    Thanks for providing the B line tip to keep the wing disabled in high winds I plan to add that to my bag of tricks.

    Well done . Covered a lot without self promoting . How refreshing !

    Tired of not flying due to strong gusty winds, I decided to review and practice my ground handling techniques. I have to agree with other comments posted, Straight to the point no nonsense instructional video for all pilots, whether beginning or used as a refresher. Much appreciated thanks.

    I like the B line tip at the end! The best advise in high winds is avoid using brakes. Body movement wing control is much better in that situation. Too much brakes in high winds will lift you off your feet! I learned the hard way!

    These are awesome refreshers for me. I finished my training just over a year ago but, due to a back injury, was unable to fly until recently. Jumping back into the sport, these videos are great review so I don't miss something I have forgotten over the last year. I just started kiting the wing again in practice before attempting flight. Safety first. The B-line tip for high winds was new to me. I trained on a dry lake bed in the high desert of Nevada where the winds were steady and moderate. I live in Florida where a gentile breeze can become a strong gust in seconds. Thanks for your videos!!

    Phenomenal! I am only just recently decidedly very interested in PPG. Watching your technique here is very informative. I'm not sure when I'll be able to afford to get into the sport with training first. This demystifies some of the technique that looks a bit magical when you don't understand it. Thank you for making this video!

  • @PJ_PARA
    @PJ_PARA 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The reverse launch: Grip, flip and clip! I'm about 3 to 4 days into my paramotor course. Always good to see stuff like this. You really have to fight your instincts when the lines are crossed for reverse launch. Left becomes right and vice versa!

    Dude, you are an awesome teacher! I just turned 50 and I have never had the chance to get into paramotor training/flying. I feel this is a turning point in my life. I need this in my life badly🪂 once I realize one of my many disruptive innovations I will be able to afford this life long dream. I even have an innovative idea worked out to improve safety and maximize enjoyment for the paramotor sport. I subscribed to your channel and will start binging your lessons👍 thanks for uploading them🙏

    One string snaps and it’s a catastrophic failure. No thanks. Always thought when seeing these things they looked kind of clownish. But in reality I know their fun.

    • @SkySchool
      @SkySchool  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s not actually the case. It takes multiple line failures to cause the wing to become unflyable. There are multiple lines and each have a breaking strain of up to 100kgs. The load is spread through the Trimmers first, each of which take up to a ton, so the chance of a catastrophic wing failure is in fact extremely low.
