Paramotor Nil to 2 mph Wind Takeoff & Landing

This is just another video to show my family and friends on my progress of learning paramotoring. In the Paramotor community they say that it is most difficult to takeoff and land in nil wind conditions. So, lots of practice should makes me a better paramotor pilot.

Wonderful your vidéo effects

[@gaetanproductions]

love your video effect at the end !

[@johngt1718]

Thank you. I was just testing. Did not put too much time in it to smooth out each picture edges. 😅

[@dnorthup65]

Better all the time. Looking good John!

[@johngt1718]

Thanks David! 😁

Good control during inflation, stabilization and full throttle - I love soaring freely in the sky !

[@johngt1718]

Thanks. I am still learning. 🤗

Thank you 🤗

I love how the wind inflates each of the cells when you bring up the wing.

[@johngt1718]

Thank you. It's a Roadster 2. I only have experience with two different wings so far, but I rally like it. 🤗

[@bstang93]

@@johngt1718 I started on the Roadster 2. It was a great wing to fly out of training.

Good Stuff ! new subscriber !

Thank you! 🤗

That video effect would look cool if you were running straight toward the camera. Then you could see how much oscillation you have. Worth a shot. I’m new too but I’m trike launching ( don’t judge he he). Nice video.

[@johngt1718]

I am sure it will look awesome. But I am no video editing except so don't know how 😅. When I was editing this video, it was just an idea of how I can do this effect, so I tried it and it came out ok. Trike is awesome! But it scares me on the take off. As long as I can still run I will foot launch 😁

[@davidwolford4655]

@@johngt1718 yeah that’s why I went trike. Work depends on me being able to use my legs! But I do know how to foot launch! Original trained to foot launch!

[@barajona2]

Are u still allowed to fly paramotor in that area?

[@johngt1718]

Not anymore. Construction started and they kicked us out. 😓

[@Para_Ninja]

Nice job, nil wind is really hard. Where is this filmed?

[@johngt1718]

In southern CA. But I heard from the guys who's been frying there for many years that the construction company that owns the land will begin construction in few month. So we will lose that LZ soon :(

[@FlyBabyFlyPPG]

@@johngt1718 find another LZ and keep the secret for 5 pilots hahaha hahahaaa

[@hexdelete]

What are your trims set to? It looks like the Roadster(?) wants to hang back a bit...

[@johngt1718]

I have a roadster 2, 26m. According to the manual, it suggest to set the trimmer at the white line (about 1 inch out from neutral) for low wind takeoff, so that is what I have my trimmer set at. When landing I have the trimmer at neutral.

[@FlyBabyFlyPPG]

@@johngt1718 my roadster 3 26m and I have set it in line red (neutral) just she want to fly you, cacth it with some break pressure but she inflate super easy. fly baby fly.

[@johngt1718]

@@FlyBabyFlyPPG my roadster 2 trim only have one white line, wich is about a little over 1in away from all the way in. I have been flying mostly at nil to 2 m/h wind so according to manual, trim at white line is best for low wind takeoff. I am not that experienced pilot yet, so still following the manuals 😅
