This Could Have Been Bad - Paramotor Launch Review

sup -Trev!

It sounded like his belt was a bit loose

I did the same thing on my first launch. I got spooked because the angle going up on full throttle felt so extreme I let off the throttle and pitched down, then my cajones dropped out of my throat and I laid back into the throttle and pulled it together

HMM AT 7.13 the student was trying to get into his seat harness. thus his hands and throttle control changed. rewatch the video and see. "live and learn or learn and live" and what time of day was this launch? what was the speed of gusts?. was there any therm,als with the gusts? the mishap? was the student trying to get into the seat. if a student can't get into the seat...then errors can occur

Holly shit. First flight is in wind?
Im in Florida and the guys who trained me dont even fly in that kinda wind.

My chicken legs and smoking cigarettes makes me that guy who rushes to get in the air.

I definitely learned from this

This is true of Free-Flight too. He did well controlling the glider on the ground! I've never flown with a motor and cannot say I would be able to control the throttle first try. This is great contend Trevor.

My instructor had signs and always repeated "DON'T SIT, KEEP RUNNING!". He wanted to see our legs running until we were 50-80ft in the air lol

Great lesson, thanks Trevor.

Nice!

Sounded like he was on and off the throttle almost the entire time.

That is fantastic advice. I did the same thing when I was about 30 feet off the ground I just about let go of the throttle. Thankfully with some coaxing from my instructor, I got back into the throttle and climbed out safely.

Some good tips here Trevor, but still more to improve on for sure could be said. Poor Posture, very poor throttle control, hang point is too far back, lots of problems from what I see.

Maybe this is a bit advanced for novice training, but the oscillation control of the wing forward and backwards was super poor. I'm surprised you didn't say anything about that part. Impressive ground handling for somebody who has never flown though. Keep doing what you're doing.

Very nice introductions...😊

Я тоже испугался резкого подъёма, отпустил газ и резко устремился к земле.

Great video Trev... Greetings from Sweden mate 🇸🇪
