Paramotor Flight up to 18,000 FT!!!

[@danielroush8190]

You got some killer shots of my wing on that flight. We had perfect conditions

[@anthonyparsells]

Great video! Would have loved seeing in 16:9 ratio

[@TokyoNightGirlLofi]

Nice👍💚💚💚💚

[@rule1dontgosplat]

That’s awesome! I love higher altitude flights.

[@gaetanproductions]

Nice flight. No gloves at 18 00ft ??? What about your engine and issues with the carburetor ?

[@DesertMountainAdventures]

It did pretty good i definitely lost power as I got higher though

[@SharkyintheSky]

Wow, that's high. Good going. How many minutes did it take to get that high? How much fuel was used?

[@DesertMountainAdventures]

From 10K to the top roughly about 20 + minutes then I quickly decended back down below 10k, the whole flight I burned every drop of 8 liters on Moster 185 Dual start spinning a 140 prop.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

you must have been cold!

[@rule1dontgosplat]

Seriously! I was going to 10K like two months ago and gave up at 8,000 because I was shivering.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

@rule1dontgosplat I went to 18k a couple hours ago 🥶

[@rule1dontgosplat]

@@MarkHuneycutt Haha nice! The winds are looking good for the morning. Hoping to make a 10,000 foot run. Well... 10,350 feet, so I can say I was 10000 feet above the ground. If I'm feeling it, I'll try for 12,850. I just want to cut the motor off at the top and glide.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

@rule1dontgosplat sounds fun! The 40 minute ride down from 18k was nice.

[@rule1dontgosplat]

@@MarkHuneycuttdo you do a bunch of wingovers and stuff to come down faster? Or do you just glide?

[@huffpappy]

Little Camas reservoir? Did you feel hypoxic? I once flew my hang glider to that altitude without oxygen in Arizona, and definitely felt it. Nice flight!

[@DesertMountainAdventures]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! I did not have supplemental oxygen, I kept checking myself and made sure not to stay up above 10k for more than 30 minutes, but hindsight I would have some sort of oxygen supply to supplement to be on the safe side, my hands did get pretty darn cold though!

[@mohaneverett6036]

No gloves at 18k? Jeez 🥶

[@DesertMountainAdventures]

Yeah I wish I did lol it got cold!

[@AlexLinebrink]

Wow - awesome. You didn't bring any oxygen??!!

[@DesertMountainAdventures]

Thank you. No, I didn't have portable oxygen, but definitely would recommend for anyone that flies over 10k to have some sort of emergency oxygen bottle even though they say you can be above 10k for up to 30 minutes without it , it's obviously the smartest choice because Hypoxia can set in, everyone's bodies react slightly different to altitude.
