After owning four different Scouts, I figured it was time to do a more detailed review explaining why I choose to fly this paramotor. Special thanks to the Instagram people for the great questions! Follow me here for daily updates - instagram.com/tuckergott/

I, for one, don't care whether you're sponsored or not. What comes across is a real review of one who uses a piece of kit. I'm a tad heavier and older so weight of equipment is a big consideration for me. If my pennies do stretch to a scout then yes, I'll get one, first I'm in the market for good second hand kit and I've seen your vlogs on that too. So you're my number one, go to guy for the fun of flight, safe flight and kit reviews. Many thanks Tucker.

You should work with Scout to design the Tucker Gott Super Scout.

Your channel is the most refreshing in all my subscriptions. Gteat content and explanations.

Thanks Jaclyn for the photography and thank you Tucker for taking time to present this very useful/informative video Safe flying

So happy that I found your channel. Ive been watching for a few months, first time commenting, But you better believe that I’m saving up. I fully plan on cross countrying and finding you in the sky someday to thank you personally. I appreciate your videos valuable content and you for inspiring me and all of the other future flyers watching. Thanks Tucker!

Really well done video. I intend to do something similar in about two weeks but across three motors. I hope it comes out as well as this did.

This was a nice comprehensive review of the carbon scout! And I’ll felt it was Nubia’s and true to the heart!

Nice job delivering the info, establishing the context and keeping it interesting.

Nice unit there! Sounds like that thing has enough power to be mounted to a cart launch unit without much trouble. Fully dressed in winter gear, I'm about 175 lbs. - not a big guy by any stretch, so my options are many. I bet they've sold quite a few of those, thanks to you! Great vid as always, Tucker.

Good update and info, understanding is always better and breakdowns. Knowledge without Wisdom can be dangerous..👍👍💫

I appreciate that you showed you'd actually had to do some carbon fiber repairs. A lot of people think carbon fiber has unobtanium in it. The fact is it's very similar to working with fiberglass which is equally easy to do repairs on. It's nice to hear that they will be offering an E-start option and even nicer that the pull start will be there as a backup.

This is the video I have been waiting for! Thanks for the great info!

Nice review! I think beginners will have a more extensive list of pros and cons for the Scout. I have a list of things I'd change in a heartbeat....stronger frame, easier netting replacement, reinforced seat edges, quick release harness, extra spar w/ purchase, smarter safestart, marked gas tank (L/Gal), reinforced spars, etc. There's also stuff I'd never change --- Moster engine, torque compensation, harness comfort, under seat reserve, storage nooks, carbon parts, etc.

I wish I was young again, compared to some of the aircraft that I've flown over the years except for maybe the Quicksilver this looks like it might be the most fun.

I love your explaining videos!

Dude, you are Soooo good at this gig!

Really enjoyed the in-depth review, Tucker. Thanks. :)

Great presentation Tucker!

Danke sehr aufschlussreich ich mag deine Videos sehr mach weiter so 👍

I know some people... Woody... struggle with it... LMAO!!! yet another excellent video Tucker. Well done!

On a side-note at 10 minutes and 24 seconds in you reminded me of a very small road trip we did here in Montana, but we drove to your crash landing on the Icarus race got all nerdy and took some pictures too LOL

Great info Tucker!

Well done! Also, great Billy Mays impression. LOL :D

Nothing funnier than watching woody try to start his Scout. Seems to hurt himself every time...

You may have just sold me on the Scout with the harness being able to handle 15 G's though I'm nowhere near experienced enough to put that to the test as of yet definitely something to grow into also having the ability of having a paramoter with the dual start is something I could check off my list of wants and needs in a paramotor as having the electric start and pull start Together would be awesome!

What a beautiful machine

Thank you Tucker for this. As someone looking to train as a paramotor in 2020 (and currently hovering under and around the 300lb mark....a big guy) I find your knowledge refreshing. Nothing beats training, I get that. But also nothing beats your favourite KZfaqr giving out important personalised feedback. I do have one question I hope you can answer if you come across this message.....would you advise me to learn as a solo man on a Tandem wing with regards to my weight? (Just so I have a target of how much money to put aside for gear when I do decide to purchase after training). Great video as always and look forward to your future videos. From across the pond....peace out!

I love love love my Scout!

Love ur vids

Sick dude!

I’m still wanting to get one of these

Well done Tucker

Awesome Video Tucker... I still haven't received my motor yet. Anxiously awaiting it. It's a Adventure Pluma with Dual Start Moster 185 and 130cm eprop and a light harness... ?? I guess I'll be able to review it once i actually get it! ;o) Quick question though... What is the fuselage frame hanging there in your garage? I used to work at an airport where my boss had that and the wings hanging. Was going to build his mid-wing acro plane... sorry to say he died before he got to start it... Anyhow, awesome as always! Thanks!

Stella review!

*PLEASE tell me about your mic set up...and a link ??*

Nice set of features. I'd consider it when I'm ready to buy. Which kit airframe stored on the ceiling is slated for someday flight?

Can you talk about what to do if u end up in a safe waterlanding situation. You are safe. You and your rig go swimming. Both get back to shore. What process do you perform to rebuild the motor. Should be a good video. If it is beyond your tech level, can you get a guest speaker to discuss it. Being the crown Prince of PPG, you know all the impotent folk...lol.

Tucker! I got a ShoutouttoVansSponsormeVansThanksVans commercial on the "his motor died" vid! Hope you got the sponce!

I want to know if you would carry a spare spark plug and wrench and or other parts on board if you so another long distance race?

What's your thoughts on the scout vs the nitro 200 vs your old BH125? I own a nitro 200, a triked 190 BH and a triked single place 250 polini. I know out of them the talon 190 gives me the most fits. But comparing the nitro or polini to the scout in your opinion is insightful.

Great review of your wacky flying machine, Tucker!

Tucker Love the sounds, where do you source your music? & who are the artists?

do you have a video where you talk about the hourly operating cost of your equipment, under normal conditions. Would love to know. all included so I can see how many hours I can fly monthly and yearly kind f thing. Thanks

Gotta say man loving the vids. Gotta ask what are you doing with the yellow VW is it a project car of yours? It looks really tidy.

This was insanely helpful 🤘 #archives

I like the bottom mounted reserve, but how does it deploy in a way that doesn't flip you upside down?

Coolest dude on KZfaq

Can one purchase the "Safe Start" separately? I did not like the standard Vit throttle , using the Aviatorppg...

*Dude* in a weird way you inspired me to start a KZfaq channel and learn to fly. *JUST WANNA SAY THANKS* ❤️

Is that an fz07 I spy in the background? Nice a hooligan bike for sure

as far as i can tell from my research the scout is the best paramotor full stop, maybe a nitro is better if you want it to be a bit lighter but thats all i can see as far as i know

I wish one day I will fly like you.😊

Any chance you can make a paramotor-Beetle hybrid?

Awesome

Love the shirt! And I don't even fly lol

Hey tucker, I'm looking to get into paramotoring! What wing would you recommend for the scout carbon? Thanks bro

Great vid skills Jacquelin! Oh, and not too bad either Tucker.......;-)

Could you put a tornado engine on your scout frame?

Only getting about 1 in 3 notifications of your vids... Might want to check into that.

Yay Jaclyn‘s there :)

Definitely dont fall backwards on this prop. I like the hang points.

Hmm, maybe time to try a Scout!

Hey Tucker I have a question. I’m wanting to buy my first paramotor and am looking at a Gravity Defiant. Have you ever flew one? I’d like your take on it if you have it’s a bit cheaper than a Parajet Maverick and Scout for sure but if there’s a huge difference in performance I’ll probably just go with a parajet maverick. I know this videos old so you may not see the comment but hoping you do, i looked for a video of you testing one but didn’t find one. Thanks man and great vids as always. Corey

I want one ❤

Does the scout come with any larger engines. I’m slim, but am tall, and weigh over 100kg

H Im watching every video I can but want to order something a.s.a.p. ! I am left handed but play right handed guitar, so other than throttle would this be a problem or disadvantage? I am very serious about doing this. Please help.

How has your muffler been lasting? I keep reading about the achilles heal being the muffler. I know it's a GREAT motor...they all have something that is a trouble spot for each motor....just curious. My motor, the starter has issues.....etc.

Where do you live? It’s beautiful!

Q esteira linda e uma pena q não tenho condições de compra uma mais se Vc tiver uma usada aceito ficaria muito feliz

How does the scout compare to the nirvana instinct ?

Coolest Para motor ever

10:58 bumblebee chilling in the background (transformers)

Cool

Probably been asked before... What's the airplane fuselage above the VW? Plans for it? I wish KZfaq had a way to search your channel comments or create a FAQ. Next time you're in San Bruno, pass it on :-)

I love you

Hey Tucker,do the anti torque spars cause any drag?

Im sold

Aw fuck never been this early before. I got a suggestion for a video here: Why not make one about rookie mistakes and things you wish you'd done differently when you got into the sport?

Question.... the torque compensation must be "balanced" at a certain speed, as the setup is a pusher prop, so the fins aren't influenced by any airflow from the prop. Do you notice any difference between when you fly low speed Vs high speed? I realise that that the overall speed of these things aren't massive, but I'm just curious!

Adjustable prop vs standard prop?

Hi Tucker, you said it weight 60lbs empty ? So near 27kg ? It's a bit heavy but seems really cool !

Double dippin' - 1) How much (approximately is the Safe Start?, and 2) Do you have any recommendations on 4-stroke engines? I really don't like oil/gas motors and 4-strokes are quieter, more fuel efficient, and pollute less. Correct me if I'm wrong on any of those points? I know there's the weight issue... but IF you had to fly a 4-stroke, which would you pick?

Can u please put the link of your motor in the infobox next time ? Please

Get Yourself a freshbreeze they the best

What oil do you use? Thanks for the great Vids!

Ok so when everything in aviation is about weight, why not use a fiberglass frame? They can be very inexpensive and they are strong as well. If something on it breaks they can be repaired or replaced for next to nothing. Tucker what do you think?

tucker why dont you have the triangle straps on your motor for better weight shifting?

Have you ever flown a flattop? Just curious, looking too get into this sport and don’t want any regrets or at least major ones, just sayin

5:25 SuperDell has entered the chat

Are there electric paramotors? Can you do a video on them?

Decisions decisions. I'm torn between the Scout and the Nitro 200.

Hey tucker what’s your height and weight? Thanks!

why am i watching this even though i have never thought of getting a paramotor ?

Tucker, have you seen the Gravity paramotor (by Glidersports)? You might find it quite interesting!

There a number of criticisms around the web of maintenance issues associated with the motor. Probably the biggest issue is exhaust weld cracking on low hour engines. Has anyone produced an honest evaluation of these issues and assessed what is being done to correct them?

I want to buy the Scout Nxt because it's the better machine so i dont have to upgrade and loose money in a year. Scout says 1-2 years recomend for nxt. Is this a sales gimmick to sell another machine in two years or will I die if I buy it? I am obviously a noob but I'm willing to drop 3500 for training I just dont want to be stuck with something I don't want. What would you guys with experience do? I pick up on things fast all I drive is manuals and I'm always at the track. My point is I respect things that can kill me I'm just torn between scout one and scout NXT.

So you say the Scout is $8500 for everything you see.. does that include the wing or is the wing cost extra?

My parents always told me I'm never allowed a motorbike aslong as they are alive.... I don't know how they are going to react when I tell them that I'm going to get some training and get myself a paramotor... I mean they never mentioned about on of those 😂

How would you compare this to a Fresh Breeze? And why? *using a trike.. 300lbs 65+ years of age...
