Awesome information for someone studying the subject of Paramotoring/gliding...Like me about to start training in a few months time these videos are gold. By the sounds of it you cant get enough knowledge around meterorology and what makes our Weather. So a massive thanks to Kyle and people like Kyle that un-selfishly share and create this information for people like me. Yes Im cramming info and reading from books but sometimes its nice to summarise what your reading with a video. Cheers Kyle much appreicated....
@kyleoglee Another fine piece of work. I believe many would benefit from a video on air space. I have met countless folks that fly and have no clue on what airspace is what. Think you could put that together? Green screen graphics would be amazing. Nav charts and such. Thanks again
Hey Kyle, luv all the great info. After checking out xcskies I was left a little unsure of how to summarize all of that data to insure I’m getting everything out of it that I should. It would be AWESOME if you would work up a tutorial vid about using that website and making sense of all the information it provides. Keep em coming!
Man, you are so lucky to live in a town that isn't a complete Nanny state. I fly from a park and the damn park rangers are waiting for me to land. I can't wait to move further south, but I've heard rumors about some Nanny activity near my new home in Charleston SC.
Alright Mr. Kyle O, I want to start a new trend. I want PPG pilots to start turning for thermals. Anybody that's either flown a few early evening flights when things are still active, or stayed out a little longer in the morning than they typically would have, has hit a nice strong lift core as they motor along. What do you suggest if a guy wants to start playing with the lift? Because it's a little different with the motor on your back. Speeds are faster, wing loading is higher, feel is less, so what's the best technique? Tip steer for least drag? Moving to a min sink brake input and a shallow mostly weight shift turn? Crank in some brake to make a nice tight turn to insure you don't loose the thermal? Fly on through it and make a 180 to come back to the edge? Let's talk about staying in the thermal (not ridge lift) with an idling motor on your back.
YankeeinSC1 so awesome you asked this! I'm making EXACTLY that type of video tomorrow! Good soft winter thermals to keep the rust from forming on my summer skills! Look for it in a few weeks I hope!
Good videos as always. At what time were you taking off to compare to the information given. It's difficult to find information about Weather and Paramotor together. Many thanks!!
Kyle, sick video as usual. Video idea: I'd love to see some information about how far away mountains or larger objects should be before flying 'behind' them. Winds here are regularly out of the west, but there's a good 3000-5000' set of mountains 8-12 miles out that direction. Our typical rule of thumb is, if it's windy enough to reverse launch, it's usually too bumpy to fly. Do you think it's do to those mountains? Something else in our area? I'm having a hard time finding mountainous flying information online. Thanks man!
I tested the waters in this video. I remember the winds were 14mph over Casper Mountain, and I was 2.5 miles downwind and at roughly 600 feet. Took some collapses. Watch here th-cam.com/video/qS8VNHrJe1I/w-d-xo.html
Im a new pilot and this informational videos are great, thank you for that. I have a couple questions. What's considered to be low or high pressure? I mean by the number, because right now I look at the barometer and I cant judge it. So the high pressure means thermals are weak? So its save to go flying midday when in high pressure? Could you talk more about clouds and name them while showing pictures of them. And explain what they mean.
Hey Kyle O', Do you buy the streamers for your wind pole or do you cut them out of some material? ! I have a couple 14-16' Crappie Poles I'm converting for poles. Just need something for the ends of them. Thanks for the advise on the wind!
Hi Kyle, I fly powered parachutes and another site I use for winds aloft is www.ryancarlton.com/. The site is for hot air balloonists and gives a much more granular look at the winds aloft than the aviation weather forecast. It's especially useful at the lower altitudes where I usually fly (2000 AGL or lower).
Ok, I've dumped some weather knowledge on the internet. Now, I can get to some good old fashioned flying videos! Of course, it looks flyable tomorrow!
Thanks Kyle for the info , and I will try not to use the F word anymore !
@@johnhancockFenix no need to stop using it, just in the appropriate places ;)
Fuck Yeah 👍🏻

Another class with Professor O'Glee. Thanks man.
Getting my KOllege Knowledge today in weather, thanks man, great stuff as always!
That was a Good One Kyle O!!! Thank You for Everything!!! Especially the weather education!!!
Love the Future Kyle O! What a crack up!!.
Very informative without over analyzing, thanks dude. ✌️
Tom Kubat dude you need too put more videos out, just sayin
@@tonymarzano2220 love the love love brother 😊✌️. And I'm tryin, believe me haha
Ahh flying is about flying not videos just sayin.....@@tonymarzano2220
That's cool to see that wing fly !
That was a great video. I learn something from everyone of your videos. Thanks Kyle.
You should add links to the web sites you use in the video description! Thanks for another great video Kyle!
Bwa ha ha ha love Futurama !!! keep that pic for all future talk lol
Great importance video
Really enjoy the information you're providing in these videos. Keep it up.
I love the Futurama head in a jar Kyle!
Pretty informative. I think you should have sent it again though.
Thanks Kyle, really appreciated.
Thanks Kyle for posting these types of videos. I do enjoy them and find them helpful.👍👀

This is great. Thanks!
Lot's of good information Kyle. Great timing, especially because we have been doing some more rough weather flying lately. Thx man!
Awesome bro.
Fantastic mate thanks
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Really like your videos.
So much to learn. Thank you for doing these. Learning a lot.

N2 DaAIR filmed it today for you. Coming soon!
Great video Kyle. Newbie here, finding weather and windspeed info is helpful. I'll add those sites to my weather check routine. Thanks and Rock on !

Love these videos definitely going to share it!!!
Can you do a more detailed look at how you use xcskies?

A few weeks?!!! It's not like you need the right conditions to fly that green screen. Fire it up :) O.K. I'll be watchin'
Good videos as always. At what time were you taking off to compare to the information given. It's difficult to find information about Weather and Paramotor together. Many thanks!!
Launched at the peak of the day.
What is the strongest winds you can fly in? And have you ever been caught in a lightning storm?
flight simulator 16mph is my PB high wind, and no, I avoid T-storms.

Jordan Suarez no, high pressure means thernals have sharper edges. Pilot skill determines if it's safe or not.

Kite streamers on amazon. Like $3
Yup thanks for doing this but no i shouldnt do it. Ha. Least not now. Thanks again kyle.
I think your a better pilot than you give yourself credit for.
