Not really sound advice though. What if you read what dishonest evil people write? That's reading... research how? You have to look at the skill and competency and honesty of whom you talk to and think through it intelligently. A beginner can't really "research" a wing. They don't have a clue what one wing is compared to another. So people need to listen to SUPERDELL and buy what ever he says to buy. People buy total death trap gear all the time because they "read" how great it was from liars. You have to actually compare true and real characteristics of each glider to each other glider. How do you do that though unless you test them yourself? Plus how exactly would you test when you are not even a pilot? Again you can't. You have to buy what SUPERDELL tells you to buy. Each characteristic is shown and explained and demonstrated and proven. Others calling a wing "good" is not a review.

If you are flying that gear then you are not getting real actual training sir. You really need to take a long honest look at where your skill level is truly at compared to the real actual skills of SUPER students that you can see all over youtube. Since there is no true and real training outside of SUPER training you reaaaaally want to consider bailing immediately on the fake training and just doing it right. Of course you should double check what I'm saying by comparing skills against skills to eliminate any opinion or bias. The truth is your life depends on getting real actual training along with real actual gear. The Bulldog is a horrible paramotor that doesn't have any of the safety updates that are life & death critical and the Atom 80 is a horrible motor. You hardly save any weight from the super powerful 200R on the Flat Top but despite having half the power you have way over double the torque steer. The Atom 80 starts nicely but it's gutless and has terrible torque steer. Plus with no protection from the prop, crumple zone or face plant protection let alone any of the hundreds of other safety advanced that the Flat Top has you really should NOT attempt to fly that unit let alone attempt to fly it without even getting true and real training. You are setting yourself up for a nightmare. I would highly recommend you divert your course to one that sets you up for success.

It's totally fine. The Dominator does have a high angle of attack at trim speed which is why it's so safe. Yes it's also ridiculously stall resistant so no he is not going to just accidentally stall it. Yes it's common for newbies to pull too much brake on launch. Really you only need about 4-6 inches when you do it correctly. You can see it improve drastically towards the end of their SUPER training.

From my ELSA training, the video looked like the guy was pulling right brake to turn right but was goingt to slow. I was trained to line my ELSA to the runway flying with control bar pulled all the way towards me engine in idle. This had me flying at 65 - 70 Knots. The prop speed determines whether you climb or land. My instructor told me to never push the control bar forward on a landing to get the ELSA higher in the air if I was to low. Always apply power. Other wise you stall and fall right out of the sky. This guy was going to slow and stalled the lift on the right side wing tip. Then he tried to compensate with the left brake and had a complete collapse. Meaning he kept the right brake on and applied the left to collapsed both wing tips. He should have applied prop speed and backed off on the right brake and either abort landing or land further down the field. This is my observation.
@DellSchanze Жыл бұрын
Yea without proper training or gear it's pretty sickening how the same old stupid things happen over and over in the exact same ways. Had that been a Dominator he wouldn't have stalled without extreme force and effort and with proper training the odds of him burying the brakes and holding them there as hard as he could with be pretty minimal.

I keep seeing the landings and kitting. I noticed the people kitting are maniputating the brake lines above the actaull brakes (pulling on the strings). I am trying to figure out what skills you keep referring to? You must be talking about manipulating the lines and using WSC at the same time. I also assume with a motor on your back, one must WSC, slightly placing angle corrections on the prop dirction while maniputating the brakes? I have not seen anyone toucn any other control other than the brake.
@DellSchanze Жыл бұрын
As students gain that level of skill it doesn't matter if you are touching the brake lines directly or the using he brake toggles to do it. The result and feel is the same. Also forwards and backwards doesn't matter at all as once again the feel is the critical thing to learn and SUPER students very quickly get to where they can kite both forwards and reverse with their eyes closed and without even any hands on the controls. So there is a ton more to it than you might think you are seeing. The skills you learn on the ground are exactly the same skills you need in the air and they can't really be learned in the air interestingly enough. Try learning to balance a broomstick on your finger... by holding it from the top. You can't. In the air you naturally hand under the glider so you wouldn't build the skill to keep the glider above you but would learn backwards and let the glider stay up while you just tell it which way to go. On the ground though it's constantly trying to fall down as it doesn't want to stay above you naturally so you learn mastery level skills of keeping it absolutely perfectly above you and loaded exactly to the ounce you need. That skill in the air is exactly the skill it takes to truly active pilot the glider. Yes the glider is ridiculously safe and stable on it's own but add in active piloting and you increase that stability by a ridiculous factor. Paragliders can be flown in turbulence you wouldn't even fly a small airplane in. A paraglider is specifically designed to be flown mid day in active thermic conditions right in the mountains. That's what it's made for. It's a glider. With proper gear and training the safety is absolutely incredible even doing that. There is a lot more to it than you might expect. Mastering skills with a paraglider is MUCH harder than flying a plane. Try it with SUPER training and you will see. If you graduate SUPER training then you are freaking AWESOME!!! We don't put newbies in the air, only experts. You literally have better than expert level skills with that glider with incredible feel and reflexes before you ever take your first flights. That is why SUPER training creates the best skills in the air and has the best safety in the world. It's not even comparable.

I have a Light Sport Aircraft license. I flew and experimental light sport aircraft. Some people call them ultralight which isn't accurate do to the weight of my aircraft. To fly an ELSA takes a hell of a lot more skill than a paramotor. I am assuming oscillations are the pendulum type of swinging in the air. I know exactly how to correct this. And my wing was extremly stable. You have to stop the oscillation using the controls. It is in the timing of the swing. I had to learn this coming in for a landing at 65 Knots. If you could not come in level and not swinging, you could not land and abort. I flew 25 hours training. I had to use sectional charts and go on a 50 mile cross country by my self, landing at three airports, I had to take and FAA test, I had to fly with an FAA examiner and pass an oral test. I don't understand what this guy is talking about "Roll Stable" Turbulence normally caused my oscillation and overcorrecting for it made it worse. Watching this guy crash in this video, he looked like he was training to correct the oscillation using controls but had no idea how to accomplish this. Why would a company sell wings that are not roll stable? And even if the wing is roll stable, you will get into an oscillation sooner or later.
@DellSchanze Жыл бұрын
Well I think you would quickly find that paramotor skills take much more than it does to fly an aircraft. So real training is very critical. A glider that isn't roll stable means instead of trying to stay straight and level on it's own it will actually roll harder and harder until it loops you face first into the ground unless you specifically stop it from happening. Yes why would any rational honest person sell such a horrible pile of crap wing that isn't even roll stable? That's my question as well. They are just freaking evil pushing those death traps at all let alone pushing them onto a total newbie who doesn't even have proper training. It's sick. Imagine selling an airplane to beginners where if you let go of the controls it immediately tried to flip upside down. Yea that's how bad that crap is that Tucker Gott and countless other seriously evil people try to push onto others. It's horrifying and has caused countless deaths and piles of carnage. It's easy to talk about your great skills you developed from your training but how about show a video to back them up? I do like the method of having a separate examiner giving the test that is not the instructor. Of course dishonest people will still be dishonest and honest people will still be honest regardless of methods. So people really do need to think about the competency and integrity of those they trust their life to.

Notice at the moment of collapse, the flag also appears to collapse. I theorize he was flying slightly downwind, and a large gust hit him from behind. If you are flying only slightly above the stall speed, and you get a big tail wind, you will stall. This has happened to me many times flying RC planes and I've crashed a few times under theses conditions. The effect is to drop like a rock to the ground, and it happens very quickly. I suspect he had the trims extended, and perhaps with speed bar, so the stall speed was at its highest when the gust hit. IF he had a safe wing, it would have most likely recovered. This is what happens when you fly "on the margins" as we say in RC flying.
@DellSchanze Жыл бұрын
There is no such thing as wind in the air. So no there is no such thing as a tail wind. It only pertains to the ground speed not air speed. If you have 200 mph wind on the ground and you fly in a circle at 30mph you will go exactly 30mph air speed in every direction. No such thing as wind. Only your ground speed will change drastically. So no there was no major gust that created negative airspeed or zero airspeed. Look at the wing before the collapse. Almost not a twitch. It was very mild conditions. Hoaxflex death traps are just horrifically unstable so the slightest bit of turbulence caused the collapse and hoaxflex death traps don't recover which is why we call them death traps.

Take the same collapse on a Dominator and the odds are you would barely notice it and it would be open faster than you could look up. Ask around and see if you can find anyone that has actually SEEN their Dominator collapse. It literally opens soooo fast that there is no way you can look up fast enough to just see what you felt.

This discussion is very interesting. I'm glad I found this video. I agree with your technical analysis of Gott's errors, he doesn't know much about aeronautics or flight theory, only his own experience flying. He is basically the Shaun White of paramotoring - flamboyant and high risk, with the high likelihood of a future disastrous crash himself. He's way to young to really understand what he's doing, he's a youthful idiot, but very entertaining, and therefore he has over a million followers. People like Tucker tent to push the limits until they reach it - which is usually the end. People want to watch that kind of flying because it's interesting. The fact that his friend died and there was never an explanation about the details makes me think they downplayed the danger of the wings they were flying. Most likely his friend was performing acrobatic maneuvers like Tucker does in his videos, and he made a mistake and took a collapse and crashed. I watched a video of a guy that took an asymmetric collapse after he was speed-baring his wing on one of those 'high performance' wings, when he pressed the speed bar with the trims released. He was flying at 1000 ft., and in 15 seconds he was at 50ft, and the wing recovered just in time. A hundred ft. lower when the collapse happened and he would have been dead. He was flying one of those 'death trap' wings that you are constantly warning about. It seems to me the industry is marketing these kinds of wings to the young and foolish types that crave excitement without any real grasp of the danger.
@DellSchanze Жыл бұрын
Realize again that they are not "high performance". Despite being total death traps with HUNDREDS dead they still can't beat the performance of the ridiculously safe Dominator that I recommend until something beats it. There is ZERO you can do on the death traps that you can't do on the super duper safe Dominator. So there is ZERO point to the hundreds of deaths. It's just sheer ignorance or total stupidity. If there was a huge performance increase then you could at least say that you sacrifice safety for added performance but the fact is I set the paramotor world speed record at 51mph on the super duper safe Dominator and it's never been beaten. They make videos lying and trying to pretend they beat it but it doesn't take much logical reasoning to see their attempts are fake and just total lies. So all those deaths are simply for the murderous scumbags like Tucker to make money. He doesn't give one single crap about people's lives. No his friend wasn't doing "acro" on a trike. He was flying straight and level like 96% of them that die. Straight and level when the slightest turbulence caused a collapse and WHAP they hit the ground face first at between 80-105 mph. Same thing over and over and over and over. Death after death and they just lie and pretend 99% is because of "acro". Total lie. You can watch people taking collapses flying straight and level on that crap and watch them do backflip 180s and lock into face down spirals. If you don't have 900+ ft of altitude then you die. The odds of taking a collapse at some point? 100%. So what are the odds of death on a hoaxflex death trap? 100%.
