- Thanks to Gerry for the suggestion for this content! Flying alone after training can feel a bit over whelming so here are a few points to consider as you leave your nest and venture out into that huge playground in the sky.
Also a short discussion about progressing into an Intermediate wing for cross country flying. As always thanks for watching and fly safe!!

Great video! This is exactly where I’m at in my flying adventure. It is a very uneasy feeling the first time you are going to fly alone, and not at the field where you’re first flights took place. You create this safe bubble there, and when you have to go somewhere new alone it’s definitely uncomfortable!
Good video, beautiful place.🙏
Thanks . Very useful tips. Waiting for a good weather to go flying ( a bit nervous)
The stuff sack tip was one I never considered....
I like the sound your getting for your vocals.It's like I'm listening to a flight instructor in my headset. :)
Thank you very much for using my suggestion for a topic. Just got back from a few more days of flying with my instructor so feeling a little better about going on my own. Thanks for making this video.
This is a great video and it will help a lot of new pilots stay safe! This is the kind of videos people should be making more often! Great info sir
Great info! I just came back from training a couple weeks ago. All the various paramotor videos on RUclips make it look very easy. I even went into training feeling a little bit like it wouldn't be that hard to do. I was completely wrong. There is an incredible amount of information overload when you learn to fly. It feels like you have to do a dozen different things going on at once just to get in the air. By the end of training you are feeling pretty good about yourself, then you get home and its a completely different experience. You no longer have someone in your ear telling you what to do. "Let go of the As, more brake, less brake, lean back, move left, move right, more power, lean back more, more brake, keep running...". Once you get back and have to do it all by yourself, it is very intimidating, almost scary. You lose that security blanket of having someone telling you what to do. When I got back I had an incident and banged up my motor a bit, all because I didn't do those things correctly that you learned in training. For the majority of new paramotor pilots, don't expect that once you get done with training you are going to then be able to rip around the skies like all the well known people you see on RUclips. That is an unrealistic expectation.
Lots of good advice
I hated my training field, was not condusive to students. I am still training but I changed locations
yes cant wait to start my training I just got a fresh brezze monster motor
Patrick. me too! I feel safer and more confident since I left the poor training field.
A good training field should induce a calming effect for the student , or at the very least not add any anxiety, in that you should be able to take off in any direction with lots of time and no fear of hitting something. I was worried about many things at last field - trees in that direction , corps in other, power line in another and Hangers on the other. If you were lucky with the wind you got the sweet spot down the "mostly" open direction of the air field. That was my case with my 1st, and so far only take off at last field July 10th - we have change fields and eager to get back up as it took a long time for the last group to sign off on our 1st flight to the new instructor.

Cheers, Patrick
I was wondering why I hadn't seen any Fly Guy vids in forever and realized I wasn't sub'd. I thought I was. Anyway I love this vid. Keep putting out content man. You do a great job. I think I've told you this before but I saw your vids before I saw Tuckers so you have that going for you and I was the second lucky dog to win his training giveaway. Cheers bud. I would love to cross paths and fly together some day.
Oooh thank you for the tips. Always taking bits and pieces from the videos. I like the bit about taking a light weight stuff sack for your wing with you!
Thank you so much. You make me feel very comfortable in what I'm about to do. Happy skies to you my friend.
Nice video! Thanks
Yeah once I’ve trained I have no shame in getting the easiest, safest beginners wing! I just want to fly 🤗
I recently crossed this hurdle. It was a little unnerving on the first flight but my training field was not a very good spot for new students. Trees close by caused issues with rotor and only provided takeoff options in two directions. Good advice as always!
I'm still loving that intro! Great vid!
This has the same amount of views as your subscribers lol.
Absolutely good video. A lot of good info for the beginner,liked it very much. First time flying alone is a big thing for new pilots.
Well done Sir. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Once you get licensed and your out on your own? What license are you talking about? The last I heard there was no license required there for if someone gave you a "license" its a useless piece of paper
The Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) outline the requirements. Unfortunately we fall under the the Ultralight permit requirements to fly a Paramotor in Canada.
Can you tell me how I can get Kangook parts in the states.
RSUltra will not sell me parts because there is a dealer in the states.
The dealer in the states hasn’t returned a call, text or email.
info@kangookusa.com
So you need a license to fly in Canada? I live in northern MN just an hours drive from the border. I use to go up there lots
YES
I see that a lot of folks are starting to create similar content on this subject of how to continue to advance, likely out a frustration of seeing flying buddies give up flying, or watching the disastrous results @ fly ins demonstrated by plateaued & newer pilots. Educating at this critical juncture became a goal of mine early this season, especially once I felt like I'd reached basic proficiency myself. You've covered a few points here that I was planning on touching on in my own new series on the subject and I'm sure I've got some ideas very few have even given any consideration to, that I wouldn't mind discussing with you. We should do a collaborative on the subject using a Skype call.
YOU'RE NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE A LICENSE FOR THIS SPORT, TRAINING ISN'T MANDATORY EITHER BUT IS A GREAT IDEA TO HAVE !
steven murphy Mr. CAPITAL..this is Canadian,the world is not all American.
Thanks for this video. I’m going to training in a month at Midwest ppg I am a smoker and worried about all the running I gotta get in shape to make it through training lol. I have the Kangook Viking without the reserve holder on the top of the cage. Have you had any problems with the gaps in the cage netting? It worries me I am going to come up with a way to net mine I have heard of people getting their break toggles and throttle cable sucked into them.
Great info!...............thanks for sharing!!
what parts and tools would you keep on hand when you go flying? would you bring any with you into the air?
RCcunuk usually only a couple zip ties and a small screwdriver in the event a carb adjustment is needed, anything beyond that is walk home
Spark plug.
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
At 8:35 I like "Gotta Run That Out", Yep. At 9:02 you say to fly with the easiest inflation wing, I haven't flown yet, which wing would you suggest for 70yo 230lb? Thanks! - Mike (Good Videos, Thanks!)
Thanks for making this video, I found it to be inspirational. I'm up to 76 flights. Thanks for reminding me that it's a playground, and that while I need to stay safe it's okay to relax and enjoy. I have an A rated Mojo PWR.
hi just a quick question when your flying the dudek wing you have one carabiner the left side in normal and the right carbiner in the little black loop is that some kind of touque compansator if so how does that work as ive got a dudek synis 29 cheer mark also love the videos you do very helpfull
Very nice video.Thanks for sharing. My ground training finish.Tomorrow start first flying.
A NEW VIDEO! WTF I didnt see it in my sub boxes! Ugh youtube...
Super video, thank you for your time and effort. Really enjoy your patience and explaining to us newbies. Thanks again
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video- nice work!
Thanks for the advise! Safe Flying
I never understood why so many pilots hang their toggles up so early off the ground,climb out is very critical and you could get wacked just wondering?
Enjoying The Sun 577-Jersey Customs not sure what you mean by ‘getting wacked’ climb out is from motor thrust not brake input
Many pilots fly inland and have fields that are surrounded by objects and trees,if you have a 5-7 MPH + wind you can get bumped around pretty good,also have seen some real sporty air on climb out to the point we had to circle low turn around and land immediately.Having hands ready to keep pressure in the glider is a must for me till I get up a bit higher.No disrespect at all toward ya i was just curious as to why so many pilots do the same thing.Ive seen them let go alot lower than you.
Peace.
