After trying several paramotors, I realized that the important thing is to have a good canopy. First I tried with a kite like yours and nothing, then with the old hobbyking paramotor and it was impossible to fly it, and then I bought the new one, the blue one, and no matter what I did it flew perfectly. It handles very well and you can even do some acrobatics.
I believe you need to shorten the strings (or Lever Arm). Please do a follow-up. Only change One (1) variable at a time - to judge that variables change on the system.
Just picturing a paramotor in my head, they always have their motors behind the Cg. That makes me think you'd likely have more success with a pusher configuration.
@@CaptainJohn Yes, copy the proportions of an "existing" design, then later vary the other parameters ONE (1) at a time to measure performance. For the parachute, don't cut the cords, but rather use "slip knots" to shorten the lengths temporarily. ==> It is time you start keeping NOTEBOOKS to measure your TRIALS plus having some DESIGN NOTEBOOKS too. Make sure each entry is DATED.
@@CaptainJohn lmk if you ever wanna call while you build or something, I’d love to talk again cus you are a cool dude fr, I got a crazy jet I’ve been makin and low key wanna show u fr

Interesting, I’ll have to look into that. Thank you for the comment and information!
I agree. That canopy is the problem and currently preventing forward movement.

Good work!! I love it!!
Thank you!
Nice broo!
Thanks!!!
Nice
Thank you!

Thank you for the comment! That was actually something I was considering trying, like one of those two seat paramotors with landing gear.
Happy Thanksgiving, Captain. It seems to keep pitching up in the first trials. The LEVER ARM DISTANCE is another variable too.
Agreed, I might shorten the lines to see what happens. Maybe the parachute will work better I’m not sure

Would a 3rd anchor point for the parasail on the tail fin help with the stability? (Triangles)
Also, love the FBD break in the middle 😂
That’s a good idea! And yes we love FBDs
Ay good job, this is hard to do lol
Thank you!!
i see you growing, miss you on SP my boy much love
Thanks!
I miss SP and all you awesome people too, I should play sometime

that would be fun, do you have my discord?
@@CaptainJohn diloph
Oh my goodness I remember you I forgot your UA-cam name!! Yes we gotta talk sometime maybe this weekend?
:31 the mass of servos should NOT be located aft-of the cg/c-m.!!! doing so STOOPIDLY makes the tail HEAVIER.!
