    Nicely put together Vid thanks. I'm interested in the really good quality of noise cancelling you are achieving on your sound setup - I kept thinking you were motor off it was so quiet :-) but when you were wall hopping towards the end I realised you weren't doing that. I've used 360 camera a bit on my flights but sound of the engine needs editing out for sure. Mind you I've never recorded my voice over headset yet... (what app works easiest?) maybe I'll surprise myself when I do...

    I honestly can’t imagine what it would feel like being free in the air alone to do whatever you want. There’s no traffic you don’t need to worry about getting pulled over. You can get hit by planes and smack into power lines or trees. If I get one Im sticking with just flying. No tricks for me😂

    Just curious, it there no minimum altitude or distance from obstacles for paramotors? Are there any height or visibility (i.e above cloud) restrictions, based on the fact that GA operate down to around 1500ft and military down to 250 ft.?

    • @generic7916
      @generic7916 ปีที่แล้ว

      Iirc in the UK you need to be at least 500ft away from the nearest ground/object, I can't remember the cloud visibilities though

      Use Gaggle (prob best one, you can see live aircraft, it talks to you and you can actually see your friends on the app a bit like flight radar for planes) or Sky demon (This ones expensive though)

    • @NickSeee
      @NickSeee ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Depends on motor and tank size, wing size and most critically on the wind speed, but on a low wind day and with 10 litres of petrol onboard you could do 4 hours at say 30 mph over the ground so 120 miles maybe. I usually run out of concentration long before that, and I'm sure someone who's done some long cross-country will be along with some different numbers.
