Facebook-Chucky Wright
This is me showing how I set and self taught myself in flying a paramotor, by no means am I an instructor and this is not to be used as a training reference. always seek professional training and do not learn just from videos like I did my self. once judson has some free time im suppose to get some training with him. aviator Ppg in lake whales Florida has an amazing school with with some of the best instructors out there!
The most important part of training besides learning how to actually flying, are understanding basic airspace laws/ FAR 103, and truly understanding basic weather science so you don’t find yourself in a bad situation. 😉🤙
this is 60% of it right here.
@@ChuckyWright I agree. You've got what I think you'd get from a basic training course minus the aeronautical stuff... I'd go for an SIV course now and get some emergency situational awareness so you don't freak out while in a twist or something like that. You may not think you would but some people go into a shock state in an emergency and its just good practice for unusual situations. Nice flying BTW.
You're damn right about that! 😱
I am a Part 107 drone pilot and am wondering about the airspace rules for this. Obviously this is manned flight but what is this machine categorized as? Do you have to stay in class G or E airspace?
@@jericbean2821what twist
You are an inspiration. I’m 40 and always wanting to flight. I am so impressed you were self taught
thanks man! can't wait to see you enjoying the sky!
I came from your 17,500 feet video after never seeing any of your videos. I immediately got super curious on how you go "up" and "down" in one of these so thank you for answering all my questions with this video! Congrats on setting your record btw!!
i appreciate that so much!
@@ChuckyWright I LOVE the 17500 foot video. After I get trained this spring my goal is 12,500 by the end of summer.
@@ChuckyWright I want to get into paramotoring I just have to learn to trust the equipment like a paracord and the backpack hope the straps do not break that's holding the paramotor on the backpack
Bear Grylls flew one of these over Mount Everest!!!:)
Really loving your videos bro! Thanks for this one! always wanted to see how you get prepared for the fly!🙌👏👏
glad you liked it
First time I've ever watched a video on the subject. You are very good and have an excellent way of explaining things. Your "ground crew" is pretty good too. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
That was amazing Bro and only my second video the first was your 17500 flight and I am happy I came across your channel!! You make it look so easy but I know it also takes nerves!!
Welcome aboard!
That's so wild lmao, this was the second video of his i've seen as well and i just got finished with the 17,500 alt video
SAME! I was talking in a voice chat yesterday and the guy first mentioned a paramotor. I never heard of them or looked them up before, so my phone must’ve been listening. First video suggested on KZhead was a 17,500 feet paramotor flight. I subscribed as well.
Yall should check out the movie fly away home. It's a oldie but a goodie
What a great review of all the things that go through your mind. It's the entire process in a nutshell! The camera crew on the ground gives an added perspective. Even if I were young again, I'm probably not athletic enough for this sport, but I love to see you do it. Best video ever! Thanks to everyone who made this possible -- your mother, for giving birth to you, and KZhead for making it possible to publish.
they have trikes!
@@ChuckyWright Oh, Wright! For those of us who know the A's and B-risers, the brake lines, the rev-up in the takeoff checklist, etc., just from watching the KZhead videos. So with a trike, one doesn't fall in the sand and bust one's expensive carbon-fiber propeller. That's a great suggestion, Chucky. --And I understand the limitations.
That was insane . You just say it !! 😊thank god u came back ok . Blessings
Thanks man, I'm gonna now jump in my new wing and fly just like you showed how!!!! Wish me luck!!!!
So cool! I’ve always dreamed of flying like this! Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for watching!
Great vid! I’m still taking lessons though but it’s always nice to watch these for extra tips!
Thanks so much!
How long was the lessons?
@@codegiz imagine fapping one off up there and that shit lands on someone 🤣
Great Video! I absolutely loved watching you take off, I'm starting my training in Sept 2022.
im so stoked for you! who are you doing it with?
Nice and simple explainions. It's worth it to get training because you learn sooo much more and get to fly with a lot of other cool people.
straight facts right there
Truly inspirational video Super Chuck! I'm learning to fly & this is exactly what i need to learn, so i really hope you and your friends will make similar videos explaining how you're training yourself to fly, as well as you did in this one, please! May the 4 winds blow you safely home!!!
i gladly will be!
Forgotten Space
Love it 75 years old and it’s easy and so much fun !!
THIS IS THE VIDEO I wanted to see. Thanks. Very informative.
thank you so much!
Wow. Thank you so much for that information. I hang glide and want to paraglide too. It looks really fun. You make it look easy..
You can do it!
What an Expert, the landing was so perfect and you make it see so easy,
Thanks Chuck, been wanting to get into this for a while, active kitesurfer here but looking into getting info from a local school here. Keep the awesome vids coming
Glad to help
Thanks for the very informative instructional video! My motor and wing are on their way!
Glad it helped
Your video is terriffic!! WAY to go...you coordinated the ground segment and flying segment flawlessly!! Really enjoyed flying with you via video. Thanks.
thanks so much im glad it was helpful!
The most awesome thing you did! You got balls! My friend! I love it!
thanks!
Thank you for posting. Love it!
thanks for watching
I like that part where you released the landing gear shortly before torch down. Its a beautiful experience. Thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your video and honesty, love to try it back here in England 👍👏
You should!
4k for these videos would be amazing, it seems like an incredible activity, you more than earned my like/sub/comment for the yt algorithm.
thank you so much!
Once I read your bio Chucky...I wanted to subscribe! Thanks for being honest and raw about the Lord and how easy it is to get side tracked in the things we pursue that end up distracting us from him- always good to be reminded of that. Stay safe and don't be stupid! 😉😄🤗😮
don't allow the world to consume you. you control all outcomes
Ok, just watch from beginning to end, this tutorial was awesome. Time for flying now. Up up and away.
thanks a ton!
Your brake toggle magnets are pretty cool. I’ve never seen them move up and down like that
dude its so convenient
Much thanks for fast explanation, I believe you had a great time 🙂
I did!
Great video!! Really enjoyed seeing how you take off and land. Good work from your B roll crew on the ground!!! So important to stress THIS IS NOT how to learn to do this sport. You need training and understanding of USA airspace. You have an FAA rating as a Paramotor pilot, correct Chuck? Stay safe my brave friend. Gotta do the Drone/Paramotor fly in at Lake O!!
i do not have a FAA rating actually!
@@ChuckyWright Thanks for reply. Best wishes.
why you have no parachute. what do you do when it breaks
That was awesome !!! New subscriber from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 I need to buy one of these. Thanks 👍
yes you do!
for not being an instructor i have to say nice video and great flight and landing new sub
thanks so much! i try my best!
Nice video and view for sure. Your drive and enthusiasm impress me so much, as does your choice in trucks. 😉. I can tell you love a challenge, and maybe an exhibitionist just a little. 😜 Let me know when you make it to the panhandle. Have a great week!
i will gladly let you know, and those words mean a lot. thank you
Oh chucky thanks alot for lovely video once again enjoyed alot.
thanks for watching!
As i slowly turn into an old man, im looking for a new hobby and you have inspired me. Thank you.
That is awesome!
be honest, turning into an old man is rather quick, behaving like an old man is optional.
How old are u
@@jupiter_ios I guess your question is for Michael but i am 62 and I am going to start taking up this sport. How old are you?
@@M-ANTONY-888 Yes, my question was for Michael, and my age is 14.
Wow what a simple way to fligh , Kudos to the inventor of this awesome but simple machine
it truly is!
Thank you! Safe flying my friend.
Thanks, you too!
This video that i have been waiting for...😁🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks a lot, bro "
Thanks so much!
@@ChuckyWright you welcome....bro... I'd like to try....😁 Good luck....👍🏻
Another great video but you did explain a lot. Also - I notice ppl. that work out and you definitely do. I have applied to get into a class for this. Thanks again, Wild man RG3
Thanks for sharing!!
awesome video thanks! I am living vicariously through you :)
More to come!
@@ChuckyWright awesome yeeehawww
That’s unbelievable! Wow!
Please dont ground start. That prop can kill or severely maim you. By far the largest source of severe injuries in the sport. If its not on your back or in the rack, dont start.
you can ground start it.
@@ChuckyWright you can, yes. Should you? Not unless you have 3 things: 1) a clutched motor 2) a prop strap and 3) a safe start system. If your gear doesn't have these, then ground starting is just asking for trouble. Ask anyone who said, "Sure, you can ground start if you know what yer doing!" and then they end up chopping themselves up because maybe they overprimed a bit and the engine revs up and turns the motor into a blender. They'll tell you it was the dumbest mistake they've ever made. FB forums are FULL of people that think ground starting is OK - only to learn the hard way. It's just a really, really bad idea.
@@ryandinan I agree....
@@ryandinan I’m sorta new to this and I’m wondering how do you do it then ? Do you just run with the parachute till you get in the air and then start it?
@@rylandweet7750 you put it on your back and then use the pull start to start it.
Great info! Ive very interested in buying a setup very soon. Oh and training!
yes training first and then you will know what setup you buy after so you can get a feel for all the gear!
You are an inspiration to me,i love aviation ,i think you should be a pilot!!much love from kenya
Wow, thank you
I'm amazed that you're self taught ✨️ 👏 👏 well done bro 👏 👍
thanks so much I appreciate it!
The channel name made me click. Well done! Loved your presentation & a great positive comment section. (sub'ed)
thanks! So much more to come!
Definitely on my bucket list!
get after this!
Dudes built like the king of Sparta he could pick me up and throw me like a dart ... Bad ass video bro def well descriptive
thanks my dude appreciate the complement!
You the best bro. I been wanting to do this . i just got one question. Is there a emergency chute in case or its just that one ?
Man, you make it look so easy
Veo que sos un joven muy feliz . Te felicito 👏 desde Buenos Aires
thank you so much!
That is the most awesome way of flying I've ever seen
thanks man!
WOW ! That was Cool. Thanks for sharing !!!
Thanks for watching
so cool! amazing skills! 🔥🔥
Thanks 🔥
I have a major fear of heights I won't take a plane anywhere but I would love to be able to fly like a bird or super hero.. I love watching base jumpers with the wing suit because it's the closest thing to flying even tho u are falling so fast at an angle.. buy this here seems so calm and comfortable and in control I am speaking from the ground but I think I would definitely try this.
you would love this!
I can’t wait for the future, you have started something here. There will be paramotor gangs/squads. Para motoring across the United States! Who will be the first! I’d love to see this as a Netflix series where you do it with your wife or friends or multiple groups! That would be so cool! How inspiring. Im hoping to do this one day man.
Great! Then it’ll be as regulated here as it is in the UK. Ready to get your pilot’s license for no reason whatsoever?
Super cool man. I love being in the air! I lived in Florida for 20 years and I never thought of flying a Paramotor. I've flown a Sessna plane at the Lantana Airport in West Palm Beach and rode the Sky Coaster in Kissimmee, the highest in the world. I still return to Florida to see friends and family. I'd be interested in meeting up on my next visit. My parents now live in Cocoa Beach.
I'm inn sarasota come on by
that was so good well done you look so good at flying well done
thanks appreciate it!
Hi Chucky. Great wee video! Couple of questions, assume bring in trims for landing, less speed! Also where is this? Looks amazing there, noticed the kites on the beach as a kite surfer. Hi from Scotland!
this is Florida and the more you bring trims in the slower you go but the less flare authority you will have
Awesome tutorial. But your crazy. I would be a wreck. Keep on flyin👍
thanks i appreciate that!
Wow...amazing!
Thank you for the video. Bucket list
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant Chucky 👍👍👍 must take some nerve first time up 😀 regards Glyn Staffordshire England
it truly does that's for sure
I will try to fly with this paramotor soon, very interesting
You’re self-taught?!! We need a video on this story haha. That’s incredible
ill make one!
You can literally teach yourself anything with some dedication and determination as well as KZhead videos,they will LITERALLY teach you anything and everything you possibly wanna know these days,trust me i know!
Fascinating what you can do with a simple industrial fan and a parachute
isn't it wild?
You are amazing. Best wishes
That's an insane place to ply, with these views. I imagine it must have felt amazing with a cold moist breeze when flying in that hot sun. I'm sort of envious, but a paramotor would take a year of saving up all my earnings and I'm to mentally weak to do it :D Still GG to you for learning yourself!
thanks!
An excellent video I enquired about paramotor in Sydney Australia but couldn't find any I would love to try it
come to the us
@@ChuckyWright easier said than done mate..I finally found a paramotor trading in Victoria which about 1000km from Sydney which too far but I found a paragliding training in Sydney is near a good spot where I ride my bike to overlooking the sea. I will do some enquiries soon
Just bought a Paramotor this week I’m from Ireland 🇮🇪 going to practice ground handling and maybe get a lesson or 2 for myself can’t wait to fly 🪂 new subscription for the Channel to
love to hear it my dude!
Are you still alive nine months later?
@@christopdeck3457 how’s things pal yes I’m alive 🤣 I was actually only out yesterday flying…I ended up travelling to spain to do my course and get my license with Fly-Spain best decision I ever made 🪂 have you a motor or thinking of flying?
@@Rashers- I’m fine thanks. No, I don’t think I’d have the guts to do it, plus my wife wouldn’t let me do it anyway. 😀. It’s interesting to watch though. What kind of heights do you get to? Is there never a chance of the sail collapsing in on itself? Do you ever have a hard landing? So many questions. Anyway, stay safe and good flying !
I gave a thumbs up because... 1. I am not a hater, and 2. I enjoyed the video. now having said that, I have a true passion to do exactly what you are doing. Flying a para motor for me is much more than an interest. it is a celebration of life and living my dream after beating cancer.there are no words to express my passion and devotion to achieve this goal. My passion and dream, led me to find any way to do this with gear I could afford (with a lifetime payment plan for medical bills). I Thank god daily for his blessings, and my recovery. I also thank god, l have done research and though a tough pill to swallow realize if I can not afford proper training and gear, then that celebration, and passion could be short lived. Please sir tread lightly in persuading others like myself to follow their passion blindly. If I saw this video a couple of years ago, either I would be making my videos of self taught, or I would have become a statistic. Though I want to live, passing doing something you love is acceptable with me. Just sharing so you understand the impact you may have. I pray you continue to stay safe and enjoy sir.
thanks so much and I'm happy the lord has blessed you with another chance at life.
Your friends are cool too awesome fun hobby you and your friends!! 🤘👍😎✌️
Thanks you too buddy !! 👍
Thank u for the instruction; I will now do it for the first time base on ur instructional skills KIDDING 😂
Great stuff! Inspirational.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice. Tnx for the ride. looks like a lot of fun..
its a hell of a time.
Chucky, please tell us how was your 1st flight with the paramotor. Were you nervous?..... Excellent take off and landing, man...keep on flying.
i was nervous yes
Dam that thing climbs fast! I wasn't expecting that
yeah it does!
Very Informative. Man to be honest even flying over a small body of water makes me nervous lol
thanks so much!
Great video! Im new to the channel, keep up the good work
Welcome aboard!
Dude I enjoyed Watching a lot 🙏
thanks!
Amazing!! I have got to have one! John.
You should!
That’s freaking cool ! Dude
thank you so much!
Nice! This looks pretty fun.
it truly is!
You’ve inspired me to make this my next hobby
love to hear it!
Wow self taught . Great video you sb very proud of yourself . Bob M ,.
Thank you kindly
Awesome video brother!!!! I'm in Sarasota, and would love the opportunity to get into the sport. I have only Skydiving experience but would imagine it is a whole different ball game. What setup do you have? Motor and chute? TIA.
we can talk about it!
@@ChuckyWright That would be great! I ordered a Velocity Core 2 25m and a Black Devil 172. I hope it comes soon so I can start Kiting it.
Beautiful landing 🎉. 👌
thanks!
This a great instructional video, can I buy one of these on Amazon?
Great vid Chuck thankyou take care .Rob in west cornwall uk .
thanks so much rob have an awesome day!
I have enjoyed every bit of your Adventures shout out from Hargeisa, Somaliland.
thanks my man! keep coming back for more huh?
@@ChuckyWright thanks from the bottom of my heart.
I'll make this the new Aer Lingus..love it,tks.
thanks!
Thanks, enjoyed that !
Glad you enjoyed it
You should teach the method that you’re showing and if you can’t do the method you want to teach due to the weather wait for a better day. All the same thanks for the video and furthering my knowledge. I cant wait to get one of these and teach myself
Great suggestion!
Hope more new video from now to whatever ok ? You good professional!!
Yeah you are great professional!!!! 👍😎
Could you also please tell about which engine, wing and other paramotor accessories to buy for a beginner .....thanks
parajet maverick with master 185
You said your self taught. I'm amazed how perfectly you took off and landed. I've watched KZhead videos for years on paramotoring and feel I could fly a paramotor. Would you take a moment of your time and explain what you did to do the leap of faith? Did you kite for a length of time. Then just go for it? Any info would be great. I know all paramotorists highly recommended training. Yet, it's been done by many. Love your videos pal.
i will gladly do a video on how i got into it and the steps i took!
@@ChuckyWright please do. I'm following what you did by kiting, kiting and more kiting. Being it's the heart of paramotoring. The paramotor just propel us upwards and forward. I've never flown yet. Had session set up last year with kyleo in Louisiana but, my dad's health got bad. Had to cancel. I feel very confident I can self train myself as you did. I'm a very safe and have alot to lose also. You did so flawlessly. I'm excited. Please do video of step by step. Hooking into harness. Reverse launch etc. Dedicate video to me. My buddies will love it. Hehe
@@michaelbarnes7086 Best of luck to you! If you can find a pilot to help for even just a few moments, youll fare with better odds. I found it pretty damn tough and I've done a LOT of active sports in my time. Its always seems easy, until its your ass in the seat.
@@michaelbarnes7086 there are a lot of things you can get wrong if you 'take the leap of faith' and teach yourself to fly. Or you could get lucky. I suggest learning as much as you can on your own (videos, reading) and then finding an instructor so you can maximise your instructional time. It's an amazing sport. Good luck.
It's always possible to teach yourself most things! Remember this though, the survivors of such are here to tell you how easy it is. The rest are either not here or they are incapacitated or ashamed. Lessons from a good sensible instructor will multiply your chances of success and safety by MANY times. The cost of failure in flight can be life altering and more expensive than anything. Also I can only assume there are reserve chutes available, have one of those too.
great video and pretty smooth ! cheers man! where is it?
this is off of the skyway bridge
I’m fascinated! Only a few minutes in.. thank you! Does it require a license?
you do not need one
@@ChuckyWright , What a beautiful world this opens up! Thank you, sir!
Hey what device and service do you use for navigation etc? Maybe a tablet with Garmin and such? I'm looking to getting into the sport and was wondering, thanks!
