awesome video as per usual Tom!
Oh hello guys
Whoever was flying the drone, very nice shots. Extremely well done.
Niiiiiice ! As a paramotor pilot I like this project a lot :) A couple of remarks though: you should maybe redesign slightly the way the wing is attached to the body to allow a modification of the position of center of gravity versus attaching points for the wing. This will also allow to fly with one battery only when there is no wind. In this case, wing attachment shall be moved to the back a little. Putting more weight increase your speed but also increase a lot the stall speed. When too much weight is hanging, your stall speeds equals your max speed (or is very close) and it becomes difficult to fly. One test to do to confirm position of CG, is to attach the body as it would be under the wing, but attached to a fixed bar. Put the same amount of throttle as you would need to fly on level and confirm that the propeller axes are pointing slightly up (in the direction of flight). This is the optimal setup where your motor decreases your load factor on a leveled flight. It decreases also the risk of stalling when you fly at low speed and go back on throttle.
I was wondering if you could create a dumb AI to help with thermalling. Detect a consistent tug on the right wing-tip? Turn right etc... Would need drone style collision detection to avoid turning into terrain beside you..
So, air powered RC Paramotor next?
Why_are_there _no_names I would love it
Ha,flight time 3 seconds
Yeah but with dry ice in the bottle!
You'd need a far more rigid container. Something like aluminium. It adds to the weight, but that doesn't really matter I think, since he stated that he needed more.
Also, the geometry doesn't have to be a cylinder. It just needs to hold a lot of pressure. The dry ice would't be able to supply a large enough constant pressure I think.
I bought a paramotor kit a couple of decades ago.
As I recall, it flew surprisingly well, if - and that was a big if - you could get it airborne. It could take a fair bit of running up and down the local airfield to get the wing to catch just the right amount of wind to generate enough lift. By which time half of the battery had been used trying to get into the air, so flighttime was pretty short.
But even so, I got fond memories of calm summer evenings, seeing the paramotor fly slowly around the airfield as the sun was setting.
Would love to see you return to this one.
0:44 British weather is the reason why Britain has so many inventors. When millions of people are forced to stay in their sheds for most of the year, tinkering is bound to happen.
Great video. I have actually had one of these wings for several years and recently purchased a wheeled unit with a large single prop but have not been able to get it to fly by taking off from the ground. Your method of launch seems to work quite well. I haven't seen anything close to what you printed anywhere. A really good solution. Thanks again for the video.
Wow! Build montage, rain disappointment scene, and right when I was feeling sorry for you dealing with the rain, you go and fly a real ac to the coolest RC spot on earth! Awesome!
i instantly recognised that landingstrip as being of madeira, Awesome to see you going there
dude you are an INSPIRATION, keep up the Great work
Very good to see a followup where things go better! I was very excited to see the first video and it seems like you really had a good time making/designing the paramotor :)
Nice work as usual, Tom. Looks like a great holiday in Madeira, as well.
Yes that's Madeira. Cool video
You can recognize it by the extended landing strip of the airport
this man was so tired of the whether, dude really just left the country XD. Really great job on these original ideas. I really commend u man
Those over the cloud shots at the end were so awesome!
Awesome idea using two motors to cancel the torque! Nice work
Hi Tom,
I think building a small scale prototype of some sort of AWES (Airborne Wind Energy System) device would be right up your alley, and a really interesting project.
There are a bunch of different technologies competing in the field, and a lot of early ideas from the 70s having recently seen new light because of advances in autonomous systems. And with google backed Makani having just finished testing of their 600 kW flying wing, things are definateley happening. Also think inspiring people to se mechanical engineering beeing put to use to help the climate is a good thing.
Just an idea. Like your stuff on yt.
Best

Love the heel click
Man those clouds over the hills and valley is cool
Very cool, I wonder if adding a tricycle landing gear would help keep the lines from getting tangled during landing. Could do some ground take offs too
Great job Tom. Your learnings and transfer of this knowledge is extremely helpful
Cool! Loved the montage at the beginning
And the one at the end
awsome work . love the new v2 . and the drone footage
You could be the first one to do infinity tumbling on an rc paramotor :) great video as always dude!
OMG. you are the man. what a story told. and such beautiful video. just amazing. thanks for sharing.
This is a perfect format for your videos - quick music montage at the beginning, details to follow. Nice editing on this one.
Excellent project! And... what a beautiful place you live in! Great!
Been really enjoying the content Tom since subscribing - you do what I’d call ‘interesting clever’ - Well done 👍 keep it up my friend
This is awesome - the paramotor projects are the coolest
I wonder what FPV flight would be like with this. Would it be super jerky and vomit inducing, or would it be a fairly okay ride?
it shouldnt be worse than small light wings, but surely not as stable as a quad
Nice video. Your 3D Prints look awesome! You should do a video where you explain how you set up your printer and the slicer.
Nice flight and nice place to fly
The perspective in the first montage was really cool, without knowing what it was, it could easily be mistaken for a full scale paramotor! Great video dude
Nicely edited video. Enjoyed everything about it. Nice job!
Wow, so surprised one of my fav youtubers went to my country. Good shots with the drone!!
Dude you took this to the next level! Awesome montage and such dedication, keep it up
Loving the moody new style. EDM forever!!!!! Well maybe just for a bit!
I would love to see you put differential throttle on it. It will give a whole new level of control I guess
GREAT!!! Tom you out did yourself.
Sick spot, that drone follow footage is awesome too!!
Glade to see you have success with your project, next you have to master the air powered motor!
I love your channel. You have always great projects going on.
In case somebody doesn't know the epic song from NCS used at the start of the video, it is : Raven & Kreyn x Moji x Illusion - Dream Forever :)
Btw great video as always, i'm so impatient for the next 3D printed air motor.
Xxtrengt 88 thanks, chief. Saves me from having to Shazam it.
3:33 turn on english captions🤣🤣🤣
"Rich and Poor people getting married" Ahaha xD
Nicely edited, you are becoming a pro at making these videos :)
Nice work on everything in this video (the Paramotor and the video montages!)
If the weather sux, you go look for the good weather. I like your mentality! ;) :P
Not sure if it was intentional but you made some baller Pulfrich effect shots in that music montage.
Have you thought about putting the A and B ring at the front of your battery tray and the C and D ring in the back? Maybe it will stabilize the flight and it could gain more speed. Would be interesting to see the result. By the way,- nice and interesting videos! Greetings from Germany
great scenery photography!
damn, those last few shots were great..
V3 will have a replaceable motor mount 😉
Great work 👍
You should add these parametor videos to a playlist on your channel, it is very hard to find these. I actually found your channel though someone else’s channel that you were on with your paramotor, low and behold, it’s not even your a major part of your channel! Lol Great stuff, keep it up 👍🏼
EXCELLENT job on the paramotor and beautiful drone shots. Well done Tom.
*Dance the Skies*
Really awesome work, dude. Fantastic! 😊
Amazing editing in the beginning of the video man!
I would redesign the chassis thingy for the best efficiency and looks, slap a gimbal, an efficient motor and a big battery on it and make it a filming paramotor, a paracam.
My ocd couldn't handle the missing two screws, but nice video once again!
You could make it wider by making it in three parts the prop structures could be dovetail jointed and screwed to the central battery compartment in two positions each.
You should mount a go pro style camera to that. Then you could get aerial video with a very compact device.
You should make an fpv gimbal to mount to the top surface with head tracking, that would be awesome! :P
Love your work Tom! What a rippa!!!
Nice video Tom. You were lucky to have a low wind day in Madeira. Used to fly passenger jets into there and it was always fun!
The first few days were very windy! Judging by the landing we had, you must be a very skilled pilot!! Thanks
Tom Stanton not really, just lucky and a good blagger ;) Love your projects, looking fwd to snagging myself a 3D printer at some point, got my eyes on the alfawise u10.
best video yet
I'm a big fan and think it truly an amazing young man. I look forward to all ur posts. x
Madeira is beautiful, even after all the forest fires. Also
PORTUGAL CARALHO
Happi to have downloaded this being a patreon getting frequent new update from you. think this design should be more durable than the V1 which the shroud break easily, prop too, servo horn getting damaged
Best video to date tom. Really enjoyed it!
Hey Tom. With an real size glider with a span of 1000 cm (10meters) you can have a powered payload at 170-210 Kg (Engine+pilot). So if you have an 1.95meters glider u can have up to 2.8 Kg. With your engine+batts is almost 900grams its to little wight. you need atleast 1 kg more to have an even better flight. Just so you know.
Tom got artistic with this video! Nice job!
Cool, you went to Madeira, I live in portugal, actually lived most of my life on the island group more north called azores, but I went to madeira as part of a school expedition. Beautiful island.
if you havent yet, and plan to go back, you gotta try the wooden sleigh rides down the tarmac road, I believe they are built on top of some sort of metal sheet. but anyway, that ride is so fast for haven virtually no controll over it. xD
Fantastic !
Why not setting the controls to make a difference in throttle between motors ? It could use a mix between difference of torque (of propeller) and a difference of thrust. By this mean you could turn without adding trail to the wing.
Could be helpful to fight against wind.
realy nice video love the idea of taking the plane for testing the paramotor these little jokes makes your videos great 😜
you should try doing a single rotor one with aerofoil spars like a scout paramotor, that way you get no tourqe and dont need the weight and complexity of two props
Freakin cool video Tom!! Awesome work
This was an amazing video. I love this format, starting with a music montage showing off the topic of the video, going into details of it, then ending with a music montage again. Also, I've never heard that song before, but I love it lol. Going to look into it on my spotify or maybe stuff similar to it.
Got to try to put fpv on the paramotor but u that wood be sweet
Nice video and good research, once again!
Good job. it seems funny to use
nice video and landscapes and nice project!
Awesome video!!! Instead of additional battery... add fpv camera!!!
I'm not sure you want the centre to stall first. Usually on a ram air aerofoil like a paraglider you want the tips to collapse first. But I guess this is single skin rather than double skin so perhaps different?
I have been sick for a long time.... but I am getting better and in preparation I bought a few parachutes... two 10 meter chutes and a couple 7.5 m square parachutes.... so I can make a really big wing... so... wings can be made with a series of tubes instead of putting the wing shape in a single layer. . So the air passing through a tube travels a shorter distance than the air going over the top. . So it develops lift proportionally
Great video, I considered this cheap HK wing so many times but could never find useful videos and info on it and it's vices so this helps. So as an aircraft engineer skydiver and wingsuiter I have been rather critical, I don't think harshly so but critical none the less of your rc wingsuit attempts and really saw problems you hadn't as well as offered solutions I think. On this I noticed some of the same, you've identified how we trim our canopies/wings via the lines and you mentioned the trim you rigged which causes the center cells or center part of the wing to stall first, you mentioned though that in full size rigid wing aeronautics they employ this concept by having flaps located closer to the root but that is incorrect, the flaps are located at the root because it is the strongest part of a loaded or flying wing and aerodynamically it would make no sense to have your flaps outboard and ailerons inboard as you can imagine... although there are STOL types which employ full span flaps where the ailerons droop with the flaps but still retain the ability to asymmetrically roll the wings, a very effective system at low speeds but little to do with stall suppression or management .
What you identified in your para wing is in a rigid wing called 'washout' where the wing employs a subtle (2-3 degrees) twist from root to tip so that the positive AOA at the root is twisted out to a negative incidence at the tips. This causes the root to stall first and the tips to keep the wing flying so that the stall gets riden out essentially, other methods quite effective are stall strips on the leading edges, vortex generators strategically placed given the wing design and wing fences installed about half span which control spanwise flow and lower the stall speed. We are experimenting with systems and devices such as VG's and spanwise flow fences on our performance ridge soaring or ground launch wings and canopies and as someone obviously interested in the science of flight you may use your wing to do the same.
I'd love to see what you come up with and get feedback on your findings. What you refer to as a tip stall we can instantly correct under canopy with toggle inputs so it's a rare issue but what we often encounter are 'surges' where the canopy out flies the payload powered or not and essentially loses lift and the far deadlier canopy collapse which is surprisingly common in our sport where the balance of pendulum under loaded wing is upset to where the wing folds in on itself, this usually occurs in aerobatics or tight turns and kills as it is almost always unrecoverable but with your model I would love to see you push that envelope and experient with recovery methods - you could save lives!
Lastly having a twin motor setup would you consider differential thrust since a large proportion of our control is influenced by body movement and CG shift, recreated easily enough with differential to allow tighter turns and better control of the canopy? It will better coordinate your maneuvers for sure and again your findings could be invaluable to us full size fliers who are keen to experiment but not at the cost of safety - I can totally see a viable twin setup on full size. Happy landings mate!
Madeira is beautiful!
Awesome idea!
WOW, great images
nice vid. got me thinking.
Ow look, my island. I hope you liked being here :D
Amazing job.
Great vid
Please follow up and show us more of the wing in flight and experiment!
best video i ever see bro .......great work
Awesome!!
Another great project , are you going to upload the stl files ? I would love to try the build myself. And thanks again
for sharing your great build
Tom maybe you can use a propeller with a bit less thrust because then I think it will fly better
That was awesome footage. Wish the drone laws here in Canada were not so draconian. I'd love to get into this stuff but there's not a lot of legal places to fly. There's a field in front of my house where it's technically legal but it's a small area.
awesome! well done!
Awesome!!! Love your vids
can you attach a pilot chute to paramotor´s wing to make it look cooler or some smoke emitters, a message banner would be great too.
I'm 2 minutes in, and wow. Just wow. Great footage.
