I love your educational videos, you are a great ambassador for the sport.
great video as well as first to comment
Great video, Thank you!
Thank you so much for the details
Thanks for all you do for the sport, you're a valued asset, I couldn't have built my frames without you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Glad to help
Great video! Can't wait for more!
True.
Thanks amazing tips. Do you have website that shows where can you fly and where cannot. Or must be above or less. Im in UK
The Bear Grylls Mt.Everest flight was a fake TV production.
I've been wanting to do this ever since I saw Tucker Gott. I want a Scout Carbon frame with a Vitorazi engine. Right now I'm currently over 225lbs so I can't do it.
225 lbs is not a problem. I am 200 and took tandem passengers
Besides the engine and the wing you might want to think about your lovely self at altitude. Normally there is quite a bit colder even at allowed altitude even in sommer, so you need to dress so well you look very funny on the ground. Also you might need some oxygen for the record flights.
Good video, but I don't think you answered the question of "how high can a paramotor rig fly" ?
Can I ask, do you require oxygen for yourself when flying above 10,000 feet?
Not at all. Flying is not much physical activity. As much as playing chess:-)
@@SCOUTaviation Thanks but don't we need oxygen above 10,000 feet? Isn't that why planes that fly above 10k feet require oxygen? How high do you have to be before you require oxygen, thanks for the answers, super interesting!
