CRASH caused by reclined paramotor! Paramotor geometry part 18

[@evanwindom3265]

I've watched the whole series up to this point, and it just dawned on me how much is missing from these videos. - No one is bashing another person's product. - No one is calling anyone else an evil murderous liar. - No one is bragging that they are the world's best pilot or the "top US instructor". - No one is swearing. - No one is telling me that their way is the ONLY way and calling me stupid if I don't agree with them. What an incredibly refreshing, instructional, and thoroughly enjoyable series!

fuck now someone is swearing

[@PJ_PARA]

It's just not super enough is it? No ham fisted (see what I did there) predictions of Tucker Gott's impending doom, no owls being kicked. No flat tops, fresh breeze or risky savouries. Just scientific correctness. Yawn 😂

there is 1 more thing to remind - hang test to be done with full tank I have witnessed crash, where hag test was done in autumn. During winter pilot lost 5kg did hang test and went flying with only 2l in tank in the spring - all good Then fueled up full 18l for xc and the problems started was reclined too much and well. same as in videos happened

[@mikebrady2073]

Miro: You are absolutely correct. I humbly thank you for explaining it so simply. Precession is only a small factor.

[@benjaminz8977]

great building blocks, every chapter is amazing help, thanks!

[@pugslyxr3i]

I have seen the crash on the beach into the cars online before and wondered what the reason was. As a very interested future paramotor pilot £££££ 🤑 I have checked out as many of the physics and theories about the sport which I have to say is few and far between that is until scout comes along and answers all my questions thanks Miroslav keep them coming

[@SCOUTaviation]

thank you. These were very unecessary mistakes. How to avoid: do your hang test and have your paramotor upright or at least close to it. How to save the situation once it happened: get off the throttle gently and prepare for fast landing. Getting off the throttle too fast would cause a big overshoot of the glider and the glider will point straight into the ground = and that's where it would continue to fly...:-(

[@paramotorhead]

Great, I'm doing my ground handling at the moment, but it won't be too long until I start motor training. Having already seen the videos shown, it was great to get a breakdown as to why they happened. I'm certainly hang testing before I attempt flight. Cheers!

[@wddest]

put a ful tnak in before hang test ;) u'd be suprised what the extra 10-12kg of fuel makes ;)

[@Mazby2]

what ever you write or say... you are a very nice person!!!

[@benjaminz8977]

amazing help, thanks!

[@bulentakyildiz5439]

!!! Awesome videos.!!! thank you very much.

[@cesarmiranda4820]

Gracias desde mexico

[@jakemikec6939]

What if you are a light weight person? 130-140lbs my old gooseneck was a bar and the new gooseneck is machined cut. On the last setting I'm still leaning back more than I want. It's a kangook frame and the vittorazi 185

[@rogeriopinhal2201]

hello , very nice video, I have a few questions though. 1-the scout dynamic torque compensation would help in these situations? 2-the 10 degrees angle is between the trust line and an horizontal line or the prop to a vertical line? 3-if you do a hang test it has to be with the motor on, or you can do it with the motor off? 4-the glider size or speed would influence on the twist? Thanks! Roger

[@heisapilot]

third like... ;-) Great info Miroslav.. Cheers!

[@ahmaddarwish1175]

Thank you so much again.... i want to ask you a question Is there a mobile app you recommend to measure the reclining angle?

[@SCOUTaviation]

I use Clinometer on iPhone

[@Vberegovoy]

On 0:56, is this guy fall because of reclined paramotor? Looks like his harness was not seal to frame tight enough, so when he apply full throttle, frame rotate to right on his back, and all thrust pushed him to exactly right shoulder. Which is obviously twisted him

[@SydParamotor]

Good morning! Don't you think in all those videos twist starts with the gyroscopic effect and gain force by a sum of others factors? I really believe they start when a force is applied, when the pilot is hanged and he has a bad anchorage, forcing the propeller's (and other engine's rotating parts) angle of rotation to change causing the assembly to turn 90 degrees in advance to the opposite direction of the propeller's rotation.

[@arnaudmerat4638]

I agrees with syd, seems to be more a gyroscopic effect than a torque effect. Am i wrong ?

[@SCOUTaviation]

Sure, gyroscopic precession is present and adds its share to the problem. But far from being the main cause. If you have your paramotor upright, you have zero horizontal component of torque and gyroscopic precession is far from being strong enough to cause 90 degree yaw rotation. In this case, it was mainly torque due to to being reclined too much.

[@Reidkelly]

These are fantastic uploads. Quick OCD correction: being. Not "beeing"...

[@SCOUTaviation]

+Reid Kelly sh*t happens :-)

[@AshleyHall]

Great tips and video but please mute the music once the video starts in future videos, its distracting when trying to focus on the technical explanations.

[@evanwindom3265]

All of the crashes had more than one thing in common. Two of them were launching in really stupid places. Why would you ever launch in a crowded park full of people?

[@arnaudmerat4638]

I agrees with syd, these crash vidéos seems to be mostly a consequence of gyroscopic effect than torque effect. Am i wrong ? Thanks for your Work on this serie of exiting vidéos.

[@SCOUTaviation]

+Arnaud merat gyroscopic effect is present even if your prop is perfectly vertical and yet it is not enough to twist the pilot and paramotor by 90 degrees. While gyroscopic effect adds to it, the primary source of twist was the horizontal part of torque due to reclined paramotor.

[@Mazby2]

what is the best param 4 U?? ...on a Scout viid????

[@SCOUTaviation]

For me personally, the best paramotor is the SCOUT for sure. But for my wife it would be the Miniplane: - she does need lot of power - with little power and easy XC flying style the torque is not a big issue - while the SCOUT dynamic torque compensation would be beneficial but not crucial = it might be a smart decision to save money and buy a cheaper paramotor. ... Well, for my wife it would be politically incorrect to fly a different brand:-) Fly safe Miroslav

[@Mazby2]

there is a polish saying...can hear the bells,but dont know where is the church...you are close but still far. i sugest to visit my vid on prop torque where the subject is told...and what to do in the case,what U did not mention. great vids...nice views...thats all!

[@brady7991]

This is a great series. Nice job. One point that is not discussed here is "p-factor" when the prop is tipped back as in the videos the p-factor is a major contributor to the twisting moment.

[@eudessilva6906]

Uai qualé Axíl rose agora rsrsrs.

[@shamancredible8632]

You can prevent those accidents by flying a real plane.
