Hi Hoanfimtran. Quite a few people said to me it looks like E.T. Lol On a nice calm day it is lovely to get up there, the views are amazing. I flew it 70km one evening. Here's a link where I was at about 1400 feet having a blast ruclips.net/video/A3Z3ZXLvf28/видео.htmlm43s Cheers Gerry
Wow! I am a powered paraglider pilot, but have not flown in a while because of cervical spine issues. I get numb in the arms and have pain in the neck/shoulder blade area around my spine. I need something similar to fly now. Thanks for sharing this flight of success. Great to see ya fly!
What Is Islam? Islam is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him
Hi Tyler. It's certainly very green here and all the cows/ cattle are grass fed so lots of the country is covered in it. I need to fix the motor so I can get back up there. Cheers Gerry
Tyler Willingham excellent job, a man after my own heart. Are you happy that the wheels are strong enough for the job? I was thinking that kite buggy wheels would be stronger and broader than the ones that you are using presently. The only trade off is they are a smaller diameter so more susceptible to ruts in the grass Thanks for sharing
GerrysDiy, Great job!! Amazing!! I have so many questions. What size engine do you have? Where did you get the prop? Is the frame made of steel? What size parachute did you use? Absolutely amazing!!
Agree. They don't call it the Emerald Isle for nothing I guess. Beautiful countryside. You certainly have a wonderful place to fly (when the weather cooperates I would guess). Good video.
Hi Samson. I needed to change a couple of lines on the ppg wing and now that I have the lines sorted out I am waiting on a nice evening or morning and I will take the trike up for a proper flight. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Well done, I could feel your excitement and slightly nervous reaction a i can say is it made me as if I was the one flying your machine.. i miss when i used to race motorcycles and that video gave me that awesome on the grid 2 stroke smelling feeling wich I have not felt in years. Thanks so much 😅
Hello congratulations again, I followed your flight was very quiet and beautiful I fly over 35 years and I know well because in the end you were so happy, soon I'll be flying with mine, copy of yours, a big hug for you straight from your Brazilian admirer
I want to get into paramotoring. Thank you for posting this, I know now that on takeoff, one should not let go of the throttle, until they're a little way up, you may have saved a fellow Irishman from across the pond from breaking his legs.
Would ya have another plumber who flies paramotors and a trike over and have a lovely flight with ya!! 😂.. looks bloody beautiful!! What a beautiful country you live in..I need to get across to meet ya for an xc to the beach!!..🤣😊👍🏻
Hi Dean. There are only a couple of schools on the island that I know of. Check out the guys at Ulster hang gliding and paragliding club some of the lads fly ppg and also Eddie on the link below on youtube. ruclips.net/user/derrycityparamotorfeed . There is a ton of stuff on the paraglidingforum.co.uk My advice would be to spend some time talking to the lads and chatting on the forums before spending money. If your down Wexford direction give me a shout. Cheers Gerry
Hi Deliverance. It's not pretty.lol but great fun to fly. I have a much better view in the second flight test here ruclips.net/video/d2PQIldAbc8/видео.html Thanks for the comment. Cheers Gerry
You should have built the front wheel like a castor. Fixing point forward of the wheel. So even if you feet come off in a landing it will always align facing forward.
Wow! that was a great ride. That tricycle device works really well. You have a seat to sit in and a place to rest your legs. You can even get higher in the air, cruise around and enjoy a sandwich with some chips and a drink ! Give us some more videos.....
Hi D Hansel. Thanks for the comment. On a really smooth day it's possible to fly to a couple of thousand feet, switch off the engine and glide for a few minutes with just the wind. I never thought of having a picnic up there but I think that I will give it a go soon. I have to fix the engine before the next flight but it is on my todo list. Thanks for the comment. Cheers Gerry
Brilliant gerry,, just seen you on close calls on BBC,, and myself and partner just watched some your videos,, your very inspiring 👏 especially for the Irish 👍🇮🇪
if you changed the front wheel to trailing it's easier to steer the trike you know like a shopping cart at the store the wheel will follow the motion of the trike and is not so touchy and a foot loop over your shoe so your feet say on the steering without slipping off during takeoff which could be very bad other than that great job having fun thats what it's about well done
Hi South Paw. Thanks for the comment. This trike is a health and safety nightmare but it flies well and cost very little. It was fun to fly. Over the winter I will be making a fresh trike but not from scrap. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Hi Simon. I haven't flown in a little while but I did manage to fly the trike 70km one evening. Its very rough and ready but I was smiling for days. Thanks for the comment. Cheers Gerry
Thanks John. I am hoping to fly the paramotor this evening if the weather holds and tomorrow the paraglider from a 400m hill in Wexford. Thanks for commenting much appreciated Cheers Gerry👍
Hi Louie. I have done some Skydivingi in Oregon and I thought the place was gorgeous. I was on a beach in California in January in a tee shirt. That doesn't happen here in January but we get a lot of rain to keep all the stuff green. Can't wait to get back in the air. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
I will be down for a visit soon Gerry. It felt like I was taking off with you. I could feel the nervous adrenaline in my hands. You know the buzz you get just before take off. Unreal super achievement.
Hello Mr. Tidy. You are more than welcome to come over. I wanted to do a few flights but lost the phone and then found it again yay. More flights soon. Cheers Gerry
I'm almost done with my trike. Just need to mount the seat and have my main hang straps sewn. None of the paramotor nor glider manufacturers will do it so I convinced a fabric shop I am making suspension limiters for a rock crawler. I'm maintaining the use of a full harnesses but the load will be on the trike with quick releases Fresh Breeze Style. So far I have $35 bucks in it for new tires and tubes
Amazing!! Congratulations!!! What a fantastic achievement! I marvel at your skills, ingenuity and bravery. Well done, Sir! You are in a league of your own, and I applaud you!
That's was amazing. There was a small part of me that thought any time now he's gonna say just kidding, I'm not gonna fly 5 dollars worth of scrap! Well done!
Hi James. If I had some sense I would have just looked at it in the field and thought back to the pile of scrap it started out as and went home. Lol. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
That's great!! So where's the other $6995? You just proved it! I'm tired of carrying mine around too. thought of a "trainer wheels" approach so feet still on the ground, but not sure how that would be set up hehe. Well done!
Hi John with a little more height and a brighter evening the views are stunning. This is rural Ireland with no street lights but amazing starry nights and lots of landing possibilities should I have a motor out. I need very little space to land but I need to land upwind if any obstacles not down wind as they create rotor that can collapse a wing. It can be amazing on the right days. Cheers Gerry
Hi Jod. It's funny that makes 4 people today that suggested the same. When I suggested it to my wife that it would be great to have a tandem trike and that she would be able to see amazing views, she laughed, smiled and said NO..lol Cheers Gerry
Hi MGTOW MAP MAKER. It was cool, I thought something might go wrong so I kept things low and slow but the little paratrike behaved beautifully. A few more short hops and I will go XC. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
I'm going to have to try to resist your paramotor videos in the future for fear of finding myself embroiled in yet another all consuming passion. This just looks VERY addictive, and very tempting as a novel approach to my daily commute.
Hi MGTOW MAP MAKER. I did a bit of skydiving for a little while but I really liked the soaring after I opened the canopy. I thought that I would try paragliding and I actually get to go back up using thermals which can be amazing. Being 6000 feet or more over the country side with a few mates on radio can be so much fun. We leave the cars parked and soar until the thermals kick off and try to climb in them and get to the bottom of the clouds. Once there we leave the mountains and go as far as we can. We can't see the thermals but we can feel and hear them you could be climbing at 1000 feet per minute or more. You're right it is addictive. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
I saw a chap say safer way to hold the throttle where the lead comes over your forearm from the outside - it is less likely that the lead will get caught in the prop when you move and positions the cutout and accelerator much better in your hand (eg not squashed so you have to be a thumb contortionist to get at it) Nice job!!
Hi John. I will be making more flying videos this year. The engine on this trike is seized but I am getting the parts to get it in the air again. Here's a longer flight but ended in a seized engine at 1500 feet. ruclips.net/video/GekmNBKY2S4/видео.html Cheers Gerry
Hi Jerry. I am waiting on new Brake lines before I can take it up again. The wind here is forecast around 30mph all week so no flying this week for me. Hopefully I can get those rims up a couple of thousand feet next week. I'll be better set up next time with cameras too. Cheers Gerry
You are a mad man Gerry! (Thats a compliment in Australian ) Love your work mate. And I thought flying a drone was scary haha, must have been a thrill.
Hi Shane. Thanks .. I really enjoyed it and would have loved to fly more yesterday but I spent 30 minutes or more looking for my phone which ironically I had put in flight mode. I couldn't call it to at least hear where it was. Anyway a few more take offs and landings and I will bring it up a lot higher and head off across the countryside. Cheers Geerry
Ahaha excellent almost vertical take off,and all the time front well on the ground.Excellent. Next time on the start full power wing up -balance power rolling and check wing- power and UP. This small sequence give you time to coll head before flying hahaha.
Hi Poli. I need some more practice Lol. I held back a little on the power to rotate the wing through the prop wash and I thought that I could have just one foot on the wheel but when I went to full power I needed both. Not too bad though for my scrap little trike's first time out. The centre of gravity on take off and landing felt perfect and things just felt a little heavier in the air but made no difference to controlling the wing. I could easily make a nicer trike from stainless tubing but I will fly this contraption a little more first. The weather is not great for a few more days but I will get it in the air again soon. Thanks for the comments and advice. Cheers Gerry
Great job. Do u smoke or just nervous? I would be. I can understand the joyous laughter. I sure do wish u had a buddy on the ground getting that perspective.
I thought you meant $5 for the whole thing, can't say I'm not a little let down, I could probably find a couple wheels for 5 dollars, but looks fun, can't wait to find a whole one that's affordable someday
Hi Justmadeit2 . If I was bright I wouldn't trust my welding. Lol. It was fun to fly it though. When I fly the paramotor I foot launch and land on my feet too so I am used to landing softly and converting the speed to lift just at the end. I will do a few more low level flights one after another and check all the gear. If at that stage things are ok I will take it to a reasonable altitude like 500 feet and go cross country. On a sunny day here it can be really gorgeous. Cheers Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Cool. I'm about to tackle replacing the drum bearings on a washing machine, and i thought that was a big job. That's small in comparison to your inventions/work !
Hi Ted. To be honest I was expecting issues and that I might have to abort take off. I was delighted to get off the ground but I kept it at low altitude for that flight. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
Hi Iron Horse Musings. I just foot launched my paraglider wing and flew from some mountains yesterday. It's cool to fly without engine power, just looking for thermals and working them to get high. I only managed a little over 10km and 1 hour flight time but it was great fun goofing around at 3600 feet . I took some video so that will be live in a couple of hours. I will be flying the trike later this week if the weather improves.Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Hi Artist Group. Its just beginners luck. That was the first time I flew a trike but I had a bicycle for years Lol. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Very well don Sir! a joy to watch and especially the in flight vid. as it really shows what paramotoring trikeing is like from the air :-) Many thanks.
Mommy... mommy... I Just saw a flying wheelchair!
That's good son. Did you watch E.T. again?
Hi Hoanfimtran. Quite a few people said to me it looks like E.T. Lol On a nice calm day it is lovely to get up there, the views are amazing. I flew it 70km one evening. Here's a link where I was at about 1400 feet having a blast ruclips.net/video/A3Z3ZXLvf28/видео.htmlm43s Cheers Gerry

That wahoo when he landed was so wholesome
I WILL PAY YOU DOUBLE FOR IT !!! whole 10$

I built my house for $5. I already had everything I needed except for ten nails.
And a wife

What is your house made of if I may ask?
🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
Y’all really don’t get the joke
Man, the grass in Ireland is beautiful.
Hi Tyler. It's certainly very green here and all the cows/ cattle are grass fed so lots of the country is covered in it. I need to fix the motor so I can get back up there. Cheers Gerry

Everything in Ireland is beautiful!!!!!
Dude this is impressive. I'm thinking about doing a custom build as well. Keep up the great work!
You ever build one?
Nice job! Make the front wheel center by itself by springs, and limit the turning to around 45 degrees or less, much safer! Cheers
on the trike I built I used the front wheel at 90 degrees to hold it place while the enjine was running before takeoff.
Congratulations. Could see that you were alone on the field and managed everything well. Nice video, enjoyed watching it. Happy landings
Hi Samson. I needed to change a couple of lines on the ppg wing and now that I have the lines sorted out I am waiting on a nice evening or morning and I will take the trike up for a proper flight. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry

Hi Gregory. I did a bit more flying this week but without the trike. ruclips.net/video/aLxs5G0Rvjs/видео.html Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
Looks like a converted wheel chair, great job.

I felt the emotions.
Better than 6 Flags!!
Dang that engine is smooth
Nice pickup and nice landing
Brilliant gerry,, just seen you on close calls on BBC,, and myself and partner just watched some your videos,, your very inspiring 👏 especially for the Irish 👍🇮🇪

Roy Taylor yeah, that front wheel made me nervous.
Great! :D Went as a breeze. Very glad i worked so smooth!
Thanks!
Hi danthefrst .. Pure luck lol Cheers Gerry
Absolutely awesome video! Thanks for some paramotoring inspiration!
Spot on Gerry that’s given me the inspiration to build my own version keep up the inspirational work 👍
"I've never flown a paratrike before"
God bless The Republic of IRELAND!! :) Sweet video brother! Keep em' comin'!!
Hi South Paw. Thanks for the comment. This trike is a health and safety nightmare but it flies well and cost very little. It was fun to fly. Over the winter I will be making a fresh trike but not from scrap. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
That was awesome Jerry
great upload, that looks like fun mate, cheers, good on you mate
Looks like fun. Stay safe.
gREAT VIDEO -- AFTER ALL THR CHATTER IN BEGINNING. sAVE THE MUMBO-JUMBO FOR THE LAST. yOU ALMOST LOST ME. well done!!!
Wow. That looks like fun.
The sheer enjoyment you got out of the flight makes this a great video
Hi Simon. I haven't flown in a little while but I did manage to fly the trike 70km one evening. Its very rough and ready but I was smiling for days. Thanks for the comment. Cheers Gerry
Congrats Gerry , now you need to build a two seater hint hint. lol
Ray
Hi Ray. I might look into a 2 seater. For a scrap project it worked out really good. Thanks Gerry
Awesome I’m a fixed wing pilot I like your short takeoff and landing I’m going to have to give it a try
Wow! That was super cool! I felt like I was actually flying! I think I want to do that!
Very nice job, and very nice home. What a nice area.
Thanks John. I am hoping to fly the paramotor this evening if the weather holds and tomorrow the paraglider from a 400m hill in Wexford. Thanks for commenting much appreciated Cheers Gerry👍
Beautiful flight
Awesome Gerry.
That has to be about the simplest powered air vehicle in existence.
Bravo from Jonquiere in Québec in Canada
good work on the trike. beautiful country. can't wait to get up in the air here in california, USA
Hi Louie. I have done some Skydivingi in Oregon and I thought the place was gorgeous. I was on a beach in California in January in a tee shirt. That doesn't happen here in January but we get a lot of rain to keep all the stuff green. Can't wait to get back in the air. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Very nice! Watch the wires :D
I will be down for a visit soon Gerry. It felt like I was taking off with you. I could feel the nervous adrenaline in my hands. You know the buzz you get just before take off. Unreal super achievement.
Hello Mr. Tidy. You are more than welcome to come over. I wanted to do a few flights but lost the phone and then found it again yay. More flights soon. Cheers Gerry
Thats Right SAFETY - FIRST - You Got Me HUNGRY for FLYING .. FLYING - Home MADE : Para - Motor
I'm almost done with my trike. Just need to mount the seat and have my main hang straps sewn. None of the paramotor nor glider manufacturers will do it so I convinced a fabric shop I am making suspension limiters for a rock crawler. I'm maintaining the use of a full harnesses but the load will be on the trike with quick releases Fresh Breeze Style. So far I have $35 bucks in it for new tires and tubes
Well done!
Amazing!! Congratulations!!! What a fantastic achievement! I marvel at your skills, ingenuity and bravery. Well done, Sir! You are in a league of your own, and I applaud you!
Hi BuckeyePrepper. You must have posted to the wrong channel or got your meds mixed up Lol. Thanks alot for the comments Cheers Gerry
Nice. I'll bet you're pretty jazzed. Now I gotta get me one. Lol
Nice Job! This worked Beautifully! Awesome Views! Congratulations on your New Ride!
try makeing the frount wheel facing back wards so you have more controll at landing and self allines
That's was amazing. There was a small part of me that thought any time now he's gonna say just kidding, I'm not gonna fly 5 dollars worth of scrap! Well done!
Hi James. If I had some sense I would have just looked at it in the field and thought back to the pile of scrap it started out as and went home. Lol. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
That's great!! So where's the other $6995? You just proved it! I'm tired of carrying mine around too. thought of a "trainer wheels" approach so feet still on the ground, but not sure how that would be set up hehe. Well done!
Incredible point of view of the pilot video. Outstanding!
Hi John with a little more height and a brighter evening the views are stunning. This is rural Ireland with no street lights but amazing starry nights and lots of landing possibilities should I have a motor out. I need very little space to land but I need to land upwind if any obstacles not down wind as they create rotor that can collapse a wing. It can be amazing on the right days. Cheers Gerry
Looking forward to watching the video. Slainte!
Hi John. I hope the weather plays ball next week. Cheers Gerry
Hehehehehehe, it worked, Good Job !!! Now you need a 2nd Chair, so you can swing by my House and pick me up! Can we bring drinks too and a Dog? LOL
Hi Jod. It's funny that makes 4 people today that suggested the same. When I suggested it to my wife that it would be great to have a tandem trike and that she would be able to see amazing views, she laughed, smiled and said NO..lol Cheers Gerry
WOW ......I saw two things here
Real geek
stunning view well done
well done sir!
I Would love to have a go.
nice build
1970s there will be flying cars in future
2019 the cycle is flying
That looks like an absolute blast!
Hi MGTOW MAP MAKER. It was cool, I thought something might go wrong so I kept things low and slow but the little paratrike behaved beautifully. A few more short hops and I will go XC. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry

Excellent video, thumbs up.
Hi John. I will be making more flying videos this year. The engine on this trike is seized but I am getting the parts to get it in the air again. Here's a longer flight but ended in a seized engine at 1500 feet. ruclips.net/video/GekmNBKY2S4/видео.html Cheers Gerry
great job..nice work
Good job 👍👍
Nicely done, great to see that you kept the handrims for that authentic look, haha!
Hi Jerry. I am waiting on new Brake lines before I can take it up again. The wind here is forecast around 30mph all week so no flying this week for me. Hopefully I can get those rims up a couple of thousand feet next week. I'll be better set up next time with cameras too. Cheers Gerry
very ingenious
Nice fly ! and the view is beautiful . Come to fly in Argentina you'll love it !
That is bad ass.
Wow that was cool
You are a mad man Gerry! (Thats a compliment in Australian ) Love your work mate. And I thought flying a drone was scary haha, must have been a thrill.
I'm glad it was not made in Germany so good !
Haha nice one Gerry fare play 👍
Hi Shane. Thanks .. I really enjoyed it and would have loved to fly more yesterday but I spent 30 minutes or more looking for my phone which ironically I had put in flight mode. I couldn't call it to at least hear where it was. Anyway a few more take offs and landings and I will bring it up a lot higher and head off across the countryside. Cheers Geerry

Love trike flying, well done! Looks like you removed the outboard arms from the wheel chair less to smash you in the face on a roll over
I really enjoyed this I was laughing while you did it, nice landing build my own stuffs by myself is my dream ongoing NICE JOB DUDE!!!
Great job. Do u smoke or just nervous? I would be. I can understand the joyous laughter. I sure do wish u had a buddy on the ground getting that perspective.
beautiful !!
Nice trike! And gorgeous area (so green!).
Hi Trapine. There is no end to the grass around here but we get plenty of rain to make it stay green too. lol. Thanks for commenting. Cheers Gerry
That takes nuts bro!
Excellent!
I thought you meant $5 for the whole thing, can't say I'm not a little let down, I could probably find a couple wheels for 5 dollars, but looks fun, can't wait to find a whole one that's affordable someday
Great Video, Love Your Spirit of Adventure, My grandmother was from Ireland....
Makes me want to build one
Hi That 1 Weasel. It's lovely up there. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍
Brilliant I think you should have someone with you incase of accident, well done.
Amazing, you're a bit of a genius at making things, and B. You're extremely brave on this one.
Hi Justmadeit2 . If I was bright I wouldn't trust my welding. Lol. It was fun to fly it though.

Thanks for idea. Ur the best. I almost make it for 35$
Wow nice interesting.. who else wishes to have one like me😂
Nice work Gerry...Some sort of steering damper might help on that front wheel and some foot loops
Wonderful bit of footage!!!
Hi Ted. To be honest I was expecting issues and that I might have to abort take off. I was delighted to get off the ground but I kept it at low altitude for that flight. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
Great video, well done! The one I am considering is $3,200 without wing or motor!! So very impressive!
Hi Iron Horse Musings. I just foot launched my paraglider wing and flew from some mountains yesterday. It's cool to fly without engine power, just looking for thermals and working them to get high. I only managed a little over 10km and 1 hour flight time but it was great fun goofing around at 3600 feet . I took some video so that will be live in a couple of hours. I will be flying the trike later this week if the weather improves.Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Sure glad you know what your doing, that was thrilling to watch.
Hi Artist Group. Its just beginners luck. That was the first time I flew a trike but I had a bicycle for years Lol. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Very well don Sir!
a joy to watch and especially the in flight vid. as it really shows what paramotoring trikeing is like from the air
:-)
Many thanks.
