Stay tuned to the very end for some exciting news! Also, that older couple was the best. I wish everyone was as happy and positive as they were. Anyone who has reported me to the FAA, called the police, or reported us to the township should take note. 😅

I think my favorite part of flying a paramotor is seeing people react, pull over on the side of the road, wave and take pictures while i foot drag by. Its a special feeling :)

My instructor just told me that I will do my first flight this month so I'm pretty excited, i will film it

I love to sit down of a morning here in Australia with a nice home made coffee and watch what Tucker’s been up to.

Tucker is this your First step to became an paramotor dealer?, if so good for you, because of your channel and videos a lot of people know, love and start in this sport, so I really think you can be a reliable parts and paramotor dealer to a lot of people, I guess next it will be motors, , helmets, and for last frames and harnesses you go for it tucker! And evolve and grow because this is your natural field of work. I can image a personalized full equipment designed by risky biscuits

[alfredsmalley]

I love the fact that you are humble. You can admit that you were wrong. Thank you for your honesty. You are a good man.

[clipzstar]

Must be one of the best feelings ever when your in the sky, the quietness and the calmness .

[compavion]

It was so nice to see these people act that way. I have pretty much given up on flying drones even though I fly legally and ethically, because I have gotten some flak in the past. Every once in a while you run into someone who is genuinely curious, and it makes my day. I will spend more time talking to them than flying if given the chance.

[carloslara]

The lady: You got a talent there.
Tucker: Yeah, you can call me Talent Gott. 😎

I got busy over the last few months and havent been watching your videos...now I watch a single video and you instantly reignite my desire to do this, not that I stopped wanting to, but it's definitely moved up in my list if priorities now.

I've wanted to paramotor for years. Got in 20 hours of fixed wing training then got flooded out of my home in Baton Rouge. You have a very inspirational channel. Keep up the great work! Cheers

[SeeUsFly]

LOL, Tucker ; ). I had to chuckle @ "If you're a reasonable pilot", cuz some of us have little choice but to fly in rocky, sandy, rough places (in the desert), where chipped, cracked, sand-blasted, and pitted props is a constant issue. I've begun to fly with "PPT" (paint protection tape) on my blades. For cars it's apparently great, that's not the same as a prop blade-tip spinning at near the speed of sound. We'll see how well it works over time.

[brenthollady]

What! Your giving away a paramotor!!! That's so bad ass! Life changing experience for someone! Nice work Gott!

[Kuasar]

If it was a guaranteed win i would totally buy a prop. I've been watching your videos for at least a year and didn't know paramotoring existed until i came across you videos. Been dieing to do it myself ever since.

[DAS-Videos]

I am shocked that there are negative people about ppgs. They are quit, safe, beautiful to look at with their colors, and fascinating.

“Bottle of wine “is what balloonists do on every landing -FYI

[MoonLiteNite]

I give tucker major props (pun intended) on being a great business man.
Not all big youtubers properly do their marketing and sell product :) you do it like a boss!

The advantage of multi-blade props are increased mass and increased wing area.
Increased mass means the blade is smoother, its grater mass lessens vibration because it absorbs more vibration.

Increased wing area means more lift. Props are wings arranged vertically to produce horizontal lift and push you or pull you over the earth's surface rather than above the earth's surface like an airplane's wings.
They work the same way though. More wing area means more lift, and so for props it means more thrust.
The great thing about more thrust is you can run the engine at a slower rpm and still get the same thrust, saving fuel, and producing less engine vibration, AND lower engine temperatures.

Those flying air-cooled 2-strokes rather than 4-stroke water-cooled engines don't think much about engine temperature, but the 4-stroke engines operate at a much lower temperature, which equals longer engine life, fewer repairs and rebuilds, plus MORE power.
2-stroke engines that are run at the same power as 4-strokes burn themselves out quickly.

If you look at general aviation, the only airplanes that fly with two blade props today, are the low-power civilian airplanes.
The fastest, airplanes all have 4 or 5 blade props. The greater surface area of multi-blade props is needed to get the thrust needed to hit the greater speeds, as increasing the length of the blade causes cavitation at the blade tips, which slows you down.
There is a limit to how long a prop-blade can be, so increasing the number of shorter prop-blades is the only solution to the need for greater thrust with a prop propelled airplane.

I dreamed I was paramotoring when I was about 10 years old. It was a recurring dream. I love watching these and really want to own 2 paramotors one day.

All the best with your eprops sales Tucker. Respect and "props" 😂 to you for your more recent videos explaining why you like and choose to use the gear that you do, whilst not bashin' the other brands. I know we have had a discussion about this before and I really think you are getting a great message over, without upsetting the users of other brands who are happy with what they fly in terms of performance and reliability. 👍🏼✌🏼🙂 Blue skies.
