I've been flying Paragliders for a while and always wondered what it would be like to build and fly an RC full-size full-scale drone paraglider thing, so this was the time to do it!
It's a pretty simple construction but after a few techniques were ironed out it worked surprisingly well!

If you enjoy the project don't forget to Subscribe and Share it with your friends, really helps the channel! Speaking of which, what should we build next?! xD
Very cool project! This is in serious need of a DJI HD FPV system though... :)
Ehm... what about your paragliding simulator game?
Is there progress?
amazing, can we use a small part in our new win compilation. attribution will be given onscreen and in desc
@@pilot_Julius30 I don't know if you've tried it, but check out paraglidinglogbook.com/
The "virtual paragliding world cup" is going on right now!
Es lo mas deseo hacer antes de morir , volar en parapente , pero ya tengo 65 años y no me queda mucho... :-(
Wow awesome job mate!! I didn't expect those servos to work so well! I think they're similar to the ones on my mini paramotor haha
ahah cheers dude! Yeah I was expecting them to break to be honest, but metal gears and race bearings looked like they were just about enough to hold it together. They are the beefiest ones I had around!
Nice to see you here also, Tom Stanton!
You two should definitely do a collab and make a auto-paraglider-pilot!
Get some tension feedback on the lines to make it auto adjust for optimal lift, the possibilities of user focused engineering for paragliding seems endless!
@@JohanMood Totally agree, came here to say the same thing.
@@JohanMood check this out. th-cam.com/video/p_s4vUZRa6k/w-d-xo.html
The possibilities of using paragliding for science and research are amazing. ie. My personal wing weighs 3.4kg and carries 105kg.. no aircraft in the world can do that payload ratio, and it fits in a backpack.. I did this autonomous paraglider to demonstrate that a pendulum stable aircraft is a perfect thing to drop from high altitudes. wide riser to naturally untwist.... when a paraglider over-speeds... it just collapses, it doesnt rip the wing off. We did controlled spirals.. fly stright then more spirals to show FAA we could descend through airspace if needed.
Great man, just great!
I've flown paragliders for 30 years now, and always had this "dream" of RC-controlling a full size PG, but never even attempting to pull it off (always realising it would take much more than just quickly moving a couple servos over to a harness...)
Thanks for satisfying my RC-PG dream, so that I didn't have to make a fool of myself or injure somebody!
I have a similar unit I made 15 years ago (before TH-cam was popular). I used a sitting mannequin torso, so the unit could be strapped into any paraglider harness(adds weight). Heavy duty Futaba r/c sailboat winch servos with individual battery packs were used. They attached to two retractable dog leashes mounted at the shoulders. This made the control lines super tidy. The servos are capable of 6 revolutions and are powerful enough for full stalls and acro at max load. It's much easier to fly when the servo returns to a zero point when the sticks are released (hands up). The speed bar required quite a powerful servo made from a modified cordless drill. FPV was later added as well as a r/c vario. It was cool flying it through Fatshark googles. Eventually a r/c brushless motor and folding prop were added for launch and sustained flight (it also added weight). It worked best with XXS gliders.
Can't wait to see your next version! Hope this helps!
Holy cow you went all out with that sucker. Thanks for sharing your tale.
Amazing! Modern cars have steering assistance and emergency braking mechanisms. Paragliders with such tools like yours can have autopilot, auto thermal assistants, collapse prevention mechanisms and so much more! Keep up great work Andrey
Use a stuffed dog as ballast with flying goggles, so make it happen.! You guys are great. Made my day.
Yes! Or any other stuffed animal. A flying cow or a giraffe, lol!
PeTA will cancel you if you do that
Great job Andre! It was fun hearing Gemma's excitement at your success during her filming.
This is amazing. I like all of your videos but this is the best thing you've done. You're making the sport safer, thank you. I would love to see a real weight version flown in rotor, leeside etc. Keep inventing and I'll see you at Obidos one day. Thanks both of you. Joe
I second this suggestion. Great work guys!
Hey Andre that's a fantastic pioneering feat in the world of paragliding. You have just opened a new gateway for endless possibilities in this field.
1. With the right AI we can actually have a pg in air in auto mode
2. Simulation becomes safer if we use this method
I wish you all the best
So cool, Andre! I see some potential for wing certification/comparison, full autonomous software control, panic land me assistance button and many more. Great project!
Ahah great minds think alike! Also, started playing Kerbal! Haven’t managed to land in Duna yet but I’m close! :D
This guy is a legend
@@AndreBandarra1 Ha-ha, better late than later. ;) Wow, already to Duna, you must like it! This is not surprising from an engineer who likes to fly though... That game is so great! All the best in your exploration of the Kerbol system, may your rapid unplanned disassembles be funny. ;)
👍👍👍 that bag has more airtime then me 😂
ahah this is by far the best comment! pinned!
Nice one
Andre Bandarra Hello Bro Bro x
AND it fly's better than some people ive seen haha
I am surprised that the TH-cam channel FliteTest
did not do this years ago. You beat them to it! :) LOL
ahah yeah true. Don't think this is the first time it has been done though, probably just not on youtube. I think it's the first time someone has soared and got lift with one though :)
lol i came here from a video they did about rc paramotors
Awesome job Andre!!!!
Great idea, plan, execution, and skills mate!!!!!
Content like this is exactly why I watch your channel. You guys are awesome!
I see this is an older project now, but there's a another improvement it needs, apart from the ones you mentioned. The servos need a measurement loopback so they produce pull length proportional to the joystick input. That's typically done with multi-turn potentiometers, but there might be ready-made multi-turn servos. Anyway, great job, keeping costs down on POC projects is art!
This can be the future of paragliding navigation! Imagine if you put an Arduino on it, and connects with flymaster...In theory you could make perfect XC. DUDE YOUR AWESOME! Greetings from Spain!
Just brilliant, guys! I can't wait to see you take it to the next level. I'm envisioning you someday looking through VR goggles with a vario beeping in your ear while sitting at the pool with a piña colada.
The Wright brothers would be so proud!!! I love it and want one. Well done and Happy New Year!! Much love from Canada...
The Rogallos would be proud. Fantastic project!Thank you for sharing.
The future of PPG and PG training! Cheers!
Love it !! :) . Couple of thoughts (that you've probably already considered :) )
Winch servos for RC sail boats seem ideal for this and use "eyelet" holes to guide the lines to the pulley wheel to avoid the lines slipping of the sides, also setting the pulley wheels much lower down or take the brake handles off for extended travel, great work though :)
I just about died laughing when you said you could probably add some more weight and then the dog immediately walked into the frame 😭😂
Very next level man! I’m glad I subscribed awhile back so I did not miss this. You do some really neat experiments!
Amazing ! full size RC paraglider. When you said "lets add some weight'' I thought you were going to put the dog in the bag....
Superb!! Fantastic to see! Follow your dream gives so much fun!
Fantastic job on the pilotless paraglider. Look forward to more.
Awesome Andre!
Now with AI and other modules, perhaps taking one from a drone, you might be able to get it to "Auto-hover" or "Auto-Navigate," pre-program destinations, etc.
Also I would add in an emergency feature that if it detects a battery or servo failure, it will go into a slow downward spiral mode, ensuring it wont accidentally fly away on you.
Was referred to you via Sam Holmes Sailing 6/25/23.
this is amaaaaaaaazing man hahahah really enjoyed watching this BIG DRONE flying :)
As an RC pilot, well done it looks great!!! If I may offer a little bid of advice, make the control spools slightly bigger it will give you better control on the wing and lesser input control on your transmitter
Awesome, it look so amazing!! If you can add some ballast on a rail and servo for moving it from left to right ( as a weight shifting) it will be the fully controlable paraglider !
Absolutely fantastic, congratulations! I have a ton of time into thinking and tinkering with this, I should have done what you did : keep it simple. Again, congratulations. This is absolutely wonderful
EXCELLENT PROJECT! I always wanted to make an RC para glider!! This is great !
Now you need something like a 16 sized Boomerang EN-D that's gonna be a lot of fun. You should ask a manufacturer if they have a small wing prototype you could get for cheap.
I'm looking forward to the second Version of it 🙂.
Sweet video Andre! That thing is awesome, Imagine it on a speed wing!
Excellent! The controls could be brake lines on a back mounted rig - used for beginner instruction - maybe even dual control wing flown by learner and with instructor override, or with an electric motor would beat quad drones on payload/endurance
Put this ability together with what Eric Dufour does with new pilots in his SkyKart rig, where he can control the throttle of a ppg by remote, and you'd really have something! So cool. Keep it up. Awesome vids.
Congratulations for that work :-) Its great to see!! Thanks for that impressions!
What a great team...another Andre and Gemma success
That's just absolutly amazing !
I think it could be cool to put more weight on it and endeed as you said to have a bigger brake range, that way you would be able to try new things that you wonldn t test if you was flying the glider.
But anyway, this is very very cool, I have been waiting for someone to do that for ages !
I want more of this !!! I love your channel !
Ps: You should put a fpv camera with a head traker on it ! ;)
Coolest thing in a long time!
DAMN COOL! So glad I found this channel!!!!
Bloody awesome ! You could add a tag line and maybe even add a banner to it with a sponsors name!
Whooohooo, exciting! ... and quite a workout for Gemma to bring that thing into the air, I suppose. Can you please retrofit my Symphonia with autopilot when we meet again in May??? Congratulations guys - wonderful job!
I fly a home built trike and used to fly a lot of rc,this was cool to see your idea work so well!
Very cool! More winches needed - for weight shift, speedbar, and big ears. This would be a perfect way to use older expired-time paragliders. A LOT of fun could be had practicing low-level wingovers and many many other things a new pilot wouldn't normally try.
No weight shift?!?! You are awesome. Thanks so much for another excellent video! :-)
That is Ridiculously COOL!
This is simply incredible!! My dad has his old paraglider lying in storage... Probably not safe for people to use... But with a 20kg "man" no reason why not... I do believe I'm going to attempt this .
Doesn't look very difficult either 👌😁
I lost my words! Awesome experiment!!
Excellent. I've seen your videos before but this one is major. I subscribed.
Amazing, great job.
I haven't been on TH-cam for a while. Saw this videos notification and I was like this is a must see! Dude! This was remarkable, totally blown away! Wonderful, keep it up 👍
Welcome back Bari!
Amazing. It is flying really well. :-)
v2, use motors and not servos + guides for the poulies -
v3 - pitot tube and wind direction indicator + arduino to make it fly automatically and rth.
v5 - use it to transport and drop cocaine
ahahahah xD v5
Great idea and new way to train new students. Think about it...
Congrats Man!
Wow. My favorite video now. Flitetest and Peter Sripol need to see this
That is freakin cool! You two are awesome stay elevated 😎
This is brilliant Andre. I would love to see it real. It could easily be used for e.g. in surveillance! Many thanks for sharing it. Sonae should pay for the free publicity ;-)
Ahah I know, we need to send a bill to Continente!
Andre, You’re wizard of Paragliding. RESPECT!!!!!
Very cool! I liked and subscribed. It is mesmerizing to watch it fly.
Congratulation an a fine project ...that works
Happy Landings...
Nicely done! Great minds think alike. Swear I've been thinking about this for over a year but you did it!
Well done Andre. 👍 I think if you added a multi-turn pot into the servos, you could retain feedback and in turn, your 'neutral' brake positioning.
Yeah good point. It’s a bit hard to find the exact same pot though but multiturn. I think brushless motors with something like an o-drive would be the dream :)
Absolutely loved this!
Wowo That's insane! !😍😍😍 amazing job man!
i have been Windsurfing Decades and i am Obsessed with RC Offshore Boats large scale, seems to be the same with most Extreme Enthusiasts
Defo has crossed my mind, offshore autonomous sailing :)
Good stuff Andre! I think I see where you are going with this... Good test bed for the uncollapsible wing.
Not a bad idea
Drug cartels will be busy learning to fly these things remotely now lol
how to get rid of a body
military industrial complex are way further in the game
Amazon delivery
Really cool and perfect for "tandem" flight with no buddy to fly along 😁
Man, this is the ultimate access tool for wingsuit BASE - we need to collaborate. Come to the Alps and we'll get rad!
I would definitely try get some RC sail winch servos they recenter and do around 6 turns.
Cool!! I'm surprised the servos are strong enough. Time to hook up FPV. You could let people fly your location over the web. That's a pretty special beach you have there.
Very cool...I’ve thought about this many times and talked about it up on the hill while waiting for the wind to pick up. I’ve have a dozen old paragliders up on the shelf and think I’m going to get started on another project. I’ve been into RC for 50+ years and have some good ideas that would work. Including FPV with telemetry. Maybe even a paramotor set up. Great video.
It is recommended that you install a cable guide above the cable drum to ensure that the cable can operate correctly. A three-axis stabilization system is also installed to make it easier to control.
Excellent video! And GREAT job on this project! Very creative!
Fantastic project and video! Thank you for sharing this
Next video: Autopilot for paragliding lol
SO in those high mountain flights you could take a power nap yes?
@@bigsailboatproject You could even read a book as you float in the clouds lol
Can't imagine how it will fight cravats.
The servo mod is fantastic, thanks for sharing it in such detail.
Got it from Peter here :) th-cam.com/video/XUm2nj7te8E/w-d-xo.html
Really nice job Guys! Glad you having fun. Keep up with brilliant job ! Take care fly safe 😜 have always crazy ideas 🙏
Cheers Peter! :D
Haha. Amazing Flite fella! Good Job!
Outstanding shipmate from a USS Kitty Hawk CV-63 sailor.
So cool! Would love to see this evolve towards a fpv system with a 360 cam with vr headset and a harness on the ground with brake toggles that command the servos. It would be as if you were there
Even better: make it controllable via a sim card so you can fly your glider while sitting at home. Ship your stuff to a place with good flying conditions for the days weather is not good at home 😂
Awesome!!! Congrats!
That was so cool fantastic nice work.
this is inspiring. you guys are awesome!
That's just awesome! The next step is ACRO! :)
fantastic project big thumbs up
Excellent add narration so we can understand how to fly
You could have a counterweight that is pulled between the two servos to add a bit of weight shift
awesome. was smiling the whole time. cheers!
Beautiful wing.. Nice colors
That was so fucking sic-unreal with unlimited potential- great job and skills
Hey that was amazing congratulations, I love the partnership with your wife. All the best for you guys, cheers Carlos
you are insane man.....insane genius !
definitely build another one!
Great job man !!!
So sick! Congrats to the success. Looks fun.
Dang, that looks like such a fun spot to fly
you guys are awesome goals. i love seeing yo have fun with this crazy things andre comes up
That's cool, you are very talented Andre
Nicely done!
