A powerful engine on a light pilot caused a huge torque effect and made him twist! he went down very fast!! thats why i dont like the high hang points systems!

  • Simply caused by asymetric blade thrust from having the unit sat too far back. This caused right side of machine to produce far more than left which caused the twist. High hang points didn't help. The only pilot error was having the machine set up wrong and being over powered. Been teaching ppg since 1994 and seen this more times than i can remember. It is also the cause of oscillations that are so often blamed on the wing. An excellent instructional video. Thanks and hope you didnt get hurt.

  • torque +applied the wrong brake

  • Love that dog!

    Maybe he wants to have a go with that wing!

    Glad you didn't get hurt.

  • at first time watching all this crashing videos, it made me scared to learn for it. but after a few , my perception totally changed ! it makes me even eager to learn for it and have a strong will that not to be on the recording for crashed..

    rules of the air " every take off is an optional , but every landing is a must " :)

  • It looks like it was torque steering left and towards the wind which should have been his intended direction of turn. In any case all low time pilots should take-off straight into wind and build up to cross wind take-offs and landings.

  • Hello, I am a paramotor-magazine writer in Japan. I am interested in this video. A friend of mine was died by similar situation. May I pick up this video as a reference for the next article please?

  • don't fly in heavy winds..

    you have to be an expert to do that
