Guys I have say nice work. This is the second video I watch from you guys and I have to admit you have the best tutorial videos I’ve seen. I do appreciate other bloggers but your material is educative and complete without dragging on. I would certainly not recommend self training but for those who have received training, it’s reviewing what you’ve learned plus learning new tips and tricks in just a few minutes without ever leaving any questions unanswered. Awesome really guys great work. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback
Thank you Alex. From training I used method 1, but these days prefer method 3 - airflow over the wing, come off the power, inflate, check, power, take-off.
Great tutorial with detailed video clips. Useful & helpful for beginners like me. Thanks for sharing & do make more like these. Maybe show more repeat video examples so they can be observed by the student who is trying to get his head around these steps. Keep up the good work. Cheers
I'm really interested in this sport, it looks unreal and I would love to do the full training next summer, seen the other videos on here and your website! Please keep doing what you're doing guys! Amazing!
3rd method is the method I use in all powered fwd launches. Works great for nil wind to 5-7 mph winds. It's the quickest way to get the wing up over your head for shortest takeoff runs. Nothing is faster. I recommend blasting air back with 5500 rpm moster 185 for a 3-4 second count hold. Cut throttle to idle while immediately pushing fwd to inflate wing and bring it up. The wing should come up perfectly symmetrical stable and quickly so be quick to check the surge with a bit of brake jab. When you jab brakes to stop surge sync that timing with full throttle and lean back. You will be up and airborne in less than 20 feet depending on headwind.
Option 3 is my preferred method! :)
Love to forward launch. For a larger pilot you shouldn't have to think about doing a reverse
Great explanation Lounge video thank you guys
Great videos, as always!!
I’d like to write something but everyone has pretty much said it. Great video.
Rob in a suit and tie! Almost worth the subscription on its own :)
Once again very informative, great work Skyschool, that Alex seems to know a thing or two 😳
Love Rob at the end lol😆😆
Catapault to hybrid for my skinny ass on nill wind days. Not a fan of using ANY power, until the slack is out of the lines on run up. Power forwards just smack the shit out of my cage and back, not for me..Thanks for the vid!
Very useful. Dear Boss warm regards. I am from India. Can u please tell weight of this motor with fuel or battery. Because I flew with 37 kgs heavy motor and wing was over size which required lot of stemina. No single pilot could pull it.
So nice .
Thanks for an informative video. Do you recommend using those suspension line holders on each side of the cage? I use them on my Trike but have been thinking about using them for foot launch. Thanks!
Bill Callahan we don’t recommend you use them for foot launch
@@SkySchool Thanks for the reply guys! I won't.
Olha o caju aee, boa!
Great tips, thank you. What is your opinion about Roadster 3? :)
spoon Great wing!
Also a big fan and proud owner of the Roadster3- good inflation, good rating for safety, but with the added benefit of speed for XC (trim range).
I'm getting training on the R3; love it.
at time 1:40, as you are running, does lines touching PPG FRAME? is this normal during forward launches? is it risky? is there a way to prevent them touching frame?
The cage is designed to keep the lines away from the prop.On this type of paramotor the lines can touch the cage however on others it does not. They should not ever touch the propellor unless the pilot makes a serious error.
Does the powered launch technique put extra strain on the glider fabric when it's coming overhead due to the flapping & popping from the engine thrust? (3:15) Meaning, is it bad for the glider to use this technique often?
No it doesn't but it does put extra strain on the cage
Just checked your website and no address is offered, why is that?
I ask as I’m looking for a course to get me going so need to learn of proximity etc
We operate in three different locations and you can find all location information on each separate page:

How many months can we use this glider..?
