Man I am trying to get my knowledge and work on it during the winter and then get my first rig this spring from Ohio. Your video is so awesome and inspiring. I appreciate all the talking and knowledge of the air and see. Keep on keeping on. Thanks for sharing.

I dont know if its normal in the ppg community but landing to help another pilot take off? Gold star brother!

That was awesome brother. Great flying, great video edit. I really appreciate how both keep getting better by you.

[@minyardmatt]

Awesome video, finally I had time to watch it all! I’m really impressed to see you are fascinated with calling out the names of everything you see on the marsh, I do the same exact thing all the time! Such an adventure to fly above the terrain that most people never get to see!

[@kyleoglee]

You're really gonna like part 2!

[@THESkiViking]

Little Kyle'O duck face here → 4:28 At 7:20 you have to think you could use the paramotor like a snow-shoe to stay on top if you went down & is was soft.

[@csleclerc57]

This was a cool little piece of video Kyle. BEAUTUFUL day.

[@mikefogle5874]

Amazing dude! What a cool place.

[@paramotorhead]

Man, I’m envious of that weather, it’s blowing hard and everything’s sodden in the UK. Great video.

[@arie1293]

Cool LZ! The nose shade is agreeably goofy looking but a crusty burnt nose would be worse. Upwind sailing requires "tacking" which I guess looks a little switchbackish. Maybe that's what he was doing. Or just cruising the coastline back and forth.

[@SeeUsFly]

Nice, Kyle-O! Always fun watchin you fly.

[@lashley370z]

Another great Kyle O adventure. Thanks for the ride-along. 👍

It looked an amazing area to fly. That air looked so laminar, it must have been joyful to fly. I love flying my Hadron XX, but I think I need a smaller one. Looking forward to part 2.

You like junk hunting, aye? Well, you gotta come up to the coast of MA! There's nearly entire beaches made of trash, lol! Plenty inland to look at, too. The glowing stuff you want to stay away from, though, especially if you start feeling a little warm inside ... 🤣 Great vid, man! Sure wish I was down there - looks WARM! 👍🍻😎

[@flyguymcleod9648]

Looks like the same spot matt minyard flew in super high winds. Jmo. Peace!

Great video as always. Definitely a doo doo pool... next time just get low down wind of it.. That’s a sure tell!

Cool video with the cool kids. Thanks for sharing

[@JohnnyFaber]

I don't even think I dream of days as good as that looked. So awesome. How does the paramotor carry you and your giant brass balls? If you had to ditch in that marsh...that would be sooo gnarly.

[@TenorDad]

@12:15 "Doo doo pools!" LOL

[@chuckeelhart1746]

Sail boats going back and forth to catch the wind is called tacking.

[@PPGMurse]

The only, and exactly, way I would love to fly the beach. From the grass nearby. Don't care to put all that sand in/on my gear. Great video.

[@noyopacific]

Excellent video Kyle. I enjoy all the geography and background stories. I have heard that an Acadian is something that a Cajun can become an if they learn how to read, can anyone confirm that? ;-) BTW Kyle, I measured the distance on the map from Cypremont Point Park to the mouth of the Mississippi at Pilottown to be 160 miles.

[@taco-lover]

What happened at 23:50, was there a water crash landing accident!

[@kyleoglee]

Yep! Coming up in part 2.

[@vmlinuxz]

Wow you can launch from a state park? How cool is that.

[@kyleoglee]

Petit Jean state park in Arkansas has an airport inside of it! Mount Nebo and Mount Magazine also have freeflight launching available. State parks are cool places to fly!

[@shannonwhitaker9630]

Petit Jean has some awesome views, hiking trails, caves with Petrogylphs, big water fall, nice campground, pretty lake, car museum, AND an airport smack on top of the mountain.

[@lawrencebessette754]

Damn Kyle you guys had a great day the bad belt I don’t know about that lol You could have been lunch For things that call that marsh Land home good video

[@RockinRobbins13]

Ruh roh! Was that water coming out the spark plug hole in that last shot? SALT water? That would be my worst nightmare there. You have to get that motor running again QUICKLY, and spray the entire exterior with WD40 or similar water replacing stuff, preferably in a pump sprayer. Still, electrical components may be toast. I worked on outboard motors in salt water. Grew to hate the stuff. It's like boating in battery acid. Opened up more lower units with an air chisel than I care to think about. Here's a salute to the late, great Dirty Bird. I miss her.

[@kyleoglee]

Full story coming up in part 2!

[@ashleyevans9363]

Kyle you were flying over the marsh with a worn out belt and you knew it? SCARY!

[@kyleoglee]

We had preflight rescue plans in order should someone bailout. More of a minor hassle than a safety issue.

Checked it out, it was just a life jacket, damn!

[@markblankenship745]

Hey bub what are all of the perfect little circles? I mean I know they are plants but I wonder why they grew in a circle like that?

[@kyleoglee]

Not sure.

[@PPGExplorer]

Always a great adventure with you Kyle. Did you guys fly all day, mid day, or was this all late afternoon flying? Wondering if beach flying lets you fly more that inland....Thanks for sharing.

[@kyleoglee]

All day. I bet I did 25 flights that weekend.

[@firetruckchuck9131]

Those balls are probably crab trap markers that broke loose from the trap

[@synthsin75]

Question: Is it better to do kiting training on a smaller kiting wing or the wing you intend to fly with?

[@vmlinuxz]

Use your flying wing unless the gusts are too high. A small kiting wing is great for rowdy scenarios, but kiting your flying wing will let you experience the exact speed and way your wing will react in the air. It will create some wear on your wing, but at least when you are first learning it is VERY useful.

[@kyleoglee]

Smaller in wind until you have control, then switch to full size is the safest way to learn.

[@Macnas]

That looked like a great day.

Thanks Kyle.. earths flat confirmed from O'Glee

[@RockinRobbins13]

Kyle, how about a status report on the Zeno. You've had it awhile now. You were concerned about it maybe trying to kill you when you first bought it, but now you've had the chance to compare personal experience with the stories you depended on then. How has your experience with the Zeno changed your preconceptions? What highlights and gotchas can you tell about it? Exactly what does that beast do in turbulence and how have you controlled it? You still fly it, so it must be overwhelmingly good. Inquiring minds want to know! And I'm looking forward to finding out if that water coming out of the spark plug hole is salty!

[@kyleoglee]

Whew. There is a lot to be mentioned. I think a Kyle O Video is in order. Production will begin today!

[@2011mendo]

Not sure where I got this idea,,,, but,,, I THOUGHT IT WAS ILLEGAL TO FLY IN A STATE PARK!!! Am I missing something???

[@kyleoglee]

I guess it may depend upon the state, but Arkansas has two that have fly ins, and I know two in Louisiana that are friendly to it. But no, definitely not illegal.

[@thegardenfarmer]

So, question for you Kyle. I'm unsure about launch locations dealing with state parks specifically. Not public community parks. I know we, ppg pilots, can launch from public parks...but I have been wary and unsure about "state parks" labeled as such. I live in Ohio and we have a park system here called, the metro parks, and it's a state park. My confusion is with the whole national and state park thing. I know that community public parks we dont need to get permission to fly since its public and as long as the charts don't show any notams or any restrictions...and the surrounding community has no complains... we are totally in the right to be able to launch and land that zone. But what about state parks... I see you flying at a state park...and the labeling for, The Point, on the charts is pretty similar to the metro park labeling...doesnt show anything at all. I've always thought that I am totally able to launch and land from the local state park near me...I have just never pressed my luck since I wasnt sure. And far 103 is so vague...so that's not really to helpful lol, but then again in that vagueness might be where my answer is.

[@kyleoglee]

It's likely regulated "per park" can't speak for all of them, but I have flown at many in Arkansas Oklahoma and Louisiana

[@thegardenfarmer]

@@kyleoglee kinda what I figured. I'm going to just talk with the liaison for the park that deals with the free flight pilots at Edgewater, lake erie(edgewater is owned by the metro parks)...see what he says about the site I'm eyeballing. Thanks for the input Kyle, appreciate it
