Show us what lines are what....

Thanks Micah, great video I’m a little late to your game but as someone looking into building a ULSA I appreciate your information and candor

What a legend

this was super helpful and so I want to donate $5 but don't want to subscribe. There's no option for that :/

This is such a well done video The explanation well done, just a lot of absorb I almost ready to purchase a trike but I don’t know if my local airport allows me to fly it I stop today the airport is not tower and the town stuff people had absolutely not idea about it . Today useless people This is Calabro airport in brook haven Long Island Hope you can help me Great video

Hi, are you still making PPG videos? If you are, I have a request.

Dude I just saw this... how did I miss this video! I want to do this with you! Amazing. Miss ya brother!

Are you still alive man? It's been 11 months from your last video. I really was looking forward to your content

Thanks a lot. Highly informative and practical to use.

Just had my first training session today and it was all hand kiting and I was struggling with the steering portion. This helped a lot. Thank you for making the video.

Thank you for this well thought out, informative video !!!!!

Nice how many of the examples are in my neighborhood.

He’s travelling.

While I know very little on this topic it is interesting is that for you to fly as part 103, it sure requires a lot of education and the ability to read those aerial maps. While it may not be compulsory requirement for training, there is a fair amount of education that needs to happen for a beginner to fly safely.

Hey I love your videos. Very thorough with attention to detail and no shortcuts. I recently bought an Advance Fastpack bag (see video link), and I’ve been employing your method which not only makes for a neat unfolding of the leading edge at launch but also, my risers are consistently trouble free. However I have one apprehension about your method. It concerns holding the leading edge battens between the knees during the trailing edge and other glider parts “stuffing” process. Namely I have noticed how the fabric balloons out and ultimately, even after the collected battens are placed flat at a 90 degree angle on top in the center, and then additional fabric is piled on top, the ballooning continues. Therefore it seems clear that we are choking the air exit at the leading edge as we are stuffing the glider into the bag - first by the knee action and second after the battens are laid flat. In both cases, we are not allowing the air to escape from the internal wing structures and essentially we are forcing the air through the fabric, thus encouraging increased porosity by force and thereby shortening the life of the fabric. Ideally, for a long wing life, we should work the air from the trailing edge towards the open leading edges as we do during concertina packing. There may be an argument that the fast pack is not the primary packing method and is only used during certain times, like successive launches, but some people use the fast pack as their primary method. My guess is that such people will find an increased development of fabric porosity and hence prematurely shortened glider life. I want to use a method like yours, but without the fabric ballooning so much. Take a look at the Advance fast pack video example, notice how he works the trailing edge into the bag while the leading edge is relatively open. Moreover, there is little sign of the fabric ballooning at any point during the packing process. The leading edges however, are not paid attention to as you do. So do we have to choose between leading edge integrity or fabric longevity? I also don’t have luck with leaving the harness connected to the risers like in the example video. For some reason this always seems to complicate riser unpacking at launch. Check this video to see what I’m talking about: czcams.com/video/Ad9w-DbJwpc/video.htmlsi=H1ecZNy4WJUgV56i I hope you have a chance to comment. Thanks, Steve :)

Thanks, but what about tip steering toggs? I have some I need to install

Outstanding ! I like it too much ..,

It would seem that 103.15 would also classify the airspace directly above the occupied houses and condominiums of a barrier island incorporated town as a "congested area."

Wow! Epic flight! I live down valley in the roaring fork valley in Garfield county. I ride an adventure motorcycle on the mesa around Ridgeway alot so it's cool to see it from the air. I was a Wildland Firefighter and have 18 flights in a helicopter. Ever thought about flying over Aspen, Co or flying from Meeker to Steamboat Springs? Not sure how far you can get with a full tank of gas. I imagine the winds can carry you very very far minimizing fuel use? If so then I'm even wayyy more jealous and interested in buying a wing and motor to put around locally. I'm watching your "is it legal?" video next! 🙏 You got a local that's now a subscriber

Time: 4:00 this knot is not bowline. Please find difference: bowline vs cowboy bowline

Winds looked about like what I was trying to kite in today. I did not learn to hold the brake mallions overhand as you showed. I think it would be easier than underhand and pulling as I have been doing. I will try this next kiting session. I am pretty good at controlling the wing when it is up, but the variable zero-7 mph winds give me just a few seconds of good flight before dropping to zero and even walking backwards isn't enough to keep it flying. Can't wait for a day with actual steady winds.

I completed training aver a year ago, then life and my back got in the way and I haven't flown. I recently started kiting again preparing for flying again in the next few weeks. I try to kite for an hour every day the weather allows, which has been 5 out of 7 days a week for the last 3 weeks. Each time I kite, I try another packing method I have seen on CZcams or I learned in training. What you show in this video is essentially what I learned in training and I believe I have decided it is the best way for me. Thanks for the simple, easy to follow video reminding me of the details for this method. I spent an hour kiting today but the winds were variable from zero to 7 mph so I could reverse the wing up, but a few seconds later, the wind would die and down comes the wing. I do have pretty good control over it now. Three weeks ago I was relearning basics and the wing was everywhere but where I wanted it. I packed the win (Ozone 30m Mojo PWR 2) as shown in your video and I think it's the easiest and fastest for me. I hope to hit the beach (I am in Orlando, FL) this weekend for some more stable and steady winds to try keeping the wing up for more than 30 seconds at a time. Thanks again for the video!

Michah! So glad to find your channel! Loved all your content at Aviator

Do you have any engine and propeller recommendations as far as brand source etc for ul plane previously powered by vw engine

Am I the only one who can seem to never find flyable days? I did my training 1.5 years ago and have not flown over 20 times since then. I’m in Indiana and winds seem to be gusting to at least 10-15mph every day. It’s been pushing me to sell but part of me doesn’t want to give up lol. I don’t fly during the winter so that cuts out half the year almost.

Great video and very insightful. Wow that’s a nice workout room you got there with a climbing wall even…daaaang👌

Demise of failed state

I think you got the square and rectangle thing backwards. All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.

Nice tips. My challenge was that the first A lines were somehow tangled differently. I could get either one to be free but not both... So the simple "pull the A's through the loop" technique didn't work. Not sure you have another method for this one.

Awesome and informative video! Thank you!

Hi Micah . Love your channel and content. Thanks for all your do. It was great meeting you while I was attending my class in January. I just purchased a Kona 3 based on your recommendations and the fact that I plan to get my P2 free flight rating in the future. -Jay

Good explanation

You are such a good teacher. Thank you.

So much valuable information, thank you so much.!!

Great vid, always need refresher on sectional as I ppg the same area and just know the rules here.

The serious mistake you make is modeling are as a river. Water is not compressible and does not contain any energy of its own past the position of energy of gravity. Are is compressible so it's a gas not a liquid and it behaves in a lot worse fashion when you add more energy because you can compress it and it can stretch.

So I got an old used wing to practice in the snow and am pleasantly surprised with how well it still flies. I had another used wing, but it is too out of trim and maybe too porous, but this other one I got flies great. One problem I have is motivating myself to get out there when it's cold.🥶 I just go on the warmer days until spring I guess.

So far your airspace video is the best one for ultra light aircraft, that I have see. Although I need to learn more to safely fly ultra lights in my local area, or any where. I live in Lancaster California. I recently bought a Los Angeles sectional Cart. Palmdale airport is only a few miles from my home & Fox Field Is a few miles farther North west of me. So would be grateful for any help regarding Ultralight flying in my area.

Cant fly a 250+ gram rc plane or drone without a RID chip or make a video about flying without a part 107. So free....

Hola, hay algo que no entiendo,probé la kona 2 con cero viento a la altura del mar e infla espectacular ! Quedé sorprendido! Yo vuelo una ruhs 3 y no infla como esa

The guy is trying to teach people about 103. Get off your high horse and chill!

Wow, interesting, I see I need ground school!!!😂😂😂😂

This is hideous

If you had to choose a paramotor for a beginner after training would it be a limitless, parajet or.....? Thank you

I have 8 solo skydiving jumps. Before I started I was a little scared of getting hurt or dying. At training they said the very experienced jumpers are more likely to get injured because of complacency. My very first day of ground school I saw a cut away. I was actually surprised by that and it really got me thinking about what I was about to do haha.
