Aviator PPG - CONCLUSION! +GoPro Footage :)

[@baxrok2.]

Congratulations Ivan. The inflight footage was a real pleasure to watch. Thanks for taking us along!

[@jakesnake_27]

So cool Ivan, I've loved following along with this little series!

[@SouthMainAuto]

Congrats Ivan! Your nuts in my opinion lol

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Eric! Now it's your turn man ;)

[@Chris-Fennimore]

Come on, Eric, it is fun! Just think of the possibilities during hunting season, you'll be cruising around at tree-top level, spotting your quarry. LOL You can join me in early 2021, I'll be taking the same class as Ivan did. Stop off in N.C. and we can car pool the rest of the way. I am trying to get Smitty to join me too. He already bought his butt-fan and wing.

[@johnaclark1]

Ivan, I have over 11,000 hours flying everything from small single engine fixed wing to flying a Gulfstream G280 bizjet today. Aviation still humbles me on a regular basis. Learn from the humbling experiences. Once you think you're good is when you need to step back and be humble. if you don't, you'll be humbled. Congrats on the success!

[@trezsr]

Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure. It was awesome!

[@daveogarf]

большое Вам пасибо Ivan. Thank you very much - had an excellent time.

[@sergesimonov1767]

Молодец Иван, достиг своей мечты! С удовольствием, будем смотреть видео с высоты птичьего полёта!

[@macdaddyns]

That last landing was awesome you looked like a pro, thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@metoon3092]

What an AWESOME experience for you! 2 Weeks with others, nerves,weather and up in the sky where most all of us will never experience, Thank You for sharing!

[@robertshatto2995]

Looks like you had a wonderful time,thank you for sharing.

[@rickharper1497]

Thanks Ivan for taking us along

[@jelothere11]

Now you are a "fledgling". Congratulation sir. Thank you for taking us along.

[@chadhelmer3835]

Congrats Ivan. What an awesome experience. You rocked it! Thanks so much fo sharing

[@tomsmith29]

what a great experience Ivan ! thanks for taking us along for the ride .

[@patriel1]

Wow, that looked like a lot of fun if a bit unnerving, lol You guys did well, thanks for taking us into the skies with you! Keep flying, IVAN THE MACHINE!🪂

[@josephdunton3651]

Ivan, congrats! I really enjoyed this whole series! It was very fun to watch even though I don't have the desire to fly myself. I appreciate everything that goes into being able to fly like that, and all I can say is you guys have some serious brass !

[@NICKLEBACKish]

IVAN, your having a blast learning to fly and fixing cars and trucks.👍

[@davidd8435]

Congratulations Mr. Ivan once in a lifetime now you can add pilot to your resume.

[@dogsplantscarsneatstuff176]

Congratulations on those landings! You looked in charge at the first ot the video. You looked like you were really in charge of those last landings. i so appreciate how technique oriented this must be. Igor was such an inspiration. He would keep going no matter. I wish they would have named him the energiser Bunny because this guy would never give up. Thanks for the gopro film. The scenery is so pretty even in the dusk light. Interviewing all the attendees was a great touch.

[@tinkerwest]

Great to see you have a blast and thanks for bringing us along. 😎👍

[@aviator]

Brother, I loved this! SO thankful we got to share this journey with you. Cannot wait to come fly at Pine Hollow!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Hell yeah Eric! Pennsylvania is a beautiful state to visit :)

[@ohboy2118]

Nothing brings people together like a common cause / goal. Hopefully once we have Covid-19 undercrontrol people will realise that camaraderie is so important and take care of the people who struggled through isolation. I loved every minute of my glider training and nothing beats the feeling of being airborne and free. Well done Ivan and fellow pilots.

[@AP9311]

Wow, that is awesome video and footage from the go pro. Fantastic interview from instructors and students!! All the best video. You gained few friends and knowledge! Many many thumbs up, Ivan!!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

It was an amazing experience, Josh! Glad you enjoyed the vids :)

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

Congratulations ivan. That flying is some serious work.

[@engeneer_ru5827]

Получилась очень положительное видео. И я присоединяюсь ко многим, спасибо, что мы полетали вместе!

[@mark98070]

This entire series was very enjoyable. Looks like you mastered it! Go pro footage was great. Thank you for sharing this entire series. Sure glad Igor had a translator ;0

[@DaveSender66]

Well that was an awesome series Ivan! Congratulations I'm happy that you finished the course in one piece with no injuries. The GoPro footage for absolutely incredible thank you for sharing that. Good group of people a lot of fun. Lots of cool Adventures upcoming. A good pilot is always learning. I think you should at least take the Private Pilot written examination. So many new things to learn so many new experiences await you. Good luck and happy flying my friend! !!!!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Thank you for the motivation, Dave! It was an amazing experience to say the least. Didn't regret a second of it :)

[@Charles_Mulberry_7977]

Great reporting Ivan! Ivan is a MACHINE! A car fixing machine!

[@tomthumb1941]

CONGRATULATIONS!

[@jgeorges3061]

IVAN, Look like u had a good time thank you for sharing this as always you are AWESOME brotha.cheeeeeers

[@stealthg35infiniti94]

Good job! May you have many enjoyable hours of flight....

[@darrylmcleman6456]

Good stuff Ivan! You will have to talk to "Brian s Mobile 1" who is a KZbin mechanic who also flies one of those contraptions!!! Viewing in Canada!

[@Chris-Fennimore]

Great video series Ivan. Thanks for sharing. Over the past couple years, I have been contemplating switching over from HangGliding to PPG, and I want to train at Aviator too. I wish I had known you were going to Aviator, You could have picked me up in N.C. and we could have car-pooled. :) Let me know if you head down there again. Very Cool 👍😁👍

[@mikechiodetti4482]

FANTASTIC ! ! Simply FANTASTIC! ! So now do you buy your own equipment and go flying when ever you want to? It's probably going to seem like you wish you could stay longer and get more flight time in, but it's time to head home. Hopefully no stops along the way. What memories you have now!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Actually many stops along the way... we got some cars to diagnose ;)

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Well done Ivan, you shot the pony and rode the horse!

[@steveodonald1979]

That whole series was excellent. Well done Ivan, looks like you had great fun... All good things must come to an end, time to go back into the field (although you couldn't even leave the tech' work while you were away!) Hope you get your own gear some day and throw us some videos of "The Machine" flying about like a free bird :)

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Will do Steve! Lots of cool diags coming up on the trip back up to PA :)

[@THEDRAGONBOOSTER8]

Amazing .Well done, thanks for sharing.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Nice working vacation safe travels on the homeward bound.

[@lvsqcsl]

I've learned some things about you, Ivan. I didn't know you could speak fluent Russian. Many times when people speak a Foreign Language their accent is quite thick. Now, I can't attest to your Russian, but your English is through the roof! (Slight New England accent; other than that you really don't have an accent with your English.) Great video!

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

[@greg778123]

I’ve been watching Tucker Gott’s channel for a few years want to get into it one day

[@wyattoneable]

Well done Ivan.

[@Grt234]

Well done..👍👍

[@bluejayoutpost9170]

HI Ivan flew in many single and mulii-engine aircraft.My dad was a pilot..👉👍👈 have fun an..be safe out there

[@alangaudry724]

Congratulations to earning your wings

[@n3roc]

Congratulations Ivan! Are you planning any paramotor cross-country?

[@michaellindon5688]

Great stuff!!!!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Glad you enjoyed it Michael!

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

You forgot to yell "WOOHOOOO SWEEEEET!" when you took off like Tucker does.

[@uforestblimp]

enjoying life on a tiny marble

[@jd-kv9in]

Congrats on finishing flight school, looked like it was a great time! The pilot POV was great, really enjoyed it and looking forward to the future ones in PA.😉 I'm curious, how much force is on those grips when pulled?

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Force is a couple pounds...

[@scuba422123]

awesome!! well done ivan!! tucker gott aint got nothing on you!! now talk eric o into this

[@ammarmajeed8699]

Hi ,, I have jeeb cherokee 2018 the windshield wipers Front and back turn on all time ،، how i fix it. Can you help me .. how i can Communicate with you

[@lo0ops]

You're always wearing shorts isn't it cold up there in the early morning?

[@thomascoscetta6452]

I would like to know what the cost was for training and your equipment. Also is the course 14 days or can it be less than 14 days. Great series of videos.

[@Mr2004MCSS]

I loved this series even though I would never do that. I hate heights and just watching the footage of the go pro gave me the chills. How high are you allowed to go?

[@TenMillionYearProgram42]

18000 feet legally, but no one does it (or very few for KZbin views). Most pilots are afraid of heights, actually. I forget the actual figure but it's close to 90%. It's a strange thing, because the height doesn't bother me in my paramotor but a tall roller coaster or even being in a tall building will give me vertigo. Flying? Not at all. Maybe its the being in control and being so connected with the wing and the motor. It feels totally secure under the wing.

[@billziegmond4943]

Nice going congrats on "machine"

[@ryguy57106]

Ivan , are you going to buy one any fly around at home?

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

At some point for sure! I kind of miss being up in the sky already...it's addicting!

[@danman9017]

congrat well done

[@fieldsofomagh]

No recruits for usaf from this motley crew but improvement expected.

[@R.E.HILL_]

So you're now certified, or do you need more hours?

[@dennisbailey4296]

So you didn't have to buy the units that you are using? You just rented the equipment? All the best from Canada

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

They have student units, that you can buy after the class is over at a discounted price :)

[@kkovler1]

almost $4000 for training, that's a lot, hope you able to continue with your flying when you get back home.?

[@RobCarstuff9112]

Not too bad for the price. I just can't take that many days off.

[@utuber2940]

Wait a minute this wasn't grandpa's kitchen!!

[@govhickenlooper]

With all that money spent, think of how many parts you could have bought from us.

[@joshg1244]

But how many warranty claims?

[@billrimmer5596]

Dorman Products U guys have a sense of humor I c

[@billrimmer5596]

Dorman Products Who is Dorman Products? Do u work for them? R u Mr Dorman? Did u machine all the lug nuts that used to b the main business of Dorman products before u started reboxing all the Chinese stuff. I installed one of your window regulators in a Honda the other day. Shock, the window goes up and down nicely. Not everything is total crap. I purchased one of your Toyota charcoal canisters for a 99 Camry. Lasted 2 months. Then the check engine light went on. Two years later, I bought an oe from Amazon. Almost 300 wasted on your crap. Do u guys just laugh at all of us idiots that waste thousands on your attempt to make complicated parts? U should only rebox simple stuff. U obviously have no conscience. And whoever u r, how chicken of u hiding behind the name Dorman. The laugh is on me.

[@danman9017]

this guy is funy lol

[@rahrah8076]

you know how many dorman parts I’ve seen fail or installed then failed..or have to modify to fit to work properly then fail again..I could start my own recycling company with just dorman parts 😂

[@throttlebottle5906]

to bed after 1AM and up at 5AM, sounds about like high school/college, younger party/work years, leave at 5am sharp to beat the traffic, work 14 to 17 hours like a loon(uncle sam took it all in taxes) scrub hind quarters around 9pm go party until after 2am, rinse and repeat. seems fun while doing it, then you realize you'll fall over dead before age 40 ;)

[@opl500]

Huh, there are no crosswind landings with these things. Always have to land into the wind.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Actually there are different strategies. You can approach in a crosswind and then pivot right before touchdown :)

[@200932me]

How much weight can one of these rigs carry.

[@TenMillionYearProgram42]

That wing could lift a Miata. Legally we can't be more than 254 lbs not including safety equipment and pilot, but not sure what the weight limit is on the harness and frame. More than any human that would be able to get off the ground.

[@aleskyfinis1025]

Yeah buddy

[@staind288]

Why do they always fly when it's dark?

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Early morning and sunset were the only calm times of day :)

[@ggstephens50]

Hey Ivan what’s the plan now after getting back? I got it ....you get the lawnmower and the sheets off the bed..... “no parts required “ ha nice job all kidding aside.

[@kerryb2689]

What happens when you have been up for 10 minutes and suddenly you realize you only had 9:59 minutes of gas?

[@kerryb2689]

i just saw the other video of how to deploy the reserve chute.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Your motor stalls and you gently glide to a safe landing. Reserve chute is only if your wing collapses 🙂

[@throttlebottle5906]

quickly find the field wind sock for wind direction, or trees whatnot blowing, watch wing to keep proper.

[@TenMillionYearProgram42]

The motor just gives us thrust to maintain forward velocity in the air to keep the wing from just being a paraglider. Motor dies, congratulations you're landing a paraglider. As long as you have an LZ (which is what we're trained to do) you just glide in and land. Hopefully not in a swamp. But motor outs are usually a non-event.

[@aleskyfinis1025]

I am in would you go again

[@hikerJohn]

The only drawback is the noise. I sold my power boat for a sailboat because I hated the noise.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Yes I love sailing too because you can harness the silent power of nature 🙂

[@throttlebottle5906]

old age..... loud toys, radios and exhausts lose the thrill in time.

[@reecenewton3097]

Noise canceling headphones help a lot.

[@RobCarstuff9112]

Not too bad for the price. I just can't take that many days off.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

You can just work while you fly haha

[@aviator]

Come for 8 days at least!

[@throttlebottle5906]

poor Igor, looks way too light, he needs extra BBQ servings. lol start feeding him American style BBQ foods and he'll fatten right up :))

[@mikeoneill7360]

Damn Daredevil.....

[@piperjohn_3]

Impressive. You just need to be real careful until all your takeoff and landing routines are automatic.

[@throttlebottle5906]

wait, if they all have Dodge Ram Promaster vans, I suggets move to FLorida, because you'll make millions repairing them sooner than later LOOL

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Actually the ProMasters are quite reliable; can easily top 300k miles with basic maintenance :)

[@rafflesnh]

Uh oh! A 'sleep deprived' pilot! :-/

[@davide.s.9880]

The only way I would do this is if it was to save my life.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Well if you learn ahead of time, then you'll be ready in an emergency ;)

[@drewbush6535]

No thanks..nice landing though
