After my quick and dirty speed test without enough power to maintain level flight, I wanted to do a bit more thorough test of speeds in each configuration. Stay tuned till the end for a breakdown of the conclusions.

Nice, the GoPro gauges are a great addition for this one. Wishing you peace and happiness. This time of year is the worst for depression, IMO.

I don't think I've ever seen the go-pro telemetry before. That's a pretty cool addition to the video.

Yes! Do the US XC :) Honestly the your best videos are from the Icarus race and would love a new epic adventure series across the US.

The cross country vids are my favorite, especially if you can incorporate camping along the way 👍

Chase cam view plus speed bar is very interesting. Not something you see that often, seeing how much the wing shape changes (and the view angle of the camera) is fascinating!

How close have you come to planes unexpectedly?

Great video Tucker. Be safe and keep up the awesome quality and information about your gliding.

I love that airport. I landed there a couple of times in a Skyhawk on a cross country flight at dusk. The runway lights came on during the downwind leg which was the coolest thing ever. I really wanted to land on that long skinny crosswind runway but the winds didn't favour it.

At some speed it seems like just the wind hitting the lines will bow them back and starts to change the wing shape. Fun vid, thanks!!

He calls himself "SuperDouche" 😂🤣😂

Perfect approach IMO on your true airspeed. Great vid T! Thanks!

“Super Douche”…😂EPIC

I like the telemetry, nice add. It helps with visualizing the flight.

Would love watching you try to fly across the US! What an adventure!

Awesome video. Truly entertaining. Thanks. And dittos on Mark Frasier and Jamie Buxton's comments. Great advice from both.

A "cannonball run" of sorts across the US would be awesome content.

Thanks for that. Top speed without the average was impressive. With average pretty good too and cross wind for a barrel roll looked like so much fun. Great stuff.

Great job man. Still waiting for you come down to SC and fly

10:50 "i feel like i've gotta be doing like 50 at the bottom"... speed hits 50 at the bottom. dang son thats some recognition right there!

Lets Get It! Wow your new mic is ultra clean bro. Stay You Tucker, always watching. Wa, State aka Sasquatch Country 😊

I always have a go pro mounted in front of my horizontal stabilizer and think it's pretty decent footage, but man, I need some chase cam in my life! Cool video. You were really rippin it up!

Done my first skydive yesterday. Dont think i would have done it if it wasent for tucker, been watching for some time now and i just had to see what what its like to be in the sky. It was my first time in an aircraft aswell.

Hell ya man. That thing rips. I was going to say , you should do an XC to somewhere down wind and see how fast you could do it. Schmell Undies is a phsyco

The swooping excites me every-time. I so want to learn to fly and own a paramotor!

Wow 52. Really well done Tucker!

That thing RIPS!! Love it!! Yeah, don't be flying low with full speed bar just for us! This test was fine! Tailwind or not, 75 is pretty friggin awesome on a paramotor!! 🤘 That's one of my biggest reasons for wanting to move to FL. I get that seasonal depression BAD this time of year. I HATE winter, hate being cold, and hate the sun setting at 4:15 in December (it's finally creeping up from there a LITTLE bit). Dealt with it my whole life, except for the 2 fantastic years I lived out west from mid 1999 to early 2001. Those were the happiest years of my life! Wifey isn't ready to move just yet. Hopefully some day before I'm 65 ...

Shell Donzie aka Super Douche. Lol’d for real. Nice video amigo.

Dude you are a legend in the air

Finally clapping back! Loved it

Sending a BIG UK hug to you dude. I hope your depression does one. Life will unfold and give you all sorts of shiz, its shit sometimes but look how far you have come and pat yourself on the back for that. Think about this, you have inspired people to get off their behinds and out of their holes. Learning to paraglide sorted my head out and you inspired me to go PPG which took me even further away from my dark place, I know youve done this for others. We are all behind you dude and thankyou for sharing.

love that runway 80 and the sun is rising as compared to seeing runway 260? as the sun sets, get vid! nyc

If you weren't checking your airspeed while simultaneously kicking a migratory bird, the test is invalid. -Super Wiener

I had a dream last night I learned to paramotor with your setup, wake up and go to throw something on the TV while I make breakfast, boom you uploaded haha

Gaggle is great for recording flight paths and tracking flight hours. Would certainly recommend!

Love the telemetry on screen!

Snell danze.... freaking awesome! So I guess its safe to say that sometimes an atom 80 REALLY isnt enough power.....

How about launching a new SafeBiscuits brand.. I think people who really like you would love to see you on that new brand. I know how fun it is to go that risky; And it can really get the attention of some types of business..but do you really think it's worth it. We need you dude.❤

long distance cross country is the reason i'd like to learn to fly one of these. ive hiked and kayaked thousands of miles, would be fun to fly

Yep - coast to coast one day is a must. Then come down and have a go at Australia 👍👍

That 140CM frame geometry takes some getting used to. I still occasionally drag one of the parking triangles with the PAP frame even though I'm taller.

Noice intro addressing your motivation for this video. “Super” you might say 😄 I’m glad you didn’t fall out of the sky. You’re wing definitely isn’t a “death trap” 🤣

🤣🤣🤣 Chell Danzè, Superdouché🤣🤣🤣. About time someone gave an appropriate response to the crap he spouts.

Dude, I saw you do this on Gaggle and thought "there's no way". I was scared to ask about it because I thought it was a glitch or you were on a bike or something. 😂 That's INSANE DUDE

Serious question as a big plane autopilot monitor… when coming out of theses swoops using power, what would happen if the power didn’t respond or hiccup? Do you have the energy to recover without power using brakes only? Thanks 🤙

WOW! 52 mph is definitely high on the ‘splat’ factor 👍😎👍

I've wondered (and haven't yet tested) if a chase camera will slightly increase the angle of attack on a wing (due to drag pitching it aft) and decrease max speed?

they make pitot tube systems for RC planes. maybe something can be rigged up to "fly" on your chase camera rig and record indicated air speed.

Got to fly across the US. Would be immense. What a series!

Hi tucker I've just got the nitro 200 but trying to get the upright hang point is a nightmare I'm told to do it with a full tank but done that with no success is the anything else I can do on the harness with adjustments. I live in the UK my son James said he knows his a photographer and was in Iceland with you.all the best buddy and any info on hang point adjustments would be fantastic. Thank you

I just tried finding what the fastest time of flying across the US on a paramotor without any joy. So as to what it is at the moment I have no idea. That said, if you actually go for this kind of crazy idea, and you vlog it, I'll follow you. Moreover, if you decide to put up a go-fund-me thingy, I'll even contribute to it. I wanna see you actually doing it. I reckon it would be one amazing wild and crazy adventure.

Shake ‘N Bake!!! You were booking!

Schell Danze 🤣😂take your like. Question for you, how did you convince your airport's management to allow you to fly from there? How do you find your fields? Might be a good video subject.

Wow. So all of that given, what do you think would be your maximum sustainable cruise speed.

Hey tucker very cool bro I want to learn how to do this brother

Ed March did it on a C90; time for you to do it on a paramotor. Small engines crossing multiple continents makes for great content!

Great video man!52 MPH without being over loaded with 300 pounds of ammo on a trike thats really good Tucker :)

Tucker Gott a 2 hour movie as he crosses the nation from coast to coast 2024!

I can help you rig up a digital air speed sensor like on my rc airplane, so much better than interpolation using GPS! Instantaneous speed!

I'd love to watch you try for a new record Icarus with the new setup.

Looked like you trusted that wing doing swoops 🧐 Weeeeow

dayum! With that sort of speed your actually safer flying in higher wind speeds. I wonder what the wings efficiency is at best glide or minimum sink.

A hand held anemometer would be a great tool for determining airspeed. They have a bunch of them on Amazon.

Damn Tucker I’m proud of you. You’re actually using a speedbar. Bravo how long did it take you to start using speedbar

Now that your thinking about a future Speed Run across America...How about making it a group effort call it the MothBall it could a Cannonball Run for Paramotors.

Watch out Harley, Tucks comin for ya! 😅

Do it Tucker 🤘 like Forest running across the country. Icarus on steroids just miss the tree this time 🙏🌄🕊️

It would be interesting to add a VSI to that telemetry, it looked like you were climbing at 172 rates at top speed.

Love you bro

Tucker, can you recommend a non elliptical Trike Wings. Please and Thank You. GcW

Tucker, She has more. You were climbing @ ~250fpm upwind, and ~100fpm downwind. A decent climb rate that would surely affect top speed tests.

go big Tucker! "Man power paraglides across the North American continent next on action news tonight"

"Super Douche" you are too funny!!!

Is it possible you can travel toward Miami Florida?

quick thought, what do you suppose the... least amount of power you need is to get off the ground on a paramotor? is there a sortof equivalent of a 50cc scooter, but for the air instead of the road.

52 mph fully accelerated and climbing is insane. I have to run my moter pretty high to maintain altitude while trimmed out

Wow that high speed low flying just over the ground was crazy! Is it as dangerous as it looks?

Keep pumping the iron Tucker ow and a world record 😳 you know you want too 👌👍

Love the content. Even if it's a small thing, focus on positive points in your life. If you have the ability, find someone professional to talk to. It's not a quick fix, but I promise if you stick with it, you will grow from it. Take care man

You were definitely hitting 50 in the dives, great estimate!

Im starting to love ur videos

It would be awesome if you tried to beat the record for fastest crossing of the continental USA. Definitely in the realm of possibility and would be a heck of an adventure.

What do yall use for gps/navigation while flying? My phone looses gps by the time i get over the trees

Try to complete flying across the Florida Everglades first Tucker.

You went from Montana to Arazona so I think you could west coast east coast easily. Go from west to east because the air here is moving west to east.

Lol!! Super Douche is SO jealous of you!

Nice

Man that cage touching the ground puckered me right up! 😂

Tucker can you please do a video specifically on how the speed bar actually works and how it interacts with the paramotor when you go full bar?

I know it's cold at 1000 ft going 40-80mpg, but statistical analysis requires at least three data points to be able to make a valid sample set. So three ups and three downs to get a true averages. you can average two, but how do you know there weren't any outliers? I hate being 'that guy' but people make too many life decisions on not enough data. Good video anyway, love watching the flights.

Tucker Gott, why no more videos about Mustache? It seemed like you had a wild rapture with this wing. We would like more videos about it please! Guys support by likes this topic!

Those real time graphs are fucking awesome. Use them more often in your videos please.

I'm just wondering, can you fly around like that in the pattern at an airport?

How did he switch to the 3rd person POV??

I wonder how much drag the chase cam is inducing? And wouldn't a more accurate way to test a wing's speed be to use a Anemometer (wind meter). That way air currents aren't a factor?

Nice data collection, be careful if you create a sonic boom you will upset the Karren's. Don't let relationships get you down, its them and not you. Try not to kill yourself I enjoy your flights.

Man wings getting ever closer to part 103 55Kt airspeed!

That combined airspeed averaged is your TAS and GS speed in a no wind flight.

Shell Danze 🤣🤣

The motor sounds rich. If true that will reduce speed.
