#ppg #paramotor #poweredparagliding #flying Some of my takeoffs over my first 2 years of flying and how they have changed over time and with my new BGD Luna2.
Thanks, those reverses were done during training 2 years ago. Haven’t done one since. Not much opportunity for them here in the NE. If it’s windy enough to reverse it’s probably not safe flying where I live.
@@pharmphlyer I fly in NY so I know what you mean. I primarily only forward launch myself. Im gonna get a week of beach flying soon but I’ll be doing a lot of kiting to get used to it again😂
I think I am about where you were at 1:20 in the video. Slightly awkward transition between running and takeoff. Love to see your improvement to a more natural, pleasant looking transition. There is hope for me.
You will get there. Just keep practicing. Every flight you learn something new. We all still have our days. I had one just this week. Nil wind launch, slightly uphill in clumpy field grass. I tripped, had to get off the power, recover back into my lean, and get back on the power. It was a horrible looking launch but came out fine because I had the time and space to recover.
@@pharmphlyer Thanks. During training (on a NV dry lake bed) I had the wing catch a serious gust from the side while running at full speed and took a spill to the right that really hurt. Nothing broken on me or the frame but the prop took a small nick that my instructor fixed with superglue (Filled the nick). Made me a little more afraid of that phase of launch. My wing is larger than the wing I trained on and with a little wind, I don't have to run as fast or far. I still dread the zero-wind launch. I am looking at adding the trike add-on for my Parajet Maverick so I have that option. I sometimes have trouble running as I am 57 and had a skydiving accident 25 years ago that left me with damaged ankles and some soreness after I run on them. I wanted to ensure I had the ability to go to trike without having to repurchase everything.
I have never seen this activity before. What's it called? I'd love to see more flight time and some explanation of what's going on. Thanks for making me aware of the sport!
You are doing great. Go ahead and enjoy. thank you for this video.
4:47 where he cleanly leans back while rolling on the power, almost brought me to tears, good job brother.
Great job! Loved seeing the progression. You look great now.
Good stuff!
Thanks!
Nice progression, your reverse launch technique was very smooth!

Podziwiam, że chciało Ci się wszystko nagrywać, zbierać i montować ten film. Chyba więcej czasu poświęciłeś na ten film niż na naukę latania.

This sport is called paramotoring
