Flight 304 takeoff with Mr Doug Kremer
I was fueling mine one day when a little girl who had been looking at it for a long time asked, "What is that thing?" I replied it was a kind of airplane. She looked at it a while longer and then said, "NO it's NOT!"
It's good to see you flying again. It looks like there's still a little snow on the ground.
I just came across your channel, what are you flying? Does it have a flight yoke? Thanks.
@@bryandmelton It has a throttle for up down and foot steering bars for left right. So easy an Electrician can do it!
@@bryandmelton Powered parachute
I had a gt400 couple yrs ago. I broke it landing. I'm new to ultralights and have difficulty landing. I sold the wreckage. I do not know if I'll ever get another 1. I had 15 hours of training time in different small aircraft. I did like flying tho. Would you say try again? Or not
@@geoffnavolt1970 Sorry to hear about the mishap. Were you flying a Powered Parachute or what type of aircraft? I guess a lot of it depends on your passion for flying, your hand eye coordination, your reflex speed and about half a dozen other things. It has been the best hobby I have ever been involved with, I’ve had a few! I’ll send you my email address if you want to talk further.
@greggschachterleppc2769 I had a quicksilver gt400. If you youtube my name I do have it on my channel.
@ I’ve heard those are good machines.
Easy:Over populated areas= 1000' above the highest object within 2000'. Sparsely populated 500' away from not above. This has a caveat. As he mentioned even helicopters must fly at an altitude to deal with an emergency.
Don't fly any higher than you would want to fall.
@@gsp49 In that case, avoid ladders! 🤣Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.
Sweet
Gregg you are one tough dude it’s gotta be pretty chilly up there? What is the temp? Thanks for the post buddy👍
@@johnsturgill2538 Of course it depends on the day. Even with all my warm weather gear, one hour in the air when the temperature is 25° on the ground is about all I can handle.
WoW Gregg, watching you take off & having your shadow out in front of you makes for a great optical illusion of sorts.... I'm sure you saw that in editing or viewing prior to uploading this. I can feel your freedom & I guess this is Nebraska, a place I've never been. The views are nice & I know there's much more up there. Must be cold by now? God Bless You/yours
@@diggy-d8w When I was younger and dumber I flew one day in 14° weather. Most recently I’ve flown in 28° weather but I have all of the clothing for it.
Yes, once I typed in the Airport/Town I heard you say, I knew how cold your area gets although I've never been up in that area. From Michigan to Texas, north to south & every State to the Eastern United States I have traveled thru in excess, but the western States I have not made yet? I've always wanted to see Nebraska/Montana, Utah, Wyoming but just didn't have people there so I never made it. Seeing from your aircraft is pretty good & I appreciate that. I also appreciate you openly praying to God ~ I am a believer. You be safe & GB ALL of You/yours
@ If you stop by for a visit and the weather is good I will take you up!
That's very kind of you, Sir.... if I see myself going anywhere near your way I'd love to do that. Thank you so much.
what geographic area of the US are you flying in? 300ft does LQQK kool.... peace & GB
@@diggy-d8w Nebraska
Yeah Buddy, your local LEO's gottcha now for speeding...... lol, not. Anyhoo, you sure made that look easy(touch -n- go). Yes, it LQQKs like a beautiful day to FLY. peace
@@diggy-d8w It sure was a beautiful day! Do you fly?
No but I'm sure LQQKing at it in a "wanting" fashion..... I do like what I'm seeing. peace & Seasons Greetings
No way I'm flying on something if the engine sounds like a leaf blower.
@@erictaylor5462 🤣 yep, my wife calls it a mad weed eater. It’s actually an aircraft engine but it is a two stroke. I would love to have a four stroke but you start adding about $20,000 to the equation.
One unwritten "Rule" of flying, is to Know where you are going 2:32 BEFORE leaving the ground. 🤔 Have a FULL tank of gas too. .

"An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure."
@@jakerazmataz852 Good comment.
@@greggschachterleppc2769 Credit google.😁
500’ above unpopulated areas. 1000’ above populated areas.
In Canada it is 1000 ft. AGL over a built up area. What constitutes a built up area? It could be a farmer's house surrounded by a thousand acres, if he complaints you will hear about it.
I'm a current light plane flyer, who often flies quite low, as in fence post height, (ground effect is a wonderful thing) BUT, only when no one or nothing is around, simple. The other day I saw 2 foot launched powered para guys flying 2 to 300' above a freeway, homes, etc., as I was also a UL flier years ago, "I get it," it's fun, but damn, not where other can see and bitch, use alittle common sense! You have a great audio setup BTW!
@@portnuefflyer That sounds like some dodgy stuff you witnessed. I was taught not to fly over something you can’t land on. Each one has their own comfort level but safety is of the upmost importance in my way of thinking. I’m glad you could hear me, I spent quite a bit of time trying to get the audio right.
having "in the USA" would be a useful indication you are aware of the rest of the world...
@@TheFlyingScotsmanTV Thanks for watching
Cold so go help out at the #2 Mass.... do you best Fire -n- Brimstone & I bet things heat right up..... or not. Nice flight, GB ALL
Nice video Gregg. I so wish I could do PPC but we don't seem to have it in the UK
So, flying west of Kearney but close to Odessa, Was I off,
@@rogergrant8865 Warmer, warmer!
So, you were in either Keith or Lincoln Co. Nebraska?
@@rogergrant8865 Buffalo county
Short but VERY miss leading. What about; over a/an Airport City Reserve National park Research center Military ........? There are a bunch of yahoos on YT who think they built models or fly drones they think they can do anything they please. One ex: complete disregard for airport traffic patterns. Love all the sections of aviation but follow the rules for safety. PS Just look at Trent Palmer and all his gang.
@@mnice59 I was commenting on a few sentences in the far aim.
@mnice59 You think planes should only land on paved runways?
@@JPTulo Nope.
@@greggschachterleppc2769 Sorry, I was talking to the other guy. I fly an inch off the ground for miles at a time.
@ Sounds like you and I can be friends! What aircraft are you fly?
sweet
I would disagree. 500 feet. While, you could fly 1 foot off the ground across a lawn : Aircraft over non-congested areas Aircraft must fly at least 500 feet above the surface, unless flying over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, aircraft must remain at least 500 feet away from people, vessels, vehicles, or structures. Tractors, are vehicles. A vessel is anything that is designed to carry a person as far as a boat. But it can also mean someone riding an ATV. Structures, could mean Barn's, hangars, windmills. When somebody goes to land a powered parachute near their trailer, there is obviously the exemption because you are coming in for a landing. However, if you were not, then you would be in violation. So to me, the most logical and safest answer would be 500 feet . To say that you could fly an aircraft as low as it's possible in order for you to safely landed in the event of a catastrophic engine failure is not necessarily the appropriate answer because it depends on the logistics of the area.
You’re allowed to do observation passes and go-arounds, you don’t HAVE TO land.
@ and again that is not correct. At a tower airport you're required to remain in the pattern. Only during an intended landing, can you make a go around, because you would specifically be going around from a landing. Now, since you want to bring up the phrase "go around "and land, we can talk about landing exemptions in which there is no minimum height requirement because she would be landing. However, going back to what I originally stated the more appropriate answer is 500 feet from the surface. You can ask any flight instructor or any FSDO on that one. I have flown my powered parachute, many times in, even though I could easily scrape 2 feet above the ground, and sometimes I do in large open areas. But, when I'm around structures, towers, people, I don't allow a lackadaisical attitude.
Wonderfull ❤❤❤❤
Great question & answer..... you know the way it's written leaves room for THEM to use it how they'd like meaning they might use it to reprimand is they so desired? I think you read/understood it correct but for me personally there's an amount of the respect you show by not swooping too low above a property. Legally you might be able to fly lower but out of respect one might stay a certain height when near a home, barns, or other property? I think respect & a healthy dose of common sense will always prevail in how a flyer handles his flight..... I'm glad you're tackling these head-on b/c this is important to know. As an old man I see "common sense" being treated as a relic of the past.... lol, good video. You're a relatively new flyer & the first couple of videos are the straight up important things to know. More to watch..... chat soon. peace & GB
Mr. Gregg, apparently when struck w/ this type of problem things are strangely quiet -n- serene as you LQQK off into the void but for some despite the tranquil look of things....Umm, are SCREAMing inside their mind as this unfolds? I'm just an older guy hoping to fly a Pt103 plane at some point. I happened upon this video & it resonates with me. peace & GB
@@diggy-d8w Good for you on the 103 flight plan. I would encourage you to get as much instruction as if you were going to fly with a sport pilot license. I have done engine off with several people only after asking if they are up for a little adventure. No one has seems scared once I turn it off because we don’t go down very much faster than when I Idle down temporarily. Best Hobby ever for me. This is done voice to text so I hope all the grammar and spelling makes sense.
Yeah, if I see myself closer to doing it I'd want some basic instruction on the craft I was gonna use. I gather you're using a chute type wing b/c on the ground when the restart didn't happen you lost the air under that chute. I've been looking at a variety of Pt 103's & I think some sort of fixed wing or one that can be easily folded would be better for me but I've got lots to research before I get to that. This video was important & the only one like it I've seen. This is what most would worry about & you've shown what to expect. Sure they drop at different rates but just so you aren't free-falling, you're ok? I wouldn't want Tom Petty's song Free Falling at my graveside service - yuk. GB
@@diggy-d8w Depending on the wind you’re gliding down at about 600 ft./min. Roughly 10 ft./s.
Yes Sir, seeing you cut the power was soothing & I don't even fly... lol, but to see/hear it live just gave me a better understanding of the "event"..... I'm "Subb'd Up" for you cutting thru the BS & just doing it . I am not afraid of it like I think most might be.... thanks for the front row seat & just so you've got the wing full of air you are alright. I've not been looking at this stuff too long but this is what anyone needs to know about the sport. What you showed isn't shown very often so I'm guessing most are afraid of losing an engine. TY for showing us & I'll be checking out your other work(s). peace & GB You/yours
Religious people are SOOOOO cute!
Gregg great video . I like to see how people do things differently. I do it the same way you do. Keep the videos coming.
@@johnsturgill2538 Thanks John!
All that lovely scenery, but the worldwide audience wonders where it was?
@@peterworsley4699 Kearney, Nebraska.
I was wondering what happened to you today; now I know! I can't blame you. It was a mighty fine morning for flying.
@@dandaily5522 Text…
video and sound quality is excellent!!
@@cadillacforge Thanks. I had to have a special cord made to get everything just right. I’m glad it is working well.
Best, hobby, EVAAHHH!
several of these birds fly around Quartzsite Arizona in the winter season, looks fun, great channel. liked and subscribed
Very nice! What’s your method for drying your wing after morning flights? I’m yet to fly in the morning.
@@chucksadler4029 I do my best to fly until all of the dew has evaporated. From time to time I’ve had to lay my chute out on the front yard after packing up from the Landing zone.
Great engine off landing.
You are VERY generous! I came too close to that ditch.😮
It never gets old does it!!
@@advpilot2833 Nope! Best, hobby, evaahh!
(b. of part 91. 119 states (Over congested areas. Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.
But, what about civil? I.e., when can the owner of property legitimately charge that you are "trespassing" due to your being too low?
Property owners do not have any rights as far as the air. In truth, property owners do not really own their property. Your property is owned by the government. If you don't believe me, just stop paying property tax and see how long before they foreclose on your property and take it.
It was a blast!
It looks like a great flight
I did the same thing Gregg. I appreciate you sharing.
GREGG YOU SPEND SO MUCH TIME FILLING THE CAMERA YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST DO YA TALK FROM AN OFFICE CHAIR, GRT A WING CAMERA WE CAN HERE YOU WITH JUST STARING AT YOUR FACE FOR THE WHOLW VID, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT FLYING NOT , FACE TO FACE SIT IN" IF ITS JUST ABOUT YOU CAMERA HOGGING THE FINE BUT IM OUT.
Stop yelling.
Great answer, the other questions I always get are: 1. How high can you go 2. How long can you fly 3. How much does it cost 4. Do you need a license I like that your video was short and to the point.
*I am not an expert, do not take my word for anything* That being said: There is not a set max altitude always (that you need to worry about, technically you aren't allowed in class A airspace without permission but if you can get up there in an ultralight I'd be surprised). There are ceilings in some places, like underneath class B and C airspaces, Which are shaped like upside down wedding cakes. While you technically can fly under them, generally these are around airports in big cities, where ultralights aren't allowed anyway. Rule of thumb is stay in the middle of nowhere and you'll be fine. How long can you fly entirely depends on the aircraft. You're limited to 5 gallons of fuel, excluding fuel lines and tubes and stuff. I'm unsure of whether you can legally carry fuel as cargo (not in the tank). The range of the plane pretty much depends on efficiency. Some ultralights only fly for an hour or so, others can fly for much longer. Cost you're on your own idk. Sorry. Probably a lot less than flight school and buying a real plane though. No you don't need a license or any kind of aircraft certification or registration. Ultralights and paraglides are technically considered "unclassified vehicles". Think of it like a go cart in the sky; you don't need license and registration for it, but you better not drive it on the highway. Here's a link to FAR 103: www.usua.org/Rules/faa103.htm#:~:text=The%20rule%20governs%20the%20operation,twilight%20hours%20with%20proper%20lighting. Feel free to politely correct anything I may have gotten wrong in the replies.
Great Fun. Thank you :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
From what I see and hear radio communication standards in the US for both amateur and aviation are pretty much rat shit.

I'm glad to know your father and think your pride and respect of him is right on target 🎯
That is a really nice way of describing how your father has positively affected your life. Praying for both of you.
