Maybe my arms are short but it's hard to reach high enough on those outside A lines. I have to scoot my hands further along as I pull them down... I am 6'1" soooo
Mark, it's a good thing you're trying new stuff, but those wingovers were super uncoordinated. Please be careful. I just subbed, I want to follow you on your journey. I dig your vids man. Please bring us along often!
I guess its one year later and you know by now how to do it ... But in case anyone wonders, I experienced the same problem. (youtube: watch?v=IOC9lJhP0ek) The solution was that I didnt brake the upper side of the wing enough, and instead of 'slingshotting' me around the wing, the wing flew ahead too much and then collapsed because of it.
Liked the video but damn, you were sooo close to those power lines on launch and then when you veered to the right it looked like you just missed them! Scared me and I was just sitting on my couch watching... Your crazy dude!
Good job Mark, that's why I got the Velocity Edge Wing, they are so forgiving and super stable.You need to add some power on your wing overs as you rock it in to the final pull. Now you have to practice the full stall next.
Is it ok for the wing to take from asphalt and concrete? Most vids I see people doing it from grass. Unfortunately where I live I don't have many grassy areas so I may be stuck taking off from solid ground and I don't want it wrecking my wing.
Mark, would be great when your practice your wingovers if you would describe the technique involving weight shift and power control . Congrats on your first big ears. l've read your can pull both A's at the same time vs. one at a time. Have you heard or read that? Thanks
Tim C. That was my goal for them to both come down at once but as you saw it's hard to reach those outer lines so they came down unevenly which wasn't an issue
It's not big ears, it's smalls ears. For big ears, you need to pull down TWO A lines (2 on each side) and not just one line !!! But I don't know if big ears are possible with paramotors
Wow! one year, Doing Big ears. IDK going to solo my first this coming week. I cant imagine purposely collapsing wing with that little time. Peace out. Love your Vids.
I did big ears during training after just a few flights :) With instructor supervision from the ground of course. They are super simple (especially with split A's) and quite safe. Not the same as wing collapse.

Kyle O'Glee I can't say I've been versed on proper technique so it's trial and error right now

Brian Visser haha I know those lines pretty good
Hey. Mark, that looks like the Hendersonville airport. I use to instruct out of there. Great video and tell John that Billy Graham said hello!
I know John well but not Billy! that's funny

No one ever comments about how they wanna fly a paramotor but I really wanna

Phillip T Kane I yea I'll have to try those
Just subscribed, enjoy your flights...I have a pilot license, but that looks lots more fun!...
What a difference a year makes!
nice! I have split As on my green Elektra which make big ears easier to grab and pull. always intimidating to do though the first few times.
Robert Schaffer yea it wasn't scary at all. it's just inconvenient on that wing
Hey Mark, Checking out some of your older vids. What size wing did you start with, and how much do you weigh?
Is it ok for the wing to take from asphalt and concrete? Most vids I see people doing it from grass. Unfortunately where I live I don't have many grassy areas so I may be stuck taking off from solid ground and I don't want it wrecking my wing.
what was the speed?
Nice vid Mark, thanks for sharing.
Nice, Cheers BigEars!
Congrats on the Big Ears. One more box checked off on the skills list.
Long Walking yep!
Nice! Blue Skies!
Awesome job with the big ears.
PPGFlyr thanks

Do you have cruise control on the throttle for cross country flying?
Bob K Aka Coder Bob nope
LOL. "Woooo..." :-)
nice fly
👍
Mark so am I correct in assuming you trained with Ross?
Iron Horse Musings yes
Are you on Twitter or FB?
Iron Horse Musings no I am not
OK well if you have a few minutes email me at ironhorsemusings@gmail.com.
How long have you been Paramotoring?
Warren Hayes pretty much one year this month or next

Easier way to do it pull them down together real hard get bigger😂
Watch your wingovers, your timing is pretty bad. Seems like your late on the turn every time and surging into your turns. Be carful dude.
Sam Gaffney for sure. I've gotten the same advice. thanks
Mark Huneycutt good, nice channel just subbed
Sam Gaffney appreciate it
woot first comment
