The Sky Parachute / Paraglider

[roldkatia]

superbe, je possède deux paraglider le top a piloter

[TheKRU251]

Brushless Lipo must be the way to get the power/weight ratio sorted for better performance!

[promenoshi]

Anyone upgraded one of these to brushless ?

Just ordered one as a Sunday morning hangover flyer until i can function enough to fly my hz champ or sky surfer.

[IcarusCapeTown]

I fly real paragliders free-flight and powered. My skysurfer acts just like my real one. I have flown the s/surfer in up to 15 km/h winds safely. Not about lift, it's about the maximum airspeed of the model's wing. But zero wind also works fine. Are you handlaunching or trying to take off from the ground? Ground takeoffs are very difficult, need absolutely smooth concrete/golf green etc due to the small diameter of the wheels - tiniest bump and they go off course, not into wind means no takeoff

[dozybozo]

Hmmm. Armchair pilots...

...why not fly for real?

[MrCommonlane]

i have 1 of these and i have a 16g servo for the parchute and a 15a esc with a 60 watt moter on a 2s with a 10x4 prop and it flys like a dream

[THEFLYER2011]

Hey,

I got one of these but am having trouble,

it just keeps on flying into the ground as if it doesnt have enough power,

do you need to fly it in absolutely NO wind or does it need a tiny amount for lift?

thanks

nice vid

[kirby4d]

Ive wanted to do exactly this. xDDD nice

[jbs194]

Can you make a video on how to take off and land for me

as i just got one and would like see how to take off and land it.

[monster271]

I was outside my house a few months ago, and a real one of these crashed in the woods across from my house. The pilot was shaken, but ok.

[jasona9393]

Hi there,

I have one of these in standard (stock) specification and it absolutely will not fly (I've been in aeromodelling since 1995, so I know what I'm doing!). I just wanted to ask if yours is standard/stock or modified in any way?

Many thanks, hope to hear from you.

Jason.

[joehandsome99]

@jasona9393 I flew mine stock in this video. You have to use the throttle for elevator control. If there is any wind you are out of luck for flying because of the characteristics of the model itself. It works best in little or no wind.

[HolyLight626]

@jasona9393 dude since 95 ? you know what your doing , BUT you dont know how it flys . good money spent on your EDU. huh

[RCboy221]

Nice landing

[duduengeletronica]

Modalidade do aeromodelismo até então abandonada no Brasil hoje-em-dia é uma raridade.

[TheCoolhaker]

how does it fly if its a parashute

[ShakeyaBrain]

theres already Thing like that made

[steevee12]

how many hours it can fly? i ask cuz it is use 8 AA batteries

[bestamerica]

'

try put a small light weight SPYCAMERA key chain on this RC parachute and see the video on tv

[MultiNoel123456]

cool manl where can I buy this stuff?

[BBoyMkl]

how did you do this paraglider??? i really want to know how to build one like this...can you tell me how do it??if you have any design or project..plz..help me..=) peace

[seanmcgrth]

@BBoyMkl .. You can buy them on E-Bay.........

[yoyo6992]

where do u buy them i would like to have one



[jaldek41]

omg nice work...!

[SvenOkonomi]

I think it looks like alot more fun then it really is. Is it a bit of a troublesome flyer?

[joehandsome99]

@SvenOkonomi There has to be almost no wind to fly the sky parachute. It was a fun experiment.

[J1I9M7M4Y]

Lol "I have no control".  Was it hard to learn how to fly it?

[joehandsome99]

@J1I9M7M4Y Not really, just a little slow on the controls.

[jballzzz]

I had a chance to buy one of these things,but I bought some beers instead...bad choice!!!

[ee95ee]

Is it possible to take of from the ground?

[gautam456]

@ee95ee yes it can takeoff from a hard surface.

[joehandsome99]

@gautam456 yes

[Duckyistrippin]

@ee95ee how else would you take off?

[0N35595]

@Duckyistrippin throw it like he did

[bigednycles]

those are known to have there moters blow out after a few flights. there best if you put a brushless motor on them. then they fly really smooth

[Nile505]

that flew suprisingly well good build

[tarapos]

where can people buy those?

[joehandsome99]

I bought this one on ebay and they are still being sold there. Search for the sky parachute on ebay to find them.

[pudd750]

that music reminds me of "Enforcer" pc game

[zhillsx]

I had about 3 of these and usually never had enough power to launch. This first time I got one in the air I went to turn it back around but was out of range and lost it....Out of the box these are cheaply made and found that the turning control on the servo would eventualy fall off or break.....Very fragile

[phishingword]

looks like it could stall pretty easily

[Brnda96]

narez good

[kdlehel]

looks grate i think i going to buy one.

[lothar2048]

you can have one for 40$ if you surf on some websites...

[siresoul2]

do you have to fly them with power on all the time or can you thermal it ?

[lothar2048]

Easy answer. This model is made for no wind. If you got wind, you must weight it much more to make it fly, but you might consider easy out of control... That will be the time to go on something bigger... There are 2 and 4 lines control Paragliders and from 2sqm to 8.5sqm petrol engine powered... Let me know if you are interested...

[joehandsome99]

Not really, but it is fragile so handle it with care.

[MohammedAsmahiel]

just at the 'add my style to it' bit.......JET ENGINE...lol

[joehandsome99]

That would be cool. Thanks for watching.

[jazzmonkey87]

just ordered one of these, looks like a blast!

[joehandsome99]

Thats great. Thanks for watching.

[polkadottedponys]

did u get one? how was it out of the box?

[standomax]

where did u buy that

[joehandsome99]

ebay

[standomax]

thanks

[peterm8133]

hi i built one like this i am running it on a 7.4v 740mha 2 cell lipo i think that is a good way to do it to reduce the weight to help it gain height or you could use a 3 cell lipo but check the motor can handle it

[joehandsome99]

Sounds good. Thanks for watching.

[OverratedTodler]

omg! YOur amazing! haha i Love you!

[joehandsome99]

Thanks for watching.

[tigger00025]

nice one what is the going price on one of theas

[joehandsome99]

I paid $60 when I bought this about a year or so ago. I would guess they are the same or less by now.

[davidnieuwland]

I have the same one and just LOVE it. I go up to 300ft with this thing , no problem.

[joehandsome99]

Cool! I need to get mine back out and fly it soon. Thanks for the comment Davidnieuwland.

[mw19932]

I've got the same Parachute and I've big problem because it don't flay please help!!!!!!!

[joehandsome99]

What is it doing? Send me a PM with more detail and I will see if I can help you mw19932.

[DJRPODUCTION]

GODDD!!!!!!!!!

[joehandsome99]

Thanks Djpoduction.

[kevincostertycoon3]

Is that thing hard to fly?

[joehandsome99]

The controls are slow and you need to fly it with little or no wind. Other than that, it is easy kevincostertycoon3.

[Platypusmac]

Mine does'nt fly how did you get yours to work?

[joehandsome99]

I watched a demo video and just launched it like they did. What kind of problem are you having platypusmac?

[ParaglidingManiac]

What is happening with yours?

[joehandsome99]

I'm not sure what you mean Paraglidingmaniac.

[ParaglidingManiac]

Actualy I have replied to Platypusmac. Sorry!

[joehandsome99]

No problem and thanks for the help Paraglidingmaniac.

[wildzdriver]

dude these things fly awesum i had one for bout 4 years already and i love it a lil salty though great fliers

[joehandsome99]

The paraglider is a neat addition to my RC family and I am glad you liked the video wildzdriver.

[lsearls]

How long do you get flight time?I just ordered on,the addvertisements say 20mins other says 3mins.and how long to charge?

[joehandsome99]

I'd say 6-10 minutes on the flight. 20 minutes would be hard to manage. Thanks for watching and the comment Isearls.

[herpetologyboy]

it's hard to drive?

[joehandsome99]

It is different, but not difficult.

[dipstick431]

i bout one off ebay and it dosen t lift can u help me?

[joehandsome99]

To make it lift, give it full throttle. Turns are a combo of throttle and right stick movement dipstick431.

[jgizz31]

its called an ultra light and there sweet in full size

[joehandsome99]

Thanks for watching jgizz31.

[frankcanfly]

Very cool! I might get one for fun to compliment my actual PPC!! thanks for sharing

[joehandsome99]

Someone has one that lives near me. I have seen them flying near by and would love to get to see it close up. Thanks for watching and the comment frank.

[ivanskye]

very good!!!,do you think it could carry the flycamone 2 aerial video cam???? also what type of battery is it nimh??

[joehandsome99]

It could possibly carry a flycamone2. I may have to try that since I've got one. It is a nimh battery. Thanks for watching ivanskye.

[mgallegos94]

where do you buy one of those?

[vakantiefun]

i wanted to ask, what is the weight of the vehicle plus batterie and engine

thanks in advance

[joehandsome99]

Never weighed it, but it has to be only a few ounces, less than 10 for sure. Hope this helps and thanks for watching vakantiefun.

[xBrite666]

how do you steer it? gtreat vid though 5 stars

[joehandsome99]

The left stick controls the motor speed and the right stick pulls down on the air foil on one side at a time to make it turn left or right. Thanks for the comment xBrite.

[DrDave1911]

Very Cool! Too bad shipping is so much or I'd buy one!

[joehandsome99]

Yeah, the shipping is awful on the paraglider right now. I guess they are making up the difference in the selling price that way. Thanks for the comment DrDave1911.

[corbystarlet]

can you take that off ground?

[joehandsome99]

I havent tried that, but I will now that you mentioned it. Thanks for the comment and the tip corbystarler.

[corbystarlet]

it might be tricky, you don't want to get the parachute tangled.

[webvideosunlimited]

That thing's awesome!

[joehandsome99]

It is different and I like it for that reason. There has to be almost no wind for this little sucker to fly right. Thanks for the comment webvideosunlimited.

[NBMonkey]

very cool! you nailed the landing. I'd simply just crash it !! LOL

NBM

[joehandsome99]

I was running towards the little sucker during the landing because I could hear a car coming, Lucky for me they turned off before coming my way. Thanks for the great comment on the video NBM.

[LilPiperProductions]

Very cool Joe! Where abouts did you find this one? Thanks, Mike

[joehandsome99]

It is sold online. The easiest place to find it is on Ebay and search for sky parachute. Thanks for the comment Mike.

[helivestubes]

Oh ya ....Everything there is FREE! No Joke!

[helivestubes]

Thats bad! I own a paper modeling group who would love to build one of those from scratch!

Cheack it out! The link is on my channel!

Helives!

[pabloT585]

Really Cool! It looks like fun to fly! 5 stars!

[joehandsome99]

It was cool to fly. Thanks for the comment Pablo.

[MicheleMidnight]

lol...ya know...you could do some tweaks and fly them at night and make great 'ufo' footage!

[joehandsome99]

Sounds like a plan! Thanks for the comment and the idea MicheleMidnight.

[NightFlyyer]

Another great video Eric. Your are certainly expanding your experience in rc as I watch you progress. Good for you. 5 Stars for sure.

[joehandsome99]

I have fun trying new things. It was neat to fly, one of those toys that I just had to have you know. Thanks for the comment Dave.

[Winston51249]

Cool. Now you just need a pet hampster with a little helmet cam. LOL. Either that or upgrade to a larger sky parachute and put your lazy dog in it. That ought to get his/her adrenalin flowing. Another great video Eric. 5* fer sure.

[joehandsome99]

Thanks for the great comment Jeff. Has it warmed up enough to get out and make more vids yet? Still looking for more of that T-28 in the air.

[hismastership]

This is so very cool...

[joehandsome99]

Thanks! Glad you liked it hismastership.

[retiredrider]

Cool Cool And real Cool And not to mention that was cool,

[joehandsome99]

Thanks for the cool, cool response Greg!

[loadbrecht]

that is so cool!

when are you going to have a contest for that.....lol

I once paid $300 for a remote airplane and crashed it beyond repair in less than 60 seconds

[joehandsome99]

It was fun to fly it. Always a blast trying something new. Thanks for the comment loadbrecht.
