      6:11min all the extra efforts you put in to cut the edges of famrers field... i think he should pay you for that. currency will be counted in new props. totally worth it. yeah nah jokes aside that was gnarly.
      now repeat with me: "i shall not foot drag on gravel again, i shall not foot drag on gravel again, i shall not foot drag on gravel again"
      every time before you fly do this mantra for extra prop endurance.

      🤣🤣🤣 yes I shall not foot drag on gravel again! The flight back was more narly! Thinking the end of my prop might or might not fall off any minute. Or the shaking might just do the reduction pulley bearing. But all's well that end well thankfully

      @@Parahooners yeah looks like you are super lucky. that prop was about to fail and cause more damage. nice work of checking yourself after prop strike and keep everything under control first. i would have panicked and probably sat it down right when both feets touched ground. glad you made it back while taking the risk. i know walking back with all gear sucks!
      what a nice crew you got there to fly. i am jelly. i can only fly alone here. there are others but me as beginner mixed with non trained lunatics going full risk all the time is just asking for disaster. if i see his happy dance at the end i almost cried. you are super lucky mate to have such buddies to fly. i hate to be alone here while paramotoring. 😅

      Flying with others is definitely what makes this hobby fun. It's been an absolute journey we've taken together aswel sharing little things that we have learned along the way. Motivating each other. Defo risk it for a biscuit and go fly with others.

    Great video, low flying with your mates is such a thrill. Shame about the prop, glad it got you back though. That dance... 😲

    Awesome I fly a Uni 1.1 red/orange 28 and a custom red Nuc 4 22 now, Nuc about the same efficiency and 30% more speed, landings are great!

    • @Parahooners

      Both great wings 🪽 - the Uni has been going for years 😎 proper work horse.. we often discuss the Nuc and how quick and efficient it is !!!

    I cheat with the Thor 202 140 prop engine, for launches and low flying, gets you up and out in a snap of the throttle. I have Thor tuning tips on my channel to be snappy 😁

    Good job it was a Helix, I swear by them. If that was an E-prop it would of been a very different story.

    • @Parahooners
      @Parahooners  Рік тому +1

      I reckon you're right. Much stronger wing. More thrust aswell. Contraversial but I much prefer them

    as a paramotor pilot and a farmer, it annoys me to see people foot dragging through expensive not only to plant and maintain crops,but also to harvest!!!! I implore you next time you are low fling over crops ie grain not to foot drag as you are clearly damaging them cheers

    • @Parahooners

      Thank you... Honestly being a lamen it wasn't clear to me it was damaging the crop. Have absolutely no intention to upset any farmers they have a tough enough job as it is. Shall avoid this in the future. Thanks for the heads up.
