Paramotor Full Stall

My instructor demonstrates a full stall on my new paramotor.

[@TBoNdBRFOX7]

I don`t get the dislikes... Great video... Thanks for sharing!

[@grahamwalkingshaw6344]

me neither just haters that the dude loves what he does and what he does is what they dream about wut a shame :( the guys got massive size cuhonas tbh never mind you could have clapsed it for longer any longer is leaving way to much to risk making the thing clap like that aint to bad at all and is good training tbh just incase the real thing does happen

[@MrBowser2012]

It's probably the ghouls out there that were expecting blood, guts, and broken bones. I also thought it was an interesting video.

[@MichaelReeser]

I think the dislikes are because people were expecting a wing collapse on accident not on purpose. It's the only thing I could think of anyway.

[@grahamwalkingshaw6344]

No need in any dislikes the guy has more balls than all the dislikers put together

[@timgepoint1000]

It's just dangerous and dumb to purpousfully full stall when not over water. Watch the video, where the paragliding tester talks about his job, not even he would full stall over ground and he is a paid professional testing paragliders. Also even if you are dumb enough to do it, you are way too low and don't have enough time to throw your reserve. You risk not only your safety but also your life. The downvotes are well deserved.

[@unit586]

I'm glad people like you exist bro, because this make me a hell of a lot more confident! 😎

[@BobDiaz123]

It's an impressive demo of a wing that can be made to stall, but by its very design, returns to normal operations very quickly.

[@johnkshea3]

The wing is a Paratoys II 26 meter from blackhawk where I got the paramotor, a blackhawk 125. Came with the motor for about 1k more. Great deal and great wing. I use it for free flying too. It's not certified, but equivalent to a 1-2 I'm told.

[@area28]

Very good (Pilot), excellent.

[@meeksdigital]

Nice full stalls and SAT! Never seen anyone do a SAT on the ParaToys 2 before. Great job John... Happy flying!

[@meeksdigital]

The Paratoys 2 is a classic glider, not reflex or semi reflex. Very safe, very stable wing.

[@johnkshea3]

Happy to share with good reason to do so. Not looking to get him in trouble due to strangers on youtube misinterpreting his seasoned skills for recklessness. Feel free to drop me a private message with the reasons for your inquiry.

[@swang6782]

I've done some inverted stall flaps, and then just yoked it in. As long as you keep the speed under control and watch for twisted thermals the descent is quite nice

[@ByronCall]

Why so many dislikes, it's a great video. This guy controls the wing like its an extension of himself

[@violentflow]

Great full stalls Brad.

[@Bobthepilotguy]

title should read "paramotor full stallS" nice video, you make it look like a cake walk!

[@gooseboy6046]

why would anyone dislike this. When i get into this sport i want to learn how to stall it and more importantly get out of a stall safe. Imagine it happening and you haven't had experience with it, fuck that would be scary.

[@johnkshea3]

goose boy yes that was my thinking but remember stalling a Paramotor is much more dangerous than stalling an airplane. When the instructor lands he says, "Still want to go out and full stall it? I've done about six or seven hundred of those, over the lake first." You have to start safely on a rope tow over a lake with no engine, just the wing. Then you can graduate to this. Fly safe!

[@DKG1NDP]

Talk about pucker factor, until I realized you were in total control. WELL DONE

[@movmakerNeo]

read the video description man. it was intentional, he manually shutoff his motor mid flight, and simulated a stall. nothing went wrong

[@brucesweatmaniii6030]

THE WING RECOVERED NICELY. YOUR INSTRUCTOR BESIDE DELL SHANZE ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT does FULL COLLAPSE OF THEIR WINGS. GOOD CONTROL. YOU LEARNED FROM A GOOD ONE, NOW, HAVE HIM TEACH YOU TO DO THIS TOO!?!

[@johnkshea3]

@meeksdigital - I agree that Paratoys 2 is a very safe and stable wing. Not me flying in this vid though. That was Brad Geary, my paramotor and free-flying instructor in San Diego.

[@fastlanetechnologies2512]

Did you love this wing? I just got one but haven’t flown it yet

[@meeksdigital]

Ah! I was going to say man... really solid flying for a new pilot! Haha. Fly safe! This was a great demonstration nonetheless.

[@tnugraha]

a good lesson for me...thanks for sharing

[@jflow5601]

And here I thought that a paramotor was safer than an airplane. Does the paramotor chute safely descend even if there is no movement forward (due to failed motor or bad trim) or does the chute always require trim to allow air to keep the chute open and provide lift? I am not sure I have seen a regular parachute stall due to lack of airflow.

[@tonyfredo2086]

Thanks for sharing, John.

[@dtswk]

Wow, that is seriously impressive wing control..! Really don't understand any negative posts...??

[@cheleni1]

i did a b line once and that was enough for me to have done what he did i would had to wear brown trousers just in case

[@jhonlewis5758]

I don’t understand why people are so nervous on safety when it was obvious he had more than enough altitude to recover. As a private pilot, all pilots go through power on and power off stalls all the time our training, and instructors are required to do spins, all of which have been known to kill at low altitude, so we know how to recover from them when we come across them. That’s probably why he does them too, or he just finds it fun. Either way he was playing as safe as he could, and was being smart about it. Nothing I can call foul on here.

[@johnkshea3]

Brad Geary from Torrey Pines Glider Port would love to give you some pointers on the PPG! Best of luck.

[@zestydude87]

I have got to try this one day!

[@garyhaley3072]

Years ago I worked for a company that built and sold these , they were called powered parachutes. My main job was to try to make them fail or test new chute designs. I always had a ballistic chute just in case I got in trouble. I wouldn’t have one of these up my ass if I had room for a saw mill,,, lol

[@Countess_Samar_SprayArt]

Wanting to get involved. Why does the canopy collapse like that? I would think woth your weight it would bring you down instead. It seemed like there wasnt any weight underneath it at all.

[@MrUAV100]

Cool!! What wing is that please? It looks as though it will recover well from a full frontal stall and also big ears and so on. Is it a reflex, semi reflex or free flight wing? Thanks and safe flying :0)

[@tomastomas11]

how can the wing clap like that? i thought it was basically a paraglider with the motor off

[@ExtremePPG]

Hey man, blacke30 is my other account. Why do i want to know? Because like you said, he's got skills. Bad ass pilot.

[@rawmark]

thank you for this.

[@angusmorganb1990]

Very nice backflies...

[@jeyapaulsamathanam7057]

Dicing with death. Is it worth it ?

[@fractal4284]

Jeyapaul Samathanam actually he was in no danger really at all that Wing is very stable that is why it comes back so quickly it's a Blackhawk Edge

[@dezzahayes6492]

Fractal Vlogs Blackhawk have horrible reviews though

[@pajarinennn5988]

Excellent pilot😉

[@lechwoj598]

nice video!

[@antoniotownsell312]

Otay Mesa...I miss flying out there😊

[@baraodometal8845]

bah cara que leva em ! queria ter uma assim

[@xavieraandx5535]

thanks

[@grahamwalkingshaw6344]

full stall is bad enough lol but to do it on purpose and let the wing clap together now that takes massive size nuts well done buddy amazing video

[@jeffh8693]

what company would build a canopy that collapses so quickly and what type of pilot would purchase such a thing?

[@paoutooPREMIUM]

What? He applied like massive breaking on each side mah dude :P

[@johnkshea3]

jeff h this wing is more stable than 90% of the other wings out there. It took almost all of his strength to collapse it.

[@aryanraj1782]

nice bro lge rho

[@mrpuddlemrpuddle]

I don't know if you will read this as the video is older but if the main wing fails, is there a reserve chute? I'm trying to find info on this but can't seem to. Also have you ever had any huge fails of equipment?

[@starwarsfanforlife]

Yes a lot of people carry a reserve chute and some of them are actually steerable reserves.

[@mrpuddlemrpuddle]

Thank you.

[@starwarsfanforlife]

I don't think there would ever be a time when I would not carry one if I get into the sport. It is your safety net so to speak as long as it does not get tangled up in your wing and it deploys correctly.

[@erwin770]

Jeepers I'd poop my pants if I saw the canopy fold like that on top of me

[@manuellaracastillo4746]

man.. i was about to buy one of this but now i'm scared, what happend? out of wind? or what? doy you have an emergency thing?

[@awsomedude9111]

I wish you had a 360 camera so I could see your hands better.

[@usuariouser224]

Which paraglide model???

[@MrOlivierjuillet]

Houah.! Never tryed it with my paramotor.!

[@billywray4524]

i think people want to see some blood so maybe thats why so many dislikes.

[@whatthefunction9140]

Do Paramotor setups have backup chutes?

[@Tommy14525]

Dylan T you can have one if you want

[@johnkshea3]

Dylan T yes

[@johnkshea3]

@MrGaffeltand: Not at all. If you listen carefully at the end of the video, he says, "Still want to go out and full stall it? I've done six or seven hundred of those - over the lake first." Brad is the whip!

[@randybeard6040]

Just Shows how Forgiving these Newer Wings are, Under Normal Flight in Normal Flying Times these Wings are Very Stall Resistant, if they Stall, they Most Likely will Re-inflate with zero operator Action....

[@Antiecm]

But why does he do this? To show how, or to maybe show safety? I agree, the guy has big balls, and a cool video but I just do not understand why? Is it maybe he like the thrill?

[@johnkshea3]

Antiecm to show the severity and danger of a full stall and how to recover at the same time. Only for experts pilots to attempt and still dangerous.

[@fUjiMaNia]

with each fold (collapse) of that glider when he was pulling on it I was cringing. I just can't do it :/

[@nitroboats25]

He is making it stall on purpose to show how a beginner wing will correct itself.

[@rrmchispas]

Where are flying at?

[@johnkshea3]

+rrmchispas South inland San Diego near the Mexican border.

[@antoniotownsell312]

Otay Mesa

[@derskyflo]

nice ;-)

[@MrGaffeltand]

This wasn't a demo. It was pure panic!

[@johnkshea3]

+MrGaffeltand You're obviously not a paramotor pilot. Panic looks a lot different ;)

[@jarodmorris611]

+John Kennon Shea I'm a private fixed wing pilot....FIXED haha

[@usuariouser224]

OMG!!!

[@antonioosjr]

Uma hora a merda acontece. Torce para ela demorar

[@johnkshea3]

Thanks for sharing!

[@terrencemclaughlin3241]

what were u trying to do crash!

[@pascallhuisset5747]

scaring situation for me

[@fadi420420]

you are the No 1 I wish I can do this......

[@spikepike42]

Asking for trouble instructor or not :-/

[@PopCanHop]

you can have all my nopes

[@steviegenoski9977]

It's not enough that you're flying around with a scooter engine on your back, you still tease the reaper by doing tricks.

[@jacktripper8726]

Right...... All I want to do is fly. No tricks, intentional stalls..... Just fly

[@Ekaterd]

Смотреть то страшно,не то что бы летать

[@user-ki7vx2nb8f]

Крыло его боится

[@scottschreiber8308]

Oh hell no

[@gregsimonson4312]

Couldve collapsed it for more than 2 seconds, would have made a better demo

[@johnkshea3]

+Greg Simonson The fact that the wing recovers so quickly and easily is the main point of the demo. Actually, it's pretty hard to keep any wing collapsed for very long.

[@mrthomaslaux1]

Scarry

[@mwh82108]

a weed eater motor and fan blade with spagetti strings and tampon!

[@IIrandhandleII]

You are at around a thousand feet reserve would do no good

[@johnkshea3]

adfasd the stalls were done between 5 and 6 thousand feet. Reserve chutes can work well under 500 ft.

[@garyhaley3072]

adfasd I worked for a company that built and sold them..I did a lot of testing of different types of ram air chutes. I had what was called a ballistic chute bolted to the front of the trike pointing up and out. I never had to use it but it would shoot out of a tube and open very quick if you were lucky
