Danny, way to go! I don't know how you make all these things from scratch, but I'm glad you do. Congratulations! You are a pioneer and I hope you post more flights soon :)
Hey Danny I'm really liking your propeller reduction drive! The bigger, slower-turning prop really looks like it gives great climbing performance. I built an electric hang glider years ago using a big Hobbyking brushless motor and direct drive. Powered it with a big pile of cordless power tool batteries. If I remember, the static power was about 8 kilowatts and the level-flight power was around 3 kW.
@@onedoodadyoung That's what I thought, if I remember right I was using maybe a 32" x 22 two-blade wooden prop using ~8 kW power, full throttle, static. Looks like your climb performance is awesome, looks like you are too! Thanks for posting this kind of stuff for us to admire :)
@@surplusstock8778 No doubt eh! Are you talking about Solid-State batteries (SSBs) by any chance? I don't think that technology is ready for prime time yet, otherwise the SSB would be found in everything from smartphones to aircraft. 500 Wh/kg would be just awesome, but batteries that can do that only last maybe half a dozen cycles instead of the customary 300-500 for conventional li-ion cells. Developing highly advanced battery technology is an absolutely massive undertaking and can cost billions. My guess is that the world just doesn't really need it yet because today's conventional cells are fine for most consumer shit and more demanding applications just use combustion engines. For example, you can get fully electric cars these days that are very good but even most wealthy people probably just drive combustion engine powered vehicles.
Nice setup for unassisted flights in flat terrain! I didn't know battery power could get you up that high! For people with disabilities,such as arthritis,this is fantastic!
@@onedoodadyoung thanks i was fortunite to get that before someone else did . Ive been building a trike but have always wanted to figure out a way to fly a hang glider with a paramotor .
Very nice. Great job. I think, if the batteries were placed below the upper pipe would give you more room for your harness. It loos like you do not have upward movement for your legs since the batteries are on the way. Just my opinion. I am building a similar system... Thank you for the video. Made me inspired.
Good build, looks to handle quite nice! Wish someone would sell plans for flphg units. I love building but wouldn't know where to start n the important things to watch for.
Thanks, I used the minimum system to start from and it was a lot of trial and error, batteries, motors, ESCs, and 8 different props. I was determined to make it work and it does a good job for what it is designed for, one shot to thermal altitude!
@@onedoodadyoung nice...where can I find any info on the minimum setup. I can't find anything except I think I seen n old vid of it flying years ago. I'm proficient with building all the electronics n even prop stuff, I'm more concerned with airframe imbalances n torque management.
@@onedoodadyoung well i truly miss the light wing loading of hang gliding. My soaring trike isnt quite as good. But the plusses are i dont need a driver, i have more options on where i can launch, i can go around as much as i want on a lz. My range is exstended and more comfortable. So alot of safety is built into that. But the advantage of flying a lighter wing loading and taking off prone is really atractive on your video and design. Truth is what all of us glide heads really want are real bird wings on are back. Fly safe my friend
My motor is a 8000w 95KV running on a 2.5/1 reduction. the batteries are 8000ma 16s 3p for 24AH. the props I make and it is 52"x24" folding. You can check out my other videos that show the setup.
Very good, but you didn't think about the fire, if these batteries catch fire on your back, it's dangerous! I am a modeler myself and saw with my own eyes how it happened to my friend.
I've had that happen myself, I built & flew an electric hang glider roughly 25 years ago and I had the lipo battery pack catch fire in mid air! I had scramble to rip the power connector out, tear the pack loose and jettison it. Down it went in a ball of fire. I made a rough but safe-ish landing with a big brown load in my pants!
Bill, thanks for your interest and observations. This flight was one of the first flights and the angle was too high. I lengthen the tubes to the harness and used a streamer to check the angle of thrust. I am happy with the setup although more power and speed would be nice,
*Have you thought of mounting the motor in the front part of the front structure where the strong tubes are located so that the propeller pulls in this way you avoid all the mounting in the rear part with two wheels in the triangle you could take off from the ground in the same way. greetings.*
Nice job! Is this something you designed? I'm working on a project to install an electric motor on my glider and would be interested in the component details: batteries, controller, motor, prop manufacturer and diameter.
Hello Rick, The design comes from Europe I think I first saw this setup In the late 70s. and it was called a Minimum system. I just made my own version of it for electric. It is made up of very large RC equipment. the motor is an out runner with 95 KV on 16s or 67 volts fully charged it is rated at 8000 watts output. I am running 110 to 120 amps at 67 volts or 8040 watts. I have a 2.5 to 1 cog belt reduction drive giving my prop 2546 rpm. but it tacks at around 2200 with a 51x26 prop. So far it has worked the best giving a climb rate of around 200'/m. I am making a 52x30 to see if I can improve speed a little. I am climbing best around 20 to 21 mph. The batteries are 4s cells 14.2v at 8000ma, x 4 series =67v x 3 parallels gives me 24AH. I used 6600ma in 10 min at full power and climbed to 1200 in lift and sink. My set up is working and it is not the top of the line my any means, but the paraglider folks are making good power systems and there are lots of things coming along in Eruope. My ESC is 300amp 16s Alian brand but not good service. The Motor is called Watts Big and is out of business. The speed controller is a RC servo tester. If you google Radar Bernstein his ehelp videos shows epower setups and how it all works. If I can help you in any way that I can I will be clad to. If you want to call me Message me and I will give you my #. I carve my own folding props and it comes in handy trying to get the most out on the motor. I hope this helps. Danny
Hi! Very nice flying. Have you rebuild the original schwarze-minimum system, or you build the unit from scratch? I'm asking because I try to find used original minimum, and now its very problematic :/
Thank you, I had seen that original minimum years ago and liked it. I saw the Flyped and went from there and built this from scratch. This video was the 3rd flight. I have since lengthened the tubes 5" going to the harness to correct the thrust angle to be more parallel with air flow and lowered my hang point. Testing props now. I am very pleased with the unit.
I like this idea of attaching the engine to the glider too. But isn't the angle point a bit too downwards? Your hangloop looks quite short, I think that would be the easy fix
You are very observant yes you are correct I have Lengthened the tubes to the harness and also going to Lengthen the hang loop to correct that. downward angle thanks for the observations
this is absolutely brilliant, i was wondering if this rig existed, it seem like a hustle to go up a mountain to catch wind or being dragged by a truck, not to mention i rather be in a motorized vehicle than one that is hundred percent at the mercy of mother nature, mother nature can be a b0tch some times. do you have videos on how to build one or you sell them?
Sir, you are correct in that the motor angle is is pointing up to much. This was the first flight with video, seeing this I corrected by lengthened the tubes to the harness 5" to correct the angle as you can see in the later flights. thanks
Yes it is a 8000w 95KV outrunner with 2.5 redrive running on 16s 24AH lipos. I have no way of measuring the thrust but it is enough to climb to thermal altitude 1200 to 1600 with a run time of 10 minutes at 22 mph. Check out my other videos and there is one that explains the whole setup. Glad you liked it.
DJ, I have a Falcon 195 and it works well. I am 72 and I had a U2 160 and I had to get a lighter wing because I have a bad back. any wing will work if you can remove or cut the keel to clear the prop, and handle the extra 50 lbs.
Everyone should call the non emergency (annoyance line) or the airport whenever they hear and see one one of these noisy polluters flying around making a racket. Hopefully the FAA will start requiring these guys to follow the same regulations as other motorized aircraft. It's only a matter of time before these guys screw everything up for us air powered pilots.
Danny, way to go! I don't know how you make all these things from scratch, but I'm glad you do. Congratulations! You are a pioneer and I hope you post more flights soon :)
Thanks Chad it is better than our winch days. I hope to soon catch the thermal to cloud base!
I LOVE Pioneers. . . where would we be without them? BRAVO!!!
Thank you sir, I love building new things!
And light bycycle suspensions to the wheels. Tank you for the video, this delta glider i very affordable.

It would be an interesting project if you could get the hands on the new 500wh per kg batteries.just 6kg to maintain flight for one hour.
@surplusstock8778 Yes the lighter the battery the better the flying !

Can I come watch? I’m in Corvallis
The positive angle of attack 19 to 23 degrees seems a bit much, how close are you to stall speed? Cruise speed?
Bill, thanks for your interest and observations. This flight was one of the first flights and the angle was too high. I lengthen the tubes to the harness and used a streamer to check the angle of thrust. I am happy with the setup although more power and speed would be nice,
