Great video, often overlooked scenario that a lot of us acro pilots have encountered. I have my snake adjusted so far in that speed bar isn’t even an option and on landing if I am overly aggressive in my flare the wing will just deflate/collapse violently behind me...but I am aware and expecting this. But I could never borrow/sell that wing in that configuration. Great video, nearly untouched subject.

Whew Judson's little maneuver was a real sphincter clencher!

[Rigatonispaghettioly]

Video idea! So I’ve seen people paramotor camp/backpack and I’d love a video on your thoughts about that or even go into how you would set up a rig to best achieve cargo space whilst minimizing danger from things falling of or something. You’d be able to identify more problems or benefits then I can and I’d love to hear all you could tell :)

You had me at the McDonald's trip

[keithwilliams]

Another great video! Keep 'em coming!

[rickardjonsson]

Nice, i love videos where theres things to be learnt. Do you have a video about flying through turbulence/active piloting?

[ryanvess]

Judson made quite the jump! From training with tucker to sending the man his new gear. Gotta love the hustle in the kid 💪

[PhinneusPrune]

If I ever got into paramotor. No matter how many thousands of hours I have. I would only want a beginner/easy to use wing. I personally am not a risk taker and would paramotor for the leisure aspect of it. Just to get in the sky and enjoy the sights. I wouldn't need any of those speed/stunt wings. Call me a wuss. Different people do things for different reasons.

With this said ... I probably will never paramotor. So it is a moot point.

Great content, keep up the good work. Hopefully one day I get the chance to learn how to fly.

[rudyanderssonStar]

Good that your friend was handling it well there. 👍
Great watching sights up there, Cool how fast one is able to fly, like a car in air

[stokesy]

You need to get a wing and have it custom made with Risky Biscuits in big letters along it.

[RonBesse]

Your timing for this was awesome for me. I was thinking of selling the Roadster 3 26m to get a 24m Speedster 3.
I was hoping that it was a little faster.
I fly a 24m Paramania GTX, and a 23m Niviuk Qubik. They both top out with trims out at 35 mph with the GTX being the best of everything (overall averages) I've flown so far.
I still may get one anyway.😃👍

[TonyEssig]

Yeah tucker I did that to my niviuk and when I trimmed out and saw that break lines tight I immediately trimmed back in not really thinking that it would clapse but thought it wasn't right to fly that way. So nice to know that it would of if I kept it like that that day. Ty

Good video man. I miss having more of the ground shots though.

[calthorp]

I have flown the original speedster since they first came out in 2012 I think it was. It has been a brilliant wing, Never had any major problems in hundreds of hrs flying in all conditions. I am only just thinking of changing now to something lighter for nil wind take offs. Also getting a bit weaker as I am sixty yrs old.

[michaelkennedy]

I have been flying fixed wing for nearly 35 years and have some Pitt Special stick time. One thing that I was wonder is when you get to the very top of a speed range, and lets say you " redline" it, so to speak, do you ever hear or feel control surface flutter? You mentioned several times thoughout the video of the importance of having slack in the brake lines, thats where I was wondering if that would be conducive to some flutter of the brakes on the actually wing at high speeds. The Pitt I have 30 hours in experienced that once, and even RC planes due to poor clevis connection. It sounded like a very deep buzz, and vibrations through the stick. Of course immediate power reduction and slight control imput resolved it, but just wondering about wings with really no structure. Excellent video btw.

[seanrogers]

Looks like a Big Bannana, well it sounds real good, always have a good time watching your vidios.

[Robnord]

Doggone it Tucker! I spent ten minutes formulating a very lengthy, well deserved, smartass reply comment to someone asking a question about something that is really none of their business...but it wouldn't post because you'd already deleted it. 😎
Oh well. Thanks for yet another sweet flying video. 👍

[SmittySmithsonite]

I’m watching this in FL right now - I’m here because of YOU! Getting trike training at Florida Flight Sports with Rick, aka PPG Gorilla. I should have my 1st solo either tomorrow night or Tuesday! Just wanted to say THANKS Tucker!! Changed my life! 👍🤘😎🍻

[CS-inpg]

Great for the trike, great for cross country, great for stability, great for yanking and banking, can handle a modest weight overload with grace, doesn't demand constant control inputs from the brakes, you can just trim it out for speed and go, what's not to like? Sounds like a solid all around keeper to me! 😋
