Hi! I'm the guy that made the rc paraglider videos on Sebastian Merino's youtube channel. Thank you very much for mentioning us! I love your assembly, it flies very well!
You do realize now HK will be sold of these for months! Absolutely brilliant Tom! I’ve been putting off or asking myself why I need a 3D printer and this may finally be it. I’ve been wanting to build one of these for ages but like you couldn’t see the price on most. Thanks for your work, you take all the kinks out for all of us.
I'm still in awe at your tenacity. All those lines would be a nightmare. I can't untie my shoes without making a knot. Perhaps a prop cage would help. So I gotta make one suggestion. 3D print a rider and make his arms be the steering arms. Hope to see a follow up on this.
Hey so I had one of those. Mine was doing the same stall. It needed way more weight than I thought . I had about 1.5-2 lbs to get it to fly. It needs more weight to keep the huge wing tracking above it. Great model thanks for uploading
Back in the 80s I flew remote control and a friend of mine had a windbag which was cross between a paramotor and a micro light. Unfortunately they no longer make them. Great video. God bless
Good work Tom, It takes a while to tune a bridle for a kite and the torque compensation blade worked first time and the foil is maintaining it's shape really well so it's flying quick enough. You can steer with the left or right side bridle and not use the break lines.
Finally, the first video of custom made rc paramotor with that hk 1.95m parafoil actually working. Thanks for the tip on the torque compensator thing. My friend has been trying to get this off the ground for weeks and couldn't.
just found this video tom, you never cease to amaze, just one point on your launch, if you hold it on the bottom with the foil behind you, then power up the motor , the foil will inflate and end up in the flying position almost above your head , then launch it.
You've been coming up in my suggestions a lot recently so i decided to check out some of your videos, safe to say after binge watching about 50, I'm a fan! Great work man
@@jackass123455 that sounds lile a Stanton project. Make a minimum-solution of an aiming device and several aiming gimbals to turn every vid into a remote-initiated multi-camera setup.
I Velcro a key ring spy cam to my baseball cap, and record my flight. After a few try I got the hang of the angle I have to put the cam on. For most parts it works pretty.
Hey dude really cool video. I've been watching your videos for quite a while but never commented for some reason :) Been flying RC for about 15 years and paragliders for 4 years or so. Line lengths are critical to how a paraglider flies. I can see from your successful flight that even though it flies you need to lengthen your mid As as there is a big kink in the Bs. I know you said at the end that this is critical for the wing to fly so maybe the canopy isn't very well designed by hobbyking? I have a lot of paragliding videos on my channel but the "Servicing a paraglider" series might be useful to you on this. Also btw, I'm UK based so if you want to try groundhandling on a fullsized paraglider or even fly let me know, would be a good spring project colab :D yeah, the canopy pitching back when you put power on is normal.
Sorry for the random question but could a paraglider descend in a stable manner from a relatively high altitude if uncontrolled? Sort of like using the parasail as a parachute until the RC Craft falls below the legal altitude limit for RC Craft. I ask because i'm curious about if a paraglider setup could be used as a recovery method for a Weather Balloon Payload. Thanks!
yes would work as paragliders inflate and recover from collapses automatically if untouched. it would be potentially better for an application in which you want to control it to glide the payload to a specific place or direction. If you just want it to descend in a stable manner a round/square parachute would probably be better. Modern full-size paragliders get something around 10:1 glider ratio in still air so if uncontrolled it could end up very far away :)
Hey Andre! Thanks for the advice! I think the hobbyking wing has some flaws when in comes to the length of the lines, which is why so many people have had trouble with it. Just subscribed to you and will have a watch of your servicing videos. Whereabouts are you based in the UK? I've wanted to try a full size wing for a while, just haven't gotten round to it!
Tom I started out adding your videos to various playlists depending upon the content, but then I simply created a new playlist called Tom Stanton! Legend.
Congratulations! You sir, are my hero! I have a HobbyKing wing, tried powering it with a 2212 motor and never got it to work. Your video proves what I once thought was impossible - that HK wing can actually fly. Thanks for sharing the secrets of your success with us. I just might try to get mine working again or simply admire your video and enjoy seeing it fly.
Well done sir! Great thought process, and execution of ideas! It was cool to see you work through the whole process. It would be fun if there was a small man sitting like a real man in the chair.
Brilliant!!! Thanks to you, I decided that this will be my first 3D project for my new printer. I'm using a 2.5m parafoil, so I may need to incorporate a little pilot for added weight! Wish me luck, Cheers!
nice to see some one els trying a hk wing the biggest fold of the wing is are b and C lines being to close together creating a dip in the wing visible at the top when kiting the wing it's not a easy project try a few different setups even a EDF and a twin motors to counterbalance the torque look up rc AIR adventures have a lot of good vids how to build setup and launce a rc paramotor
Remarkable job of overcoming the steep learning curve, and absolutely brilliant cure for the initial stalling issue! I'm new to your TH-cam page, but am certainly a fan. I don't know, but a 3-D printer purchase may be in my near future, particularly with winter coming on! Thanks so much for your stellar videos!
I used to fly a two man powered parachute with a 65HP rotax engine and a 65" tri-blade prop. The web straps are much longer so the chute cords are farther from the prop. Never had to lean. Could be the chute steering lines were tuned to compensate. Also had a gearbox between the prop and engine so they might have been cancelling. Not sure. The full size ones only go 30 mph and can't be flown in a wind much over 10 mph. Makes for a very fun ride. Nice job.
Lets see a 3d printed rc gyrocopter. Seems a nice challenge and would be interesting to hear your thoughts on flight characteristics verses rc helicopters.
in 1980 I constructed my own full size Gt racing car .. and won the Donnington Gt championship with two remaining races to spare .my problem solving was similar to your hands on approach.I have recently read Adrian Neweys F1 design book. I was already doing all of the problem solving he was starting to deal with without the aid of sophisticated aerodynamic support equipment he was able to enlist .Well done .
You could try to build a remote controlled camera pod that pans and tilts automatically and follows your desired object with some sort of receiver attached. Great projects btw - really admire your creativity and skills!
great job. adding a trike on the bottom with "lateral string guards" (rods that protrude from about 10:30 and 1:30 - referencing a clock) will catch the strings and "guard" them from the prop long enough to cut the throttle.
Just discovered your channel and I'm fascinated with your 3D printed Paraglider. You did an amazing job, cleverly thought out and glad you didn't give up on it. Be nice to see a MKII version with perhaps a GoPro fitted 👍
You should get with Tucker Gott if you're ever in the States and see if you can go up on a tandem fly! I'm sure he'd LOVE to see the RC Paramotor, too...
You legend Tom, I have had two of those parachutes in my cupboard for two years to do just this but I am just too lazy! Well done. Fantastic. Now make it a bit bigger for a flight controller!
Use counter-rotating propellers. It cancels out the torque, increases thrust, and you can steer by changing the motor balance. The weight reduction from the servos offsets the heavier motor
Nice work. Pretty cool torque solution. Back in the 90s I helped developer a 1/4 scale paraglider called the para dude. I'm not familiar with the HK wing but I can speculate that it would work better with the lines and risers at the stock length. We went through a bunch experiments with line lengths to solve all sorts of handling issues with the para dude. In the end the fix was to go back to normal riser and line lengths and 3 lbs of lead to the pilot (for 6 lbs total of ballast). If you're still in the experimenting mood I would recommend trying normal riser and line lengths an start adding weight. You can visibly see that the wing is deformed and at a very low AOA. this is working to mask the root cause that the pilot doesn't weigh enough and therefore swings too far forward when thrust is applied. Hanging a significant amount of weight will fix this and also would have minimized the effects of prop torque.
One experiment you could run to get a ballpark weight is to hang the motor from strings (same length as the wing to motor length) in a doorway. Run it at full throttle and add weight until the angle that it rests at full throttle is more similar to the angles you can witness full scale paramotors in videos climbing at full power. This assumes you've selected the appropriate power setup but it's a good start.
I have an evaluation I do before I subscribe. I watch the oldest video on someone’s channel (to see whether they keep doing the same type of content), then their newest video, then four more of theirs that come up on the suggestions. You passed the test with flying (lol) colors.
Very tempted to make one! I tried making one with a cheap power kite I got on ebay back in the day. The lines on that were crap too and it never flew as either a kite or paramotor. I may well dig it back out, last time I tried using an EDF but I think the more conventional approach this time with a big brick of LiOn 18650's I have. Also I might try and make some landing skids.
yeap....flown every thing r/c. I wanna try this. Totally cool solving the torque issues. That's the best flight demo Ive seen on TH-cam You can get 54 cm parafoil kites on E bay...for under $10. There's different size you can get (bigger)
Great vid, great build ;) Ps: i'm no expert but i think that there is not enough air that can get through the "channels" compared to the speed that the blade is trying to "push it" if that makes sense, so even if the brakes are fully released the wing still brakes/slows down too much. It does make it more safe though because it can't go that fast.
Really enjoy your innovation with 3D printing and R/C. That said, after watching you struggle with launching this wing and the compressed air engine plane, I strongly suggest you get a neck strap for your transmitter! =)
THANKS TOM AND CONGRATS ON YOUR WIN, YOUR VIDS ARE REALLY GREAT AND YOUR WORKBENCH WRAP UP AND ANALYSIS ARE SOOO INTERESTING TO WATCH.LOVE YOUR VID FORMAT AND STYLE.HOPE TO SEE A LOT MORE INTERESTING PROJECTS IN THE FUTURE.........WHHHOOOOOO BLOODY RAY FOR 3D PRINTERS!!!
Excellent video, Tom! I have had one of these for several years, but never got around to flying it. The chances of success are now much larger! Would be interesting to see if it can slope soar, with a puppet as pilot!Regards,Matthew
Great work Tom lovely video am commenting watching it half way, Tom I feel you are starting the moters much late, starting the moters at launch could surely have helped, my apologies if am wrong, but great effort, the torque cancellation worked out just beautiful it was so nice to see that para moter fly so well Tom, God bless you love respect and warm regards from India..👍👍

very cool, and it shows how the wing really is trailing, something you hear/are told but never see so drastic.

putting a camera on a baseball cap or your transmitter itself makes shooting a vid a lot easier :D
Thought of that too, but he probably has a tripod for a reason.
I mean zoomed all the way in, the camera shake would be way too annoying without it.
hhmm the video quality makes me think that this is a bigger camera than a gopro or something.. probably wouldn't fit on a cap, and be too heavy :p
they make these wonderfull things called GYMBALS. some of them even have fancy self tracking abilities
@@jackass123455 that sounds lile a Stanton project. Make a minimum-solution of an aiming device and several aiming gimbals to turn every vid into a remote-initiated multi-camera setup.
I Velcro a key ring spy cam to my baseball cap, and record my flight. After a few try I got the hang of the angle I have to put the cam on. For most parts it works pretty.
I emagine this would fly more efficiently on a warm summers day with the natural uplift of thermal energy.
Yep that’s how real pilots get lift it’s a technique used among many pilots
yeah but can you make it air-powered?

Great work! you should build a rig for the camera on a bike helmet and an aiming point in front of your eye so you can properly track.
Nice cat in the background
I'd liked all your videos I have seen for the brilliance of your mind and and creativity
Well done and it flew great. May i suggest printing a mount to hold your camera to a headstrap or helmet. So it's always recording at your view.
ahh yess the beautiful scenery
the nice whether
the open area
and the mosquito flying with a parachute
Very smart to put your stl files on your patreon that's fair. You'll have a new patron soon.

Haha get out and fly em ;) Thanks Gary
I leave this under every video I watched, it helps the algorithm..
Fantastic work, man! Just amazing!
Thanks man!
agreed! unequivocally true!!
Use counter-rotating propellers. It cancels out the torque, increases thrust, and you can steer by changing the motor balance. The weight reduction from the servos offsets the heavier motor
the camera behaviour is like the san andreas cinematic mode
Well done Tom...determination pays off..
two contra rotating blades will not only cancel the torque but it might be more efficient, nice work
Good for you my friend for it makes me happy to see you happy in your endeavors . 👍
One thing with your launch. Sometimes it look like you pull with all your might to get up the wing, towards the end you got it I believe
Nice work. Pretty cool torque solution. Back in the 90s I helped developer a 1/4 scale paraglider called the para dude. I'm not familiar with the HK wing but I can speculate that it would work better with the lines and risers at the stock length.
