Flying vicariously through your videos (especially this one) brings back wonderful memories. The two of you are a gift to the true spirit of flight. I wish I could do it again. My inspiration has been restored herein this fantastic video! Thank you both for the effort and special memory!
Hello from the Czech Republic ! Thank you for the beautiful video. This fall, my training will begin on a motor hang - glider and Im looking forward to it. I love the beautiful views from this machine. ❤
I have been not-so-patiently waiting for another vidio since you went vacationing. Thank you for another wonderfully crafted video experience. I still want to intrude on you both but just don't know exactly how or when. Some day.....
Wow…I wish you guys could receive an Emmy award for(LOL) the fantastic exciting video you produce. I wish one of the Phx news channels would do a segment on you two…..great videos with beautiful scenery….. Bill 2055 (ret)
Wow what a compliment! Thank you so much Bill! So happy to hear how much you appreciate our videos. We sure appreciate your wonderful comment! Hope to have more coming soon!
Hey Roger and Diane... That's another very good video! I love the beautiful guitar music that is included, also. All of the comments are so good, and worth reading, too!
These videos are very soothing to watch. The FlyCom helmets are the bomb...I have been Gyro training for the last couple of months and is highly recommended...I think I will try them with my Paramotor Trike.
Landing that tight behind an aircraft, take a descend path above and land after the touch-down point of the prior aircraft. You don't need that much roll-out and braking space. You could land easily on the last fifth of the runway if you needed to.
Thanks for the comment. The ideal is to land after their touchdown point where they quit producing lift. However, On this landing, I watched his touchdown point and also what he did before and after his touchdown. He was doing a touch and go. He flew flat for a distance before touchdown, touched down and quickly took off and flew flat along the runway for a most of the distance of the runway. Like i said in the video I don' t normally fly that flat of approach but given what i saw the other aircraft I was attempting to avoiding his wake turbulence completely. Most likely the wind blew the wake turbulence further than expected towards the end that i was landing on. I plan on doing a really good video on this topic. Some of the cirrus pilots out here will turn final while were on final and for sure they would catch up and overtake us. TH-cam has some great videos (tragic though) of showing a faster aircraft overtaking a slower aircraft on final. Neither aircraft see each other. One day at Buckeye I Observed a Cirrus take off right after a trike and had I not said something on the radio I believe they might have collided. The students are still figuring everything out. The trike pilot would have been hit and never known what happened. They haven't yet learned how much faster they are flying than the slower aircraft. At 120 MPH (i have seen them fly often faster than that in the pattern) it is 2 Miles per minute. Every landing is good to analyze and ask ourselves what would we do or not do again. I also said that more time between landings is the most ideal. 5 cirrus aircraft in the pattern is a bit of a challenge. The main thing i try to avoid is a long final. My back will be turned and the other aircraft will not see me. If you sit in a cirrus their view is very limited. I do not know if that was wake turbulence for sure. I suspect it was , but Buckeye is common for really strange winds even when no other aircraft are present. As stated in the video flat landings are not ideal. Time is ideal. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Always learning and looking for a better, smarter, safer way to do things.
@@rogerlarson8040 You have several good points there. Over all, I like your state of awareness. Thanks for replying. In such cases, I'm always glad about the strong side wind component. It blows the wake away. But, if I'm not mistaken, there is a dangerous strength of the side wind component of two knots that will keep one of the wakes on the runway. But as soon as the wind blows stronger than that, you can make a final descent and touchdown with confidence. Anyhow, as you are stating, the best and surest way to conduct the landing is to have a lot of time between the aircraft. If the weight classes are too different, in a bad composition of circumstances, even three minutes might not be sufficient.
Thank you! I'm using a Sony AX53. It has a built in gimble for stabilization. Though I often when filming during flying I need to add extra stabilization in Final Cut Pro. Sometimes adding a little slow mo with Optical Flow as well. When not flying in turbulence or on the ground, the stabilization is exceptional.
@@larsonadventures580 thanks For sharing. I will look into that unit for my activities. I appreciate it. You guys have fun and keep making those excellent videos!

Thanks. I didn’t know which movie till now. It is called Cancion Del Mariachi ...from the Movie Desperado with Antonio Banderas. Now I want to watch that movie. Think I saw it years ago.
So tell me something..... Is there One Best "Wing" that can carry more trikes/setups than others & that has more longevity? I'm also curious the best for gliding in the event of a power failure? I guess I'm asking for strength overall w/ gliding capabilities but I have no idea what all is out there that can be bought? I know these Trikes you are on are very high dollar so I'm just fishing w/o any knowledge about these? This is my learning guys..... thanks for being there. peace
Wings are actually designed with a purpose in mind. I have flown about 9 different types of wings. Some are designed to fly a bit faster, some slower, some with quicker control responses. Some are better in the wind but often there is some kind of trade off. For example you might have a wing that is has quicker control inputs but may not carry as much weight. So when thinking about wings you have to ask yourself what your particular mission will be. Double surface wings are faster speed but don't land in as short a distance and usually take a bit longer to put together. My particular mission is exploring, filming, sightseeing. I stay up often 2.5 to 3 hours or more at a time. My wing likes to fly about 60 miles an hour with the way I currently have it set up. I fly low and high and my wing does what I want it to do. If you want to know more about wings, I would call Kamron at North Wing or Larry Mednick with Evolution trikes. Kamron makes the wings and could tell you a bunch of info. I have a double surface, Rival X 14 meter wing. No wing does it all. Some are better at your particular desires than others. A ballistic parachute while flying over trees or mountains is the best insurance for an engine out or catastrophic wing failure. Thanks for your questions!
I appreciate all of what you've shared here & in all honesty I can not tell you what I'm even looking for in a wing because I've never flown ANY aircraft except for commercial travel. That said, as I lean to the Part 103 aircraft I see all of these different wings & I'm overwhelmed with data - an info-overload of sorts. And so far I'm just worried about buying any used aircraft for reasons that different wing materials become degraded over time & use. To be fair to anyone trying to respond to me, I think a wing in the middle ; a best for control, for structural longevity, and quality. I'm really like a blind person right now & I do thank you for even trying to field my question. Something in me wants a wing that can glide well just in case you lose power, something strong enough to not fold up on you if a hard wind hits you, and in the beginning something I can handle/maintain(fold up for transport)...... If I can find an entry spot & use that for a year then I'll better know what I think I'll want but for now ; ability to glide & to withstand medium strength winds and ease in handling the breakdown for travel or maintenance. I should have known my question was too vague for any real answer I telling me they are designed w/ a purpose in mind was a very kind way to phrase it. Thanks for being so kind, I really did not realize just how wide open of a question that I'd asked - not fair of me to ask but it just goes to show how uneducated I am here, but you & a few others have been kind enough to get me pointed. TY peace
It is great you are asking the questions prior to jumping into things. I personally like to make no move rather than a bad move. So a great approach to starting on your journey is just talking to, (typing) to as many people that you can and ask varied questions. Start by doing exactly what you're doing. Watch videos of the types of flying that interest you and see what those kinds of people fly. Along that path you develop ideas on just what you're looking for. I didn't not like flying Cessnas but the visibility is so poor in those kinds of aircraft. Prior to becoming a private pilot I also flew hang gliders and also Ultralights under part 103. I really loved the open cockpits better and so does Diane. So I wanted an open aircraft and also wanted something I could transport. I also wanted a two seater. After flying in trikes I really enjoyed the type of flying it offered. Nothing is perfect so get to know what you want and don't want. Much of my flying is over stuff that it doesn't matter how far I can glide I wouldn't make to a landable area. So for me a parachute is a necessary tool to increase my flying areas. The another thing to consider is how high you fly. If you're flying low it won't matter if you can glide very far or have a parachute if you have an engine out you will be coming to the earth rather quickly. So narrowing down your thoughts will be a process and I highly encourage to make even that process fun. Go to airshows, go hangout at airports, watch the vides and keep doing what you're doing. So good job on asking the questions! Find someone to do a discovery flight with also.
Thanks, you know exactly where I'm at right now. Without money to be wasting any I also know to Pay an Expert to look at any used aircraft. You mentioned not like the view from the Cessnas & I agree. I found a type of Pt103 that I kinda like ; Falcon..... small pusher configuration but the aircraft uses a "canard" wing. The Cozy / LongEZ's are the ones I liked for view out of the aircraft & I like the canard's ability to make a stall less likely. Like a hiccup it starts, bobs up, and then rights itself. There's a lot more going on & I oversimplified this but those aircraft got me to the Part 103 Falcon. You & Diane fly safe & you never know ~ I might fly into Oshkosh next year. LoL, maybe? Thanks & have a safe New Years

So wonderful to restore your inspiration. Thank you for the special memory too!
I'll be getting a powered flight soon. My hang gliding instructor has one.
As usual, I love me some Larson Adventure.
Great! Hope you love your flight!
Great job and beautiful music Diane. 🥰
Thanks so much Janet. Did you see our newest kitty in our last video "Adventures Galore"? He's quite a character! Great hearing from you!
Hello from the Czech Republic ! Thank you for the beautiful video. This fall, my training will begin on a motor hang - glider and Im looking forward to it. I love the beautiful views from this machine. ❤

Glad they are soothing. Ya they are great helmets! Thanks for watching!
Hello, I am from Egypt and I am very happy to join the spirit of the team and volunteer with you Greetings
Thank you. Hello to Egypt!
Where did you learn to make such amazing videos I love them
That’s really sweet. Thank you so much!
Que show de paisagens !!! Parabéns...que Deus os abençoe e os proteja sempre 😀🇧🇷

From what movie is the theme music? Nice…
Thanks. I didn’t know which movie till now. It is called Cancion Del Mariachi ...from the Movie Desperado with Antonio Banderas. Now I want to watch that movie. Think I saw it years ago.
Or at least there is a music video to it from the movie Desperado. Lol
Warmed up little last week I think we hit mid to upper 80's I would not be surprised to see some turbulent air.
This was actually filmed in October when we were having temps in the 90's brings great turbulent air. lol
You can put matt finish screen protector for your ipad to avoid reflection and glare. U use it for my phone for paramotor flying.
Thanks. Great to know

What if you had to land. How would you get back?
Hopefully we could take off again.. if not we could get a trailer and hopefully trailer it back
