I've Created A Monster!!! - My New Paramotor...

[@TuckerGott]

This new setup RIPS!!! I cannot wait to get it in the air and put some time on it. Stay tuned as that will probably be the next video. In addition to test flying the motor, what questions would you guys want to see answered in that video?

[@nategoodwin3329]

Powerloop?? 🤔

[@ImBradfordM]

When will people wake up to this plandemic? I wanna get over there and learn to fly. Stuck in Prison Australia.

[@visaraloshi3362]

YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A VIDEO I LOVE THE VIDS

[@RoadTo2046]

Tucker: Pops bubble wrap in New Jersey "neighbors probably think they hear gunshots" Me: lives in Missouri and can just go shooting in my front yard and shoot binary explosives... lol

[@michaeljo6976]

That's rad man! Looks great!

[@WoodysGamertag]

Just a note on the shoulder mounted reserve connection. Another bonus is that when you come down you're no longer in the seat that's built when the carabiners are pulled. Instead, you're out of the seat and ready to PLF.

[@mmcowan]

Tell us how you know. ;-)

[@Richplaceholder]

You mean ready for the best splits you've ever done

[@jobflobad0by0b]

Should you repack a brand new reserve?

[@jobflobad0by0b]

Do do you need to qualified person to do it because I'm not sure if I know how to do it myself...?

[@mitchwinters864]

I’d be curious how many people (outside airborne) who know how to PLF... Heck, most cant do a proper PLF with 800ft AGL of preparation.... Its a pretty motor though!

[@ChristopherKleman]

Good point on the reserve bridal - I just purchased my first paramotor (2nd hand) and the reserve was routed behind the swing arm. The last thing I want to do after thoroughly crapping my pants in the air is have the land on my side coming down! Thanks for pointing that out - I didn't even think about it until you mentioned it.

[@FrayAdjacentTX]

Another reason for lefthand throttle (with a righthand torque engine) is that on launch if you need a hand to adjust your seat, you can use your right hand and keep your left hand on the left brake should you need to counter torque. ;)

[@petemac7969]

During the hang test, Big Bertha rolled backwards and I was waiting for the bike to take a tumble! Great job with this. Can't wait to see it fly!

[@JudsonGraham]

I wish parajet sent me the entire warehouse of swag

[@mikeplays2920]

Thank you so much Tucker for what you do for this community everyone I talk to say they got into the sport from you keep up the good work. Tucker is the only One to interact with his community thank you for the ❤️

[@TuckerGott]

Thanks man! That's what it's all about. 😁

[@johnnukecop]

I have to thank you for the great videos and the tremendous inspiration they represent!! I’m 64 so I wonder if my knees are to new roles as landing gear. I keep thinking that a FAR 103-compliant trike will be my path forward. I admire the work of your editing and the joy of your flying!!

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

I do like how Parajet’s harness integrates a side mount reserve neatly. I moved my reserve from front to side expecting it to be temporary for a competition last year but it’s quite nice having it out of the way. The only thing I miss is having the Velcro patch to stick a phone to. Nice build 👍

[@ronkendall2930]

Before installing the plastic ring around the gage lay it out in the sun to soften it & make it more pliable. Also works great when mounting tires.

[@kurtcraig3421]

that was a great insight into the parajet reserve shoot. cant wait to see this thing climb out.

[@Robbo1966]

Doing that winter thing and checking out some old YT video's, this is a great video Tucker, cheers and take care

[@mattcero1]

Consider checking the carburetor for gunk prior to running it. I had a snowmobile end up running very lean and burning a hole in a piston as a result of gunk getting into the engine during non wintertime storage. The jet was partially clogged and I was simply broken down on the trail in the U.Peee. Having this happen in the sky wouldn't be so good.

[@Emily_M81]

regarding the throttle thing, it might help people to think of it like this. Most people are right handed, and yet, right-handed string musicians fret/finger with their left hand. So to me it seems completely normal to use the throttle with the left hand (as a right-handed person). I guess just a real world example of why it's not so unintuitive. And holy crap it pushed the trike back lol. Amazing.

[@bikinglikebecker]

Got to rig up a CVT Clutch on the motor.. like on a snowmobile.. might be able to increase speed by another 20mph... throw on a turbo or small supercharger & adding a short light adjustable carbon wing under the seat will also add some lift... & extra speed...

[@waggythegeek2030]

Yoooo, I have been WAITING for content like this!! The mechanic side of paramotoring seems super interesting, you should do more videos about pre-flight, post-flight, and engine care! Maybe something to serve as a basic introduction to motor maintenance?

[@jcast25]

This!!!

[@kevincanfly]

Yay! What do ya know?... Tucker gets more free Sh!t... stoked for you, and also not jelly at all...

[@chrissmall6119]

I'm so glad someone else said it so I wouldn't have to. lmao

[@ckearnes]

I love all this content and appreciate your knowledge! I am new to this and really want to get in to flying! Your channel is a great wealth of knowledge!

[@sgtcompton8838]

From the beginning you always find ways to push me to spend mass amounts of money! I appreciate everything you do for the community, I would love to link up when I get up in the air after some training from the best 👌

[@jaylayton28]

You need to do more of these builds if possible. I know it’s expensive but awesome too see you don’t have to settle for factory.

[@projectdad6561]

It’s awesome to hear the power band kick in! That is gonna be sick

[@NoneYaBidness762]

The A&P in me wants those engine mount bolts safety wired.

[@pizzamandellaxx6979]

Yesterday, I had my first duo paramotorflight. Wauw, I like it a lot. Thanks to you Tucker Gott for showing the world all about paramotors, I can't wait to start my training.

[@flyingmollywhop4228]

I wish I could. Maybe one day I will afford it. Unfortunately I'm on disability so I don't know if I will ever be able to.

[@pizzamandellaxx6979]

@@flyingmollywhop4228 Well, on a trike, I think there could be possibilities for shure! The price indeed isn't the cheapest, I've been working hard in between schooldays for over a year now, and maybe in a couple months, I will be able to afford some second hand gear or new gear.

[@pizzamandellaxx6979]

@@flyingmollywhop4228 I wish you the best. It's absolutely stunning

[@MADDOG100ful]

As in electrical tape, also buy quality zip ties there is the generic / cheap ones that come apart in uv sunlight exposure very quickly. :)

[@stenny1970]

Tucker Gott - You ever get a chance fly up around east coast of Maine and around Niagra Falls. Beautiful country up that way... Just found your channel tonight. Good stuff! Watched only a few videos so far.

[@mwethereld]

I have a new rig being pieced up now, Sky 150 motor, Parajet Maverick frame retracta trike with larger air fill tires, triple blade E-Prop,,, thing has loads of power! will be a fun trike

[@williamdew]

Always a joy to see you do what you do best :D What maneuver has been the most difficult for you to learn?

[@bbrinck093]

Hey man, I was wondering if you could do a video on explaining the different parts on a paramotor and in general how they work. Just started with paramotoring and I am completely new to engines and don't know much about the different parts and how the circuit works. Would also be interesting to know what maintenance you need to do on a regular basis :-) Greetings from Luxembourg :-)

[@ezl8002]

I can't wait to see how this thing flies and I think you should write a beginner's bible to paramotoring, Do's and Don'ts! You are instilling a wealth of information to newcomers to the hobby! Thanks Tucker for this video!

[@mtkoslowski]

Important safety tip: get a *”D”* license parachute rigger to pack your reserve and have it regularly re-packed by same.

[@DAS-Videos]

For electrical tape and sandpaper it is best to get 3M brand. I once made the huge mistake of getting Harbor Freight sand paper.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Looks great!

[@Infino985]

One day I will also buy a paramotor, thank you for sharing Tucker..god bless u

[@survivalishardstaystorng]

when it comes to having your throttle in your non-dominant hand it really won't matter if use both your hands I use both my hands I'm right-handed for writing and for throwing overhand but if we're just about anything else I can use my left hand just as good as my right in fact I use my left more than my right when I drive I also use my left the hold my cell phone more than I use my right I believe

[@danrabenhorst2387]

Peronally, I would put some shielding between the exhaust and the plastic gas tank 3"? away. A loose bolt or two and you catch fire at altitude.

[@odem2002]

Wow acceleration was very quick and crisp. I thought it was funny doing the hang test I seen your trike getting blown backwards lol.

[@seeratlasdtyria4584]

Gotta Love your Car collection! From that, Parajet's big time support, and the size and nature of your equipment garage/hanger, I guess we can assume that 1. you're either independently wealthy, and/or 2. that your youtube channel is paying off like a big dog. Either way, you look to be having TOO MUCH FUN!!!...Now all you need is one of those inexpensive but hella fun little ultralight amphibious planes that you can open the canopy and fish out of :) imho probably the most fun you can have in the air, outside of a privat jet with a full bedroom in it ;) (Yes lots of em exist!).

[@domg7359]

Man when you started swinging on the hang lines under power I thought you were going to go right back into that motorcycle behind you! Stay safe.

[@mr.c1989]

14:27 and on...you are outside and yet your microphone sounded like you were inside a room with sound proofing walls. Amazing equipment, could you please walk us through exactly what setup you used at 14:27 and any user settings in the equipment? What mic was that? Thanks.

[@thomasmalamas752]

Fly that beast as soon as possible. Greetings from Greece

[@Pain1969KILLer]

I am so excited to fly one of these. I'm currently too heavy to feel comfortable flying one, but I'm working out and eating right now, and hopefully, in the next year I'll be in the air!

[@johnnukecop]

Best wishes for great success. I’m 64 and have lost the weight but I wonder if my knees are to new roles as landing gear. I keep thinking that a FAR 103-compliant trike will be my path forward. Keep the faith and you will end up in the air!

Liked for the bubble wrap popping!

[@jamesschaeffer1770]

Great video, Tucker. Fun project.

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

I like the underseat reserve option on that harness, its always there and leaves the pockets free.

[@TuckerGott]

I've tried the under seat on my Scout a few times but never really liked it. I like being able to stand straight up and I always felt like it was in the way. It was extremely beneficial for the Icarus race though as I didn't really have anywhere else to put it. 😂

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

@@TuckerGott I know what you mean but from my experience the Dudek Powerset comfort doesn't bind up. I found it a huge bonus on my UK Icarus X as it kept the pockets and from free for kits. The joy of paramotoring, we do what makes it comfortable for our flying style. I liked your comments on the reserve install. The amount of times I've seen them routed incorrectly scares me.

[@andypowell7844]

It was a simile (not a metaohor) you were searching for and I'd like to gift you this one. Packing your reserve shouldn't be 'like stuffing a chicken with a turkey'. 😉 Your videos rock dude, and you inspire me. My age and dodgy knees are against me but I still might still be capable....

[@supergokufan23498]

Hi Tucker! Great video, I will be getting a paramotor when I’m older so we can fly.

[@supergokufan23498]

And I would recommend myself to use some E props propellers

7:28 I'm kinda surprised that there was not the use of a torque wrench on the bolts.

You could probably hit up Fly Products to get a Rider frame without control arms, for the Cosmos. Mount it on the Cruiser.
