Nice one guys! If you ever want to do a video on full size paramotors, hit me up!

[@taofledermaus]

You KNOW Peter was just itching to put some rocket motors on that thing!

[@jeffdillingham2999]

You guys have too much fun. Glad to see Peter using my favorite transmitter, FrSky Taranis!

"I wonder if it flys inverted..."

[@maxhungate2249]

please do more of these they are great, thanks for getting me into the hobby of Rc

[@tonyredhawk]

As an owner of a real life one, I gotta say that is one RC that I want. It would be so very cool to fly it when conditions are more active than I would launch in, then when my RC guy is flying in nice launch air then time to put him away and go up myself.

MISTAKES:

[@TheGrateWall]

I was hoping you guys would post something more, and you delivered! Thanks!

[@nitro200flyer3]

You guys ..throttle is elevator. .Tucker let them know

[@omerreuveni]

Finally ! I wanted to ask you to shot an episode about OPALE Paramodels, they have really good paramotors. I'm flying a 2.7 meter wingspan for the last year and just ordered the 5.0 meter wingspan. Thank you for that episode, enjoy your new wing :)

As has been said the "brakes" are not elevators. They are used for 2 purposes - firstly by using one brake you can turn left or right (which is what the rudder/aileron stick does) secondly both brakes (the elevator stick) can be used to flare the paramotor just before landing. Throttle is used to climb or descend. There are heaps of KZbin vids on flying a paramotor or paraglider (full size) that shows how they fly.

This new item you guys have it was hilarious. very different from the other Rc devices but very unique.

[@Millbrook1974powderedwater]

Great fun to see you guys picking up the ins and outs on paramotoring! You might find it interesting to rig it onto a trike or quad, then you could launch the way we do!

[@ACorlett48]

It's funny how they are COMPLETELY clueless when it comes to the physics of how a ram air airfoil works. They barely scratched the surface of all the cool stuff they could do with that. Like the spirals, full loops, thermal gliding. I bet / hope behind the scenes they're learning all this stuff and we get a revisit very soon. It's a totally new area and visually stunning if they can learn the tricks. It would be even more fun to watch if Peter designed a reserve chute system (wink wink).

This looks liek a good FPV platform for Landscape shoots and long duration flights, not fast but can carry a lot of stuff( battery) and glides very smooth

[@johnnydep8979]

Nice and cute flying machine. Something extraordinary that you usually don't see

[@tuthiernichtzursache]

He Guys from Flite Test. Para RC have NO Elevator. This is a Break. You can use it to slow down the Paragleider. You have only left an right. To go climb put on more Thtottel, to desent Shut off the Throttel.

[@didierneeferc]

Lovely episode guys!

[@BushcraftTexas]

I traded my fpv flying for flying a scale powered paramotor a few months back. Watching this video that model seems to mimic the real thing real close. I saw Tucker shouted in the comments, I watch his videos all the time, take him up on his offer to go play with the scale ones!!! I'm in Ohio again in September, willing to show you mine up close as well. Cool video!

[@chrisongtj86]

Looks really fun!
