How to master the perfect landing!

- One of my favorite things to do with a paramotor is nail the perfect landing. Swoop in with tons of energy, drag your toe across the ground, and roll into a perfect flare ending right where you want it. It's one of the best feelings ever but it takes a lot of practice to get just right!

I WOKE UP AND THE SKY IS GONE!!! Seriously, put, "If the sky doesn't exist tomorrow, we killed it." on a t-shirt.
Also, the wind noise coming through the wing sounds dope AF.
Just what I thought to!..... LOL
People wouldnt get it, theyll just think you're a tree hugger 😄
10/10 would recommend over Saturday morning cartoons. Can't beat the nifty 50 lense.
Tucker thank you for sharing your experiences over TH-cam. I enjoy watching the incredible things you do paramotoring. Keep up the good work!
Tucker, thank you so much for your wonderful journeys. I have been riding with you in spirit. You are awesome. Much Love!
Awesome Skills Tucker , Don’t take those SKILLS for Granted though !
We ALL want to see you live a
Very Long life 🤙🏻 ✌🏽
Absolutely love your videos man, im definitely gonna look into getting a paramotor forsure because why not and everybody wants to fly
Power of accuracy landings were one of my favorites. I loved pulling power and managing energy. Knowing what you plane (or in your case wing) will do as far as glide ratio is important. Hitting the spot perfectly while also setting it down so gently no one knows you’ve landed is an awesome feeling.
You captured a day in the life of Tucker. Camera angles, Vlog, Jaclyn time, like seeing Jaclyn participating and not a watcher, coffee, repairs and tearing up the sky and explanations. Casey Neistat comes to mind. Needless to say but I'll say it, Killer video. Keep em rolling.
Great lens for the collection! Loved the pace of the second half of the video with an objective to complete. Keep up the good work
Awesome Tucker thank you for your awesome video and that new lends did the job
I feel like your videos are the only ones I look forward to watching. Like honestly it's so nice knowing I can go on my lunch break and have a good 15-25 minute video to enjoy 👌
Enjoyed as always, Thanks Tucker:)
Great video you make it look so easy!
Yay! Cool to see the DLG at the end.
Good to see some local flying vids again! Great vid!
Beautiful landings, thanks for sharing..
50mm F1.8 been a standard for decades. Super Awesome Video!
Awesome video bro
I enjoy the morning uploads. I'm on mountain time so there early for me and I can wake up with a cup of coffee and watch your new video. its great!
Awesome new lens bro!
Cool video Tucker! Loving your evolving editing style, as a user had mentioned before. I have a canon 50mm f1.2, and it's one of my favorite lenses. Tough to nail the focal plane manually though. Keep up the killer videos!
Sick shots as usual!! Nice DLG shots at the end!
This video is just gushing with energy.. I always love going back to it :D
Not loading. Last thing i heard was the sky quote. Luved it. Shoud ba a slogan. Wanna see it on merch
Nice depth of field with the lens. Adds a I nice subtle upgrade.
Tucker, that new lens has great depth of field, which really allows for follow focus work. Awesome job on the precision landings. :)
I Love these NJ videos
You got a nifty 50! (50mm prime) cool! I've neglected all my other lens for that one for the last couple of weeks.
Good video! I haven't watched it all but the first 2 seconds is good!
great editing this episode... the work shows :)
That tune is gonna be stuck in my head all day!!!
love the 50 and the videos 👍🏼
Just got my paramotor cant wait to get training!
wonderful landing
Keep them coming Tuck. I'm 68 years old and I watch every one.
50ml shots are good glass man. Buttery on the eye. Loved the candid placement shot of motor and people. Sweet. Keep rippin and mixin it up Tucker. Love love love the change of focus, both on content and field of view. Well done.
PS - I'll send you some Aussie Coffee beans. ;-)
enjoyed rhett and link’s shoutout to your channel on their podcast about bucket lists, i’d give it a listen!
I like that kinda eerie wind sound the wing makes when coming in motor off... at dusk, it's a bit fascinating when I watch other pilots come in to land after I'm down!
I want to see you do more sats!
How is this channel not at 1 million subs yet? Such good content
Sweet Mr. Gott!
I love doing patterns for hours just to try and smoke that landing perfectly.
great vids
Early squad, know its gonna be a good one before it starts....it's Tucker!
Jay Gundry You Gott that right
Hi, to fix your towbar slop, on the towbar itself dot punch a top corner angle about 1" in, drill a hole at an angle to take a bolt say 3/8, weld a nut onto that angled hole. Screw the bolt with another nut into the welded nut thread, fit the hitch and wind the bolt in until it meets the hitch tongue, tighten the nut to lock and you're done, no more slop.
G'day from QLD, Australia
Swooping a paramotor! That is some epic shit man hahaha I thought skydiving swoopers were crazy, you are amazing brother!
For the hitch I cut a piece of angle iron on 1 side leaving a small edge after the bend. Drill a hole through the hitch and pices of iron. Tighten with a bolt (with flat part on receiver and bent edge on hitch) and you will loose all play. If you need can send pic.
Good one T..................
Another paramotor video, another good day
Thank you
ahh those 50mm shots look CRISPAY!
Love discus launch gliders, though I'm not sure flying them at night is very productive since they are built for thermaling! :-) Would love to see a video on your DLG!
+Tucker Gott, love this video but a quick question - I notice that on your third run you show your trimmers which are almost (perhaps are) fully out? I always pull the trimmers on my Roadster 2 fully in before landing (beyond the white line), so I'm curious as to whether you're landing in full trim?
Function over form is always appropriate
If you put some sheet metal shims with holes for your hitch pin and tack weld the shims on top and bottom you,ll easily fix your hitch issues.
Nice vlog guys. Hey Tucker is your coffee machine a wifi one? Cause I saw you checked your phone for something while adding the coffee beans. Or am I wrong? Nice coffee making machine set tho. Hi from Greece (Greek coffee lover here) . Loving the vids/ adventures by the way nice.
Tucker, I have the same issue with the slop in the hitch. Buy one of these off ebay or amazon (Trailer Hitch Anti Rattle Stabilizer Lock down) Its basically a clamp that pulls up the slop in the hitches. This way you wont go rattling around. Fly safe! Robby
Hey Tucker, I am using the same hitch rack, with adapter.. What would you recommend to mitigate spar damage?
look at her doing the grunt work. shes the rock star!
Love this video,,my LZ since Dave bought the place(guy with the trike) May not have flown while you were trading. Are ya still flying?
Wow TH-cam actually notified me in a reasonable amount of time. Suh dude
Sah dude!
Just as I thought: Reporting on the times that Y T notification works properly takes less space than complaining about the times that it doesn't!
It works now okay - thanks :)
Tucker, put a couple ratchet straps from the front corners of the carrier up to the door hinges above. Put some pressure pulling up on the carrier to help eliminate the bounce.
Another happy landing.
Is the wing used for paramotors specific for paramotors or its the same thing as for example kite surfing or others? Thanks
Search "tune your ball mounts" on TH-cam. You weld right?
"If the sky doesn't exist tomorrow it's cause I killed it" that's a great saying man. New shirt idea? Or window sticker?
"If the sky doesn't exist tomorrow, it's because we killed it!" Sounds like a new T-Shirt.
I like the new camera lens. It's pretty clean. How much was it?
$250, it's no Carl Zeiss but I like it. :)
Tucker Gott dang. Not bad. It does look super clean at least on my phone. Great colors and contrast.
Damn that was a fun one. I can tell when you've had your espresso :)
Yo Tucker! You should come fly in Maryland bro!
Do a dlg Video! I got one last year it is so much fun!
What features or characteristics of the Scout 2 do you favor over the Tornado 280? It thought the safety features of the Scout might be part of the draw.
I think it’s safe to say that at least 80% of the people who watch this video have never been in a paramotor, nonetheless, a 2 seater plane or another personal aircraft. I think we are all just amazed by the thought that “THIS DUDE IS F%€&ING FLYING !”
with the broken spar how will it affect the torque compensation
How do you make that final turn so close to the ground. Without slashing into the ground.
TUCKER PLEASE READ THIS!
And if you do, pin this as it is imporant!
Today you made me scream at one of your videos.
I was shocked (no pun intended) by a video of you taking off under some powerlines.
As I work as a powerstation engineer and also fly a paramotor, it is my duty to tell you and fellow pilots about the risks of flying near powerlines.
I’m only 20 years old, but I’ve already seen 2 burned corpses of paramotor pilots.
One of them was a close friend of me in the community.
You should know that the air surrounding those cables can be ionised up to a few feet away from the cable.
When you took off in that video you swiped your wing over that line, this got me so mad because you don’t even know how lucky you were!
Please make a vlog about the risks of low altitude flying!
Random Stuff Yeah, that definitely wasn't the safest thing. ;) I would be curious to learn more about the types of power lines and in what cases a paramotor wing could fry the pilot.
Random Stuff Education is important but your comment does nothing to reassure me you have the credentials you claim! First your age; very few people are out of college with a degree and working in the field. Second issue, chances of one person your age in any field to come across two burned corpses from different incidents is greater than winning the lottery! Third issue, though stupid; his chances of death would have been greater from the resulting fall to the ground rather than the electricity flowing through the lines.
While I don't claim to have a degree like you; I have worked for two years cutting trees out of power lines for a company called Asplundh. Ever heard of them?
Even a child can see birds and squirrels on live high voltage lines not being fried. You need contact with a hot line and another hot line or a ground to get fried. The resistance in a paraplane wing and it's chords is too high when dry to conduct even very high voltage. Now if he got entangled shorter up with two or more lines it will conduct and maybe kill him. Not likely but possible. When wet or damp out the risk gets higher. I could feel the electricity through an insulated push pole when it became damp and knew I was far closer than I wanted to be. Now if you had lines made out of carbon fiber everything changes as that's a highly conductive material and your might as well be touching the wires directly. Your going to die. Bottom line, even if you know your lines and wing are built out of non conductive material never put yourself in harm's way. Even flying ultralights I made sure I have a couple of hundred feet between me and the high lines if I need to cross over them. I don't want to risk an engine out or down draft taking me out while crossing a set of lines so I stay high.
It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to know that touching a power line while airborne won't electrocute you. Birds do it all the time. I'd be more worried about a power line making me crash than being electrocuted by it. If you can get your actual body across a couple of lines, then you can get zapped.
I apologize, I indeed do not have a degree in engineering.
I am however a mechanic/technician in high voltage, my native language is French, I had not translated this correctly.
You are very true about the circumstances of a high voltage electrocution.
This is exactly my point aswell, Tucker got very lucky because of the way it happened.
My friend was supposedly (this is what the investigators had said) supprized by a sudden wind blow during take off.
This would then have caused him to drift towards the pylon.
He could not react fast enough so he entangled in the lines and made ground with the pylon.
I was an apprentice in the zone back then and had permanence (so I was called by my mentor to go with him).
We then found him.
The second one was similar, but he made a steering error and also entangled him in the lines, I had to de-energize the phases and had to go to the scene to make sure everyone was away to re-energize.
ten littleindians (adding to previous comment)
The chances of conducting electricity trough a wing/cords are as said very slim, but the fact that he took the risk is why I got mad.
You should never play with Murphy's law and that is the lesson I try to bring.
That DLG shot though! We need more R/C action in your videos ;)
awesome
"if the sky doesn't exist tomorrow, we killed it" would buy that T-shirt. (Pls ship to NZ haha)
What type of plane is hanging on your rafters in the garage?
As a former ag pilot, I know about the thrills that come with skimming the deck. Its addictive.
I think it is so cool when you fly low to the ground and zip over the treetops!
Its full trim out landing, super fast, no risk for collapse?
Did you build the DLG from an HK kit?
You are the Jeff Spicoli of the skies my friend!
What would be your best estimate on how much altitude you lose on a average barrel roll?
rippen video mate!
Which is best, left hand or right hand throttle?
Good stuff as usual, how come there's no sky today?
Youre also a very good cinematographer, did you make videos before you started this? Or did you become a good cinematographer from this? Just wondering haha
I’d like to see some thermalling action!
12:10 ". . . kick that little tree . . . AW! - that hit my ankle!" LMFAO
I cracked my miniplane frame using a carrier and doing run ups clamped on the carrier. For anyone making a carrier, take these issues into consideration and distribute the stress throughout the frame, not just the bottom portion
You have the new light motor / butt fan... Be great for Jac to fly..
Hi Tucker, what angle of view do you set your helmet camera? Is it 170 degrees or less?
It's set to wide and superview on a gopro 4 black. Not sure what that equates to.
What do you think of bailey 4 stroke
Damn bro,trimmers out haha!!! Greased lightning line and prop whistle was fuckin killer @9:25!!
The way Tuckers talking in this one, title should be how to master perfect landing while high on Tuckers special coffee brew!
the 50mm f1.8 lens is fantastic for full frame cameras, but for a crop factor camera a better lens would be in the 24-35mm range because the crop factor makes it feel more like "human eye" wideness rather than the zoom you get with the 50mm on crop factors. i can tell in the shots that the 50mm is too far zoomed to get shots comfortably. i do love the 50mm prime though, super sharp lens and so cheap best of all worlds just have to put up with it being a prime which is fine
