  • That is incredible. How far can you go on a tank of fuel?

  • @ethanclassic I've gone up to 280 miles with the Flat Top. With the weight of the S-Trike it wouldn't likely be quite as far.

  • Why don't you show us the machine???

  • @13c11a Just look at all our other 344 videos:)

  • and no Hyabusa or Kawasaki Ninja engines in it lolz 

  • @Emo666Cali No this engines are far too heavy for the power they produce. The Ninja powerplant weighs only 25 lbs but puts out about 30 hp. That is some serious power to weight ratio. Plus the paraglider is sooo efficient we can literally fly on only 4 hp so we don't need the huge heavy engines that other aircraft do. Still with only about 30 hp though we can carry 700 lbs!! It is quite incredible for power to weight ratio.

  • @imasuper0308 What is the maximum altitude( not that I would want to attain in, in fact, I think I would enjoy lower altitudes more) just out of curiosity? Also, do you have any knowledge of this being available in Canada and does your company do business in or with Canada? Thanks!

  • @HelpfulHow2s This will fly over 18,000 ft.  Yes we ship to Canada all the time no problem. Feel free to call if you like. Dell 800-707-2525

  • @imasuper0308 Can this use a bigger engine like a turbo-charge rotax 914? I would like to be able to fly around my local Kilimanjaro Mountain range, but I will need to fly above 10,000 metres.

  • @EasternMerchant It can already fly that high without modification.  The 914 doesn't have as good of a power to weight ratio as the motor we already use.

  • @imasuper0308 Canada? LOL, how about Russia :D?

  • Imagine a small plane flying through that same cloud

    coming from a different direction. Looks like the pilot

    attempted to land on the ridge road in the beginning

    but could not because of wind. You have to think about

    running out of fuel, wind shear, sudden storms, etc.

    And what if the engine just dies all of a sudden?

  • @GooglFascists Small planes can't legally fly at those low altitudes and also need to stay clear of clouds just as this pilot is doing. So no the small planes would not be any danger to you unless they were breaking the rules. No the pilot didn't attempt to land, it is just extremely fun to fly low. Look at other videos as there are quite a few of them landing in that same spot. Running out of fuel is not an issue for an aircraft that can land at almost a complete stop anywhere.

  • @GooglFascists There is no such thing as a "sudden storm". Thunderstorms take hours and hours to build and are blatantly obvious. Zero people have ever died or even been injured in this aircraft to date. It is incredibly safe. Much much safer than things like skiing, biking, motorcycles, ATVs, cars, hair dryers...  People often fear the unknown. The more you learn about this aircraft the more you will understand and appreciate how ridiculously safe it is. Zero injuries or deaths to date.

  • @imasuper0308 it is true...pp thinks that cuz u r flying it is dangerous but there isn`t anything safer to fly than this...

    PS: i would love to see a diferent camera angle so we can see the "aircraft" in fact.

  • Would like to know more. I am very interested. would like to drive one , although this was driving in fake clouds. I am an ex skydiver - didn't look like that up there. Tania

  • @Renovartio1000 lol those are definitely not fake clouds. That camera mount is so stable though it almost looks like a blue screen background sometime. It is indeed real though and seriously fun. For more info just call 800-707-2525 in the USA or 801-631-1731 globally.

  • awesome

  • That looks like great fun and not too difficult to tackle! Are these available in Europe too?

  • What range does this do? Like how far can you fly before refilling the gas tank?

  • Looks amazing but how safe is it?

  • @themixedarts Flying a Flat-Top Powered Paraglider is actually the safest way to own a personal aircraft! If the engine stops, you glide down. If the main chute goes out, you have a backup chute. If you were in a fixed-wing plane or Ultralight Aircraft and the engine goes out, you are in a lot of trouble. Flat-Tops are built so well that you won't have to worry about malfunctions. No one has EVER died flying my gear. I can't say that for the other brands out there though. 800-707-2525

  • So if I screw some plexiglass on there will it fly the same? Or will it be some crazy experimental plane?

  • @Danielkchoi It's been done. I assume you mean to cut down on the wind. These machines don't go as fast as a plane, so the wind you do feel is actually relaxing.

  • @imasuper0308 :D I'm buying this when I get some training, and a lot of spare change.

  • @Danielkchoi Right on! It will be a life-changer for you and it's such a blast! Let's get you training ASAP! The summer isn't over yet. 800-707-2525

  • put this song at backgrond Digital Mystikz - Livin Different

  • @imasuper0308 where's that?

  • @mfife11 AWESOME! It's such a total life-changing rush! Let's get you some lessons or take you on a flight.  Give me a call. We travel all over the world doing lessons, so I'm sure we can work something out! I look forward to your call. 800-707-2525

  • That looks like a ton of fun!!!

  • @onslaught908 It isn't as fun as it looks.... IT'S WAY BETTER!!! If you want us to take you up sometime, or want some lessons, give us a call. We travel all over the world training people. 800-707-2525

  • so its' highway and street legal too? and approved by US regulators and stuff? Do you need some kind of special license? Is the seat seriously shock absorbent so if you run out of gas in air, you can land without serious injury? Does it seat more than one person?

  • @stocktradinginvestor Excellent questions my friend! Paramotoring is a NON-LICENSED SPORT! That means you don't have to get a sports pilot license. You just take some lessons and start flying! There are FAA regulations that prevent you from flying over certain areas like highways and populated areas. The landings, with proper training, are very gentle. We have machines that take up over 500 pounds, so 2 people is no problem. Call me and we can set something up! 800-707-2525

  • dang, any chance you good lower the price to about 15 bucks?

  • @Haygan9799 Shoot! We just had a 14.99 special you missed last week! LOL! I know these toys aren't super-cheap, but they are the least-expensive personal flying machine out there. I have used ones that come through for a lot less than new ones - it just depends on inventory. Don't let a few bucks keep you from dreaming big my friend! Call me if you ever have questions: 800-707-2525

  • @imasuper0308 haha! thanks, i dont think ill have that much money for a while :) this things sick though dude! love it!

  • @Haygan9799 No worries! We aren't going anywhere, so call when you are ready to begin your adventure! Thanks for the excellent comments, and please keep in touch! Tons more vids to come.

  • @imasuper0308 haha thanks! subscribed 4 sure ;)

  • @Haygan9799 Right on! I just sent a friend request and subscribed to your channel to return the favor! If you ever want to touch the sky with us, just call. We travel all over the States training people and taking them up. Take care, and keep in touch! 800-707-2525

  • @imasuper0308 you know, i probably should have mentioned this but im only 12, but who cares! ill definetly try to be successful and get one of these!

  • @Haygan9799 There is a video we posted recently of a 13 year old boy breaking a world record in Paramotoring! Share the video with your family, and once you have their support, let's get you some lessons! Here is our companie's number: 800-707-2525. Thanks for the GREAT comment, and I hope you are having a rockin' summer!

  • @imasuper0308 you too! and sorry to keep this convo going for so long but i live in TX, so i dont think ill be getting lesons :(

  • @Haygan9799 Tell you what..... Get a group of friends together who want lessons and we can work something out. I depends on how bad you want it! I travel all over the States training students, and give group discounts. Just let me know when you have a few people that are into it! Let's go flying!!! 800-707-2525

  • @imasuper0308 haha! thank you so much for your help, i have the number saved and if im looking for lessons etc. ill definetly call.

  • @Haygan9799 Rock on! I look forward to flying next to you someday! Just call when you are ready my friend and please keep in touch. We just uploaded an AWESOME new video - check it out!

  • Looks fake

  • @Bestjamesbond LOL! It's amazing how many people say that because it's not common to see a machine like this. I assure you this is very real! You should take a lesson so you can do it too!

  • @imasuper0308 i will agree with that not something you see ever day lol

  • @Bestjamesbond Right on!  You have to come see it for yourself by taking a ride in one! Give me a call and we can set it up. 800-707-2525

  • @imasuper0308 every*

  • Looks and sounds like a vehicle you could use in the Half-Life series

  • @ZavorXS LOL!

  • LO VOGLIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOO

    in english: I WANT ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTT

  • serious question: are there the legally required beacon, strobe and taxi/langing lights? also, at least al altimeter as a gauge, or are there no gauges? Are the connecting bolts and nuts class 8 or higher rated for load?

  • @smackythefrog23 I know this is like 2 months late, but I just now stumbled upon this, and I didn't see any replies to this comment.

    It isn't legally required to have any of that stuff; it isn't a plane or helicopter. It is mainly a giant fan/paramotor and a parachute. The trike (the thing you sit in that has wheels) is nothing like a car or go-kart. It's closer to a shopping kart or wagon, or wheel chair/stroller. Pretty much a tricycle with no handle bars.

  • thats crazy man

  • what do you do when you run out of gas

  • @bcmrcool

    you glide...

  • @FrostbitexP LOL

  • @bcmrcool

    he will do a dance

  • any place to get it in iowa or illoins

  • @billymays1325 Yes no problem, just give us a call anytime at 800-707-2525.  It's seriously fun man!!

  • I'm disabled due to spinal surgery gone bad.I was an avid SCUBA diver,Skydiver, mountain biker and sailor.I came to accept the rest of my life would consist of sitting in a recliner getting all my excitement from X-Game reruns.That's til I talked to Dell Sanchez(iamsuper0380)who has set up a training course for disabled folks like me.I just ordered a S-Trike,Flat Top200 and a custom K2 wing.I may hobble around with a cane here on earth.But I'll be soaring with eagles in the sky.Thanks Dell.

  • i want one

  • Where did you film?!? It's beautiful! I bet if you found a way to strap the camera to the nose without any obstructions, you could make an awesome film! Good luck and great flying!

  • can we see what it looks like

  • I have noticed something that makes me question weather or not this video is real. In flight on ether side of the foot controls are straps similar to shoulder straps on a back pack. At that speed I think those would violently flap around from the air resistance. Otherwise everything looks perfectly real. Any thoughts?

  • how do u get down

  • fly to space

  • 1:09 holy hell thats cool above the clouds! and even the sound is amazing

  • 1:09 holy hell thats cool above the clouds!

  • 15000 is not pretty much

  • this looks pretty fast!

  • OMG that is soo cool!!! =O

  • Hahaha I wonder what your neighbors think, see a flying car coming in for a landing...."Oh, that's just Dell"

    Man you live the life i wanna live, you have the best job in the world. I'm jealous.

  • Where can I get one in Canada. Seriously... ??????? :D

  • @moviemaestro1 We are the Canadian distributor. Just give me a call anytime at 801-631-1731 and I can fix you up. It is seriously fun stuff!!

  • how long does it take to learn how to fly

  • @gumbo905 At least a week generally if you have a world class instructor.

  • WOW! That looks fun! Do you know any place in Los Angeles, CA where I could rent a powered paraglider and they would have a trainer train me to fly it for a day because that would be an awesome 15th birthday present!

  • @TheGrantBlagden I'm on Seal Beach all this week.  $100 for a tandem flight you will never forget:). Dell 800-707-2525

  • If you had an engine failure over those clouds, you would be in IMC which I would think would be extremely dangerous and not very legal.

  • @dvprodotcom Nope there were no issues or concerns on either of those points. The aircraft in that video can fly as slow as 12mph and has a glide ratio over 10:1. A motor out just isn't a safety concern at all.

  • awsome u should teach people how to make it dent fly it to...really kool

    \

  • FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ok so this is an ultra light weight aircraft right so that means no regulations???? so me a 14 year old (i have passed an faa exam fr single engine aircraft) can fly this right? because my dad has one that we dont use

  • @ihazdata Yes that is correct fine sir. You don't need any license of any sort. If you come get some training you can fly this setup no problem at all. Fun stuff!!

  • it would be nice if we could see what it looks like...do you have another videos showing it?

  • @odmcarp Yes there are tons of videos. Just click on my user name and it will take you to my channel with over 200 videos:). Call me anytime if you have any questions. Dell 800-707-2525

  • Flying above the clouds, man that was beautiful. What altitude were you? Scared the crap out of me not seeing the ground. But then again that's probably a good thing.

  • What part of the country is this? It is beautiful there.

  • do you need to take lessons? are any provided?

  • @Biohazard4349 Yes you do need training for sure and yes we can provide that for you no problem at all. This is freaking fun man, the coolest thing I've ever done for sure and I've done all sorts of wild & crazy things. If you are serious just give me a call if you like and I can tell you all about it. Dell 800-707-2525

  • and noone has been injured or killed but im sure some ppl get lost

  • can u still be 16 to drive that or wat

  • @chaingangpatriot No age limit, no license required:).

  • can u by it internationally

  • @hazzaza1 Yes no problem at all.

  • Such a beautiful view!!! I can't believe you replied to that cocain comment; LMAO. 

  • which height can you reach with that thing?

  • @lucassandro It will fly up to 18,000 ft so you can fly over any mountian in the USA. Very very slick unit.

  • @imasuper0308 so if the engine dies, u can just glide into a landing? such a sweet aircraft! so do u need a pilots license and all of that stuff?? amazing!

  • @boxa888 Yes this aircraft will glide quite well so no problem if the motor fails. No pilots license at all, this is an ultralight so you don't need anything. Just go fly.

  • @imasuper0308 wow thanks for the quick reply! thats sweet! even in all 50 states u dont have to have one, man that would be so much fun bringing it to the beach and taking off! i am so impressed!

  • @boxa888 Yes that's correct, anywhere in the US. Most other countries are the same way. Very simple and easy.

  • if it can carry 500lb that a lotta cocaine serious i need that thing! 14.995 is like childsplay when you smuggle la cocaine!

  • @DoggedCyprez Yes it would work extremely well for that as you can fly 3 feet off the ground well below radar and then pack the thing up in a waiting truck and drive away.

  • What wind restrictions are there in the trike configuration?

  • @staplegunnr 0-10 is best but you can fly in up to 30mph winds once you gain experience.

  • That is so cool it's unbelievable! XD

  • how far can it fly and how much can it lift?

  • @TheSonOfLibertys1776 The S-Trike can easily go 100 miles and with the right configuration it has gone 280. It can carry up to 500 lbs.

  • the pedals on your feet it's to control some kind of rudder?

  • @joaocarlosmoraisrama No the pedals on the feet are just to control the front wheel and the rear brakes. You can see the toe steering but can't really see the heal brakes that individually control the rear wheels. The S-Trike is also so perfectly balanced though that once you get the glider up the trike will totally follow what you tell the glider to do so you really don't have to pay much attention to the foot controls once the glider is up. Very very sweet setup.

  • how high and fast can this go??

  • 18,000 ft and up to 50mph in air. Very slick little unit!

  • cool but does it use fuel or wat?

  • Just premium pump gas. Very simple.

  • the coolest thing i have ever seen, is there a wing or a parachute thing

  • @tikkiomggosh yes there is a paraglider over my head that gets a 10.1:1 glide ratio making this aircraft extremely efficient. I'm gone 280 miles on 4 gallons before. Very cool!

  • oh wow, that is so cool, i want one bad lol

  • so is it possible to fly over to another state or even country with it if u had enough fuel plz reply

  • Yes no problem at all.  That's what it is for.

  • So will this fly faster than a car? (If the altitude is high enough?)

  • 50mph is the top speed right now in air. Straight line without stoplights that is waaaay faster than a car.

  • where is this beautiful place on earth you are flying?

  • This is in Utah by Utah Lake.

  • what is the max time you can fly before you run out of gas?

  • 3-6 hours run time.

  • omg dude you went to such high altittudes!! incredible n really dangerous stunt man as ders less oxygen n probably freezin cold too lmao

  • I want one of these so much. How old do you have to be to fly/drive one? Also, are there and 2 seater Para planes? Are these legal in Florida? Thank you for whoever helps.

  • No age limit, no license required man. Yes this is a 2 seater in the video. Yes they are legal everywhere. Message me directly if you have any questions or anything or give me a call anytime at 800-707-2525. This is some fun stuff!!! Sooo cool!!! You totally have to try it.

  • I can't wait to try it. If I had all the money in the world, I would spend it all on these! And you replied so fast. We will call you guys tomorrow or Tuesday to see how I can start. I really can't wait to even see one. I mean, I have wanted something that can fly that is not only portable, but efficient and VERY cheap! This is it! By the way, do you guys by any chance offer actual Glider custom print on it?

    For example: say I wanted it to say a private company name across it, is it possible?

  • Ok I'll look forward to talking with you. Yes we can do all sorts of cool custom logos on the glider no problem.

  • @imasuper0308 hey what is the age limit cuz i am 18 and is it legal in europe?thx

  • No age limite and no license required in the USA. Not sure on Europe though but I know it depends on where exactly you are.

  • @imasuper0308 well i am from Romania.

  • Don't know for that area, you could check with your local airport though. I'm sure they would know.

  • Dell, what is the average "life" of your paramotors in hours? Is it more than 1000?

  • The average is 500-1500 depending on how you use it.

  • This is amazing and beautiful camera view! Much better than any PC flight simulator. Dell, please, make more videos with S-trike and this camera view.

    Can you also make a video which shows all the detailes of "tandem version" of the S-trike (where is the seat for passenger etc.)? The XCitor trike from Fresh Breeze looks good too but your trike/paramotor is definitely more versatile.

  • auto gyro..a friend of mine..has one and i flew with him a lot...very nice

  • So one question, is the 14,995 for the whole package deal, wing, trike, and motor? Does the package come with reserve, luggage compartment and helmet?  just wanted to know because I'm gonna start saving..

  • Yes that is for S-Trike, motor, glider and reserve parachute. Add just a tad more for a cool helmet and the luggage bag. Pretty dang cheap for a seriously cool aircraft. That's 3 different aircraft in one.

  • couple of questions

    first of all, love your videos. Freaking hilarious, especially the one wear you drive it home.

    What kind of regulations do you have to deal with when flying this? Must you avoid residential areas?

    and

    Can you adapt the S-trike to work with a fixed glider wing?

  • Thanks, I'm glad you like them. It is seriously fun. We can't fly over a congested area, so if your engine falls off it better not harm or endanger anyone. You can fly over a city as long as you follow this rule and keep to open fields & wooded areas. It isn't that hard, when you see things from the air or look at google earth you can see that you can fly many places you wouldn't think you could. Yes the S-Trike can be used with a fixed wing. 800-707-2525 Dell

  • Extremely top flying activities and very clear moving pictures too. What kind of camera did you use? Merry greetings from your greatest fan.

  • That is the Sony HDR-HC3 and a special mounting system I developed that absorbs the vibration so you get clear video. Works awesome.

  • Molto THC for your swift reply.

  • WOW Incredible

  • Классс !!!! Такого качественного видео я еще не видел. Супер!!!

  • I can get enuough of these vids. So when we going on a tandem flight? I will put on a diaper just in case.

  • It's fun stuff man, I got some more flying in today on 2 different units. Pretty slick.

  • Cool man to much fun!! Lets see some of the east side of the lake? Now that's a peak to fly! Or is the wind to bad?

  • No it is awesome over there. I fly up over the top of Timp quite often. I need some video of it, that would be slick.

  • WOW this video is awesome!!!!

    BTW , still using my super mini circa 2004

  • that would b scary as hell this is amazing

  • Naw tons of fun but not scary. Just a total blast!!

  • how fast does this goes ?

  • 50mph top speed

  • this is cool... is there altimeter on this and ecc.?

  • We can carry guages if we want but ecc isn't important as it is a fixed prop so you can't screw it up. Hold it full throttle all day if you like. No worries.

  • yeah but i mean you can be in danger...

    just watch the video... the man is driving above clouds...

    and what would happen if you run on to hill or mountain... you would crash... thats why you need atleast altimeter...

  • Nope that's another beauty of this aircraft. You can turn around in the same space a car can turn. So even if you only have 50-75 ft visibility you can still do a 180 before you hit something. VERY maneuverable. We don't blindly fly in clouds though, we always know where we are, what's below us and what our altitude is. Not scary as you might think. Darn fun!!!

  • wow, where did u film this?

  • That is the west side of Utah Lake in Utah.

  • Its not really hard to use if its like flying a parachute. Most people can control one on the first sky diving jump. That is tons of fun, can imagine how much fun this is. I bet you can feel the adrenaline far after when you are on the ground like after a sky dive. I sure will be looking to get one for spring. How is the range on yours imasuper0308?

  • Yes very simple to fly once in the air but it takes some skill to get off the ground cleanly so get really good training with a USHPA certified instructor. I set the US distance record at 280 miles on 4 gallons of gas. Pretty good distance. Sooo fun!!! It's a glider you are flying so once you get up you can shut off the motor and soar on thermals when you get good at it. Go from thermal to thermal with your motor off and you can go long time GI:).

  • What happens if the engine fails?

    Is there a chute or something?

    That is the only thing that scares me about this, other than that THIS THING ROCKS!!!!

  • We don't need an engine, we are flying a glider. The slowest aircraft in the world. So if the motor dies or falls off you just glide down and land wherever you like. If the motor dies while skimming the ground you flare and can land at almost a complete stop. When you first start to learn to fly this aircraft you will start with no motor at all and just fly it as a glider. Very cool, very safe.

  • Really? I had no idea. Can you tell im a novice at this?

    Regardless, that thing looks cool as hell!

  • Yes, also when you land you can stall the glider behind you and it becomes a huge drogue chute that stops you instantly. That's why this is about the only aircraft you can safely fly 1 ft off the ground. Sooo fun!!!! This is really flying, nothing else like it.
