@Jonas Marcinko when I first started following you. You seemed to have it together. It seems that you are taking flying more like a joke and taking risks just to make content. Seems to me just a little more caution would save you money in the long run and most likey keep you from injuring yourself and/ or Sylvia in the future. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see more sensible fun in the future from you.
A frankenbuild paramotor, no netting on the hoop, no reserve parachute, ... Jonas. You can submit a better application for a Darwin Award. Sometimes it surprises me that you are still alive, didn't loose a limb and not in a wheel chair. ;-(
Y'all need to chill out and quit being the youtube safety hall monitors. You have no idea what he did beforehand to prepare for this video. There's probably quite a bit of behind the camera preparation that he put into it, and we don't see. Not to mention he's a highly experienced operator of planes, paramotors, and paragliders. Then there's the fact that he only made it 3 feet off the ground... Look at all the facts before you decide to post your "Im an aviation safety expert" drama.
I just don’t know where to start with this... I’m with you as to how he’s still alive.... I don’t find this funny at all, his girl was right to have her doubts, this is a great vid on how to make every mistake in the book.. stupid doesn’t cover it🧐
@@mtoutflying3926 sorry but if you know anything about paramotoring you’ll know this was dangerous.. ok so his prop was hardly big enough to be a leaf blower..... but it would of done him some serious damage if his hand got dragged into it ( which only luck prevented at the end ).. If you are trying to say this was a carefully set up spoof.... I’m going to respectfully disagree 😕
UA-cam stopped recommending your videos in my feed for some unknown reason two months ago. Had to come looking for you. I'm glad you're both still at it, Jonas!

Be super careful - a friend had an accident with a un guarded prop like that and he did not survive... it was ugly. I’d put that in the not worth it catagory. Love your channel!
I was having a beer at a tiki bar in Florida when a guy sat beside me. He had a massive scar across his biceps. "Looks like a nasty injury", I mention. He responds "that's nothing...it goes right across my chest!!!" He pulls out his phone and shows me a picture of his chest split open from side to side by two parellel gashes. Only one extended thru his arm. He started his paramotor on the ground and the throttle stuck. He still loved the sport and claimed it was really safe. In 9 months he only had two mishaps. The other was a bad landing that ended in a shattered wrist. That one conversation turned me off paramotors for ever.
Ive done paramotoring a few times...the props on the pro kit are waaaaay bigger. And the engines more powerful too. As for the welding; be thankful you didnt get airborne....
Jonas, I have faith that you and your bubble machine will soon be the inspiration for all of us less daring folks. I loved watching this. Your energy, the support from your partner... Awesome!
Well it was a valiant effort I'll give you that. Though having a bigger prop would have made a significant difference and maybe a slightly bigger wing. All in all..Not Bad for a DIY build.
Fortunately nothing happened, but basic safety precautions are never overkill, like having a simple net that would prevent your hand from getting destroyed by the prop if anything went just slightly wrong. I'm all for experimenting, I'm sure you'd agree your hand and your arm are worth more than a UA-cam video... Plus, this may give the wrong message, right one would be, experimenting is fine, but it should be done safely. That aside, your videos are great!!!
Don't worry about the negative comments you are only doing what loads of us watching would love to do.. I for one use to jump off the garage roofs when I was a kid with umbrella's and bed sheets 😂👍
Remove the governor where the blade is providing the constant load. The governor is on there to avoid full throttle from lack of load. Plenty of vids out there to tell you how to do it on the Predator 212 engine
Have a feeling it will be running full steam next video! Please start cloning Sylvia! She is a Gem! Love how supportive she is in all your adventures! Cheers to you Both!
You need a short pipe to direct the exhaust. Its mostly to prevent thermal shock to the exhaust valve(s). It will in this case need to be a 90 degree to clear the prop. Get a prop sized and pitched for a vw engine. This is just to control tip speed as you removed the governor from the carb.
Dude... This is exactly what I want to try. I'm very happy for you! Those with work ethic who don't want to spend $10,000 minimum will make their dreams happen.
If you rebuild that (I hope you don't), at least put a net on the front side of that cage. That will prevent your risers or more importantly, your body parts from getting in the prop.
Concept is sound. 5000 RPMs the propeller tips may be going through the speed of sound making more noise than thrust. A semitar propeller may solve the compressability problem, but a re-drive unit and a longer propeller may give you the thrust you need if the engine has the power. What you are needing to to do is recreate a HIRTH engine. Why not. These Harbor Freight engines are cheep and hop up parts are widely available. People run Gyro-copters on Harbor Fright 25HP engines. Look forward to seeing your rig fly. :)
I just did a proper flight with it! 36x12 prop and the cold air. I was getting 4700rpm. I’m a bit confused that the larger prop same pitch gave higher RPMs but it worked! I’ll try and edit the video tomorrow and upload.
nice build... you have guts to try it... Next time try a bigger engine.. also.. these only turn about 3500 RPM if you leave the governor in there. So get a prop with the size and pitch to make good thrust at that RPM. Or remove the governor.. That brings other concerns too though. Find one with the exhaust on the other side, or use a spacer on the prop. Or just mount a manifold to those bolts with tubing.. bend it to point downwards and then put a good muffler on the end of it pointing down. If you run an engine with NO exhaust you can burn a valve eventually.
Hey mate, interesting video. Hope you get everything fixed up Please don’t start the motor on the ground again. It’s not really what people do anymore. Iv seen lots of old school guys with missing fingers. And lots of guys who still tempt fate for the sake of a tiny bit more effort. Get it on your back and start it that way. It’s what the cool kids do.
That was a riot! Worth a shot anyway. Another foot on each blade, and maybe 10 more HP, you'd have been flying. What an AWFUL sound that is - lines in the prop! I've heard it a couple times on mine. I still haven't flown it yet - that was just practice taxiing runs (trike launch setup). Surprisingly the first time, there was no damage whatsoever. After the 4th time, it broke through the outer skin of the line, but the core was still good. Tough stuff! I barely got out on it at all this summer - not enough hours in the day, and not enough smooth air days in the Northeast. Maybe next year will be my year to fly solo.
BIG SAFETY QUESTION!!! Are the caribeaners that are connecting the paraglider to the chair ALSO connected to your harness? THEY SHOULD BE! If your chair suffers a catostrophic failure, like if a weld breaks you want that paraglider to be hooked to your harness. Not the chair. Or at least to both. Of course it only matters if you get the thing off the ground. LOL
You do need some kind of exhaust outlet pipe even if it does not have a muffler. Otherwise, cold air will get into the combustion chamber and warp the valves. I would estimate that you should have at least a 12 inch exhaust pipe. You can make it with a sharp bend so that it does not hit the prop.
@@JonasMarcinko I figured that you would, and that you would use your Lithuanian ingenuity to accomplish the task. I am Lithuanian myself and I come from the Pavilionis family from Taurage. Actually, I am going to be a grandfather in May and if it is a boy, my daughter is planning to name him Jonas to preserve our Lithuanian heritage.
Those motors start to make ok power with a cam and better rod/flywheel, plus stiffer valve springs to prevent float. 3x stock power is doable. That combined with a better prop might make that thing flyable.
Thats a funky sounding engine. I was expecting to see a nerd running by, maybe a fox wearing socks. Even a south going Sax would not look out of place.
Dang! Sitting in a garage near Boise is an entirely unused Fly Products Solo 210 paramotor and trike that were purchased new about 15 years ago. Next time I head up that way to do some skiing at Bogus, I really ought to fetch it. It's not the latest thing in paramotoring but it has a large prop for high elevations and a proper PSRU. It's certain to work better than a Harbor Freight special.
Gave me a slight heart attack seeing you do a run up while holding the frame, that’s a very fast way to loose some finger or even worse. Whenever the motors on it should be on your back, I’ve seen far too many videos of small mistakes leading to very bloody endings. Please get proper training if you plan on flying in the future, this video was very scary to watch and unsafe on many levels.
You did it, but it was not enough power from the engine, although you could show that with that little force you would be able to take off. Congratulations, if you start making another one and with a little more power, you would surely fly well. I would use a slightly more solid frame and a minimum 15 hp motor.
That engine at idle without the muffler sounds like a Lawrence Welk bubble pooping at high speed. I hated to see the cord get tangled but it stopped something that should have stopped earlier. All good fun! No humans were injured while making this video! LMAO!
They make a 3/4 keyed shaft hub for go carts and such. I used one, but I wouldn’t suggest doing that. Mine broke the hub bolts. This motor really needs a reduction drive. I think a 2:1 would be close for a normal size paramotor prop
@@JonasMarcinko Thanks very much for the info. Someone on my FB group mentioned this video with a link and I found it very interesting! I am determined to fly a plane like the english electric wren, using this motor. They flew on 3 hp Henderson motorcycle motors and flew well on 43 feet of wingspan back in the early twenties.
@@abundantYOUniverse that’s great! good luck!! Definitely look into building a reduction drive. either belt ,chain or gearbox. The torque from the motor is too much to swing a propeller.
@@JonasMarcinko Thanks very much. You have the same obsession as me. I designed the Affordaplane way back when. Still going strong so I get to help people all over the world build an airplane and fly in it. I will keep you updated on what I come up with if you are interested thanks blue skies!
if u have flown on the wing b4, the problem is not with the wing. u need a bigger prop and a different motor that can turn the prop at higher rpms. u have insufficient thrust. MAYBE not enough wind either. but id be forever more concerned about getting those lines tangled in that puny little prop. it might also be that the prop lacks the right geometry for thrust.
maybe you should get a fifteen horsepower engine or bigger and put it on a 3 wheel cart and sit down all the time. I cant run anymore but I still want to fly. yours is the first homemade one I've ever seen, so cool man.

maybe you should get a fifteen horsepower engine or bigger and put it on a 3 wheel cart and sit down all the time. I cant run anymore but I still want to fly. yours is the first homemade one I've ever seen, so cool man.
Silvija has a unique way of saying what!
I applaud you for not being afraid to have a go at things.. But please don't kill yourself...
I was ready for that pex to give in ! Awesome try tho
Put some skies on it and use it on the ice and snow.
Hmmmmm! Ever try jumping from roof with umbrella?
Oh ship is in order for that one lol... innovative attempt for sure.
I would expect nothing less (or more?) from Jonas...
