Another great video. Thanks very much. Cant wait to get mine in the air. Your vids have been a great help. Gave up trying to program my Futaba 14sg and am going to use my Xlite that works the paramotor perfectly
awsome.these look absolutely amazing.lol your right about the weather lol.up and down.decent today thankfully.our group is out at 2 oclock cant wait.
Thanks for the video on setting up the radio and thanks for including your radio model it worked great. yet to maiden but next calm day I plan to make it happen.
I have never seen a RC paraglider before, I look forward to seeing your maiden flight. I don’t want to google someone else’s video of flying one, I feel invested in this journey.
A question on marking the brake line. You say that the mark should line up with the top of the riser's D Rings (at 9:17), but at about 9:47, you show the mark inning up with the top of the Brake line's D Ring.
I'm confused. Not, by the way, an unusual occurrence. Thanks for a clarification.
I found some adjustable hoodie ends on an old coat and used those instead of tying the brake knots. Hope they hold!
Excellent Video!
Pretty impressive kit, Lee! Really amazing! 😮
I really thought you would need to cut all the lines and make everything. It's great that it comes ready. 😃
mc!!!!!
i guess we both have the same tastes!
Very nice well explained set up thanks
I’m still watching. Bummer, no maiden. Now that I see the canopy, my ears peaked up. I have a huge power kite that drags me on medium windy days. Doesn’t take much. Brakes work!
I hope they come out with replacement parts soon!
I have yet to fly mine, but from the vids I've seen on it's flight, I'm strongly considering adding a servo that will pull down on the "A's" slightly to act as a speedbar. I'd like to be able to speed it up a bit to fly in less than optimal conditions.
Just an FYI. The propeller has a front and back. It will work backwards but will only produce about 75% of the thrust. It should be strong enough to overturn itself on full power! If you can go full throttle without having to hold it down then it's probably backwards!
This is such a dream to fly. If you can get it into the air that is. I was surprised how tricky it is to get the launch just right.
Whats hard or tricky about it? I have one on the way.
@@MrLunithy just making sure the wing comes up straight and need to have the throttle right. Throttle up too much and it'll surge back and forth making it hard to control. I think my problem was not aborting if it the wing didn't come up right. Now I can tell if it's not coming up right and just abort the launch. I wouldn't say it's hard but one of things that takes a bit to get the hang of it. Second day I was launching just fine. Launch over grass while you get the hang of it. It's pretty tough. All I had to do was straighten those metal hoop holders after 5 failed launches.
@@wormhole331 SPOT ON - all is said and now - practice, practice ..
@@wormhole331 Thanks.
I got mine yesterday and tried to fly it in a little too much wind. Smashed it up pretty good and broke the front landing gear off completely. Was able to bend most of it out straight and actually got in a nice flight this morning. I am still doing a lot more crashing then flying.
Thanks!
Nice video Lee. A couple of the guys down the club have paramotors and the one thing that they seem to play with a lot is adding/subtracting weight based on the wind conditions. To light and it just goes backwards, too heavy and it doesn't fly so well. Looking forward to your first flight :-) .
This will need about 200g extra on the cart to fly well in lower winds. Enough for a GoPro :D
Risers - sort of appropriate coming just after June 6. Blood on the risers and all that.
What exact knots did you used to fix brake lines? Thanks
nice
Given that pilots used to flying fixed wing will instinctively pull back on the elevator stick to pitch up, has anyone considered putting throttle and 'rudder' on the one stick and the 'brake' lines on the other stick?
hello, thanks for your video. Yes Hobby king leaves alone in the instructions for the length of the brake line. I think that's bad. I'm also finishing my paracopter. The marking with the pen make you at 649 cm or 25.5 inches and must tune with the middle ring over? I have seen videos where the brake line has been knotted with the ring. In those she is knotted only on the servo arms. That seems more logical to me. Have you already flown? Unfortunately, there is not too much wind here.
Maiden video with launching tips in the works..
Painless360 glad to see you got right on this one Lee!
If you don't put an action figure on it for the second flight you're dead inside. Also strange request but I'd love to see you enjoy pan and tilt on it!
That's the plan - action man with a camera inside the head! :D
I'm too late for the explanation, had mine out the second time today. The wind was getting stronger while I was in the air with it, barely made it back to the field. But it was fun 😅
Cool! Brake line mark lined up with the top D ring?
@@Painless360 With the top. I followed the instructions in the video on HKs website and the one by the Petrinčič brothers (which was more entertaining 😁 )
I am confused by your brake attachment segment. Your 649mm brake marks you put at the D-ring when you set it up. In the HobbyKing setup video they put the 649mm mark at the servo arm hole. Which one is correct?
I followed the setup videos from the designer of the model so not sure. Best of luck
Did you ever post part 4?
No, gave up on the model. Not my cup of tea at all... sorry
Maiden flight ? 🤔🤘
I'm working on something a lot more useful for a new pilot to get it into the air with the minimum of trouble..
Uhmm, I have seen in some other videos that the brake lines mark needs to aling not on the lower but on the upper ring. Now I'm not sure which advice to follow...
Upper ring looks good here.. This should be clearer in the instructions.. Can you link to those videos that show the other setting?
@@Painless360 Hi, I saw it here th-cam.com/video/d1xYHHhl_tE/w-d-xo.html (minute 17'47")
@@Painless360 I was unable to fly mine with brake lines configured the way this guy says. I wonder if that was the reason.
@@Painless360 Ups, it seems that I missunderstood your instructions. So mine keeps crashing and maybe it is more on the pilot =)
How can you setup the transmitter up....for flysky I 6...
There is no information about that ..this transmitter has only three mixes
Unless the radio has the curve function you'll struggle to set it up.. Best of luck!
@@Painless360 I have found the solution...it's activate the elevon and change the output to 120.and that's it..done...
I have put on TH-cam now...
Bom dia
Gostaria de saber quanto tem de baixar os braços dos servos? ( quantos centímetros?
O meu está com 8cm todo baixo
Tudo que eu sabia está no vídeo. Eu não era fã do modelo, então não o tenho mais. Boa sorte com isso..
Where’s the maiden flight?
Loads of pilots have done maiden flights with the already, see those- I'm working on something a lot more useful for a new pilot to get it into the air with the minimum of trouble..
Where's Part 4: Paramotor Flight Review?
Never made it. Happy flying
@@Painless360 Ah okay. Thanks for letting me know, Lee. Did it fly okay though?
Not my cup of tea. Flew OK but slow and unexciting for me.
That thing will never support your weight mate, you want a bigger one!
Well, I do want. 😐
Plenty of room for a suicidal teddy bear...
