Your it

You don’t know how much you have inspired me although I’m a kid I still want to get one when a grow up

@@King_carcar Awesome chase your dreams and live life to it's fullest. I'm not Tucker but, I say follow your dreams kid. It's good to see kids who still enjoy the outdoors.

Yup, got that!

Came here specifically to write this! Hilarious

I had to go back ! “wait. What? Did he just say that? Yup yup he did. Lmao “

@@benjaminhurmx Also did a double-take hahaha it came outta nowhere

😂😂

A LiPo bag is definitely a good idea. Also some sort of LiPo battery monitor/alarm is a good idea too. You can get small ones that plug into the balance port and make a pretty loud beep if they start to get low.

Moving it up off the ground to avoid puncturing a cell is a great idea. I'm not too concerned about it running away. A DLE 170 needs between 4.8 and 9 volts for the ignition system. A 2S 5000 mAh lipo will have lots of capacity. The JST connector means it's not drawing a lot of amps. It's also a relatively constant draw, not the spikes seen in an RC car or plane. Those spikes drawing current as fast as the battery can supply are what heats up a battery.

Maybe consider a LiFeP04 that is far less likely to have thermal runaway. The FAA did a study on the fire hazards of various lithium chemistries and LiFeP04 was the only type that did not propagate fire to adjacent cells in a pack. Do a search for DOT/FAA/TC-16/17 if you would like to read it.

The problem is with LiIon not LiPo4 batteries. Lithium Iron is not a stable mix. If there is a short they become an excellent marine flare!

@@ulbuilder LiFePO4 can not do thermal runaways. They might boil of the fluid but thats it, even with a nail through it. Can't believe anyone would use Li-Ion instead for purposes like this where a thermal runaway has quite a high degree of killing you and furthermore is mounted in a high vibration environment.

List seems correct except it comes with a stock 32" prop.

@@saxonsoldier67 Got stuck thinking that sexy carbon prop would be a must have. But you're correct, in which case no need for more bolts.

Still cheap

yeah cheap for a paramotor

For a paramotor that's cheap

In india you could get for less than 2000dollars

@@richooztube_official Where?

I feel the same way about that.

That and when a LiPo battery fails they go thermal which you're probably not gonna want to grab with your hand. Nothing quite like grabbing a flaming battery.

THANK you! I am not the only one then to think this battery will superheat, burn, melt the fuel cell and turn the pilot into a human torch

@@lothre I mean, I wouldn't bet the battery would fail, I think the probability for that battery to explode is very low, but if it does, under those conditions, you got no escape from that, so it's probably a good idea to find a way to keep the battery and the gas tank apart from each other.

Or use a battery that doesn't carry that risk.

Not to mention potentially severe burns on your hand

Tucker burning his hand is nothing compared to if he accidentally burned his massive balls.

@mavicminipilot I heard his balls are so massive that if one side caught fire, it would take seven years for the flames to spread across to the rest of his balls

Not all "Lithium" batteries are the same. This would be a very good application for Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cells, most often advertised as A123 (the brand name that actually makes the best ones). They won't "vent with flames" as we used to say about lithium ion pouch cells. I use them as the starter battery in my offroad motorcycle, they have survived many crashes and are good for an easy five years of use.

no. believe me, they dont just explode randomly. i have a similar one, 3s 11.1v 4000mah, i accidentally overvolted it while charging and it didnt got hot or explode. it was at 4.4v on one cell and its supposed to be 4.2v

What’s your thought on ultra copper for exhaust sealant? I’ve never used red myself, but on my aircooled vw’s ultra copper has been great, if not perfect.

@@orbitaljellyfish808 Ultra copper (Permatex product) can handle a higher temperature than red RTV, though it's similar (700 C vs 650 C). According to Permatex, Ultra Copper is exhaust sensor safe where red RTV is not. I would imagine though that in an engine like this you could use either product and you'd be good.

Same

ngk spark plugs will do

Awesome insight man thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏

Lol

Yep, definitely cheaper than a divorce lawyer.

@@abikeanditsboy3449 😂😂

@@abikeanditsboy3449 And way cheaper than alimony and family court awards. I think the OP is onto something here!

@@abikeanditsboy3449 can confirm

how does it fly dude?

U fly it

@@eliassanchez420wakenbake he ded trying it

@@DARKSLIDEHLL Sure it flies!! Kinda older tech but it does it's job. I weigh 160 lbs and I have no problem.

If he lived to tell us what happened then it was obviously good enough for him.

Final last words.

I think it's safe enough for someone else to use... Doesn't mean I'd use it 😉... It IZ all about them Risky Biscuits tho. Eye on the prize guys!

He had to make several modifications to it for it to work.

I assume the replacement propeller bolts are aviation grade (were the originals?). So many SPoF on this unit. That engine is not even close to man rated. I wouldn't fly it.

@@TheGregstorm That's why Tucker has big ol' balls and yours are tiny or nonexistent.

@@salazam Good to hear input from the moron sector :)

@@TheGregstorm Aw the little girl got mad at me!

Just buy a parachute and duct tape 4 quadcopter drones to an external frame backpack, if you want to get into paramotoring cheaply.

Agreed.

@@AveryFlies big shout out to Avery!

That's not "friendships". It's entertainment.

@@selfproclaimednobody4614 maybe ..it's just that it feels I know this guy...just missing the part where we talk to him back

​@@gacj2010yep, it's called a parasocial relationship

@@emarskineel Its real , man ...this guy has shared everything about himself to us...Watched how he interacts with care and concern for others, saw him take a person with cancer up .. hes family to me .. and probably you too...would love to meet this guy but Im sure hes so busy with the business and flying ...Some day Ill fly when I can

@@gacj2010 nah, he doesn't know me and he's just putting out entertaining and interesting videos. I want to meet him about as much as he wants to meet which is none, because he doesn't know who I am

Casual Tay Zonday comment.

There’s vids with both

PPGGorilla of Florida Flight Sports flys with his dog Jackson on a trike. 😁

I’ve seen dogs. Never a cat though. It’s pretty loud, I know my cat would hate it.

​@@nathanmccollochmore like gay zonday

This is my concern, and the same also applies to the harness. It might look good with webbing of a suitable size, but who knows what the actual load capacity is? How can we know what alloy has been used for the buckles and other critical parts? No-name Chinese stuff has its place, but I only ever trust it in applications where a failure is inconvenient, but not dangerous.

You're telling him like he doesn't know already.

Don’t forget, replacing the carabiners and adding a lithium battery.

To be fair you are talking about only like 1 hour of work, and like $80. ANY new flying device I inspect longer than that. My new motorcycle it took me less than 2 minutes to find several loose bolts (barely had to touch the mirrors and they were flopping around, how is that suppose to be useable for a bike that is made to do 160 mph?) I don't like any mechanic touching my stuff, and I've already made several custom parts for that bike. Those engines however are fully exposed and easy to work on and simple, unless its Japanese I'm probably going to check everything before even test running it on the ground, and if its Japanese I still check the bolts that are accessible.

I’ve bought new motorcycles that required bolt tightening, carb adjustment and battery charging prior to using on the road. I think this just highlights the need to check stuff prior to using vehicles at height or speed.

@@jakegarrett8109 that is ridiculous. Nobody has a shop like this. I don’t have the tools or the knowledge to do any of this. I want a machine that is ready to fly out of the box. That is a stupid statement you made about only 1 hour of work.

@@jerryuma I'm pretty slow, but I can rebuild/replace bearings in my racing lawn mower in 30 minutes (time to roll in to time to roll out of my 1970s lawn mower with pulley swap for 40 mph speeds (in low speed setting on my variable pulley setup), something like that only takes blocks of wood (lift tires up manually), and some hand tools (socket/ratchet/ratchet extension/hammer/chisel). So if I can take apart and weld diffs (I have 3 transmissions for it) in under 1 hour then you can surely work on an air cooled engine that fast with $80 in tools... I've even welded (repairing) and machined my own crankshafts for weedwhackers that I've used for custom front wheel drive motorized bicycles, as a CHILD! Working on essentially a lawn mower is literally childs play, so I'm sure you can do it (my living room I have a motorcycle engine apart down to the crankshaft sitting on my floor), it doesn't need anything fancy, get you an $8 metric socket and ratchet kit from Harbor Freight and you can do almost anything with that engine. Get some files and sandpaper and you can even do a port and polish job since it's a 2 stroke, I've even changed compression ratios and starting systems for similar 2 strokes like that engine (and custom exhaust and custom needle bearings for clutches instead of bushings for higher side load applications like my belt drive bikes). Most of that took a file and some safety glasses (and then finding the centripetal auto clutch weights as they flew apart and put some new holes in the shop door, haha!)

That's the trophy for winning.

😂😂

Why is he pushing this garbage?!!!

ok i watch half video. and it only confirms what i know abiut this shitty thing. its extreme loud. looses half power when it gets hot and everytime we have a muppet fly this thing with us we get kicked out the place because its too loud. everybody hates it. for good reason. even you dont have money. DO NOT BUY THIS! its a total disaster. the amount of work you put into this you better off buy second hand and fix that.

I would wear a flack jacket...just in case

😂. At first I read that as if you swapped the R for a D in riot.
