    If you're interested in buying a Skymax Paramotor, make sure you use the code Huneycuttskymax on the Wisconsin Flight Sports website for a $200 discount. Let me know if you have any questions about this paramotor. Link below:

    Also check out the man, the myth, the legend, Chris Holbert's website predatorparamotor.com/
    His shirts are the sickest around and he let us borrow the tandem setup you see in the video. Thoroughly enjoyed the Gin Fuse and the Miniplane spreader bars from him.

    Damn serious couple goals! I’m literally saving and head deep in this hobby to hopefully one day be exactly like you two. I’m currently engaged and saving for a wedding but putting some money aside for this too. Moved from NJ to NC (Charlotte area) and , aside from my job, can’t stand the people. Planning on moving to your neck of the woods where people value real living like yourselves. Hopefully buying my wing this winter and motor next year. Going to train with Brook because I want to do most of my flying up in the mountains by you guys. Can’t wait for the journey to start. Awesome content as usual by you two

      Thanks. Glad to see you're getting into the sport. Brook is great. Full of energy and had a passion for the sport

    I went on a ride on a glider once, and the pilot found a cloud and circled under it. We were lifted up so high and so fast. I started getting sick to my stomach from the circling and when I told him, he wanted to get us landed fast. And we did lol. It was a fun adventure.

    I'm going to buy one too! Do I need to declare the route or apply to the Aviation Administration before departure? Or, we can fly directly, as long as it's not over a military base

      Airspace is one of the most important subjects you'll learn through paramotor instruction which I recommend getting. Here's a good start though:

    Could you please do a video on the life span of equipment. wing , harness, engine ect. also how to extend life. it hurts my feelings that if i spent 12 grand that my wing is unsafe after 5 years. I actually owned one of the first paraplanes in 1987. Nathan Taylor of paraplane corporation sold it to me in south NewJersey. It had two engines mounted together with counter rotating props that eliminated torque. each engine was 15 hp. the trike was foldable and it all fit in my honda civic. i didnt get much training . it was one hour when i picked it up new. when i think back it was crazy. had the old style wing and it climed 300 fpm some times less . only flew it 5 hrs and then i flipped it over on take off. wind shift. broke a prop and then i sold it. i live on long island new York so not condusive to flying these machines however i hear there is one guy who lives near the water that flies. would love to try my hand at it again

    est ce que c'est le parachute pour vous deux ?
    ou vous avez chaqu'un le votre ?
    pouvez vous m'éclairé a ce sujet car je voudrais faire du biplace mais je ne sais pas ou placer le secours ?
    encore merci et bon vols

    • @MarkHuneycutt
      @MarkHuneycutt  Рік тому

      We each had our own but it's smarter to have one large, properly sized tandem reserve that ideally connects to a second set of carabiners that will bring you down vertically. That way, if the 1st set of carabiners were to break/malfunction, your reserve is attached to another set.

    What happens if you catch a thermal?

    • @brutusbarnabus8098
      @brutusbarnabus8098 3 роки тому +1

      A thermal is a warm rising column of air. When you catch one you gain altitude.. If you notice in the video, when they found a thermal Mark would start circling to stay within the column of rising air until it dissipated.
