    Man, you guys are awesome! To have a wifey that is not only a wife, but a best friend and sidekick, is a feeling greater than anything other in my opinion. That's not to devalue anyones relationship, just my personal thought.
    Watching you guys brought many great memories! I am divorced, with early dementia. No matter what, those days will always be my days of grandeur! 😁
    Much Love Sent (Iowa)

    I haven't been on your channel for a while - I just have to say NICE friggin job on the new house!! Couldn't have picked a more perfect location on the planet! I couldn't even imagine waking up to those views every day. CONGRATULATIONS you two!! You guys deserve it!
    Very impressive engineering on that Skymax. Definitely an unusual design that will stand out in a crowd. Real nice looking! Can't get over how light everything is. Thanks for sharing, Mark & Alayna! Some great info here.

    Oh heres a hack for carrying a paramotor!
    If you put it on backwards, ie have the unit on you front with yiur arm through the shoulder straps it is sooooooooooo much easier to carry and maneuver in tight spots!

    I’ve owned the Skymax for a little over year. The torque compensation is very effective and brilliantly simple. I get zero torque twisting since I’ve adjusted the torque bar. My favorite flying is by the ocean.

    Hey Mark, @10:31 where I beleive the throttle cable goes through, it appears the cable housing is being pressed on pretty good, that is going to be a wear spot on that cable. It is where you say " it goes through that, I don't know what its called". Just an observation. You guys make some really good videos, not sure how much editing you do but I think an uncut channel would be cool.

    • @MarkHuneycutt
      @MarkHuneycutt  3 года назад +3

      Lighter weight, no venting so no fumes which means it can be put inside of a car and you'll never smell gas. I think maybe stronger on impact. There may be a video out there of them throwing it off a building

    Shit you guys live in NC mountains or is that just a random shirt? (I’m a new subscriber). If so, do you fly with Brook? Currently head deep in PPG learning and watching an unhealthy amount of content on the sport while I save for all my gear. I live in Charlotte area but my in-laws have a home in ashville. Even though there is a school 40min from my house (Mojo Flight School) I think I’m leaning towards Brook after speaking with him on the phone and hearing his passion and personality. Plus, even though 75% of my flying will be here, I think it might be beneficial learning in the mountains so I’ll be ready for those epic flights over there. If you have any input on either of the 2 schools I’d greatly appreciate it! Hopefully I’ll meet up with you two one day, look like awesome people. Stoked on this journey/sport!

    • @MarkHuneycutt
      @MarkHuneycutt  3 года назад +2

      We do fly with Brook. He's a good dude. I think Carolina PPG just announced they're starting to teach in Hillsborough and Brook is one of the instructors. We do live in Asheville. Mojo flight school should be good too. I know the owner Donald Obst and he is a great guy . Thanks for subscribing!
