I’m so pumped for you man! I love the paragliding but need some spinning blade of death in my videos. I was hoping someone would step up and help you out while you’re serving your country overseas! Loren and Shannon are amazing pilots and great people. Great to have them as a part of our community. I’m fortunate to be close to them in Florida. Thanks Four Winds, more Huneycutt is good for us all.
I got one just like it. I trained with Lorren and Shannon back in April, 2018. They are VERY nice people. I think it has a unique sound compared to the Air Conception I trained on. Those individual quadrants on the netting can be replaced individually if needed. You didn't get an electric start; no problem, it can be converted. Also, the throttle is in your dominant hand and it doesn't have that "spikey" feeling the Air Conception has. The only drawback, it is a bit heavier than an Air Conception. I think Shannon bought out Eric Dufour's wife and has all of her equipment, so, she can make repairs to wings, etc. I had a really good experience with 4 winds' training; that Lorren is a STICKLER for groundhandling. His son Matthew is a good pilot as well. So, Mark more flying videos! Great video!
Exciting!! I’ll be ordering my PAP Tinox soon though I wish the EFI was an option. I actually just cancelled my Scout Carbon EFI order. I tried a friends PAP and I can’t believe how comfortable it was. I’m a newer pilot , trained 21 months ago and have 170 hours, all on my Scout. Bring on the Tinox!!
Nice machine, Mark. I'm sure you're going to have a good time breaking in the new beast. I just had a wing inspected by Shannon at Four Winds PPG. Great experience!
Congrats Mark and. Happy belated BD. I could see how much you were missing the motor. Happy you solved that. More vids from S Korea in our future, yeah!
Your flying my motor! Ha. LORRAN has great patients and training skills. Yep its nice one and shannon for sure is quick and good at what she does all overall but yeah her wing shop is great. She fixed up my torn wing in a jiffy and sent back to me quick ! Great vids mark. Thank you.
That is so awesome man! Very nice of FOUR WINDS PPG. I met them both are the last Palm Bay fly in. Very friendly. Let me know what you think of that setup. I've been looking at it. Currently fly the miniplane with the moster 185plus but I like that frame setup. ENJOY!
Dude, so happy you got a motor for over there! Never seen that setup before; very interesting. Can't wait to see more and hearing about your comparison against the Nitro 200. Happy Birthday!
Congrats on the new ride man. Haven't flown myself for months due to a hand injury but looking forward to getting back in the air. Looking forward to seeing more videos
Hey dude, nice video! I've heard your changes of surviving in the sky are zero, unless you have a flattop and a dominator ;-) Like to watch your videos, your enthusiasm is contagious.
Nice! I like that PAP design. It looks easy to break down and pack. Let us know how you like it. Yeah, I've been thinking about Four Winds training for awhile. Did you train with Lorran?
I'm coming from the Nitro 200 so I like the power upgrade. The PAP harness has a nicely padded harness on your back, free flight like airbag on the bottom for safety, phone pocket, plastic windows for tachometer - all things I've never seen on other paramotors and it is because the harness is a custom Supair harness made for PAP. The transportability for the PAP is awesome. Breakdown of the hoop is super quick and the flat arms help as well. It has a few features built into the arms to help with torque compensation as well as the torque strap. Throttle is better on the PAP due to the clean routing and cruise control - a feature I've used a bunch in my 9 hours of flying it. The gas tank is easier to fill than most motors because the fill port sticks out the side which means you can use your standard gas cans and not solely the ones with long hoses (My buddy Greg was throwing out his gas cans because his Paramotor gas tank is hard to fill with them so I said "nooo let me have them" and I scored two free gas cans). It's a well thought out paramotor.
BTW, Lorren was able to break that thing down and pack it in the trunk of my car with my wing and helmet. Not that you would need it, but, it also converts to cart launch as well. I believe Matt Minyard demonstrated that. You fly safely, please! I don't want you to be having a "ton of friggin' fun" and take a wing collapse and damage your new motor; this ain't no Blackhawk! Fly safe, Mark!
Depending on where you live, see if you can find a local instructor, if not be ready to travel for some training. Seems like Four Winds did a nice thing in helping Mark out so if you're in their area maybe look them up. You can find more here: www.usppa.org/schools-training/ and if you let people know where you're at some other commenters may have suggestions
@@johnparker6051 I don't know that area well but I recommend you type your location in here: parajet.com/us/flight-school-locator/ it seems there are schools very close to you. Give one of those schools a ring and start asking away!
Here for work for the next 7 months. Thanks for watching. fun fact - I got accepted to the University of Cape Town when I was at NCSU but didn't go due to financial reasons. Hope one day I can visit.
@@MarkHuneycutt no ways! Schweet! Yeah im 10min away from that university. I hope to start parramotoring too soon but the law in SA is very strict. Hope to make vids also..mostly just ride dirtbikes here. Im 20 min away from the airport if you need a place to stay and travel hit me up. No charge ofcourse
It's not silly, it's counter intuitive as are many other aspects of paramotoring. Not all frames have gaps. The light frames may have some silly looking gaps because the main reason for the frame is to keep the lines out of the propeller during inflation. And you thought the frame was there to keep fingers, hands and miscellaneous materials away from the propeller: that would be too intuitive. Also, this is what standardised training is for. Smooth Skies, and then we Fly.
@@fairbanksairriders I just don't get why they wouldn't want to provide full protection. Is it aesthetics ? Aerodynamics? This frame has a giant gap, right where the pull start is located....why would they do that? Like I said, silly. : )
Not here to argue. Silly is not an aviation term. Probably you intended to say "risky" but it's more complicated than it looks. The gaps in the frame are for all the reasons you mentioned, plus light weight. More important than the gaps is pilot training and experience. Not all pilots need the heavy cage of a 70 lb paramotor. My EOS 100 weighs just 38 lbs. Been flying paramotors for 20 years and never had any problems. I don't like that paramotors have become an "extreme sport" like X-games. It was better when no one knew what paramotors were. To me paramotoring is one of the simplest forms of aviation, and aviation can be done safely regardless of the cage design. Hope this helps.
OK like some comments on RUclips can be silly, that's intuitive. Would like to see your improved cage design. Engineers have been working on this issue for decades.
Hey, Mark, great videos! I'm living in Taiwan and would love to get one of their PPG delivered here. Could you send me an email to exchange some info? I didn't see any contact info of yours here. Best regards, Daniel.
Lorran and Shannon are the best! They taught me, so clearly they're patient too!
They're patient, alright. They trained the untrainable; ME!

You’re going to love the PAP Tinox frame/cage. SOOOO easy to transport. We both love ours. Lorran & Shannon ROCK!
You will love that Pap Tinox with the 185 MY19. Thats what I have and couldn't be happier. Looking forward to all the videos with the PAP. Fly safe.
I'm going to Four Winds for PPG training this November
You'll love it!
I have a pap and trained with Lorran and Shannon last year, awesome people, awesome equipment
The PAP Tinox is great, love mine. Lorran and Shannon at Four Winds are brilliant. Superb instructors and very knowledgeable. 👍
Happy Birthday!!! And dang! Wasn’t aware that Four Winds offered glider repairs. Good to know!
Shannon opened that recently.
Mark, so pleased you are back under a paramotor again. I bet your flying will be so much more fun now.
So stoked to see you back on a motor! Hope you had a fantastic birthday.
Look who it is :)
Thanks man! Flew to an island for breakfast. Can’t complain

Great birthday present! Have fun, be safe, and thank you for your service.

Where is your throttle stowed/clipped while you're rocking the selfie stick? I don't see it. You using the cruise control much? Sounds great to me!
Awesome! Happy for u Mark!👍👍
Dude, so happy you got a motor for over there! Never seen that setup before; very interesting. Can't wait to see more and hearing about your comparison against the Nitro 200. Happy Birthday!
Very nice mark! Missed sending a bday wish on Facebook as I was travelling, happy late bday! and sweet ride you got! Good times!
thanks!
What is the furthest youve flown the para motor
The Thug Life shout out was hilarious....will be laughing about that for days!
Congrats on the new ride man. Haven't flown myself for months due to a hand injury but looking forward to getting back in the air. Looking forward to seeing more videos
hope you heal up quick
Heck ya !!!!! Happy birthday sky brother 🤟😁👍
Mark
How do you like the Papp compared to the Nitro 200 you have?
I like the design. I might get one. Seems like a well built hoop section
Sweet ride Mark. Now its play time!
Awesome paramotor. New you couldn't wait!
Is there no break-in required?
Hey dude, nice video!
I've heard your changes of surviving in the sky are zero, unless you have a flattop and a dominator ;-)
Like to watch your videos, your enthusiasm is contagious.
How much does it weigh, Mark? I am always interested to see how a real lige measurement compares to the published specs. Thanks!
What fuel is it a two stroke motor say like a scooter
That is one awesome machine!
What happened to your old motor?
That is one Happy smile!!!!
Beauty! Nice looking paramotor.
Yeah man!!! Git U sum!
Congrats man. Bout time
Haha nice edit! Thats awesome you got some gear out there, happy flying!
Awesome! Four Winds is the best!
Nice! I like that PAP design. It looks easy to break down and pack. Let us know how you like it. Yeah, I've been thinking about Four Winds training for awhile. Did you train with Lorran?
I did not. I'm just friends with them. I hope you get some training soon. Flying is fun!
@@MarkHuneycutt Thanks. I was Hang Gliding in Oklahoma, back in the '80s. I want to get back into flying, but with some thrust this time :).
@@Chris-Fennimore yes I've been paragliding a lot lately but man I missed the motor.
Back in your happy place again. Noice. So is it yours to keep or do you have to post it back to Four Winds after your Korean stint?
Congrats on the new toy! :)
Sweet machine!
Did you move to Korea?
Needs safety rings on the d-shackle pins.
Could you do a thorough review of this paramotor? I knew nothing about this particular paramotor until you posted this video, now im genuinely curious

@@MarkHuneycutt Wow thats actually a very detailed review, Thanks! I appreciate the response!
no prob
I bought my nitro 200 from those guys. Can concur, they’re awesome people!!
I hope it wasn't the one I trained on......
Congratulations on your new motor it looks cool but not as cool as your wing, i love that color 👍
BTW, Lorren was able to break that thing down and pack it in the trunk of my car with my wing and helmet. Not that you would need it, but, it also converts to cart launch as well.

Is this better than a Ninja Flat Top???
How can I get into this?

just dont fly too far north lol
Oh, and I love my P.AP. Man shirt, but the trolls at my office kept making gynecologist jokes, so I stopped wearing it there.
Thats pretty immature of them. Shouldnt have to quit wearing something because immature people make fun of it, smh
It came from Spain?..no
