Finally, @ 4:06 using sound reasoning and good explanation, someone has taken the time to refute Dell's recent video condemning wings with minor negative dynamic stability as "unsafe". I'd got tired of trying to have a discussion with him that stays on topic and doesn't deteriorate into an advertisement for flat tops, dominators and death threats. Like an inherently stable Cessna 172, stability comes at a price. The price is slower, less maneuverable and arguably less fun flying, unless you're like me and Travis just looking to grandpa around on a Sunday morning. Purpose built aircraft like the Pitts and ALL air to air combat aircraft, are intentionally designed to be unstable so that they are more maneuverable. Both fly-by-wire next-gen airliners, and the Lockheed Martin F-35 (that requires critical flight control computers to deal with rectifying pilot inputs) utilize lower dynamic stability for fuel efficiency and maneuverability. Refreshing to hear your defense of the design INTENTION.
I've been watch your videos for a while now along with Tucker Gott videos. I live in the UK and I'm looking at learning to fly myself, my nearest place is UKPPG in Cambridge but I would love to come to America and learn with your team Eric but this is not possible, maybe one day. Love what you do and how you teach you make it look so much fun with your enthusiasm for the sport. Look forward to watching more of your videos and the Paradigm team.
Hey there Elad, this is definitely not an intermediate glider. Highly recommend at least an advanced level of experience and prefer to see even more (300 hours total, 100+ per year is advised).
What do you mean by dead? I think he puts out plenty of content, and of great quality. Sure it isnt as much as beack in the day, but keep in mind his business has REALLY taken off (hehe) so I am sure he doesn't have as much time to dedicate to TH-cam.
Honestly not sure why the views aren't higher all the time, heh... But It's not my full time gig any more. I wish they were but I can only do my best! :) Thanks for watching :D
Omg u guys crack me up !!! I found ur channel a week ago and all I can say I’m sold! U guys explain everything in so much great detail about repair the wing and so much more ( because I thought super Dell is all about safety blah blah blah I seen his recklessness and caused a paramotor crash and ppl have died bc of him I’ve never seen him do even one repair or maintenance on his engine !! He is such a liar!! Such a hater. Supposedly he teaches so many people to fly paramotors don’t see hardly any videos of his students fly on daily bases all I see is the people who bought a flat top paramotor make couple videos and that’s it . Period !!! i finally figured out his gear sucks !!! i recently talk to one of his students and after all the training he did with Dell he crashed twice in a week! And destroyed his paramotor i’ve been trying to talk to every person on TH-cam who has a flat top to ask them questions and none of them ever got back to me , all they did is delete my comment I even left my email so they can get a hold of me I talk to dell a while ago with couple family of members because we are all saving up so we can go to training together in Mexico and by paramotors all at the same time, when I spoke to dell for like an hour and a half he mostly talked about was bashing other people I was asking about the dominator wing and how come he was the only person to have it in the world I couldn’t find any other ppl with reviews about it, when we spoke he had me believe his equipment is better than anybody else’s In the world and that’s it !!!! He just kept going on and on about who’s gay who is cheating on their wife he even wanted me to three-way Captain Kurt to hear me talking to him and ask him what he thought about Dell Shanze and just listen to him talking crap about dell rather than talking about the paramotor I promise in front of God that I am telling you the truth!!! So i quit adding ppl on TH-cam until Tucker Gott’s videos poped up once and i started watching them , thank god i almost bought 4 paramotors from Dell !!!! When is the 280 tornado coming out !???
Okay guys, that was an AWFUL review. I sentence you to MUCH more research so you can improve the review. Fly till it hurts!;) Eric, I noticed the net mounted anti-torque fins on your paramotor. What are your impressions of them?
Awesome video guys! That 15 looks fun. :D
You'll have to see today ;)
I've been waiting months for this. Watching now.
:D
great vid! Love seeing product reviews. We need more of em!
ha - was that a gator jumping at you from the water at 14:31 ??
great job guys! looking forward to another few months in Florida during winter!
Nice review. It's awesome to see just how much you liked flying that wing from your reactions.
You guys are a riot... I can't wait for September 2020
Have you covered the stators attached to the netting before? Looks interesting!
We'll be making a video on them soon!

Thanks much! :D We do our best.
SO , Is it a 'grandpa; crosscountry, wingover-groundhandling' suitable wing ??
It's probably not best at EVERYTHING... But it's a fantastic XC / freestyle glider for an advanced or expert pilot :)

Cheers Nick! Hope you have a blast at UKPPG... If not there, you should go to ParaCosta! :D
Nice Video!
Like that you raise the issue of flying an advanced glider in bad weather ...
Thanks Luft!
Thanks guys! Fun video! My wing looks like a bus compared to that 15 ! :)
Nice! I really like what I see!
Hi, how is the 21,23 sizes to the intermediate pilot-120kg hook in wight.
Hey there Elad, this is definitely not an intermediate glider. Highly recommend at least an advanced level of experience and prefer to see even more (300 hours total, 100+ per year is advised).
I'm sorry to ask, i dont know if you already mention about this, but which one is faster? between freeride or viper 4?
Depends on the size. I think the Freeride is probably a touch faster without bar.
AviatorShow Wow, they really put a lot of speed in freeride don't they? 😊👍 Thanks for the answer by the way
Hi, any idea how is the freeride vs the apco nrg xc ,please.
Honestly not really comparable in my opinion. Very different gliders.
Why is your channel dead man? You produce quality content!

I use a beginner 30m glider. I could only imagine one half the size my jah.....
why edit video this way with music so loud but then when you speak audio level is so quiet...
We've gotten better over the last 4 years!
you guys look like Carkson, Hammond and May ;)
Ahahha the ultimate compliment! But which one is Captain Slow?
AviatorShow I think you know, but don't tell Travis 😆
Ahahahahha
HMM REMINDS ME OF THE TREE STOOGES
Okay guys, that was an AWFUL review. I sentence you to MUCH more research so you can improve the review. Fly till it hurts!;)
Eric, I noticed the net mounted anti-torque fins on your paramotor. What are your impressions of them?
Hahhaa deal man! Will do!
The fins are good man... TOO good actually, I had to remove four so I would stop turning LEFT lol
