Flat Top and GoPro Testing and First Flight

I decided to do a test of my new GoPro 4K-capable camera (the Hero4 Black edition) while also doing my first real run-up and hands on test of my (almost new) Flat Top paramotor. This is a serious upgrade to my previous camera AND flying equipment. I wasn't sure where I'd go with this test but it ended up being my first flight on this paramotor. I thought I'd at least do some power taxiing around the field out back, but the weather and the power and everything else felt right to just start flying. Fortunately, I knew this would be the likely outcome so preflight motor and airspace checks were already done!

Nice video John. I live only a couple hours from you. I am surprised I hadn't run across your videos before now. Where did you get your training and how did you end up with a flattop? I fly with a Simonini because I feel like it is quieter than most other models. I agree with ElkMagic's comments about the Sena for Live Communications. Check out some videos from James Allred. His Sena setup is superb. Hope you are still getting some airtime!
