Getting in and out of the harness. Paramotor geometry part 21.1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- Let's start with harness geometry today!
Some paramotor are easier to seated in, some are easier to seated out! In this episode, you will find out why.
Harness is not only important for comfort in flight, first we need to RUN, TAKE-OFF and in the end, we need to LAND!
Feel free to have any question at info@scoutparamotor.com

I think, "Basically, I'm hanging on my balls" with the phrase, "How deep will you sag?" in the background is the funniest part of the series so far. :)
+WoodysGamertag sorry If I messed with English. I am not native speaker, obviously.
Anyway, if it was possible to understand, then it's perfectly fine to have a little fun...
Haha, yeah that was an amusing phrasing, and refreshingly honest too if only because it is true, when the wing takes up the load so do my balls, I have to agree getting into the seat easily is more important than getting out if only for the sake of my poor nuts :D .....No apologies required :)
Excellent series. Enjoyed every one & thank you very much for your knowledge & hard work producing these videos!
I would like to make two points here.....first, at 68 years old, I am not about to become a PPG pilot but I certainly enjoy watching all the videos about the sport. Oh, to be 20 years younger! I am truly amazed at how you have dissected in great detail and explained VERY WELL all the physics involved in this series of videos. You do the sport a great service, in my opinon, even though from a manufaturer's standpoint you risk sharing your detailed knowledge with competitors. For that you should be commended. Secondly, never EVER feel like you should apologize for your command of the English language (as it is not your first language). I know of lots of people on UA-cam who SHOULD apologize for their English....and it is the only language they know! Best Regards, thanks again, F
Thanks for your kind words!
Awesome series here, I've learned a lot about equipment, positioning and geometry of all this, although I don't fly YET, this has been super helpful. Great work!
I see your profile pic is on a paramotor so it appears you made it into the sky. I'm watching all of these even tho I haven't flown yet
1:16 Especially a concern with PPG pilots. They're anatomically bigger than most. Obviously.
another nice video
Yes folks, we have another wonderful paramotor "quote" for marketing a new line of Scout T-Shirts ; )
You would think Woody would have the sensitivity to say, "Enough with the jokes, already, !!! ...Sheesh...!!! Come-on Guys, my daughter reads this stuff." : o
thank you
What about a two stage leg strap adjustment? Tight on takeoff, then pull a strap to lengthen them for a better landing configuration?
I think getting in and out must be a hands free operation. Check for the update to this video: 21.2
wish school was this interesting id of came out with better results 😂
+mark675 you made my day! Lol
SCOUT paramotor Lol! 😄 great videos im learning loads, thankyou👍
hi, how are you? once again... really cool videos!
I have a question... I know the hang points position will define how reclined the paramotor is... but will they will make a big difference on how reclinded during landing when you get out of your seat for landing?
Thanks

"On my Balls" @1:20
Great series. Love to give the NXT unit a shake-down..When are they available in Australia?
Outstanding Series!! I have yet to fly, done some skydiving but disappointed by time and money involved vs. time in the air. Very interested in PPG. I've been trying to learn as much as I can before training and purchase. I have learned so much here without a sales pitch. Thank you so much for this excellent information. Needless to say my interest is highly elevated towards SCOUT. I feel I've been educated in all PPG's not just SCOUT, you've allowed me to make a much more informed decision. My only concern at this point is the forgiveness of the carbon fiber should I make errors as a beginner pilot. Will it cost a lot of money if I make an occasional minor error during takeoff or landings as I become an experienced pilot? .
+Terry Taylor I have noticed increased concern about crashing paramotors especially in the US. Probably due to higher share of self-trained pilots.
In fact flying is not but about crashing and I know many pilots who fly many years with the same prop.
With good training you will probably have only one crash 6-12 months after training as your self confidence outgrows your skills and you start to do shortcuts (intermediate syndrome). Then you return to basics again :-)
If your budget is limited, invest in good training rather than gear.
Fly safe and enjoy
Thanks those are my plans
I'm buying the scout enduro with metal instead of carbon for this reason.
Much cheaper too.
I sorta wish you could show examples in the field.
My question would be why not tighten the leg straps for takeoff and loosening them a bit for landing? Is my logic flawed? I bought my first Scout, but have yet to fly it...
Can you do video from acro paramotor perspective?
Developed any electric motors, counter spinning big props system yet?
