I appreciate your honesty. Never-mind this or that ... your honesty might just save a life.
John Shackleton your comment should have more likes 1000% agree
Exactly! screw all the know it all critics send them up there with that wing maybe they will be eliminated and silence their big mouthes
Absoluly right may you save a life, I agree your Testing appreciate your comments also for Jaclin take care for her same sky is not forgiving I was having also a lot of luck in Bell 47 to learn and fly in my Solos no one than can help !
Dudek have always had a reputation for wings that have "hung back"
@@rogerd4559 LOL, yea, Darwin's awards, maybe? Honesty is priceless, stupidity cost a lot!
You've always come across as a guy with integrity and honesty. I haven't seen anything that suggests you've compromised that in any way. I also like opinions, and take them as opinions. Good series.
Hey broski, good to see you here. I agree with you completely. I hope that Mav is treating you well.
Hey broski, good to see you here. I agree with you completely. I hope you know that Team 1 will continue to represent for all time.
@@carter7515 bahaha, fancy seeing you here.
James Dunn I agree 💯 percent!!
I agree with you, however saying there is a difference between a review and first impressions sounds like splitting hairs.
‘First Impressions’ videos are great, they capture the excitement of newness and have a value that is different then a ‘review’. Please don’t change a thing with how you do them.
Can’t wait for another van life video. I see that you are nearing 1M subs (I remember subscribing when you were flying in your underwear back at 5K subs). I wonder how close you are to the van life 500 patreon supporters ...I recall a promise to have all the supporters names printed onto the van-mobile.
Tucker, you are THE most respected and honest guy in life AND the paramotor community, your skills and knowledge are above compare. You will have undoubtedly saved lives with your honest unbiased opinion of the flying characteristics of this wing. It is no exaggeration to say that you and Jacklyn are the worlds finest and most respected ambassadors for our sport. I hope the wing designers take note and make the improvements required to it. Thank you and my very best wishes to you and everyone you hold close to your heart 🇬🇧
If you always tell the truth, you have nothing to remember! You're honesty rocks Tucker! keep it up! Love the videos! ...AND reviews!
Imagine the inscription on the tombstone: "Killed due to wing stall during landing ... but the flight was spectacular!"
Im very HAPPY you choose to stay real which is what attracted me to your channel and opinion. I can see you are transparent and honest and I appreciate that from the heart, its a very rare thing today! Keep up the great content you rock man!
Tucker, I’ve noticed a fair amount of disrespect in this sport from other pilots with channels (I won’t name names) to promote whatever agenda they may have. I watch your channel because you don’t seem to have an agenda besides safety, passion and entertainment. It’s too bad you (legitimately) feel the need to explain your opinions, but I get it. Continue being yourself and filming what you want, there’s a reason we’re all here!
Thank you for your honest opinions and amazing videos. It’s because of you and people like you that I’m starting to see a possibility of making my lifelong dream of flying a reality!
Also, don't let the comments from low IQ bitchy boys bother you. You are miles and miles beyond their immature actions and mentality.
Thank you for being so on point about SAFETY and your honesty and integrity. You shouldn't ever have to try to explain that to anyone. If they cannot understand, they will NEVER get it. It's their loss.
Cheers!
Perfectly said,... I totally agree!
Tucker's approach to the sport is "stable-air".
A most thoughtful and honest critique, Tucker!
Keep them coming, no expectations needed. Thanks for all you do.
Well done, clearly a man of integrity.
I’m excited for more wing “first impression” videos... I’ve got a Niviuk Qubik 19m and I really like it awesome wing!! Your honesty and genuineness is what has got you so far nearly 1M subs! Now that’s impressive rock on man 😄🤙🏼
Men of integrity are rare. Thank you Tucker, keep up the top notch videos.
I know this is an old vid, but it really helped me! I bought a Hadron 3 about a year ago and could NOT get it in the air. Its been sitting in my garage all this time. I used your technique of holding the A's longer and I can finally fly it! Thanks!
Well done Tucker. This is the reason I watch your videos. I consider you to be an upstanding young with with honest and amazing values. Your videos are informative and interesting and the reason I got into this sport. Kudos to your parents for raising a son with your values.
Honesty is always the best policy. Your honesty and integrity have been apparent since the beginning. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate your honest opinion Tucker,
The big question has been answered - Jaclyn has great breath! Great video and well spoken. 👍
Very well said as always Tucker. You have been and continue to be a great ambassador to our sport. Don’t worry about the haters the majority of us have nothing but respect for you Brother.
You come across like a very honest and genuine person, As a non-flying person I highly enjoy your videos (except the “reacts to accidents” segments those are too scary to watch) and I would like to tank you for the effort you put in to the editing of your videos.
Stay cool and awesome, greetings from Sweden
Because of your van life,it inspired me to buy my own van,although not as nice as yours!Keep on doing what your doing dude,changing lives everywhere!
You sir are the real deal an i appreciate your humility.I love my "caution" shirt.
I've always thought of you as an honest person. I believe that's what has gotten you to the place you are at. I appreciate your integrity, you've been an inspiration to many people including myself. We need more honest and real people in this world. Thank you 👍✌
You did just fine tucker, honest, upstanding, and persistent in your view, you always call safety first, other people have, insecurities and fears they live by, that controls their responses keep doing what you're doing I watched it till the end you did great oh, you're almost at 1 million. Omg
Well done. ✌️
Just love your videos, Tucker.
Can sense the honesty, appreciate that. 👍🏻
Tucker, I am a non-flying wannabe flyer since I was 6. I am also a huge fan of Your's, your character, skill and your life in general. Today you spoke to the vast majority of PPG people. Thank You! I still want to own a PPG and fly with you above the clouds at least once before I expire. I am now 56 yrs old as of 10/1. My body is breaking down so my (2) launch vehicles aka legs, are starting to fail. I may have to meet you above the clouds wearing (3) wheels or more. I hope you won't mind. Keep it up buddy, you are an awesome person!
I like that you take the high road. Thank you for that.
Very good video makes it easier to understand dynamics of take off and wing
Thank you for the honest “First Impressions” video; much appreciated! ✌️
Appreciate the first video and this second impressions. Keep being you man! :)
Great job 👍😎
Appreciate your honesty and integrity.
Now back to the shenanigans and van life! 😊
Great response to all the drama that came out of the last video.
Thanks for the additional information on the wing's characteristics. That is exactly what I like to see, and I ignore the hate. I know you are honest, and I'm super appreciative that you have stuck to your guns. Keep it up, and I will continue to watch!!
Great video and appreciate the content
You're one of the few video creators that I would'nt question wether you're giving an unbiased opinion or not. You tell it like it is.
Honesty is everything when it comes to people’s lives 👍 and with all your flying experience people will listen to you 👍 thanks for being honest .
Great follow up on the failed launches vid, explains a lot. Well done young fella.
Thanks for your honest reviews T !
I commend you on your honesty.... at the end of the day you have to live with yourself and your opinion could actually cost lives. In this industry you have to keep your opinion in front of money, I believe you are doing that.
I'm thinking about buying my first para-motor I have been watching your channel for a while and honesty is important especially with something like this because it could potentially prevent injuries and deaths. Thanks for the honest content.
I cant think of how many accidents and lives you have saved by your incredible videos you make , well done Tucker
Thank you for being honest, awesome info.
I am interested in paramotor and plan on getting training in the future. I like your videos because you always show logical safe information for new pilots. Which is a lot of your audience so their is no controversy.
Crushing it, it’s what Tucker does.👍🏻
great video tucker
Good review and initial test! Launch probs largely overcome but the wing threatening to spin out on a normal landing approach would be a no-go for me, too. Keep up the good work!
Ever since I started watching your videos I have been impressed with your eye towards safety. Always putting that first keeps me watching you. If something doesn't "feel right" don't do it. I don't care what the reason is, equipment, wind conditions, weather concerns, daylight falling, anything, always err on the side of caution. That said, This 66 year old man can fly vicariously through you so stay safe and fly on!!!
Great honesty thanks
Awesome video, definitely appreciate the honesty, and definitely like the first impression videos. Hopefully this doesn't deter you from doing first impressions again.. my vote is to keep doing what you're doing 👍
Phenomenal video, nobody could believe you’er not honest about these things unless they are bias themselves. Great job and thanks for the additional info. 😀
You just do you. In the end your integrity and honesty will speak for itself.
Nicely done Tucker.. Blue skies my friend
Very well spoken!
Good job Tucker.
Great video. Great content.
Tucker, thank you SOOO much for this video. I know the manufacturer got mad about this and thats always bad news for your income. You ignore them and eat the metaphorical bullet so that us pilots don't get a life ending face plant on a sketchy wing.
Your a true saint. Your honesty is unrivaled.
Thanks Tucker you are appreciated 👍🙏👍
I appreciate your honesty Always, thanks 🤙🤙😁
Honesty has very high value in this sport & viewers benefit the MOST from total brutal honesty... because life and death are at stake. Good job & keep up the honest work. Honesty is hard to find & when people know you are honest, then they will stick with you forever. HONESTY COMMANDS RESPECT! Cheers
Continue to do what you do Tucker because you've put in the hours for those sponsorships. At least people see the products in action. Stay cool man.
Much respect to you and your videos. I will always value your opinion on everything you talk about!
Great video as always! Also you subs skyrocketed! Well deserved!
The sky and wing are beautiful together in your video. Nice camera work Jacqlyn! :)
You seem to be very fair and objective. I am surprised how far you took what seemed to be a not very safe situation.
I enjoy your channel and trust you.
There are times your video's just piss me off. They make me mad because you are young, have grabbed life by the balls, doing what you love to do, have a fine young lady to call your companion and you tell it like it is. Reminds me of myself 50 years ago. Oh the memories. Don't ever let ANYONE stop you from doing what you want to do. The worst thing is to be old and near the end and say to yourself, " I wish I had tried......." I hope I can maybe one day soon at least try PPG. You have given me at least one last goal. Don't stop doing what your doing. Screw everyone else that puts you down because they are jealous of what you do so much better than they do. Keep on Keeping on!
I can’t agree more with all your comments sir. I’m a 61 year old who found Tucker on You tube and he has got me hooked on the sport love his vids.Probably won’t get one? but the thought of doing this at his age would have been brilliant.
You rock Tucker.
Great video tucker
So close to one mil congrats
Trustworthy, forgiving and and a reasonable amount of feedback are traits that I appreciate with motorcycles, sports cars, romantic partners and apparently it's a good idea with paramotor wings as well.
Good job Tucker. Much respect. I dont fly paragliders but love to watch you do it! Im more into traditional airplanes. But to each his own... as long at it gets you into the air!
Tks for the video! Nice info..
To be truth and honest is, as I see it, the only way to go ahead! Tank you!
People talk smack as they are jealous, keep on keeping on. Don’t let them piss you off. Love your vlogs 👍
Well done buddy 🙏
THANKS TUCKER! Don't let the bastards get ya down...Good Job! Just keep doing what you doing.
Great video keep up the good 👍👍
Wow Tucker. You are about at 1 million! Congrats man!
Good analysis.
5:20 "Out ran the wing," - very cool observation!
Well done! Never apologize for telling the truth.
Well done Tucker, sorry you had to make that video. I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates your opinion and unbiased way you deliver your content.
Dont ever stop!
You definitely did the right thing!!!
I can not believe you do not have 1 mil subs yet
Soooo close though
With vids like yours you should have way more recognition
As a certificated pilot, Aerospace educator, and guy with common sense: That wing was riding the back end of the L/D curve the whole time. ‘Tis is why you had to pull the front down with the As. Either that 16 is too small for you, (probably not) or has a deeper design issue. Speed and maneuverability and efficiency are for the most part mutually exclusive. You can’t have a wing that has good maneuverability (Excess lift and low rolling moment) and one that cruises fast and efficient (lower lift and low drag higher aspect ratio = higher rolling moment).
The WARP looks like it was designed for slalom ( high speed) and as such is going to have a poor low speed performance meaning no wind launches are going to be less than enjoyable.
They should just call it like it is: The Lancair of the paraglider world. When what you really want is something more like a Cessna182: not lightning fast but takes off and lands in half the distance and more enjoyable for sightseeing and local area flights.
I agree with a lot of what you mentioned and in this case, I don't think the tradeoff is worth it. The wing performs slightly better than the Freeride with a dramatically worse stall point. If you check out the recent slalom competitions, the Freeride is still beating the Warp. The Warp may be acceptable if it was crushing the Freeride, but it's not.
Thanks for making some good points!... Tucker indicated at the beginning he was looking for an, "all around, good flying wing"... The warp does not fit that mission!
Good feedback. It seems like it's a weird stall onset, but one that's happening very gently, which is denying him the feedback that he's used to in flying. It's not uncommon in aerospace, but it's something that designers specifically avoid in civil aircraft, because it's so easy to crash. That spin onset sounds like a classic stall to spin entry, which is among the leading killers in civil aviation.
Lets call it what it is, Stalled, back end of the L/D curve. Be careful when comparing Paramotors to regular winged aircraft, paramotors are better described as Pendulum Planes. Pendulum Planes fly radically different than your average airplane. Example, your thoughts on low rolling moment (of inertia) do not apply quite the way you think for Pendulum Planes. The roll moment of inertia changes very little with respect to the size of the wing, Pendulum Planes don't roll like regular airplanes. What a Pendulum Plane does to roll fast is to apply the lift from the ailerons (wing tips) to accelerate the wing along the Y-Axis. Essentially, all the mass, the pendulum, the pilot and motor are stationary, and the extra lift at the wing tip is used to pull (accelerate) the entire wing to the side, left or right. This is exactly opposite of an rigid airplane. High roll rates should be achievable with any Pendulum Plane Wing as the moment of roll inertia changes very little, all the mass is in the pendulum, unlike ridged aircraft.
@@TuckerGott Probably has more to do with the Airfoil shape, the Warp to little camber, it's flat. So, when the Stall occurs the entire wing stalls at the same time resulting in a massive loss of lift. With a more cambered airfoil, the stall occurs more gradually, it starts more towards trailing edge of the wing and moves forward as Angle of Attack increases, this causes buffeting as it begins to stall. Going from full on flying to a full on stall at low altitudes is a recipe for disaster.
From my vantage point you are a professional. Almost 1 mil subscriber base. You are an influencer. Your opinion matters.
Wow... almost a million subscribers.... won't be long. Keep up the good work Tucker.
Tucker great video I appreciate your honest explanation... :)
Good on you mate, a good follow up vid. Keep up the good work. I enjoy watching your vids and the experiences you share. Being a novice pilot I need all the tips I can get. A lot of bullshit out there however, I find your reviews, tips and general knowledge of flying very informative. Thankyou Tucker.
Well said!
Admire your honesty.
much respect
"i am not a professional pilot"
literally flies in airshow at Oshkosh...
tucker you are a professional...accept it haha
You have a point. Hes kinda a pro at this point. He makes a living off making videos of flying paramotor and performs in the paradigm team. Going pro is literally defined as making a living off the activity.
Agreed, but the term "professional" can be defined different ways. At the very very least, I would consider him, with his Flight team and Airshow experience, an Expert. The company should take his criticisms to heart and re-evaluate the design and make revisions where needed.
He’s def a pro at this point in his life....Im waiting for him to open his own flight school and Ill be first to pay to get more training. He did every step correct learning to pilot and it really shows..... he def shines out of a crowd of people! 👍🏻😬
In times past I have noted that Tucker is NOT a highly experienced or advanced pilot. This is NOT true anymore. He has developed his skills and his private pilot experience has helped him to WIN his very FIRST Icarus Iron Man attempt and has become advanced enough to join the Paradigm Demonstration team. He is NOT as developed as some acro pilots but he is an adventure pilot rather than an acro specialist. He is VERY good at his specialty. Which is cross-country and LIGHT aerobatics.
@@Eroc556 Honestly if you look at tuckers choices in wing selection through his progression I question his judgement. There are videos of him flying advanced level wings within his first year and jumping to competition level gliders right after. There is obviously no way he could have gotten the required airtime to safely fly these wings within the time frames.
Thank you!
I thought your choice of a title for the first video of the wing, "The ABSOLUTE WORST wing I have ever launched" may have been overly harsh, and after watching that video, I think you probably meant to say "The ABSOLUTE WORST-LAUNCHING wing I have ever unboxed".
Outside of that, Tucker, I found your remarks very informative -- clear and fair, as usual.
Great video! I am an aspiring Paramotor pilot currently taking lessons and value the honesty that you put to us for consideration. The info you give us is up to our interpretation. The glass is half full or half empty depending on who you are and what your experience is. I am not ready for a wing like this, but I am much more the wiser about wings overall. Safe flights to us all!
Wow that sunset @ your point of no return !!
Great watch as usual. Keep doing what you are doing.Ignore the haters.
You did the right thing Tucker,this looks like a specialised wing with some instability built in a bit like a fully aerobatic aircraft and hey dude- you're still alive...............
Thank you very much for that honest opinion. I really feel like you just might have saved someone a very serious incident or even worse. Keep up the good work sir!
