- I trained at Mojo’s Flight School in North Carolina. I fly the Ozone sirocco paraglider. My paramotor is the PAP Tinox with with a Vittorazi moster, 185 engine. Questions? Hit me up at paramotorNC@gmail.com
I skydive which is a fantastic time, this looks more peaceful.
I agree, you can spend more time in flight and at a low speed.
One of the great things about paramotoring is the variety of flight styles that you can do. It can be as peaceful as sitting in a chair on the porch watching the sunrise or sunset, except at altitude. It can also be as challenging as you want to make it with XC, acro, slalom, etc. Even working on the basic skills such as precision launches and landings is fun. There's also the freedom to take-off from places other than airports, and on your own schedule!
@@Logan4661 agreed!
@ParamotorNC do you have radio on board with you? Say somehow you end up in a forbidden fly zone, how will you be notified?

I'm surprised paramotors are still largely unknown, it's the coolest thing ever. You can basically FLY with a device that costs a few thousand dollars, and it's not as hard as learning how to fly a plane or helicoptor. I guess the only limiting thing is where you live and if you have open fields like this.
Agreed. Relatively affordable and accessible. It is more rewarding if you have open areas to fly nearby.
the price is thebiggest hurdle. the second is that since its not a gun, the news doesnt care about it to report about it, unless hamad uses them but not for long. Just long enough to make people associate it with terrorism.
I have a beach! I'm thinking about doing this!!!
I live in South Africa, a "third world country" falling apart... But hey, what they can do is making regulations and laws. We do need a licence and it's effing expensive in South African terms... 😢
Yeah but also alot more dangerous when anything goes wrong lol
Best thing Ive ever done
Yeah I'm going to do this but I sincerely doubt that every single flight school in America teaches how to fly these
@@ClaytonBigsby01more should.
Cost to get into it?
Anyone who wants to learn more about the regulations that govern ultralight vehicles, you can look up 14 CFR Part 103, which is section of rules that regulate ultralights (and is also sometimes used as a shorthand for ultralight aircraft).
In the US just search for FAR103.
This is going to be my midlife crisis I already called it.
it was mine, i do not regret it
Absolutely. Just need to take classes. Can't go above a certain height
Wish id started years ago
But I need a 'license' to fly a drone?
Right?
Yes. But you don’t have to prove you know how to fly a drone to get your certificate. Isn’t that wonderful.
Also ultra light aircraft pilots, part 103 don’t need ID numbers of any kind on their aircraft, don’t need to register them.Don’t need to take an any online TRUST testing.
" license" just means extortion
@@starsixtyseven195that's all! They need money every turn u make. License to add on to your house or build a shed of certain size. License to drive, fly, make food out your house and sell it, lemonade stands, conceal carry in most places, childcare, the list goes on and on.. every possible way to get your money will be done!
I would have loved to do that when i had my old knees!
English is such a weird language lol old knees referring to your young knees in past hence. “Old knees” in this context is the opposite of your new, “old knees” 😂 🤔
try a quad, im 313lbs and fly all the time from a quad, very safe not severe on the knees at all Blackhawk 4 stroke amazing
A lot stricter here in Germany. You cannot simply start or land anywhere you want, no matter how spacious. You need a license and an official airfield or private meadow that has been licensed under strict conditions with annual/semiannual renewal, as well as a semiannual inspection for your wing. A reserve parachute is mandatory, as well as radio for any potential flight control checks. And you need to be strictly aware about the abundant no-fly and restriction zones in the area you want to fly in.
EDIT: speaking of privately owned meadows, in most german states, you won't get them licensed even if you fulfill all the requirements as the states won't permit it. And the airfields rarely tolerate paragliders
😳
Oh, and all that renewal/inspection stuff costs the owner a few hundred bucks
The next school teaching paragliding on foot is 2 1/2 hours away from me.
The nearer ones teach on trike but that ramps up the cost, despite shorter travel time
People try and make this look so safe and carefree the problem is paramotoring is extremely dangerous
death statistics are extremely low, especially with training. in good weather, it is very safe.
Most points of failure statistically lie with the pilot. Get your license, act on it's teachings, be aware of weather, gear, personal wellbeing before and during the flight and your limitations and you've erased 95% of failure points of every paramotor crash
Some day I would love to do this
do it, take a class, you wont regret it
Dude did this take off much more harder than it needed to be
Nice
In your opinion, if you were trapped in a dense city, can you train to paraglide in the city or do you need a lot of empty space?
Are you asking this for personal use, or are you asking this in the context of 7th Oct attack?
Depending on wind, and how wide the stairwell or elevator is, all you need is the roof and 20-40 feet flat without obstructions
Possible to launch from the street but you’d be fined into the next county
First, your question refers to paragliding (PG), not paramotoring or powered paragliding (PPG), which is a very different sport than shown in the video. That out of the way, "can you train in the city or do you need a wide open space?" Yes, you can do some training in the city, if you have a wide open space, like a park. With enough room away from people and objects to move, and a clear path for the wind (trees and buildings cause turbulence) you could work on your kiting skills and equipment care. I would recommend going to a school for whichever sport you are interested in. As you learn the skills you will get a good idea of what makes for a good training area, and what doesn't, and then decide if the area you have in mind is appropriate. At school you should be using their equipment, so it's a try before you buy situation. Worst case scenario, it's a fun vacation!
I did my first crash landing. I’m able to write this message
Yes, you can!
This is why women live longer
My favorite reoccurring dream is being able to fly with just my mind. This is so close. I want to try it so bad. Still, it scares me.
That's cool ngl
You need a license to fly one in Canada, which isn’t surprising.
I need to do this
Where u are amigo
If only the training didn't cost as much as the paramotor itself 😂
I hear ya
Eh, just watch some CZcams videos
@@anner9 Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?
Worst case you'll end up in someone else's CZcams video.
Only in US
@@macsmith2013or flying into power lines.
Do you need any license to fly a tandem trike? Obviously training but are any licenses or certifications required? If so, what is the cost?
Ultralights (including trikes) are limited to a single occupant according to FAR Part 103. The only exception is for certified instructors giving a discovery flight. If you would like to take a passenger, then you will want to look at other aircraft such as a powered parachutes (which will require a sport pilot license and N-number). I am not sure of the cost of license and certification of light sport aircraft.
you will need a license and certifications, I working toward the instructors license and tandem
This blows my mind. With all the regulations around flying a tiny little drone.. I wasn't expecting this.
Bro I live in California Los Angeles. Yeah I don’t think I can fly one guys. 💀
This guy will teach you...nearby... staybadparamotor.com/ppg-2-2/

HOW MANY KILOMÈTRES IT GO
HOW MANY FUEL
how do you land?
Looks very safe 💀
Safer than a car and definitely a motor cycle.
@@byronrogers4489 Depends very much on the environment bud.
How do they do in wind? I’m 73; too old?
We do fly in light wind. But we always scrutinize the weather forecast before flight. some folks like to launch with wheels instead of foot launch.
Would be nice to see crossing USA with paramotor 😮
czcams.com/video/igmsQ2escUU/video.htmlsi=newY1YQNwdsKwLYa
😅 Yeah ! until we have a whole bunch of them lol.....😂
Is very cool, but I’m scared of heights
I am scared of height also. Somehow I feel very secure within this harness and I love the feeling in the air.
Not in Canada .
License required.
If the canopy folds in a cross wind, you're dead😮
The canopy has an unbelievable amount of passive safety built-in. It will naturally reinflate. If you have enough altitude, there will be no issue. Plus I fly with a reserve chute.

If you haven't seen "street wars" and you ultralight, ya slippin

@@ParamotorNC 4 to 1?
With staying out of congested airspace, would that limit me from flying around my local area? My area isnt close to any major airspace, but would that limit me from flying a mile or so aroumd the area?
There’s a website called sky vector where you can see the air space anywhere in the US. You may need to ask a pilot to help you interpret the notations on the map.
@@ParamotorNC thank you! I'll be checking that out!
How much does it cost. Around abouts ?
Similar to motocross. About $12K.
@@ParamotorNC uuuuhhhh ! Last time i bout a mocross it was 2 grand irish pound..
Why buy a motorcycle, when you can have one of these?
man I need this
Try it at 17k ft
Is it too late to buy it for christmas?

i live in Davidson, NC right by Lake Norman and there's a dude that flies one of these around the lake....that u?
No, that isn’t me but there’s a small group of flyers in that area. Last time I flew by Lake Norman was over a year ago.
How much do these things cost? I need this in my life!!
The wing is about 4000 and the motor is about 8000. You can sometimes get good used gear for about half that.
@@ParamotorNCi dont think i would take used gear for something like this 😅
@@Mark_Rutten I hear ya
@@ParamotorNC can you actually land safely if your motor ever fails? You can land with the parachute only or you have some kinda reserve parachute?
@@Mark_Rutten Yes, we are trained to land at point throughout the flight if the motor fails. We simply glide down to the ground. We also carry a reserve parachute (mine is in a side pouch).
Can you fly to another state with one?
Yes sir!
Very weather dependent tho
Correct. I only fly in the first two hours of the day or the last two hours of the day when the sun is low. And only on days with low or tame wind.
What's the average takeoff distance?
I probably get up in about 100 feet but I have several hundred feet of open field ahead of me before I have to climb over trees. If there’s a good headwind then I need less than 100 ft.
@@ParamotorNC ok, thanks
This is gonna work well with when the tax mileage comes out
Let's see u Land 😂😂😂
How many miles an hour.... What's the top? And what's the best time of the day to fly it? because it get Hot in Texas !
We usually average between 25 and 35 mph on a round-trip flight. It depends on the conditions and the glider. Best time is an hour after sunrise or an hour before sunset.
How much cost second hand paramotor ❓
I usually say a new motor and wing are $8K and $4k. Good used gear may be found for 50% off, depending.
@@ParamotorNC full setup Sir ❓

I swear if I run into a Karen I swear on the heaven's...
I'd get tired of holding up my arms for that long.
just let go. you can also turn off the engine and you wont drop from the sky like many people think.
Once you get aloft you can let go for short periods
@@UpcomingJedi I'm not sure why they would think such, it's the parachute keeping you up. The motor just propells you forward and keeps you going. Why would someone think that motor keeps you up... 🤔🤔
No thanks
I bet that thing is super super loud right behind your head
Your helmet blocks alot of the noise
I'm good with my feet on the ground, Thanks but no thanks .

There is no such thing as a cheap hobby.
If I ever tried that.... I'd almost always end up crashing in the trees.
Also, am I foolish for asking what are the odds of a flying animal or object crashing into you or crashing you?
And who the hell is recording you lol
It is not difficult to steer. You could do it easily!
What is the average life expectancy for people who do this?

What a stupid question

Im getting one when i turn 18
You need one for insurance unless you dont care to spend a lifetime paraplegic treatement...
Forgot it was the us. So no and carry as much guns and ammo as you deserve 😂
Ultra light planes are way more fun and safer
You might be right. But I have to say that it is nice to throw my aircraft in the trunk of my car and launch from a park.
That's true, but it's also nice to take off from my 50 ft drive way. Either way, we both having a good time.
@@jojack228 right on
@@jojack228you're not taking off with a plane from your 50ft driveway . do we all look stupid😂. I know nothing about planes but I'm pretty sure that would be against the law😂
@@ClaytonBigsby01 Well then you sound pretty stupid and misinformed. I fly a quicksilver MX Ultralight plane. Single seat. 65mph airspeed. Takes literally 50 ft to take off and land. And yes, you don't need a license, and you can take off from your private property. Iv done it for a few years now. You can get a used one for about 10k. Still need to follow FAA rules in the air of course.
These look sketch as lol arnt they known for the throttles sticking on ?
Mountains bad? Seems like everyone is doing it in farm land.
Flying near the mountains is beautiful. However, wind moving over mountainous terrain can result in more turbulent conditions than the same wind over flat land. So we are cautious near mountains while flying. Also, farm land tends to provide more land-able options in case the motor stops running (we would glide down safely).
It’s the worst idea to fly one of these without proper instruction. It’s definitely more dangerous than an airplane.
How far can you go on a tank of gas?😮
It depends on your rig and the wind. I estimate that mine can go 75 miles in 3 hours on a tank of gas (with little or no wind).
@@ParamotorNC75 mi in 3 hours? I'm seriously considering this as my beater car😂😂. Imagine looking down at bumper to bumper traffic😂😂. It would be glorious
