Harley Milne became the first Paramotor Pilot to fly in all 50 states in June 2020 (Guinness Record Pending) during his 50xChallenge Paramotor Tour.
In December 2020 Harley Milne completed the Fastest Paramotor Coast to Coast of the USA Fastest Time to Complete Flying Coast to Coast.
Powered paragliding, also known as paramotoring or PPG, is a form of ultralight aviation where the pilot wears a motor on their back (a paramotor) which provides enough thrust to take off using a paraglider. It can be launched in still air, by the pilot alone. The ability to fly both low and slow safely, the minimal equipment and maintenance costs.
This video makes little sense, it starts by telling you how to get adsb in your 103, and the solution is to register your 103 out of 103 with an n number and a pilots license $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ just tell the FAA to allow EAA registration numbers for UL's that begin with E not N to be used in ADSB end of story.
skyecho is another potential and less expensive solution though it is not approved for use in USA that is you can't use them where ADSB is required however if you are just flying in class G then it should be okay. I am considering though not sure if it is easy to purchase in USA. Looks to be about 1/2 of cost of ping20 it appears.
@@vg23air I am hearing from tech folks at uvionix that they are aware of the demand for folks like us and something suitable might be available around oshkosh time.
Thanks for the initial information. So, I’m trying to buy an ultralight and the small airport where Im planing to hang my UL is under the 3rd ring of class B starting at 2500”. When you say to register the UL, is this about receiving an N number (N12345)? Do I have to change the category from UL to experimental? My last question is because my medical was denied and for experimental, it requires at least the sport license. The small airport is KONZ in Michigan under DTW Detroit.
That was disaster waiting to happen in shit hole Vacaville. Real Estate agents cannot sell the land now. Fire insurance premiums are thousands and thousands of dollars now on all the homes on the outskirts of town in Vacaville, Lake Berryessa, Spanish Flats and Napa. Vacaville, Fairfield/throughout Solano County, isn't a good place to live whether your renting a home or own a home. I know that some of the chain of command at Vacaville Police department, some of Solano County lawyers, the county representatives and the scammer blabber mouth cult leaders preachers live out in English Hills, near the Gibson Canyon Cantelow Road and in Allendale. Now they have to pay thousands of dollars in fire insurance. It was the karma that shit hole communist regime city of Vacaville had coming along time ago. I relocated out of Vacaville a few years before Covid 19 and the wild fires wiped Vacaville just about off the map. After I moved away Vacaville went up in smoke. Poof! LOL!! Summer weather reaches 110 degrees too! Vacaville is like hell on earth!!
In the United States, if it is an FAA part 103 compliant ultralight, it doesn't need to be registered. But, if you wanted to, I believe you would do it as you would any other aircraft
Why is this allowed while "Naturist Resorts" are not allowed to show frontal without being demonetized, if not completely removed? What about those that like to go nude at hot springs? Wait, this is CORPORATE AMERICA, my bad . . .
19:43 Did you just "Ghost Ride" it into the Oshkosh?!? (Top Gun reference) Great job Harley!! Way to stick the landing! 22:00 The noise of those damn pesky paramotors! ;-)
Thanks for posting the video. I have been considering dropping the money for this same solution for some time now to use on my PPG XC trips. Do you use a mobile navigation app to track aircraft near your area (GDL90 data) - like SkyDemon for example. If so, does it work well for you?
Great stuff and thanks. If you think about it, ultralights (powered and unpowered) are among the MOST regulated aircraft in the world, not the least regulated. For example, we can only operate in Class E and G airspace, we cannot operate at night, cannot carry passengers, may only fly for sport or recreation, cannot fly over congested cities, town, settlement, or open air assemblies of persons (at any altitude), must see and avoid and yield right of way to all other aircraft, etc. What other aircraft carry all these levels of restriction? Believe me we are highly regulated. Stating otherwise suggest to our opponents that perhaps additional regulation is in order.
Congrats!!! I look forward to a full video of your trip start to finish, lessons learned, things that went well, things you'd change, how much it cost between hotels, gas, extra props with overnight delivery, and if you would do it again!
