Wow! That’s an impressive launch. Too bad you don’t have just a little more room there. Wonder if you could build a huge deck from that flat area out toward the drop off and give yourself a little more room?
Fantastic. The timelapse video was so cool, looked like you could reach up and touch the clouds and then they landed on you. And your perseverance paid off, you took off from your house! Love your house.
Wow what a challenge! Way to go! I have a mountain next to my house but haven't found a good launch (yet) and that's my idea, motor to get away from the hill and for back up when landing, which isn't sorted yet either ha ha! We're all so crazy with this sport it's so cool!
That took some nutz! Im out here in the NW NC mountains as well. Last ridgeline launch I tried, cost me some frame parts and a prop. It may be a few more seasons before I get bold again.... Not much for open areas as you head NW towards the state line, thats for sure.
Cobra launch or lay the wing on the batter and pull it up form there.. how’s the buzz z5 setup for paramotoring? Do you have different risers or something
What a damn adventure! So cool man. These are the kind of views I need in my life and why I’ll be getting the hell out of the Charlotte area and going into the mountains soon
Very cool video... how much property do you have? Is there an option to dig out some of that hill behind you and fill where it drops off? Pretty big undertaking I'm sure! Impressive launch!
Mark I think your house is above mine? I live off of Monte Vista road on the west side of town. Those cell towers are just north of me. I can see those towers and the Spivey Mtn towers. I live at the bottom of that long ridge.
So you got out of the Army and moved where? Mountains of TN where I hope to retire too, probably this year? I'm looking for a property like where you are living. Know of any good deals in your area?
Moved to Asheville. Depends on your budget. Not cheap out here in Asheville. My dad sent me this one recently. Has more land and about the same altitude. You can watch sunset, sunrise, launch NW and NE. Pretty sweet. Unfortunately looks setup for half ownership for Airbnb maybe? Still cool. www.zillow.com/myzillow/favorites#5590648
Don't do it... everyone who moves here, makes it more crowded. I'd suggest the TN side tho, and stay FAR away from Asheville. Trust me, you dont want to be near that town, specially to retire in.
I’m almost thinking… get rid of the cedar tree in front of the tower.. that would be a better place to catch wind AND give you a touch more pucker factor to the trees.
Any idea of the health effects of flying next to those microwave towers? We have them too, sprouting up everywhere. Thinking about getting a meter to measure microwaves. Another suggestion was to carry popcorn - If it pops then it’s probably not safe!
Next thing this guy does: -great wing for sale, no rips/tears, always been taken care of it, never took of from my house witch is on the side of a freakin hill
Why didn't you lay your wing out above the cutting on your driveway, where the video shows it would be in the wind? You could have still stood on your driveway, by the looks of things. I of course have never actually been to your house, so maybe there is a good reason not to that I cant' see.
Hey homeless person, what did you do with Mark!? hahaha That was an intense launch man, talk about persistance! Are you guys heading to Salton Sea or AZ Flying Circus this year?
Need to get a launch deck built off the hill. Few guys some wood and a good weekend. Then maybe a chainsaw for those trees
would hate to kill trees just to put in a deck
Man that time lapse was awesome! Nice launch

Always love your content and the adventures. Thank you for every upload. Great takeoff from the home lot!!!
Next we want to see you land up there ;)

man, that's crazy, a lot of risks in this takeoff... good and safe flights

Livin’ The Dream‼️
Glad to see a new video!

Mark,
Beautiful home location, nearly paramotor take off. Well done you !
Bet his first thoughts when he got the house was "wonder if I can launch from here"
You need a FLPHG! Thanks for posting
You had to be exhausted, that’s a huge amount of energy and determination. Major kudos!
That snatch and grab was sketchier than the launch ! Glad you got some!
Missed you guys.... Hope you had a lovely Christmas 🎄 😊
That's my favorite kind of physical exercise! Maybe an assisted cobra would be the go to for future attempts?
Absolutely. Set it on the edge of the hill to catch the wind
Happy holidays u two
I was waiting for this takeoff video mark. Cool
So cool, I often think about what it be like to fly off the mnt.
I’m right off kanuga rd, right up beyond “tatter rock”
Just hiked up to tater rock the other day. Definitely not a good rock to fly off 😅. I've been hiking up there for over 15 years . Such a great view
what a great comeback Mark, after very long time. good to see that wing inflate finally after several tries. great video
Thanks!

Where there's a will there's a way. Good going!
That’s a sketchy launch but beautiful when you’re up there… time to find a better place to land (haha)
I know. Need to talk to the neighbors down there.
What an adventure!!
It looks like a nice place to fly if you had a nice take off zone.
That landing was nuts.
Great job !
Very cool video... how much property do you have? Is there an option to dig out some of that hill behind you and fill where it drops off? Pretty big undertaking I'm sure! Impressive launch!
1.3 acres. Yes I could do that. Just a lot of work for a place you can't land at
Thats epic. Tricky launch on the homespot. Really enjoy to watch. 👍
Thanks!
Glad to see your flight. Where is Alayna?
Probably work that day. Sometimes she helps lay out my wing on the attempts
'A' for effort on that launch!

Nice video!! Hey I have the Buzz 4 what size is your buzz 5? I’m 23.5 m! Looks almost the same
MS 25.8
Wow I was getting winded just watching!
Awesome 70's styles going on there!
How much room is ther to run down your drive?
I know it looks tight.
I've tried it. I tore my gin falcon doing that because on inflation it spread out onto the hillside and there was a stump it snagged
Risky AF. Dig it.
Man what a launch! Impressive skills bud👍. Perseverance paid off😎. NC Mountains?
Okay, where do you put down, if you have an engine out over the trees?
The trees
@@MarkHuneycutt Yup! I've been tempted to stow a bunch of rope for exactly when that happens. You first :)
What strobe are you utilizing in this video?
Hunter Strobe
Hell yeah, nice job
Thanks man!
Hey bro I see you’re using the media mod! same here👍 how are you going about recording audio through your videos with it? Cheers
I have it plugged directly into my microavionics headset
Haha, great video. Hope ya'll are doing well!
Doing well thanks. Hope you are too
Good content!
Where do you live? Is that West Virginia?
Western North Carolina
So you got out of the Army and moved where? Mountains of TN where I hope to retire too, probably this year? I'm looking for a property like where you are living. Know of any good deals in your area?

I've thought about it but it blocks those ugly towers from view
Yeah but!!!!! It gives you better air to pull up into and a longer pucker factor to the trees…
Bit of c4 takes care of the towers lol

That's fuckin cool 😎
Why did you move from Louisiana?
Where’s woody??? I need a mark and woody flying adventure.
Why not put your wing higher up on the hill?
On the driveway it's too big. The hill has snags and leaves you with no room if you're standing up there
Mark, Next time choose a property with a bit of land as well as a view. Hahahahaha 😜
dude - you've probably heard this before: but you look like Matthew Mcconaughey. Anyway, which state is this and whereabout?
Next thing this guy does:
-great wing for sale, no rips/tears, always been taken care of it, never took of from my house witch is on the side of a freakin hill
Wife leaves the house for one day...
You can do it lol
Hey Mark
hi
😃👌👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is me now. Judson just asked us about those. We might try to get out there
Stupid, unnecessary risk.
Whatever you say Stanley
