Could it be possible that you have finally found a paramotor worthy of your skills Tucker? It was immediately noticeable how much more dynamic this one was. Here’s to many hours of shenanigans and great content!!!
I like the fact that on the Mav Max factory R, the fuel tank is held off the ground by the frame, where on the standard Mav it touches the ground. If you have a hard landing, your Tank can hit the deck. Good work Tucker!
I flew helicopters in the navy, and obviously fix wings. Yet never got the since of true flying I wanted until I got into hang gliding and back into rc fav flying. Paramotoring and diving in the Caribbean is my life plan
Darryl Moody (RIP) was doing 16m/2 paraglider wings at Ifafa on the South Coast of Natal back in the mid '90's. Only light weight pilots worthy on good winds up on the mountain applied. Good times back then..
I love your videos and your reviews. Im signed up for training at Orlando paramotor next month. Im so excited. Im really happy for you that you have all these companies giving you all this gear. However, I wish so bad I could find videos from someone exactly like you, who isn’t a dealer, who isn’t getting their gear for free, and who is truly completely unbiased.
Looking forward to seeing you pair this up with that moustache wing sometime 😉 That video when you were here in Utah a couple months ago testing that out (even though it wasn't technically for paramotor use) was one of my favorite videos of yours - watching that wing take off and haul ass like a jet. Pairing that wing with this punchier motor would be insane!
I know I’m overthinking it but the quick release fuel tank could instantly ruin your day if it pops off. I love my parajet though and my next setup will be the Mav max with the factory R also
hey I love you videos im the first to watch them all the time keep up the good work you inspired me to become a pilot thank you for your amazing content
I am serious when I ask are there any 300 lb paragliders and/or any ones with bad knees, too ? I am 54, 290 lbs and have a fake right knee. This looks like fun and I'm trying to fill my bucket list... - Mike
Holy crap! That climb rate was SWEEET!! Right on par with my buddy's 65 HP Rotax 582-powered PPC, visually it seems - maybe even steeper! He out-climbs me by at least DOUBLE the feet per minute. When we're launching out of our local airport that sits in a valley, he'll fly beside me for a while as I'm climbing out full-bore, then just stab the throttle and he's GONE, like a pair of JATO packs just fired off, HAHAHAHA! Makes mine feel like a gutless slug, lol. That billet crankcase is friggin GORGEOUS!! And that SOUND!! Man, that brings me right back to the late 80's & early 90's - sounds EXACTLY like a built 250cc motocross bike! Anytime I heard a sharp, crisp, "POP" out the exhaust like that at idle, I knew that guy had some money put into the engine! I can tell the compression on that thing is way up there compared to most! I want one for my trike now!! 😎 IN LOVE with that engine!!!🤩
Looks like a great combo! Loving the new Ozone wing designs (both aesthetic and functional). Interested to see if the Spyder gets an update as that's almost certainly going to be my next wing.
Hey Tucker, long time fan of the channel. I'm 53, 6ft7 265lbs. What wing/motor combo would be best for my weight and inexperience? When you fly at higher altitudes, do you wear a separate emergency parachute for emergencies??? my goal is to take my first flight in 2023. I'm in Richmond, VA would love to fly with you one day sir. Fly safe sir.
Whats the cost of a simple but SAFE paraglide with a motor for a beginner? Not including lessons? I'm thinking of taking lessons and buying one that will be safe, fun and simple... 62yrs. old and I'm thinking of putting this on my bucket list... Hello from Minnesota!
I super excited for the efi/fuel injection model to hit the market. It should be a game changer for cold weather running! Also easier starting /idling as well. I can’t F-ING wait for it to come on the market!😁
I wonder if toroidal blades will become a thing in paramotors. And someday when battery tech leaps, electric motors. One can imagine these things becoming much more quiet in some distant future.
Would getting a slightly more aggressive prop pitch and changing the reduction to swing that prop just a little bit faster. That would give you more top end if thats what you are looking for.
Interested in the new carburetor. It must drink the fuel at a faster rate to make more power, simple physics. The question is, how much more does she drink? Also, how much more drag does the extra surface area from the hoop produce? 🤔 Very interesting!
I was thinking the same exact thing but he just said in this video that it’s more efficient, which would indicate he’s saying it’s better on fuel wouldn’t it? The only thing I could think of was maybe once up to speed the motor can cruise at a lower rpm making it more efficient?
As someone who likes physics, but have no idea of how a paramotor works... If a paramotor has a thrust of 100 kg, does that mean it can lift a pilot weighing 70kg (+30kg equipment) completely vertically? How come the climb rate is not that big when the thrust is?
I’ve been paragliding for 4 years I live in Victoria I flew on my para motor from Wilson’s prom to Mildura in 4 hours while it took my dad 7 years in a car.
That looks awesome! Just curious if you still have the Scout? That was to go-to for a while. My guess is it’s a solid motor but not nearly as high performance as you require now.
might also be a good solution for a bigger person when paired with a larger parafoil. I fear that he gets to comfortable up there, some of those clips looked extremely risky.
May be a dumb question but here goes. After training and becoming proficient, why not get this as a first motor with a bigger beginner/intermediate wing? You said more torque, better efficiency, same-ish weight, price difference is about 1k. Any reason not to just send it and get a bigger motor?
I was also curious to this too. Sorry he didn’t snswer your question. Email parajet, they I’m sure will give you the same oppinion since they both are selling these.
Hey Tucker, I've been following the developments of a novel rotary engine from a startup called "liquid piston", and they've got the best power/weight ratio I've ever heard of in an internal combustion engine. They can hit 2 horsepower per pound. I'm wondering whether you'd take same power at half the weight, or double the power at the same weight given the choice? Their engine isn't on the market yet, but they're selling development units to OEMs for evaluation. It can work with a wide range of fuels, either spark ignition or diesel. Its advantages should include much. higher reliability due to low parts count, and lower noise and vibration. Thoughts?
Hey tucker.. as you are in contact with vittarozzi people do you know enything on efi mosters? I had seen some competition pilots flying efi and they say it will be avalible for public. Thnx for anothre vid and stay safe
I wonder if what difference it would make to run a 3 blade 140 propeller instead of the 2 blade? Would you get more power/thrust? Would it slow down your acceleration when you go to full throttle? Just curious 🤔
I'd like to get into Paramotoring in PA, and I think I would do something like this motor and fan and a big wing. I'm interested in cruising, stability, and photos/videos, not so much tricks
Great review Thanks for posting Q. Could the Factory R be used on your Fly Product Flash Cruser for Tandems? What do you think? with the 140 cm 3 blade and ratio set-up?
VANS should release its own Tucker Gott Paramotor shoe
That would be legendary. Double layered toe for foot drag durability.
@@TuckerGottflint in the heels for sparks ⚡️⚡️
@@JudsonGraham now your talking
How does it handle in chocolate rain

I'm fairly certain a larger pair of sheers would have opened the box faster.

1:26 - big frame for ya. Gonna see some sparks fly on those pavement footdrags. Hope you're doing well Tucker. Long time no see
Yeah, if that foot drag wasn't over grass, he would've had some scratches on that frame if not sparks like you said.
i have been following for 3 videos for about 4 days. amazing.
@tuckergott just spotted a small mistake a 2:47 in the specs. the weight in pounds for the factory R should read 30.2lbs. Great video once again bud
So is that just the motor or the entire thing??
Tucker I’m hoping Parajet release the standard Mav with the swing arm / harness / fuel tank upgrades! Nice motor, great video mate 🇬🇧 Matt 😊
WOW WHAT A CLIMB!! That thing is a monster! Happy New Year Again! New toys are wonderful.

This looks more powerful Tucker! You're the best paramotor guy out there!
That paramotor sounds amazing ! Didn’t think I’d care about such a thing until I heard that nice low tone
Dude that thing is so sick!!! Really nice video man!
Love the content keep up the good work
The secondary kill switch is awesome!
I know I’m overthinking it but the quick release fuel tank could instantly ruin your day if it pops off. I love my parajet though and my next setup will be the Mav max with the factory R also
Need a balaclava for those cold days if you plan on flying, something like skiing gear
hey I love you videos im the first to watch them all the time keep up the good work you inspired me to become a pilot thank you for your amazing content
It’s true! I’ve seen you watching them after I did!!
My first time seeing him on TH-cam on my old TH-cam acc was like 5 years ago flying to fast food place’s
Great to see an upload. hope you're doing ok
It's soo beautiful, I've always wanted to anodize a frame kinda. That would be an awesome video
I was thinking the same thing!
I use a electric
paramotor no gas needed and use a solor panel to charge the motor up love it while in the air for long travels.

Thank you! I spent a lot of time on this edit. ☺️
Tucker have you tried the OpenPPG SP140? If not you should. I’m sure it would get huge views.

The deeper note makes for a better video sound experience a;so making your voice clearer in flight.
I liked this video before seeing it because they are always good enough for a like. AND I was not disappointed!
the super harsh rolling shutter effect on those props was phenomenal, really neat haha
I love how compact and minimalist this one is
Looks awesome Tucker!😀
Looks like a great combo! Loving the new Ozone wing designs (both aesthetic and functional). Interested to see if the Spyder gets an update as that's almost certainly going to be my next wing.
That looks so fun! I wish I could own own of these but, I’m not at that level yet😢. Have fun stay risky.
Can see how this sport could be addictive, crazy cool
Parajet came out right after I got my motor huge bulky Blackhawk. One day I’ll upgrade, must be dope to be so cool man haha.

Really enjoy this format and filming. Soup up a nice full face and get comfortable.

Top review, Parajet is just up the road from me! Thanks
Mav Max Factory R - "It Feels More Like Stronger, You Know What I Mean?" (New Slogan?) Just messin' love the vids.
Let me know if you want an air-to-air video shot from my drone. th-cam.com/users/shortsX4QlAesCt_8
We need another restaurant run bro with the paramotor in memory of Jeff
yep..If you leave NJ ..you need to make one last McDonald run...
I agree! It’s tough to find spots that are accessible by paramotor, I’ve done a lot of the best ones. But I think kfc or burger kind may be doable.
Airport diner ?
I super excited for the efi/fuel injection model to hit the market. It should be a game changer for cold weather running! Also easier starting /idling as well. I can’t
F-ING wait for it to come on the market!😁
I can't wait for the second gen efi. I avoid 1st gen 😂
And it will be awesome to never have to adjust or rebuild the carb.
Do you k ow if they have plans to add EFi in the near future?
@@c.j.maurine6394 Yes it’s already out and being tested as we speak. and it should be available really soon😁

@@clippedwing-bensmith1614 it’s in the truck ready for a blast tomorrow mate . Welcome any time buddy

Would getting a slightly more aggressive prop pitch and changing the reduction to swing that prop just a little bit faster. That would give you more top end if thats what you are looking for.
I posted this comment in another video, but i'd love to watch you do the Icaraus again with updated gear and knowledge.
Better then a motor bike

The lean was clean
It’s been a while since I’ve seen any PM videos, Tucker with the short hair looks a bit like Yuri from The Straight Pipes now. 👍
Dope intro shots
I like the way it sounds. Its just a hum.
looks amazing
I need them to send me one for evaluation. Also need a wing, reserve and some lessons.
You should have a week we're you randomly select 5 people and teach them to paramotor. I'd definitely be down and would buy one
As someone who likes physics, but have no idea of how a paramotor works...
If a paramotor has a thrust of 100 kg, does that mean it can lift a pilot weighing 70kg (+30kg equipment) completely vertically? How come the climb rate is not that big when the thrust is?
Still love to hear what made you switch from the Scout in the first place. Do you miss the torque compensation design of the Scout?
Probably because they gave him this equipment for free lol
Super!
Any plans on a 3 blade for this behemoth?
Ya know what Tucker? I think it's time for another Icarus race.
I’ve been paragliding for 4 years I live in Victoria I flew on my para motor from Wilson’s prom to Mildura in 4 hours while it took my dad 7 years in a car.
That looks awesome! Just curious if you still have the Scout? That was to go-to for a while. My guess is it’s a solid motor but not nearly as high performance as you require now.
that's what she said
God take care yuo Tucker…..!!! Saludos from Mexico…..!!!!!🙏👍🏻
Hey viva Mexico brother!!
Bro can see the shape of the Earth everyday
You should fly your paramotor over mountains with snow
I hope SCOUT doesn't get pissed with your new love!lol
This Factory R + Mustache could be absolute insanity

Someone needs to invent a dual prop with a sport bike motor! You either get to space or you 360 wingover on climb!
Still wondering... Why the switch from Scout to ParaJet? Is it financially motivated?
Nope. Just what I prefer.

I've been busy with life, so haven't seen all the vids...what happened to flying Scout?
Equipamento top 👏👏👏
The frame seems to hang quite a bit lower. When you did your landings, it seems like the frame is mere inches from the ground. Don't face-plant!
Can I pls have your old one I wanna get into it but can't afford to. Thx ❤️
Hi Tucker, Could you put your Mav Max on a scale and tell us its total weight? --With prop, harness, cage, netting. Thanks!
Bravo.......looks like fun........but playing and getting ground resonance would ruin ur day........be safe......cheers
