0-10000 feet flight in a Paramotor, then Engine Dies !!

[@Dreaklock]

I'm pretty sure this was the very first paramotor video I ever saw. It's cool to come back and check it out again.

[@MrLeviathoth]

Paramotoring is on my Bucket List for this life. Let's hope. Great video.

[@bornuponawave]

MrLeviathoth Do It!!!!!!! You’ll be glad you did!!! You just gotta do it!

[@Logan-tk6eh]

Have you taken a class yet?

[@markmaloney5566]

That was brilliant, very brave. Well done!

[@randybeard6040]

Great video, very beautiful above the clouds with the sunshine glow across the horizon...

[@techsynch8187]

You went 10000 feet high landed back right in front of your camp van. That's truly badass xD!!!!

[@yeogav]

Enjoyed that. Awesome

[@larrykorell750]

watching you spin around with the engine off and the camera facing you made me think of 2001 a space odyssey...just floating in space...great video!!

[@sillykanji]

Thank you for the video! Great experience!

[@David65702]

Man talk about spot landing that was the bomb! Great job.

[@maximlg253]

I did 10000 feet on my paramotor in almost same place, Cape Charles. It was freaking cold even in summer. There is no 10000' legal limit. For all ultralights in US, legal limit is 18000' (class A airspace).

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

Max Lichko this is in the UK.

[@maximlg253]

Oh I see, got confused

[@libya00218]

The real danger of going above 10000 ft is the Hypoxia (lack of oxygen) it's a dangerous silent killer. At the begining you want feel it as it is silent & you will start making strange decision, then you go in comma resulting of certain death as no oxygen to the human body. the more you go higher the risk is more, & you will have only 15 seconds if you are awake to save your life. Legally you are not allowed to fly over 10000 ft without oxygen for long time, you have only 30 minutes between 10000 & 13000 ft , over 13000 ft you must have the oxygen tanks, this is why in the planes they compress the air in the cabinet as they go over 30000 ft At your risk (To train your lungs to deal with high altitude less then 10000 ft, you should spend some days in the mountains (but still the Hypoxia is waiting for you with a grave risk) Again, it is at your risk). Also, be careful , NEVER DIVE & FLY IN THE SAME DAY, give at least 24 hours for your body to adjust it self. it is very serious risk, because the Nitrogen bubbles will form in your blood stream & that's enough to kill.

[@jaroslavpirkl]

finally after a while found where the pilot was landing... it was at Northrepps Aerodrome if anybody interested...

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

u could have just asked? yup - took off from there too. Great airfield - paramotor friendly. Well worth a visit.

[@jaroslavpirkl]

powerlord69 I just got list airfields at Norfolk from Google search and then compared shapes of airfields to one on your video (while you were landing)....found it on 3rd attempt

[@JoaoMiguel-lc1qe]

You can see the earth curve in that altitude?

[@SunShine-yd5xu]

Amazing. You’re a champion. A man with tons of courage. The bag in front of you ( on your belly ) was an oxygen reservoir ?

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

No. Bag for a camera. You don't need supplementary oxgen for 10k.

Who needs an engine. Honestly

[@kwiksher]

I was wondering if you can share how your Recon Jet app development have progressed. Cheers, Alex

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

It was the mod live. But should work on jet too. I think it is as it was in the relevant video. I fly with it every flight and my software does everything I need of it. But there was very little interest in it from anyone else, even on the Recon forums. If you want a copy of the code, pm me.

[@kwiksher]

powerlord69 I am sending you a pm right now.

[@kwiksher]

powerlord69 Did you get my pm?? I have finished the interface mockup and all I need now is to start to add code to that.

[@warsameadam5572]

Amazing, thanks for sharing. Have you tried doing cross country? Whats the farthest distance travelled in a single fuel tank?

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

Warsame Adam most of my flight are cross country. Though I tend to fly a loop so I can land where I took off. At 25mph, a 2 hour flight can be 50 miles or so. My current paramotor will do around 2 1/2 hours on a tank, but most of my flights are around an hour or so. Have a look at other videos and you'll see cross country flights to Ben Nevis (highest mountain in Britain) for example.

[@hommieglarson8641]

how long did it take you to reach 10,000ft? and how long was the ride from start to finish?

[@FentonWorksDE]

10000ft on a lawnmower... not bad XD

[@CFP246]

5 years ago. Do you still fly!?????

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

Sure. Your just looking at 5 year old videos. 😁

[@neobes]

What was the air temperature at 10000 feet? Very nice job!

[@mccc4559]

Sir, thank you so much for sharing your incredible experience. I have a question and hope you will reply. I am wondering if you might consider taking a quadcopter up with you that high and giving it a whirl or even better launch from up high with coordinates programmed to land before you....then capturing your landing. It doesn't have to be exactly that way or course. This would be a first I believe. I am your new sub and fan. Wishing you all the best.

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

sorry, no that would be illegal in the UK, and also highly dangerous if it went through the lines

[@gregh1853]

Made me nervous and im in bed.....on top of cold.....so much can go wrong and at 10k ft you have lots of time to think on the way down....

[@RoseangleWarrior]

You need to put the captions up for MUCH longer for dyslectic people please.

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

sorry. but you can just pause ?

[@Nicholastriase]

OMG!! This looks like crazy fun and looks like id give you a huge adrenaline rush! How do you even get into this sport? Is it expensive? How much would one of those setups cost? what type of licence also do you even need??

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

new, about 8K. secondhand about 2 or 3K. 2 weeks of training if the weather's good and you can be in the air. no licence required in UK (though I would suggest training through the BHPA leading to their professional qualification)

[@jps13party]

specs of your setup? your weight? glider size?

[@JakeBullit123]

Well done.Big kahunas. Whats that on your feet?

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

Boots? Or do you mean the strap when I'm on speedbar?

[@JakeBullit123]

Ah,must be the speed bar.

[@axgtsimi]

that looks good fun. whats the law regarding using one in the uk, id like to have a go at this. do you have to have a licence ect

[@PaulPaid]

+simi Yes you need a license. There are a few schools for this in the uk.

[@axgtsimi]

yes i have since looked into it. can you do like a teaser lesson ? im not sure weather its something i could get on with. heights dont bother me much but its easy said than done lol.

[@PaulPaid]

simi Most schools offer demo flights where you go up with an instructor.

[@rogerblackwood8815]

What licence and who issues it? There are no licence or specific training requirements, you don't need insurance either. But you would be crazy to have a go without training of some sort!

[@Champ7ACMan]

Congrats on the successful attempt! How often do you fly your para-glider? Is it a pretty regular thing or do you have to have conditions just right?

[@onamvannu]

Is there a 10,000 feet legal limit? I know there is 18,000 legal limit. Please clarify. Good video, cheers

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

+Xavi the UK law is that you need a transponder above 10K. plus supplemental oxygen. So without prior agreement with the CAA, that is the limit without these items. Obviously that assumes you are still in in class G.

[@LeChatQuiVole]

What was your camera please ? I like it ! :D

[@Dreaklock]

It's funny because you wouldn't think 10000 feet was that high, but once you're up there, my God, it looks like 30000. lol Is the FAA gonna catch you (or an ultralight trike) if you attempt to go to 10560 feet to make it an even 2 miles? Or is that a reasonable height you can get to without getting busted?

Awesome flight! I've recently purchased a brand new paramotoring, wing, etc... and will be training in a couple of weeks. I have a co-worker that is a licensed private pilot and he tells me I can't fly in any restricted airspace near any airports, etc... I'm a tugboat captain in NYC and I was hoping to fly over the city and up the Hudson River. I lived in Norfolk, VA. for 10 years and I know there are numerous military bases there like Norfolk Airport , NAS Norfolk, NAS Oceana, Langley AFB, etc... Are PPG's exempt and allowed???

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

BrassRainbow556 I don't know what your USA FAA laws are, but I imagine they are similar to the uk in that we are subject to he same laws of the air as any other aircraft. And since we have no transponders or radio we are usually excluded from flying in restricted airspace. I would be very surprised if ppg flight was allowed in nyc. And flying in military airspace is never a good idea.
