My Last Flight At Bens And My Baby Wingovers
zhlédnutí 501Před 2 měsíci
This video has a lot of takeoffs and landings from most of the pilots that were in attendance. I practiced my baby wingovers known to most pilots as turns, that is all it takes me to be a little motion sick. After @WillFly fell down on the bullseye I tried to land on it and oh yeah fell down just the same. #likewillfly #aviation #moster #apco #dudek #flyin #paralife #poweredparaglider #power2fl...

Are you going to Oshkosh air venture ?
@@captbrad8235 no sir too busy for me
Nice flight. Should have foot dragged Dega. :)
@@doranish123 that would have been cool but did not want to stir anything up at my buddies LZ. Thank you for checking out the video.
Tyler Perry gonna knock you out of the sky with a massive R/C Plane.
@@HeadTester that is possible!
yeah Pablo miss much, missing a fly it's much hahahahaa hahaaaa
@@FlyBabyFlyPPG hopefully he is ready to go now
@@paralifeppg hahahahaa for sure hahahaa
congratulations Mark enjoy your Baby.
@@FlyBabyFlyPPG was fun and helps build confidence
@@paralifeppg yes respect for that my friend mark. we're conservative pilots even i have SIV i keep respect of the beast.
Look at you GO, buddy!!! Infinity tumble is next!!! 😊
@@Maxrider2009 yes that is a hard no
Mark you need to fly my 24 falcon, not as spicey on turning but smooth to fly
I would love to try it.
That was a Fun flight, it did suck on the way back but i want to come back and explore more, there are some cool places to see for sure. and you did great on that wing, that LZ was nice for sure but i didn't realise i was that close to the trees when landing.😟.. I was trimmed out trying to keep up. lol
Glad we got another good safe flight in. You may have to come stay a night or two.
Nice, I'd love to try this wing. I was able to fly a Hadron 3 last weekend but the takeoff's on them can be very tricky. I blew my first try (my fault, too much brake) but nailed the second.... you have to be on your game. That Falcon looked like it launches very easy and that's what I am looking for, plus something that I can carve on.
I should not have taken a couple of steps back before launch. It almost over shot.
So many folks I trust just love that Falcon,,,,,,prophetically, Matt Bell said it spoiled him for less well behaved wings,,,,,I thought you being an APCO guy, you’d try out an F3 Mohawk,,,,,
@@keithgrey I will try a couple of wings in that size before I buy one.
Before long, you’ll be on an 18 m wing passing everybody up like it ain’t nothing lol
@@PPGShane Negative I think a 22 would be good for now.
Excellent Mark. R u liking those faster wings?
@@pittsjohn57 Yes sir, would like to fly a couple different 22m wings.
@@paralifeppg I’m flying a 21 Solo mostly. Seems to be the right size but when I switch to my 24 Solo or my 25.5 Uni, it’s like sitting on a cloud and landing is so easy.
Awesome video. Also, the tall grass is a complete pain in the ass. My airport is a small municipal airport that I fly out of and they refused to cut the grass. It sucks but at least I’m flying.
You can try asking for permission to cut a section but they probably will say no to that. Thanks for checking out the video.
Man.... this is so so cool!!!!!
Thank you for checking it out.
Great takeoff in the tall grass! Not ugly at all, considering.
Thank you buddy.
Another super video, Mark! Keep em coming!!! What an adventure!
Thank you my friend
What an epic adventure, Mark. Would love to have been a part of this!
It was a great flight. Thanks for checking out the video
Nice fly mark, you go to sleep to early hahahaaaa
I am old and soft!🤣
@@paralifeppg hahahahhaaa hahahaaaa yeahhh right hahahaa
Wow! That looked like a wall @9:14 Good One! Mark.
I must be amazing at how the car pins you in the seat.
I always love your flights!!!!!
Thank you, Miss Angela. It was fun.
It was a great flight. I had a blast. Hope you enjoyed it. Next time we can go around the dam after Pablo gets his fuel consumption under controle. Sorry for the tall grass. FYI you got me back on the next one😂😂. Great video
Thank you for inviting us over. It was great.
Nice Tucker shirt there at the end. That wing had a hard time on takeoff. Trailing edge had a strange floppy pit in the center.
Yes I think Nick is embarrassed to wear a ParaLife shirt out in public.
That looks soooooo fun
It was a nice flight. Thank you for checking it out.
Those legs and yellow socks just doing something for me. Lol. Yeah there are some water there huh.
Those are my lucky magic socks…
Nice flight. Looked really dark when you landed! It was hard to see the ground. You have a good friend there.
Thank you for checking out the video. It was a good flight.
Nice !
Thanks Bill
What were you using that warned you about other traffic?
I use the paid Gaggle app. $49 a year works really great in my opinion. Thanks for checking out the channel.
nieźle 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for checking out the video
What if you drop your phone
Some people tether them, but there is risk of a tethered phone wrapping around your arm or leg and going into the prop. It is probably better to risk dropping it or put it on a knee board.
It is on a small tether a the bottom and I keep it in my side pouch. Thank you for checking out the video.
Uh oh, Pablo!!!!! Glad he was OK. Break anything on the motor? Sounded like he said he rolled? Love the vids, buddy! Keep em coming! 👍
Nope he has no motor damage. Thanks for checking the videos out.
Flint river is that the east side of Michigan then?
We are 30 mile south of Atlanta GA
Yep... Interesting flight! 🥴. It was awesome until my fuel disappeared...
Thankful you did not get hurt and no damage. Stayed calm and kept flying it.
More excellence!!!!
Thank you @pittsjohn57
Glad Pablo was okay. How did you like that landing in the relative dark?
I picked up a little tail wind but it wasn’t too bad. We push it until the last couple of minutes once in a while.
Oh no pablo hope your all good.
Just a little skin, good thing he is tough.
😄 Funny!
I cant imagine there are many vandals that would go to the effort of chartering a plane and doing a skydive just to burn up sh*t at the LZ🤣🤣🤣🤣
With the strobes going!🤣
@@paralifeppg 😂😂
Very nice ! I like that replay !
Thank you Bill
Another good one.
Thanks John
Soooo beautiful!
Thank you for checking out the video
Do you listen to music also on your headset or just the radio and gaggle? Trying to see if there is a way to play music, gaggle AND have comms with my flying friends in my PPG smoke headset
Yes I have Sena as well and can make and receive phone calls and my music.
What was the app/voice telling you where other air traffic was?
Gaggle and they keep making it better.
Just awesome 😎
Thank you for checking out the video.
Typical blue line gang tyrants abusing your constitutional rights demanding ID's
And you gave them your ID? Why? Caving in to utterly unlawful requests is unacceptable and normalizes abuse of power.
Sorry it didn’t bother me.
So give the police a hard time and be difficult which will ensure future police contacts and probably the loss of a good LZ. Not a very successful approach. You may get a testosterone boost, but you created more issues than you solved.
@@LarryAnnen it was a good interaction for me.
@@paralifeppg it always has been for me as well, but then I did’nt come up with a testosterone fueled challenge to their authority. It’s easy to tell who is a sovereign citizen and who is a decent human being.
He sounds exactly like I'd expect a paraglider to sound! 🤣
If I was a dispatcher and heard about a paraglider I'd be sending the coroner, not police. I mean it's only a matter of time.
You'd still attach the police along with FD and EMS. You don't get to make those kinds of calls individually anyways there's dispatching SOPs to every kind-of call you could imagine, and you follow what it tells you to send.
👍
LOLOL!
That is the funniest thing Shane has ever done. When he travels with me he always pays for fuel and Shane is just jealous!🤣
Love your videos, buddy! Beautiful spot!
Thank you buddy
