Paramotor Vlog - MESSING about, almost STRANDED

[@GregAnthonyHarris]

I was exhausted just watching the engine fail sequence. Your choice of music was totally in point! Totally my vibe!

[@clearprop]

Great stuff. Proper mini adventure with a bit of adversity thrown in. 👍 Oh - and 'rocky' is a key Paranoob word. Stick with it! 🤣

[@blistiff]

Paul, love it. Keeping reality real. Just like Billy Flyer. Great vid.

[@johnling4299]

Nice . ..nerves and anxiety...PPG for ya!!! 😂😂😂....really good video. Never boring. 👍keep reality real.

[@dukeonthewater]

Great footage nicely put together as usual!

[@David65702]

Nice little adventure great weather no worries all in a days work, glad everything worked out, good thing Dad was there to start your motor for you lol.

[@PARANOOB]

😆👍

[@AFlyingGlenn]

Nicely done! And flying by the seat of your pants with the sunset +30 timings too xD

[@helihandler]

Great vid Paul, I like the way you 'tell it like it is' warts and all, which a lot of others omit... Also spotting you're field is a lot harder than most pilots think even when you are right over it ;-) Well done Sir!

[@PARANOOB]

Thank you! 👍

[@geoffcamps]

It was me who flew over you. I was low on fuel so couldn't hang around. Glad you both got back up and home in time.

[@PARANOOB]

Yeah, saw you talking to Nige on FB, thanks for overwatch, meet soon!

[@TimPriestChannel]

Loved the vid, Paul! 😀 Mic off is an easy mistake... did that once for wedding speeches; no audio whatsoever. Didn't invoice for that gig!

[@kaicasswell1]

Nice video. Thanks

[@fastfreddy19641]

Great adventure video

[@ThomasGrillo]

Love the new Eastern sounding music! Beautiful flying area, too. Thanks for the video! :)

[@Robbo1966]

Great video, glad you got started and back safely. Quite impressed with the speeds you can achieve and having watched Giles's recent upload its interesting his opinion on both paramotoring and sub70kg. Ive been up to meet Simon at Membury, sounds like a decent chap, could be about to start paramotor training. Would appreciate any tips, thanks again for sharing your adventures

[@PARANOOB]

He is indeed a decent chap, you'll be in very good hands.. Off the top of my head, tips... Don't buy any gear yet, listen to Col, pull on the high side and stay under the logo. :)

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

I had a pull start fiasco last week, although I wasn’t landed out. Pulled on the starter for about 5 minutes then someone came over and told me I still had my “remove before flight” air box, exhaust and breather hose bungs still in 🙄 good to see you’ve been having fun 👍

[@PARANOOB]

😆

[@RASPUK]

Nice flight mate, just in the nick of time getting back :)

[@markallisonparamotor]

Fun flight with Nigel! Nothing like a tight deadline of sunset to focus the mind. :D

[@WiltshireMan]

That was a close call Paul. I wonder why your engine refused to start when you landed out? Nice flight and vlog:) Sandy

[@PARANOOB]

Think I'd flooded it and not realised..

[@brianclarke4159]

Brilliant and funny, I feel for you when it doesnt start

[@simonhamilton4002]

Great montage at the start!

[@PARANOOB]

They're a cop out but I do enjoy making them.

[@Adrenalinspunk]

Might wanna to check you valve clearances when 4 stroke become hard to start its normally down to the clearances and might need reshimming

[@PARANOOB]

Yep, they must be due a check. Think this was a flooding issue though.

[@rich_vincent]

I was getting out of breath for you when you couldn't get it started!! Looked like a great flight though :)

[@xncc1701]

Nothing like an engine that won't restart to add to the adventure! So if after maybe 4 pulls it won't start then it's flooded. To cure simply hold the throttle fully open and then pull, usually starts at 3 or 4 pulls.

[@PARANOOB]

How does fully-open help? Surely that's giving it even more fuel? Thank you AGAIN! :)

[@xncc1701]

@@PARANOOB How the hell do I Know!? all I Know is it saved you from a long wait and an annoyed retrieve driver :)

[@PARANOOB]

Was already wincing at you making the car journey..

[@TimPriestChannel]

@@PARANOOB Hitch-hiking is always an option!!??!!

[@nzdavmor]

Full throttle opens the intake air passage to compensate for the high fuel level (flooding), but requires caution with over-speeding...pleased with your outcome and take you for sharing (love your accent, don’t hear it enough here in Seattle)!

[@robdotcom71]

My english friend on FB was having a big whinge on the heat today.... and then I find out it was 28 degrees.... Ohhhhhhhhhhh lololololol. You guys would hate our 43 degree days...lol. Good to see you flying again.. great vid Paul.

[@PARANOOB]

We don't have it for long enough to acclimatise.. two days of googling air con then back to moaning about the cold. 😆

[@robdotcom71]

@@PARANOOB Bwahahahahahahahahahaha

[@OoxTruExoO]

Whereabouts is that canal where you were flying? Looking for a new spot to go canoeing.

[@PARANOOB]

Over in the fens, so a drainage ditch rather than a canal.. 👍

[@AirbornePirates]

Thought you were destined for a taxi in that field 😃 good video as always Paul

[@PARANOOB]

Me too, was mentally planning explaining a paramotor to a taxi firm.

[@TONYPARAMOTOR]

excellent video. thumbs up ;0). please don't mention " rusty" ..... only joking. at 9.00 u trying to start the motor. if that was me my blood pressure would be sky-high. and if anyone was on ground listening .there think i had tourettes syndrome.... Murphys law. what may go wrong will go wrong... glad it started.

[@flyskiride]

These things happen luckily it started eventually

[@clippedwing-bensmith1614]

8:42 that look to the sky, I have done that same look and most likely had the same thought 😂

[@PARANOOB]

😆👍

[@chorleyted]

Nice video again noobman 👍

[@billcallahan9303]

Para, I think you said you might becoming to the States. If you're coming to Florida, you can stay at my house. I just built a nice roomy barn that doubles as a nice cabin. Food & accommodation FREE. Look up Tallahassee, Florida. I'm about 25 miles south of that city & 20 more miles to the beaches & the Gulf of Mexico. This is a serious offer! No B.S. Stay as long as you like. If needed, you can use my car to see other parts of Florida if you like. Just pay for gas...now about $2.10 per gallon. Liters???

[@PARANOOB]

Bill, you're a good man, thank you. 👍❤

[@billcallahan9303]

You should try the toilet paper trick haha

What's that?

[@PARANOOB]

Oh, throwing it? 👍😉

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

That did get a bit exciting. What was wrong with the mighty Bailey then?

[@PARANOOB]

Think I flooded it, didn't realise and kept feeding it.

First : D
