  • Very good! Amazing!

  • dear Santa...

  • Hi! I love your video! And I want to fly too! can you please tell me where to train? Do you teach as well? where are you based?

    please reply soon as my holidays are coming soon : )

  • coool !!!

  • @SaschaRentel It isn't as cool as it looks.... IT'S WAY BETTER!!!! Thanks for the comment.

  • Wonderfull

  • @augustovalois1 Thanks for the comment! Have you seen our "Enter for a chance to win a Flat-Top Paramotor Contest?" Visit our websites to enter! We are also giving away Super-Elite Lesson packages and discounts on gear! WOW!

  • @imasuper0308 At 0:08 seconds he says "If you can walk ." I can understand being able to walk is a pre-requisit for foot launching but I believe a disabled person who has difficulty walking can be taught to fly the S-Trike. How about offering a discount for training to the disabled (especialy veterans) who want to fly.You could be the FIRST in the PPG community to open up a new world for the disabled.Think of the great PR man !

  • @nerblebun Hi there! This is Rob Whittaker, the marketing guy for Dell. I think you have a great idea there! Please give Dell a call and make sure you tell him I contacted you so he knows what's going on.  800-707-2525

  • 1:34 looks as we was stalling

  • thanks.by the way..what size of wing you use.?

  • @ANNAI89 That is a 31sm Emotion but now we fly the new 28.8sm K2 as it has better lift.

  • i like your landing skill.very nice and steady,,im new in paramotoring..im practicing to master the landing like yours.

  • @ANNAI89 A beautiful launch & landing should be something that you definitely have before you are done with training. Perhaps come and take a glider mastery course to polish up your skills to perfection. It's kind of hard to just watch & learn. It is waaaaay better to have a master watch you and point out exactly what to fix as it can save you years and years of trail and error. Training with a master will more than pay for itself in one single oops.

  • Very nice young man !. pretty good flying in relatively strong winds.Excellent control of the wing. Youre at least an intermediate pilot or a very fast learner.

    You look much younger than what you pretend.

    Nice to be able to take off from a paved road. The mountains in the background are gorgeous.

    I like the trike and it's big all terrain wheel, sure can take punishment.

    Does it have brake on the front wheel or independant brakes on each rear wheel. ?

    happy flying,

  • You go gramps!

  • @3333sweetie Beats me, I do both and I think it takes longer to master the paragliding vs hang gliding.

  • I WANT ONE.

  • What is the total cost to get in the air for the first flight using the same equipment as you? What are the operating and matenience costs? How about laws and licenses needed? All I can say is this looks like too much fun not to get involved.

  • @MikeReedKS This setup is about $15,000. Maintenance costs are pretty much zero for quite a long time. No license or registration of any sort is required as it is an ultralight. It is indeed a total blast. You can also foot launch without the trike and then the very best equipment is only about $11,000 depending on your weight.

  • Whats that thing tied to the left side of the cage ?

  • @TheGuPo That's a banner. Once in the air he pulls a rope and it deploys. REG6.com is his website.

  • @imasuper0308 Can you get a sport pilot license to fly a 2 seat paramotor trike?

  • @3333sweetie Yes you can but you can also just get a BFI to do the same thing. Give me a call if you like and I can tell you all about it. Dell 800-707-2525

  • @imasuper0308 how does the wing stay steady if the winds are blowing? Let's say u are in calm wind in the air, but all of a sudden, a rush of strong wind passes by, how do u mantain cntrol to keep it from going in the other direction from where u want to go?

  • @3333sweetie It was actually pretty gusty when he was coming in to land which is why you see him bumping around. A gust of wind just bounces you a bit, no big deal or anything to worry about. A paraglider can take some seriously crazy weather conditions. It is extremely stable.

  • @imasuper0308 If so, then how can u control it when its bouncing you? Also, if it can take serious weather conditions, wh yare we not allowed to fly it during very high winds, at night, etc?

  • @3333sweetie It is pretty simple as you can see in this video. Just keep it pointed the direction you want it to go. Unlike most aircraft we have direct connection to the angle of attack of the glider so we can instantly decend if we hit lift or climb if we hit sink to maintain a very steady altitude. I fly paragliders in up to 25mph winds and flying at night is legal as well depending on where you are.

  • @imasuper0308 i was just curious about hang and paragliders. which are safer: hang gliders or paragliders?

  • @3333sweetie For sure the paraglider because of the lower speeds and better crumple zone of of current technology paramotors like the Flat Top.

  • @imasuper0308 b/c one of the ppl in hang gliding competitions said it'd be too small for me. He said i'm too short to fit in the control frame. is five feet too short or no?

  • @3333sweetie Oh that's interesting. I'm sure they make different sizes. I've seen some pretty small guys fly hang gliders.

  • @imasuper0308 how is a hang glider trike different from a weight shift trike?

  • @3333sweetie They are the same thing, just different names for it. This is a powered skydiving or powered paragliding trike. A hang glider is the triangle with aluminum tubes in it. They take about 45 minutes to setup and the same to tear down. With powered paragliding you can be ready to fly in less than 60 seconds. Plus there are no pins or clips to forget that might kill you. 2 carabineers, that's it. Totally love this sport, fun stuff!!

  • @imasuper0308 If I weigh 110 lbs and am five feet tall, would I be able to lift a hang glider during takeoff?

  • @3333sweetie Yes but why would you want to? If you want to fly you would have to modify your vehicle, drive to a free flying spot, take 30 minutes to set it up. Hope the weather conditions are working, lift 80% of your body weight... or you could just walk outside to your front yard and take off with a 47 lbs Flat Top 120. Soooo much easier and more versitile. I'm a hang glider pilot, they suck. Great fun the first couple times but it gets old being in the same spot.

  • @imasuper0308 I am just curious about hang gliders. if a hang glider is 45 lbs, how can you lift that on your shoulders for takeoff? isn't that too heavy? also, isn't five feet too small for the control bar in a hang glider? or is that not a problem?

  • @3333sweetie A hang glider is about 65-70 lbs. Not sure of the exact size of the control bar, never thought of that one before. Why do you ask?

  • @imasuper0308 don't you have many lines and stuff for regular paragliding? A lines, B lines, etc?

  • @3333sweetie I am flying a paraglider, what exactly are you asking?

  • This is awsome, amazing flying machine. Great video Dell.

  • congrats and welcome to the wide world of flying
