RC Paramotor

- It was a steep learning curve trying to get this paramotor to work. From the variation in line length, to motor and CG placement, as well as the torque compensation blades!
I already had all of the parts laying around, so this only cost me the price of the wing. However, if you wish to build your own, it'll cost about £130 (if you already own the remote control equipment).

Hi! I'm the guy that made the rc paraglider videos on Sebastian Merino's youtube channel. Thank you very much for mentioning us! I love your assembly, it flies very well!
Hey Ivan! No problem about the mention, you guys saved me soooo much time haha!
@@TomStantonEngineering up.
@Marc Falcon resist
@片ヨし尸レ丹凵し卞 huh?
exactly. _100%_ right dude
i am an Industrial design teacher for 56 years. You are an amazing chap! love your problem solving skills!
Do a project with each other
@@rexthedragon305 Ooooh right...
I was about to add a similar comment! Very impressive!!
I'm an industrial designer myself and enjoy his problem solving, really shows the fun of prototyping :)
@@ed.puckett COVID 😠
Very cool! Nice work!
This channel should be compulsory viewing for all high school students. Excellent work Tom!
I'm still in awe at your tenacity. All those lines would be a nightmare. I can't untie my shoes without making a knot. Perhaps a prop cage would help. So I gotta make one suggestion. 3D print a rider and make his arms be the steering arms. Hope to see a follow up on this.
Great videos, Tom! Always enjoy watching them. You're always learning - that's the best part.
You do realize now HK will be sold of these for months! Absolutely brilliant Tom! I’ve been putting off or asking myself why I need a 3D printer and this may finally be it. I’ve been wanting to build one of these for ages but like you couldn’t see the price on most. Thanks for your work, you take all the kinks out for all of us.
13:51 "It does turn quite fast." And teleports too.
yes
it is called editing:)
@@antonyms9644 r/Whooosh
Tom, thank you for the terrifically interesting video.
Awesome explanation! Thank you very much! I have had one of these gathering dust for ages, this will definitely get me going. Great job!
Tucker Gott, aka the paramotor king of youtube, needs to see this!
Hey dude really cool video. I've been watching your videos for quite a while but never commented for some reason :) Been flying RC for about 15 years and paragliders for 4 years or so. Line lengths are critical to how a paraglider flies. I can see from your successful flight that even though it flies you need to lengthen your mid As as there is a big kink in the Bs. I know you said at the end that this is critical for the wing to fly so maybe the canopy isn't very well designed by hobbyking? I have a lot of paragliding videos on my channel but the "Servicing a paraglider" series might be useful to you on this. Also btw, I'm UK based so if you want to try groundhandling on a fullsized paraglider or even fly let me know, would be a good spring project colab :D yeah, the canopy pitching back when you put power on is normal.
Sorry for the random question but could a paraglider descend in a stable manner from a relatively high altitude if uncontrolled? Sort of like using the parasail as a parachute until the RC Craft falls below the legal altitude limit for RC Craft. I ask because i'm curious about if a paraglider setup could be used as a recovery method for a Weather Balloon Payload. Thanks!
yes would work as paragliders inflate and recover from collapses automatically if untouched. it would be potentially better for an application in which you want to control it to glide the payload to a specific place or direction. If you just want it to descend in a stable manner a round/square parachute would probably be better. Modern full-size paragliders get something around 10:1 glider ratio in still air so if uncontrolled it could end up very far away :)
Hey Andre! Thanks for the advice! I think the hobbyking wing has some flaws when in comes to the length of the lines, which is why so many people have had trouble with it. Just subscribed to you and will have a watch of your servicing videos. Whereabouts are you based in the UK? I've wanted to try a full size wing for a while, just haven't gotten round to it!
Tom Stanton Sheffield. We do a lot of flying in the Peak District, would be cool to do some groundhandling. Have some friends with tandems too :)
Wishing I was tom, I live in Sheffield lol.
putting a camera on a baseball cap or your transmitter itself makes shooting a vid a lot easier :D
Thought of that too, but he probably has a tripod for a reason.
I mean zoomed all the way in, the camera shake would be way too annoying without it.
hhmm the video quality makes me think that this is a bigger camera than a gopro or something.. probably wouldn't fit on a cap, and be too heavy :p
they make these wonderfull things called GYMBALS. some of them even have fancy self tracking abilities
@@jackass123455 that sounds lile a Stanton project. Make a minimum-solution of an aiming device and several aiming gimbals to turn every vid into a remote-initiated multi-camera setup.
I Velcro a key ring spy cam to my baseball cap, and record my flight. After a few try I got the hang of the angle I have to put the cam on. For most parts it works pretty.
As usual, amazing video. Super cool!
I have to say, i'm really impressed you got it to work so well! I didn't even know RC paramotor were a thing!
My favorite project so far. Let out a whoop when it flew for the first time. Keep them coming Tom.
that second test almost made me smile as much as you! well done
You've been coming up in my suggestions a lot recently so i decided to check out some of your videos, safe to say after binge watching about 50, I'm a fan! Great work man
Brilliant project. Well done!
A brilliant video Tom. I like the way you show solving the problem instead of us assuming that everything works first time. 👍
One of the coolest RC projects I´ve ever seen! Good job man!
This is spectacular. A 360 camera would make filming *WAY* easier
This is amazing! Very simple and elegant, will build it for my young nephew and myself :)
That is absolutely outstanding I can't believe it actually worked. Amazing achievement :)
I'm not even interested in RC aircraft but your videos are so entertaining
Remarkable job of overcoming the steep learning curve, and absolutely brilliant cure for the initial stalling issue! I'm new to your RUclips page, but am certainly a fan. I don't know, but a 3-D printer purchase may be in my near future, particularly with winter coming on! Thanks so much for your stellar videos!
Brilliant and so interesting to watch
Very impressive Tom. Congratulations on a super analysis and design solution
Awesome video. Great job explaining the different stages.
Simply brilliant, well done!
very cool, and it shows how the wing really is trailing, something you hear/are told but never see so drastic.
Amazing! I really appreciate your analysis and inguinity!
Hey so I had one of those. Mine was doing the same stall. It needed way more weight than I thought . I had about 1.5-2 lbs to get it to fly. It needs more weight to keep the huge wing tracking above it. Great model thanks for uploading
Finally, the first video of custom made rc paramotor with that hk 1.95m parafoil actually working. Thanks for the tip on the torque compensator thing. My friend has been trying to get this off the ground for weeks and couldn't.
Brilliant work Tom!
mind-opening, good job!
thanks for new tips and tricks at each time,
Congratulations on a great job getting that little paramotor to fly. Job well done buddy.
*Dance the Skies*
That is just so cool, amazing work.
Tom I started out adding your videos to various playlists depending upon the content, but then I simply created a new playlist called Tom Stanton! Legend.
Awesome project!!
Brilliant video, fantastic project.
Man, this is cool! You made it fly!
Wow man this is crazy! Congrats!
Excellent work!!
I am utterly impressed!
Good lad , fantastic perseverance and results
Fantastic work, man! Just amazing!
Thanks man!
agreed! unequivocally true!!
Very smooth! You did well brother!
Awesome project! Perfect realization!))))
This is sooo dope! love the videos Tom.
Speechless excellent work
That is so cool! I can't believe it worked out
Good job man finally getting that thing to fly correctly. That looked like no easy task...well done brother.
Nice job as usual Tom!
Thanks James!
Brilliant work Tom.
Well done sir! Great thought process, and execution of ideas! It was cool to see you work through the whole process. It would be fun if there was a small man sitting like a real man in the chair.
Beautiful project. Thank you.
this is the most underrated video ive ever seen.
Fantastic work, could never have gtten my HK foil to fly. You've inspired me to build it again, just joined your Patreon for the files and to support your awesome channel
Sick build mate. Well done 👌🏼
I've watched several of your videos in the past, but I subbed tonight. I don't know what took me so long, but I'm never looking back now
yeah but can you make it air-powered?
yessir
Grandiiiisimo Tom, buen trabajo!
Thats the coolest thing ive ever seen
Very smart guy! Nice build
Good work Tom, It takes a while to tune a bridle for a kite and the torque compensation blade worked first time and the foil is maintaining it's shape really well so it's flying quick enough.
You can steer with the left or right side bridle and not use the break lines.
Dude you’re amazing!!!
Duuuude I want one now lol, That's amazing
I'd liked all your videos I have seen for the brilliance of your mind and and creativity
Well done Tom...determination pays off..
My GOD you are bloody brilliant.
Brilliant, as usual!
Far out man that is sooo kool.
I have been trying for years to get the original HK Bella Trike to fly with no success.
I will scrap my Bella and use the wing on your design.
Thanks a bunch!
nice to see some one els trying a hk wing the biggest fold of the wing is are b and C lines being to close together creating a dip in the wing visible at the top when kiting the wing it's not a easy project try a few different setups even a EDF and a twin motors to counterbalance the torque look up rc AIR adventures have a lot of good vids how to build setup and launce a rc paramotor
Amazing work 👍
Another great video Tom! Keep it up.
It is so satisfying, how you folded out the parachute at 3:31
Nice, filming and flying went quite well! Nice job!
just found this video tom, you never cease to amaze, just one point on your launch, if you hold it on the bottom with the foil behind you, then power up the motor , the foil will inflate and end up in the flying position almost above your head , then launch it.
Wish I was there to film it for you! I enjoyed watching it fly so much! It flies so gracefully slow but is very satisfying to watch. Well done! 👍👍
Awesome.. nice work !
You young sir are a fantastic role model for the youth of today
Great job nice work! I really enjoy your videos! I wish I was as calm and collected as you! I’m taking inspiration from your chinook video and building one of my own! (:
Very smart to put your stl files on your patreon that's fair. You'll have a new patron soon.
Very invested in the things you do well done I love your vids man
You are great man... I got very inspiration from you... Thank you
Brilliant!!!
Thanks to you, I decided that this will be my first 3D project for my new printer. I'm using a 2.5m parafoil, so I may need to incorporate a little pilot for added weight!
Wish me luck, Cheers!
Good for you my friend for it makes me happy to see you happy in your endeavors . 👍
Just discovered your channel and I'm fascinated with your 3D printed Paraglider. You did an amazing job, cleverly thought out and glad you didn't give up on it. Be nice to see a MKII version with perhaps a GoPro fitted 👍
Trees, power lines, mud, molehills...what could possibly go wrong? Looks good fun though! Well done.
I used to fly a two man powered parachute with a 65HP rotax engine and a 65" tri-blade prop. The web straps are much longer so the chute cords are farther from the prop. Never had to lean. Could be the chute steering lines were tuned to compensate. Also had a gearbox between the prop and engine so they might have been cancelling. Not sure. The full size ones only go 30 mph and can't be flown in a wind much over 10 mph. Makes for a very fun ride. Nice job.
That is friggn awesome !
your videos are so entertaining!
Nice cat in the background
Great Job,it looks like fun 🖒
Congratulations! You sir, are my hero! I have a HobbyKing wing, tried powering it with a 2212 motor and never got it to work. Your video proves what I once thought was impossible - that HK wing can actually fly. Thanks for sharing the secrets of your success with us. I just might try to get mine working again or simply admire your video and enjoy seeing it fly.
Awesome! Nice job!
I emagine this would fly more efficiently on a warm summers day with the natural uplift of thermal energy.
Yep that’s how real pilots get lift it’s a technique used among many pilots
Great job Tom 👍👍
Great job tom
You legend Tom, I have had two of those parachutes in my cupboard for two years to do just this but I am just too lazy! Well done. Fantastic. Now make it a bit bigger for a flight controller!
Haha get out and fly em ;) Thanks Gary
