      Awe! Thank you so much for those kind words! I will make sure to forward your comment to Heidi right now. She will really appreciate that and takes so much pride in what she does. The company would absolutely not be the same without her. The way she connects with customers and her work ethic is simply brilliant. I'm so glad to call her my friend =)

    What a great place you have! Finding a place to launch around here that is legal and clean (not dirt, salt, or weeds) has been virtually impossible.

      The BlackHawk Ranch is incredible. You are always welcome to come camp out for free and vacation here. Our April Fly In is AMAZING if you can ever make it to that. Lots of neat people and the best flying of the year!

    Nice Video. good background music. The Trike is tempting, although we are leaning to a Quad. Can you guys do a video on Kiting classes. No motor, and tying to bring up the glider. Maybe even towing a glider. Thanks!

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  7 років тому

      We've been talking about that actually... Producing some actual training videos. The only problem is there are people out there who will try and teach themselves. I know it sounds crazy for people to try and learn to fly an actual aircraft on their own, but some lose sight of safety when they want to fly so badly. We are looking into producing some basic "tips" videos to help existing Pilots enhance their skills. Stay tuned to our channel =)

    I thought you were the "Quad Guys." A lot of Pilots will be excited I'm sure. I prefer Trikes but I've been flying quite a while.

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  8 років тому +1

      +Kenneth Coulbourne The LowBoy II Quad is the way to go if you are just getting started in the sport. For Pilots who have been flying for a while (like yourself), we now have a smaller, more compact alternative. The Quad is much more stable, thus why we recommend it to beginners. Thanks for the comment Kenneth!

  • @ZIX1231
    @ZIX1231 8 років тому

    Two comments.... I haven't read all the others so I apologize if I repeat.
    1. I would like to see small "L" shaped hooks at the ends of the steering bar to prevent your foot from sliding off the bar.
    2. Would it make sense to add a pad below the seat in the event of an "harder" landing so that you don't drop down quickly onto the frame???
    Other than that-------AWESOME looking product--can't wait to try it!!!!!!!

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  8 років тому

    Have you ever tried to put together a stick type of steering? On any long distance flick, your arms have got to get tired holding them above your shoulders.

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  4 роки тому +2

      Thanks for the comment! You can let go of the toggles while in flight and the Paramotor will maintain straight-and-level flight. It's so easy to grab them again - if a turning adjustment is needed. We also have "weight shift" units that allow the Pilot to make slow turns by simply shifting their weight in their seat. For these reasons, a stick wouldn't be necessary and would just add to the cost of people getting into the sport =)

    @nathansterrett3054 5 років тому

    Doesn't this put lit of pressure on the motor's frame? Once you lift off the trike his hanging from the back mounts and your legs are resting way out front. I would think that would bend your frame or something over time.

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  5 років тому

      Hi Nathan! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. We've never had an issue with the frame bending. The trike configuration is really solid for how lightweight it is. If you haven't seen it yet, check out our new LowBoy III Hybrid Quad/Trike. It's one of the nicest platforms we've produced. I'll include a link below. If you have any questions about our gear, we're always happy to help! =)

It might need a slight modification to the mounting brackets (which our shop can help with), and we have many people with a different brand motor using our Lite-Trike.

      Hi Jerry! Thanks for connecting with us. When you have a moment, take a picture of the motor you have and email it to our office so they can see where the connection point would be. Let them know that you messaged us on UA-cam so they know what's going on. I'm the Marketing Guy and work off-facility. The Trike is very "universal" and with little or no modifications, can work with many motors out there. Hope you have a great week and blue skies!

      Thank you for posting a comment! We actually have several motors that will work with the Trike... It comes down to finding the right motor for your weight. Below is a link to our Package Deals Website Page... If you scroll down, you will see "motor comparison charts" that will show you which units work with the Trike, and the MAX PILOT WEIGHT to see which motor might be best for you. Please contact our office anytime if you would like a customized price quote or have any questions. We're always here to help =)

    How is the front tire mounted? Castered or reverse castered or something else?

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  6 років тому

      Hi there! The Trike is not mounted on a caster system. It is more of a standard steering system. It will still self-align if a Pilot takes their feet off. Pilots can even land with their feet off of it, and it will center upon landing. It's a great system with plenty of range-of-motion. If you want to contact our office, we can get you in contact with the closest Dealer so you can possibly see one in person. It's a beautiful, well-built platform. We're very happy with it =). Happy New Year and thanks for posting all the comments on our channel!

    If you change from foot launch to trike launch configuration do you have to change your hang point? Is the balance of the trike roughly where your normal foot launch CG is? Cheers!

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  7 років тому

      Thanks for taking a moment and posting a question! There are a few simple adjustments that need to be made when you switch to Quad or Trike. When you first get a Trike or Quad, we can guide you through a "hang point test" so you can locate the perfect spot to place the connection points (which can be different for everyone depending on loading. When you have a moment, reach out to our office so we can answer any questions you have about this life-changing sport!

      @blackhawkparamotor  5 років тому

      Thanks for the comment and questions. The average speed with a standard Paraglider is about 20-25mph. Pilots only need about 30-50 feet of takeoff room for foot-launch and about 75-100ft for quad-launch. If you ever have any more questions, we're happy to help =)

      horrible, so we had to increase prices on Ebay to be higher than on the

    • @blackhawkparamotor
      @blackhawkparamotor  6 років тому

      Great question... The prop needs a clear path for air to move in and out of the prop smoothly. If we covered the entire prop, it would cause unnecessary vibration and a loss in efficiency with the motor.

      +kanyeff The Weight Shift works incredibly well! Very dynamic response. We were very pleased with this addition, as it makes the experience that much closer to free-flight! Give us a call when you are ready to Weight-Shift the tar out of your own Lite Trike! (209) 786-7899
