Intentionally Collapsing The Wing!! - Ozone Mojo Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 07. 2024
- While we were waiting for the wind to die down, I decided to take the Mojo up for a quick flight. I am super impressed with this wing. It maneuvers well, it's fun to fly, and it handled collapses better than I imagined. I would definitely recommend this wing for a beginner.

I'm 81 years old and really enjoy your videos. Your explanations of how things work are truly informative. Keep it up and stay safe.
*82
Do you fly PPG?

@@samcohan102 Uh- nope. Still 83
@Mateo S stupid comment dude... are you still up there?
I love the videos. Would you do a video talking about your reserve? Maybe the different types and when you'd use it? Keep up the awesome work!
Tucker, thanks for this video. I made the mistake of watching paramotor accident videos before I take classes and I was feeling a bit disenchanted with the safety factor of these wings. This video just put my anxiety at rest. This ol' man will definitely be taking your advice and starting out with an 'A' wing.
Awesome man! Don't let those videos scare you too much. Most accidents can be avoided with good decision making.
Funny, but I am intentionally watching the accident videos to know more about what kinds of things can happen and be more ready for it if/when I jump into this sport.
I second that. Same for me. Makes me feel more comfortable to start this hobby.
Same - Ive been watching accident videos to see just how badly it can go wrong and what safety options are available to rectify issues. Quite a few online including intentional tangles and even a bird strike and both survived with the use of a reserve.
Thanks Tucker for the video. Interesting and as always informative. I would never have thought to ask about this topic. Well done.
I did the same thing. Got into the air my first time and had to land because nerves were getting to me. This video eases a lot of that!
Love watching your weekly videos. At 46 years old, I just got into PPG. I also have the same Ozone wing, but large to carry my 230 lb body! It's been a long dream of mine and I'm happy to report I am loving it! Your videos are inspirational, keep them coming!
I'm 6'6", 240, and would also like to get into the sport. any tips on large sized equipment I might need?
1MinuteFlipDoc I have same questione?
Me too. I do have a few hundred hours in hang gliders. But that was centuries ago. I’m 59 @240#s. And live at 4000’
@russluck4290 are you still flying?
This advice is invaluable and will ultimately keep people in the sport and also make them better pilots -well said Mr Gott.
This is the wing that was recommended to me for my first wing!! Thank you for the review Tucker, you don't know how much this is appreciated :) :) :)
thanks for another highly inspirational video. always fun to watch and listen to you.
Thank you for making the videos that you do. I've always been interested in flying, but so far never had the ability. The videos that you make have taught me a lot & help to keep that dream of flight alive. Thanks again!
Thanks man, another great video. I like your honest feedback on the products you try. I feel much better seeing you demonstrate how safe this wing can be. This really showed the difference between the high performance wings you fly and a beginner wing. I was a little scared for you during the stall and collapse demo, but I like how you also explained that you were up high and had your reserve for safety. You do a good job of demonstrating responsible flying and you are a good spokesman for this sport. Keep the videos coming and stay safe!
Thanks Michael, I appreciate it!
This is what I've been looking A totally safe wing for somebody who is 59 now and has had 25 leg, knee and arm surgery's from the age of 17 . Thanks Tucker
Passengers ask me if ultralighting is safe. I go "Yeah, pretty safe," then pretend to do some mental math and correct myself "87% safe". 😲
Thanks Tucker, this makes me feel more confident in a beginner wing.
Same! Especially in thermally and turbulent air.
I was looking into getting a mojo for my first wing. i dont care if its slow im not going to fly for speedy travel or tricks purposes just sight seeing and the experience.
thanks for showing it.
U will find uself wanting more shortly after haha
That wing looks incredible!... looked so smooth and steady from start to finish..... i want one of these
Great video as always. It's so sweet how you make it feel like I'm the one up there flying.
Once again, your vids are a pleasure to watch! Thanks!
love this video, have been thinking for months how the mojo would be a perfect starter wing and this seals the deal
Thank you for these. I like learning about the safety aspect of a good wing.
Once again, an awesome video and very informative :)
tucker you say your know instructer but your such a great speaker and you should be an instructer!! your attitude is amazing id pay good money for a well explaining instructer!! ,safe flying tucker another great video 🤗safe flying👍🏻🇦🇺
I want to get into paramotoring but as an older guy I want to be safe and cautious. This looks
like the ideal wing to start with. Watching Tucker perform these moves makes me feel a lot
better about the safety of certain wings. Obviously a lot of different things can happen and
nothing is 100% perfect but seeing this Mojo pop back in place is comforting.
I’m 65 and have been a licensed experimental powered parachute pilot for many years, this is something I wanted to take lessons for but never did. Looks like great fun. Thanks for the reviews and GoPro videos
You had me convinced I wanted to learn..love your thoroughness..I talked myself out of it just the amount of time I would have to relax and do it was my take down..thx
I love your vids and catch myself watching and leaning into your turns as you are flying. . . . Stay Safe and Always Have FUN . . .
Thanks T-Gottem! This was super reinsuring about that wing's capabilities and safety.
Tucker, nice flight and review man! Looking forward to seeing both you guys in the air at the same time. I just had my first flights Monday with my Spyder and she flies beautifully. Still Smiling!
My favorite installment yet. Great instruction.
sick flight. thanks for making that video. helping me decide on a new wing.
New paraglider here. What a clean informative and fun educational video! Learnt a lot! Thanks bro! 👍🏽
Amazing Man! I love your videos. I have always dreamed of becoming a pilot but its just too expensive but now seeing your videos makes me want to start out with this.
Big fan of your videos, I learn so much and I’m taking my first lessons this July 2020
Wonderful demo and encouraging review on this wing! Thanks for the review :)
Great info Tucker. I'm a 63 year old guy who has never flown or even thought of it. But your videos are really inspiring and well produced. This wing would be my speed for sure. I would be a slow cruiser kinda guy. I've watched every video of yours. keep 'em coming.
Love this channel. Thanks for the advice on the A wing Tucker.
Good stuff, man! Doin' the sport proud as always!
Hey, I've been meaning to ask, what brand of throttle are you sporting? I haven't been able to find it.
Thanks man! It's an Air Conception throttle. I think it may be new, I haven't seen it online. The guys at Aviator Ppg have them.
Cool, thanks! I'll have to look into that. I find the stock Vit throttle to be a bit cumbersome.
This video answers a question I had asked on another one of your videos the other day. Also the idea of shuttin her down and doing some gliding for spot landings actually interests me more than coming in under power.
I'm 82 and I have bad knees so I doubt that it would be possible for me to fly. However, I get a lot of vicarious pleasure following your adventures. I am a dedicated subscriber!!
I love this video to show that you don't need to push the boundaries to give you a buzz, The wing rights itself and that itself will give you the procedure needed to be safe. this is built-in for a reason and I love this
Tucker.........great video..........explained a lot. Being visual it help tons. I am signed up with the Aviator PPG of Florida......can't wait............
I was waiting for this vlog. A great wing to have.
As always great video. Scary watching that wing collapse!
the review on the wing I'm going to buy ! thanks Tucker Gott
Tucker, excellent video. I fly an A in motor but mostly free flight. My wing handles thermals and punchy air well, no collapes yet in up to 3.2 meters per second up. Beginner wings are fun, keep you safe and while they can't perform like the higher spectrum wings, they are a ton of fun to learn to wring out everything they do offer. Great video :)
Great video, just bought a mojo5 looking forward to getting up with it
Tucker! I am in the process of buying a Mojo PWR for myself and this video just reassured any doubts I had! Trading the old Muse II for something newer. I don't see the need to get into a more intense wing to enjoy paramotoring. As long as I'm airborne, I am one happy pilot! Keep it up bro!
Great video man. Feelt good to se what happens in a collapse I've learned alot looking at your vids. Im hopping to buy my first paramotor and wing this coming week !
Well don't keep us hanging!
What are you getting??
Scout, AC, BH, who??
It's most likely gonna be a Kangook Polini Thor 200 with a Apco Lift EZ ! :)
Im a big dude so i dont mind some extra kg on my back. And some extra horsepower to
Backfiring: let the engine idle 30 seconds after higher RPM operation, and check for exhaust leaks. I removed the exhaust head and put Permatex 81878 Ultra Copper RTV on both sides of the exhaust gasket before reassembling. Haven't had a backfire since.
Interesting, I haven't seen any exhaust leaks yet. I brought the idle down a little and haven't had a backfire since.
Just an FYI, Backfire vs afterburn: A backfire is an explosion that's created by an engine that occurs in the air intake system rather than inside the combustion chamber...... ,
An Afterfire, sometimes called Afterburn, is an audible popping sound, individual or multiple that often occurs when the fuel/air mixture is too rich or has a momentary instance of a rich condition. This pop at times can and do resemble small caliber firearms going off. Afterfire occur in the exhaust system..........
the backfire happened, like you said because you killed the motor at too high an rpm. it is a 2 stroke motor, and the fuel is drawn into the motor through the carburetor by suction of the piston. this still happens as the motor is turning, even though you dont have spark. so once that nicely atomized fuel hits your hot exhaust. it backfires. if the compression of the motor is high enough, and the fuel grade too low. you can even continue to run for a few revs with no spark, like a diesel :)
Perfect advice, I was wondering exactly this was you said, thank you. 👍🏽
love the videos and love the channel. keep it up tuck
Nice job Tucker!
Awesome video Tucker..thanks!
I so appreciate this video may be more so than any other it has educated me greatly on what to look for in a beginner wing fore it's given me the technical information that makes me feel more secure in a wing that then it collapse it then rights itself and make itself correct again! thanks so much for this video!
been viewing your videos for two solid days .. 73 year old ex hang glider pilot .. fly model helicopters sail r/c boats . but never gelled with the hang gliding scene . I managed loads of take-offs and mostly arrivals if that is what a landing is supposed to be called . Paragliding looked dodgy to me having witnessed some scary collapses with the bags of washing so unfortunately never moved on and now too old to risk it .Love your adventures and super hands on approach.
Awesome video as usual. This is the same idea as the "slow car fast" thing in the car world. You gain a lot more as a driver by learning how to drive a slow car fast than you do out of starting in a high-powered sports car. You become better by mastering your equipment than by using it as a crutch.
I fly the trusty Mojo2. It's the most docile and forgiving wing you could ever imagine. Won't stall or collapse unless I do something really really stupid!
Let's hope Jaclyn will have just as much fun with her new wing as you do! Great flying, Master!
Hey man great job on the Video! That was sick dude keep it up!
Safety is a good thing.
If you live today, you can have fun another time...
:D too much fun. I love the Mojo!
We have Mojo parties here weekly.
Is the Mojo wing a reflex wing? and if so... it would lose it's good A rating if trimmed in reflex...is this not a good idea for a beginner pilot?
sick flight. thanks for making that video.
Thanks for the review, very helpful
Great video man! Could you do a video that goes through and shows all that you need to start gliding and what you'd recommend for a beginner?
Is this in Pittstown New Jersey?
BeckBroJack it is NJ, up north
Great Video with a great review with advice of a wing that should be the foundation for anyone new,,in the sport ( crawling comes before walking and running,,, LOL thats just the way it is)(( Baby steps)) and I cant wait to see more of Jaclyn up in the air with you . Tucker, your a great power motor pilot and I think you have yet to tap the potential you have as an instructor to teach and share this great sport with others ;-)
Dude, great tips. Good info. Thanks!
I am totally sold, dude you are a good salesman!
I'd love to see the foot cam angle Tucker. I fly a 21m Macpara Charger, also a great beginner wing. Looking to move up to the Ozone Spyder. Seeing these maneuvers from different angles really helps me learn. Thanks!
I'm definitely going to do that with a foot cam. Hopefully a SAT and a full frontal too.
Sweet! Thanks! Tell Jacquelyn (spelling sorry) hi from another female pilot! Great to have her join the ranks.
Look forward to it Tucker. Great video once again.
I can lend you my 360 camera, and that way we can see every aspect of the maneuvers. PM me if you are interested. I am 1 hour from you, Bergen county.
Shannon, did you get your Spyder?
This was both sobering and encouraging at the same time. That B Stall...i was sweating watching you do that...
Tuck, plenty of discussion on wings around YT. Can you do a video on harnesses? Including the differences between PPG and PG. What is a good starter harness that a beginner should begin with?
Ah, it lands so gently!! Im pleased
Getting into this! Thanks for the vids
Nice day. 🤠. Weather is excellent there.
huge thanks to aviator PPG... great content from this. thanks!
Thank you very much for your videos I learn a lot from them , you re the best ....
Tucker. next time you go up try another asymmetric collapse and pull the A's further so the whole side of the wing collapses and folds under. that's a proper asymmetric collapse. And that was a great B-line line stall! that's Just how I do it
I don't know anything about flying, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to "intentionally collapse" anything while in the air 😂 Keep this up, very awesome!
Exactly I'm sure there is better ways to make money besides trying to kill myself
dude this seriously was one of the coolest videos youv done and made alot of ppl think of the sport alot safer as long as your smart and know where your limits and having pateince does. And also.... why wouldnt you want the safest wing possible even for the first 2 years.... i dont get ppls wishes to die hahah i like my life... and would like to fly a million more times....
hello Tucker , In your Opinion in "windy" conditions lets say from 5km/h upwords, between that wing and the universal what would you advice as a begginer wing?
thanks!
Roger
Great video,, Can you use the same wing if your have the motor or using the dynamic lift on the coast
Damn that wing sounds crisp. Much new wow. One of my first packs after getting cleared was a brand new sport wing, maybe 7 jumps. I think I held that poor guy up for an hour..
One of the nicest things about PPG seems to be the fact you don't have to pack your wing up ever flight :D
Awsome stuff! You now have fans in Sweden too 😊
I'm buying my fly-equipment next week, a little bit of training then I will be able to see the world from the above...
Have a good one Tucker!
How did it go Frederic? Did you pull through?
Karol C I sure did... But last time I flew, a couple weeks ago, my throttle cable went in to the prop mod flight. I was about 500 ft above ground and hade a field to land in, so no real drama except for a little tailwind at the moment of the landing.
@@fredericsvensson2858 Amazing! We just started our training. Glad to see people pulled through and continue the sport!@ :)
@@fredericsvensson2858 And glad you are safe!
Karol C Wow! I really hope training goes well and I would love to see some clips from you in the air later on! Good luck!
so what would be a good beginner paramotor to look at? i am getting interested in this, it is kinda scary though so i dont know lol.
9:26 There's two types of backfires. Lean back fire which you're likely experiencing, and timing backfire. Pre ignition is a type of timing backfire where the carbon build up in your engine glows like coals in a fire and ignites fuel like a glow plug in a diesel engine.
Anytime you dump the throttle and the RPM's are high- it creates a lean condition. You see it all the time in dirt bikes.
Glow plugs just warm the cylinder air.
Great video. I have the XL version of that wing.
What is the weight limit for the XL KB90KB?
Great vid -- all the reviews I have seen on this wing so far have been great - I know EN-A wings are slower..... to increase the safety factor... but with your BH motor what was you average level speed do you think?
Cheers, Patrick
Tucker, I'm new to this form of flying and want to know, can you Thermal with the right wing? I live near all sizes of mountains and sailplanes are very popular here. Thanks Bob
I havent felt that sense of anxiety for you since i saw your first vid from reddit lol crazy man
I need to find some training in my area! According to the usppa there are two in my state, so time to start saving lol.
Learned something new today....wings are full of cells which contain pockets of air. Now it makes sense when you mention the wing inflating.
Great stall tutorial. Thank you.
man, your wing control is paramount
damn balls of steel collapsing the wing just for fun for the first time xD
Haha, I was pretty sure it would be no big deal.
Tucker Go
Ups, touch screen... well I have watched couple of your videos and what a nice flying, makes me want to take a course some day.
I imagine its better to practice to be prepared for it in a controlled situation rather than a sudden surprise too!
Great video, Tucker. I've had to put off the dream of flight for another 3-4 years due to costs of life coming up, nooooo!
Personally i'd rather more of a slower wing, i wanna do this for the sight seeing rather than trick stuff :D
+licespray i agree with you 100%; do it on purpose, to become proficient "when it will append"...
I was thinking about going used on my first wing, but after seeing the sky school and your review of this wing, I guess I'm going to have to buy new, unless I can find one of these from someone "moving up". Looks like exactly what I am looking for, a safe docile nature with a little bit of spark, still. It looks like this one turns really nice and tightly for an A wing.
"Spot landings are fun". "I don't really have a spot for this one". Probably makes them easier to accomplish, accurately. ;-)
Great video! This video is 4 years old so would you say that the Mojo is still the best PPG beginner's wing?
Tucker thank you this video is very inspirational for me ;) I would like to ask from your experience if I have my total takeoff weight with PPG inside upper level of freeflight range would it be possible enjoy thermalling as usual or drag from PPG will kill this option?
Looking forward for next mojo video inflight talk!
The drag of the motor definitely takes away efficiency but you can thermal still.
thanks man sweet review
Hey Tucker I have really enjoyed watching your videos. I have never flown other than in a jet but I want to start flying a paramotor and I really like the wing that you are using in this video for a beginner. Who is it put out by and what is the name of the wing ? Thanks
Really educational, thanks 👍
Cool! How much different is this one from the Roadster 2 and Spyder?
Tucker, I love your videos man I have been watching non stop lately so I can make a smart educated decision as to risk vs reward. This wing seems great! Where in Nj is this? I'm in Sussex county and it looks very similar. I would love to learn more from you.
When are we gonna see more experiments with this wing? This video was pretty darn informative!
could you make a video on using the break? you mentiond pre loading it and using both brakes
