Yeah, I loved my Pluma, but repairs with the carbon fiber were getting expensive. Figured I'd try something different. Both the Parajet and the Pluma had their advantages and disadvantages. But overall both are great comfortable flying machines. The Pluma was a Cadillac in the air, and the 3D swing arms are a lot of fun. The Parajet is a lot simpler but still durable, comfy, and light!

Awesome! Welcome! As I said I don't post here very often. I'm living in CA now and there isn't much to see. Hoping to try out some beach flying in the near future.

They brought the water down because they are building that new dam.

@@theflyingveteran6250 I didn't know that Thanks! I knew I heard that it was failing somewhere or sumpin like that. There HAS TO BE least ten million pounds of lead weights and lures on the bottom and in those trees!!

That is from the Livetrack24 website. I link my FlySkyHi app on my iPhone to it. But you can link android apps as well.

I don't have any comparisons since it's the one and only euc I've ever ridden. I do have a new Veteran Sherman in the way though.

Doing well now. I had one big fall but it was due to an overlean. The wheel shut off when I was going about 25 mph and I faceplanted. Luckily I was wearing all the right protective gear.

The Flying Veteran Glad to hear you’re OK. Was the 18XL your first wheel?

@@flhandster4395 Yep. I'm thinking about getting a 16X next.

The Flying Veteran If you could choose your first wheel all over again, would you still have chosen the 18XL or a different wheel?

@@flhandster4395 Sorry I missed your reply. I think it did well for a first wheel. I'm glad I went big so that I had room to grow into it. I probably would have gotten board with a smaller slower wheel pretty quickly. I have an even faster wheel on the way now.

Oh, and I’m 54, but think I’m not too old for this :)

As long as you are physically capable and enjoying yourself who cares how old you are. It just takes us older guys a little while longer to learn new skills like this.

D E I’ve got over 650 miles under my belt now. And I’m really enjoying it. Next thing I want to learn is how to go in reverse.

Awesome! Hope it didn’t leave too many rubber marks on the floor 😆. I practiced in the basement and you can see tire marks all over now. Have fun!

41mph?! You’re a madman and I love it. XD

@@theflyingveteran6250 40 years old and trying to kill myself. I need full leathers really lol

Thanks! Been a little busy lately so I don’t post as often. But I haven’t given up yet!

Hehe, sorry it took so long to edit. I just didn't have the time/motiviation. I'm stuck in Afghanistan right now, so I ran out of excuses.

I don't recall the file size (huge!), but it took all day to stitch. Probably about 8-10 hours or more using an nVidia 1080ti.

I answered this in your previous comment. FlySkyHi linked to LiveTrack24.

The App is called FlySkyHi. It's linked to the LiveTrack24 website.

He's doing ok. Still not flying, but he's decided to get a trike. So hopefully he'll be in the air soon.

Dale Reid Yes I did. It helped a lot! Though on nil wind landings it still helps to take a wrap.

Without the slack, the toggles rested below my shoulders. The wing didn't even start turning until I pulled down to almost to elbow level. With the 4 inches out the brake toggles rest at about ear level and start engaging around shoulder level, which is comfortable for me. Before I took the slack out, I tried landing without taking a wrap and ended up on my knees because I couldn't run it out fast enough. I don't want to have to take the time to wrap my lines when landing, especially if there's an emergency situation.

The Flying Veteran cool. Sounds like it worked out.

Above The Pines Gotcha! I’m going to have to learn how to fold it properly for that bag. I’ve been using my emergency pumpkin until the new one comes in.

The Flying Veteran when you release the straps that bag is a full stiluff sack. Lots of vids out there, but here is the just. Rosette the wing like normal, place it in the middle of the easy bag, gather all the spars at the center, take that bundle and turn I to middle of the wing, tuck rest of excess wing on top and close up the bag. Good demo, kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioq5i2x4f7OnmLs

Above The Pines Great! So pretty much what I do anyway!

The Flying Veteran perhaps.

Cool.

David Northup Thanks for the tips! I was surprised at how effective the tip steering really was! I did feel a hesitation so I started snapping my hips a bit during weight shift. It made a big difference!

Oh, so you've flow it. Fantastic. Yes, weight shift helps. I've noticed that too.

Yep! I'm a little behind in my editing. This was taken on the 3rd. My first flight was on the 4th.

SireDean I purchased before I got there, but you can train on his gear. He charges an extra $500 for the training, but will refund that if you buy equipment from him.
