    Jonas, I’m glad you did a review of this paraglider. This company is owned by a longtime friend’s son who I’ve followed over the years on the prototypes. It didn’t dawn on me he’d started shipping these out until I went to their site and recognized him and his VW with Ohio plates in their UA-cam video. Enjoy the paraglider. Paul’s engineering skills are extremely high.

    I've got the same machine, have had it for about 6 months. I really like it. I've got a monster 185 on a parajet as well, they serve different purposes. There's nothing better than a cruise to watch the sunset on the electric. It's so nice and smooth! Enjoy! I haven't left sport mode, I'll have to try the chill mode sometime. I love the amount of power it has. It does tend to taper off toward the lower percentage of battery so keep that in mind.

BTW, motorcycle helmets with Sena headsets, their boom mikes and the shared rider feature would work great air-to-ground plus for your recordings--on motorcycles, from 0-75+mph, everyone told me that I sounded right next to them with no wind noise or anything.....

    Get some sena bluetooth headsets so you can talk to each other while you’re flying. We were using them for short hauling on and around powerlines. They were made for bikers I think and work great around motors like bikes and helicopters and probably paramotors. They go on helmets easily too. Seems like that rig should have a remote control for drone/instruction mode or something.

    Nice!! I could SEE the torque that thing's got in the form of your climb rate! Pretty impressive! Will be great to climb high, then go off throttle for total SILENCE as you glide down. I'm too nervous to shut mine down in the air, even though I have E-start. My luck the battery will crap out (It runs my strobe, too), and I won't be able to get it started again, lol. It always starts, but I just don't feel comfortable shutting it off up there! I also just replaced the starter last week! The Bendix failed, and I couldn't separate the halves to attempt a fix. That made me mad! It would throw out and crank for about a second, then retract and spin to 10k RPM, lol. They must've used industrial Loctite on the gasket surfaces of those halves!!
    Was cool to see this in my notification list when I got home. Just flew tonight with my buddy. Another friend was there, and he got some AMAZING pics of us taking off into the sun. They came out great! I've got to throw a video together with all the footage, but have been super busy lately (Not a bad thing in this economy). Last time I tried to fly, I climbed for about 20 seconds and ended up in the soup! Didn't realize the ceiling was that low. Was perfect tonight - buttery smooth!! 😎 Can't wait to see this one in future vids, and also Silvija's kiting! That's great! Would be really sweeeeeet to see the both of you flying together some time in the future! 👍😎👍

    @kevinsellsit5584 Рік тому +1

    Super cool! The power will amaze you. The importance of "cruise control" is not an option with electric ... It is required.
    With gas, a varity of throttle positions can result in the same engine (prop) RPM depending on load. With the electric, throttle position will always result in the same RPM almost instantly. Lifting throttle is braking ... but tuneable in the controller. My guess is freewheeling is set to max to reduce engine braking.
    Everyone will want one.

    Great to see you flying again. However, I really would argue that you need to acquire and use a wind sock on your personal airport. Light winds can change direction in an hour. Several times in the past I have seen you attempt down wind landings and have problems. While that maybe ok with RC, it is not when you are in the aircraft!
    I have about 150 tows in gliders, 100 hours in ultralights. Confirming the wind direction should be part of a landing checklist!

I'm not sure if it's viable, but the plan is I'm going to paraglide like normal (except not in the middle of the day) and use this with the smaller battery to help keep me in the air. Basically, this thing will be my substitute for thermals.

    Well, you got up in the sky and in the air, but we are really looking forward to more taildragger flying. How is the Capella coming alone? How is the cub-killer plane also coming along? I come up I-15 to points north of you occasionally on business. You open to visitors? I'm building a taildragger and a tricycle retract. Love to meet you guys some time. You two planning on offspring? Little Marcinko pilots?

    Now that's cool! The electric motor is the only way to go.

    They got a kit to upgrade a Zenith to electric?

    Maybe that's what I should adapt to my hang glider. I've been wanting to put an electric motor on it for a while.

      I’m sure the OpenPPG guys would help you out.

    Do a balance check on the prop. It sounds out of balance.
