, l have done research and though a tough pill to swallow realize if I can not afford proper training and gear, then that celebration, and passion could be short lived. Please sir tread lightly in persuading others like myself to follow their passion blindly. If I saw this video a couple of years ago, either I would be making my videos of self taught, or I would have become a statistic. Though I want to live, passing doing something you love is acceptable with me. Just sharing so you understand the impact you may have. I pray you continue to stay safe and enjoy sir.

      It's always possible to teach yourself most things! Remember this though, the survivors of such are here to tell you how easy it is. The rest are either not here or they are incapacitated or ashamed. Lessons from a good sensible instructor will multiply your chances of success and safety by MANY times. The cost of failure in flight can be life altering and more expensive than anything. Also I can only assume there are reserve chutes available, have one of those too.

    I realize that this is older so you may not see it, but I have a question. When you lay the wing out and it isn't yet connected to the frame/harness, what prevents the wing from just taking off like a kite on a very windy day? Thank you Bro.

    • @ChuckyWright
      @ChuckyWright  ปีที่แล้ว

      it would have to be a very windy fay for that to happen most of the time it will just lay there!

      I’m fine thanks. No, I don’t think I’d have the guts to do it, plus my wife wouldn’t let me do it anyway. 😀. It’s interesting to watch though. What kind of heights do you get to? Is there never a chance of the sail collapsing in on itself? Do you ever have a hard landing? So many questions. Anyway, stay safe and good flying !

    That's an insane place to ply, with these views. I imagine it must have felt amazing with a cold moist breeze when flying in that hot sun. I'm sort of envious, but a paramotor would take a year of saving up all my earnings and I'm to mentally weak to do it :D Still GG to you for learning yourself!
