Tucker, I've been watching you and subscribed to your channel for a few years. Well, finally I've got enough balls to go ahead and go for training. I wish you start your school... I'm your student for sure.. Thanx for all your knowledge and information you provided to this community!
Hey Tucker. Good on ya for showing newbs how it goes. Hey, I used to have my own method of entering a horseshoe, grab both centre A lines, as high as you can, gently pull them down. The center will collapse, the farther down you come the tips will fly to the centre. From there to turn you weightshift left to go right and vice versa. I’m not acro instructor of pilot for that matter. Was just a fun move I came up with that was fun. Was on a more advanced wing. So I Bagheera. Yep it was a while ago lol. Cheers
Please don't risk your life, seriously, think about how your family could be. You are giving so much knowledge that helps your community be safe, and I'm quite sure, you saved so much lives without you knowing that. Be safe
Your by far the most interesting paraglider flying I am in Bradenton fla and very much enjoy your post I own a Italian restaurant so when I get time I follow you thank you keep up your excellent work
Planning to learn to Paramotor - that's the wing for me! As a private pilot, kinda freaks me out to see you maneuvering at low altitude right at the threshold of a runway. I guess it's a very low-use airport, but can't help but imagining a plane on short final...
I'm glad you made this video. I've been thinking I would like to try this out. I can't afford an airplane but this seems to be more my speed. I've been watching videos that are making cross country trips and it really gets me pumped. I know these paramotors are not fast, but it seems much more enjoyable at slower speeds. I've also thought about an ultralight plane. I'm still studying it out in my mind. Again, thanks for the video
Moxie, a patent medicine drink originally introduced in 1876. It has a long Hx and is still in production. Interestingly, the colors on the canapoy are similar to those on the can! A wonderful tribute to the past!
As a low hour pilot, my training taught me to to put Carabiner opening to outside so the load is not on the closing mechanism. If you look at the way the load pulls apart the risers that makes sense to me. I see some pilots do it one way and some do it the other. Thoughts?
I don't think it matters, as the carabiner can settle to either side. What I've found in my testing is that any cross load, regardless of if its on the gate side or not, significantly reduces the failure point. Keeping the carabiner square is the most important part, but a lot of carabiners are wide while the risers are narrow, so it's almost impossible to keep it square. The good news is, even with them cross loaded, the failure point is way above what you would ever encounter. I have a video about it here. - ruclips.net/video/E9eqsiKPpFg/видео.htmlsi=r5iTru6XBzgE3Byn
It makes a big difference seeing how the wing performs in emergencies and what the wing is capable of doing performance for advanced pilots who will eventually move up.
That was a great video! The section on the various asymmetric stalls was really interesting! I found it amazing that it was flying with so much stability with half a wing! And in reference to your response to the first comment , it looks like you 7 left.
A wings are great for learning. I still have my first glider, have had it for sale but nobody wants to buy used en-A paraglider wings, sad because it’s a wonderful free flight wing, and not a cheaper one, it’s got 52 cells and is very efficient and kinda sporty for the class. But now that I’ve stepped up I don’t fly it. But in SIV it handled asymmetric and frontals exactly the same, very benign.
As an airplane pilot, I'd love to see a video where you talk about airport operations in a paramotor. I see you and others using airports, which is 100% fine for me, but just curious how you keep separation from aircraft. Do you have a radio we don't see or just stay outside the expected pattern for aircraft? Thanks for sharing. The Moxie looks like what I need if I ever fly paramotors in the future. lol
always wondered this so I'm going to finally ask.... what is the advantage to how you catch a breath in flight?... like taking a big hit off a joint... just curious. :)
It would! For a lightweight trike specifically. If you are looking for a heavier trike glider, the MojoMax and RoadMax are trike specific and come in bigger sizes.
@ I’ve looked at those, my trike is light weight and I’ve found moxie going 2nd hand with just 10 hrs on it at almost half the retail price, as a beginner I was hoping it would be ok, I liked the safety side of this wing especially for beginners. Cheers tucker 👍🏻
I commend you for practicing some basic SIV publicly. More people need to be less afraid of doing safe-ish maneuvers in safe-ish conditions. There is always risk-- I believe keeping in touch with that risk keeps you out of true peril. Would highly recommend gloves though, pulling on lines or getting a tangle around a finger or hand during a reserve toss can cause some damage. I got a bruised wrist from a toss, amazingly nothing else.
Thing to remember is that he's at the home airport of Aviator's school. There's going to be people on the ground with air band radio helping advise any incoming planes, and signaling any paramotorists of danger. That said, the east/west(ish) runway is the primary runway at that airport. It's longer and wider. The north/south runway is smaller and in poorer condition, so is not going to be the preferred path for incoming GA traffic. The large field south of the airport is rather separated from civilization and the preferred place for pilots to rip it up in the area. Aviator has a video from a few months ago on their channel where Eric Farewell gives a quick primer on the do and don't fly areas around Lake Wales.
Okay so I skydived a couple of times. I loved it. But para motoring is what I want. I think the freedom is awesome, like a bird. I will buy a wing first and then take lessons, with my own wing. This wing seems to be a good choice for my first one. Richt?
That's pretty stable, such a contrast to my little acro wing haha! I just bought a new DaVinci Rhythm 2 and am really wanting to test it with some moves but will have to wait for water ;)
After watching a few too many PPG crash videos..I talked myself out of getting into flying PPG’s….after watching this video….”Are you telling me there is a chance…?”
I'm with you! It's just not worth the risk. Living as a quadriplegic would suck. Rather die and that possible as well. Same as you the crash videos was all I needed to see
I get where your coming from trust me,I spent over 13K on brand new gear,flew twice,and sold all my gear fearing death.After couple years passing I now am considering getting back into it.Life is dangerous period,anyone of us can have terminal cancer growing inside us as we speak. I'm kinda tired of being afraid of life.I think if you get training, stay on an A wing and NEVER fly crazy there's very good chance you'll be just fine.
Given the change from the Mojo 1 to 2, I feel like they're targeting the Moxie at schools and training specifically, where the Mojo2 is more for a first wing afterwards with a bit more headroom.
Do have any wing and motor recommendations for bigger people? I figure any setup that could handle tandem could handle me but I'm 6'5" and 300ish lbs so I imagine standard harnesses probably aren't going to fit.
Another very helpful video Tucker. If you don't mind me asking, what helmet are you using? Looks great and the sound seems very good. I have the PPG Smoke headset (latest version) and I have to do a lot of post processing in my video editing to get the sound to be any good.
Thanks Tucker first of all for the 2 T shirts I received last week order I’ve got one of these moxie power in the uk as my 2nd wing and still not tried it yet but I think this will be great when I buy my new parajet Mav max Efi soon. Great to see this review , keep up the awesome videos . 🪂
I have to ask out of my own curiosity. Is there a point to testing the wings like that? Seems like a potentially dangerous predicament to put yourself into on purpose. Or is it no different than airplane training with cutting the engine, recovery, etc.?
@@TuckerGott work to do what, exactly. Good to see you can't define what winglets do in simple terms. If you can't define it, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

@@TuckerGott interesting. So when you purchase a new propeller I assume that you have to make sure it's designed for the correct direction of spin, yeah? A company should come out with a dual coaxial propeller for paramotors to eliminate the turning due to torque. Do you know if anyone has tried?
@@jakehelfrich3756 Yup, every prop is specific for the engine, reduction, and diameter. I don’t think anyone has done coaxial, just side by side or quad configuration.
You have found the glider for me, possibly forever (or until one better comes out) Now I just have to find the 10-15K for the glider, motor, and a local flight school. Edit: Wow.. that sounded bad, I didn't mean it bad! I want to learn to fly so I am going to save for this. Can I learn paramotor at 56? (or more likely 58-60 since it will take some time to save the money)
There's plenty of people getting into it passed mid-life. The trike option even gives some leeway for those down in the body. I'm about to go into training and turned 40 this year.

Thanks for reviewing this wing! I was wondering how the Moxie would compare to the mojo pwr 2. It's great to see the technology keep getting better.

The experiments you did with the wing assured me that a paramotor glider is very safe, and that it can withstand a significant amount of gust. Thanks.

Can you do a review of the Limitless paramotor please? I see now they're adding those little torque compensation thingies

Sorry to butt in your comment. But has anyone heard from Kyle O? Is he doing ok?

Love the fact your showing that it auto corrects itself. But, man like others have said balls of steel
have you ever flown out here in Pahrump, NV ? or is it toooooo close to Area 51?
So what's the downside of a better beginner chute ? Slower over ground coverage, etc ?
Less efficient, less responsive, slower, less dynamic.

Me to fly. But problem is how would i get certified? Or is certification really needed.
Tucker, you should open your own paramotor school in Arizona
Brooooooo look at those arm muscles!!!!
it's my dream to have one of these when im older
Newb question: does a docile wing like this behave the same way whether the collapse was induced intentionally like this or by turbulence/wind shear?
The glider doesn't know/care what caused it to collapse, so yeah same outcome.
I have to ask out of my own curiosity. Is there a point to testing the wings like that? Seems like a potentially dangerous predicament to put yourself into on purpose. Or is it no different than airplane training with cutting the engine, recovery, etc.?
Tucker would you recommend this wing for beginner XC ?
For beginners, yes. For XC, no. It isn't made for XC, it is very slow.
i don't fly, but i've always wanted to know; are clouds cold to fly through?
Yes. And moist like really thick fog..

I find on the Mojo the A is pretty hard. The Moxie I find is super easy and I dont trust it

I've been watching you for several years as well, have you ever taken a full collapse that you weren't prepared for?
Good morning!
This is something I haven’t done on my paramotor and don’t plan on doing ever. I don’t have that much self confidence😅
