Great advices. One thing about logbooks. It is a great thing to keep a separate logbook on your motor, note everything you do, every service, everytime you check through etc etc and when it comes time to sell you pass on that logbook to the new owner. It will give the new owner confidence of what he/she is paying for.

Those are some pretty useful hacks or tips. Not into Paramotoring yet but will soon I hope. Old injuries holding me back. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

I carry my extras in a roller type small back pack. I'm lazy so just pull the handle up and drag it along! I'm working on replacing those little hard wheels with bigger pneumatic ones for easier pulling in dirt and grass. Thanks for the tips from a still waiting on Santa to put a PPG under the tree!

Marc Amenson I got the old version of the blackhawk 125 with an Ozone Spark 27m. Only a few flights in after solo. What part of Wisconsin are you by? I lived near WI dell's for a good while. Looking forward to going back up there flying in the spring. Back by chicago now. I wanna try flying along the WI river and land on a sandbar :) That's the mission.
@MarcAmenson

Steve Engelhardt Awesome setup. I'm up by Green Bay. The southwest part of the state is cool. I have some buddies down there that fly. Always have great photos.

I will give you a better idea than then basket, I use this for my both my professional fireworks gear and my chainsaw gear. Get a 5 gallon bucket. Get a piece of plywood and either cut out a piece a wee bit bigger than the lid and use wood screws and screw it to the lid or if getting the lid on and off it too much of a PITA, use two pieces of plywood, one that fits in the bucket and one that fits over it. Once you have the wood lid, use some foam and leather or what now (curb surf for an old couch or chair) and tack that on top. Now you have a nice watertight bucket to stow your gear in, and you have a nice comfortable place to sit.

Some good tips there! How about a video talking about your helmet/headset. Did it come as a single unit, or did you piece together the headset/mic and helmet?
@jwburton

Nice video. Coming from the cave diving community beware of those carabiners that you have on your throttle. We call any self opening clip a “suicide clip”. Lines can find their way into it passively. Use a bolt snap instead. Happy flying!
@MarcAmenson
@MarcAmenson 5 лет назад
Jack Burton Thanks Jack, that's a good call. I took one off my throttle handle after it stuck as I took off. Learned that lesson "first hand" I'm looking for a good way to secure the throttle everytime. Have you seen anything good? Thanks!

Omg a bolt clip?... even my dog outside has got those undone... this is pretty old hope you're still alive Jeez... there's a company black diamond that makes great climbing gear. Academy sells their non locking carabiner with 3500lbs capacity that's made for non life threatening gear support they sell them at academy for $6 they also sell full rolling lock carabiner for personnel support. They're super light weight.
@jwburton
@jwburton 3 месяца назад
@@jaredmouret9723 bro. his mini carabiner was to hold the throttle while on cruise control. Non load bearing.
@jaredmouret9723
@jaredmouret9723 3 месяца назад
The reason of pointing out its capacity was to indicate thay its not a $1.00 carabiner that you get at the gas station for your keys. They have lots of uses that they won't fail at. They tend to break on your key ring. I may have missed that he was using it to pin the throttle

There's so many different variables when selecting a paramotor and wing. Research them all and then try to make it to a few fly ins and speak to the pilots first hand. Good Luck!!!

Spark Plug colour should only be checked by killing the Engine after around 20 secs at full power. If you check it after it's been running at low speed for a while, it will always look like it's running too rich.

Hi Marc, do you have any videos on Insurance tips? I'm wanting to get into this sport and one thing I do not hear people talk about that who already flying is what type of insurance they have for this; Liability or Life Insurance or both? By the way, great videos!
@MarcAmenson
@MarcAmenson 6 лет назад
I don't have any videos on that. I do now that my life insurance that I had prior to flying covers me, but any new policies I get have to have a rider/waiver that covers flying. It adds a considerable amount more to the plan. Good thing I had life insurance before starting. :)

Are you pleased with your blackhawk? Are you wishing you would have purchased a different paramotor?
@MarcAmenson
@MarcAmenson 7 лет назад
I really love the Blackhawk 125 and all the crew at Blackhawk. Mike and Heidi are committed to innovation, quality and customer service. As you can see in the video, the paramotor has great build quality at the lightest weight possible without sacrificing strength. So if I had to buy again, I'd definitely go with the Blackhawk Lite 125. More power, less weight. Good luck!
@PapaPapaGolf1
@PapaPapaGolf1 7 лет назад

Lone Flyer in guessing you've had a different experience with blackhawk?
@MarcAmenson
@MarcAmenson 7 лет назад
Sometimes it's best to contact a local dealer of Blackhawk gear. I've been out to the Blackhawk Ranch and they are often busy with the school, sales and distribution. I contact our regional trainer Mike Mixer since I got my training from him and he provides me with help very quickly.
@PapaPapaGolf1
@PapaPapaGolf1 7 лет назад
Lone Flyer man I am so conflicted I hate how the paramotor companies all turned against eachother you know?. I'm guessing you fly with other paramotors? Would you have any recommendations or what you would do differently?

HACKS?? From someone who pushes some of the worst gear ever build?/ not one piece of black hawk gear can legally fly in the E.U.?? that's why they sell there junk here, in Europe it is a licensed sport, like soon to be here as well? so, this ungraded gear soon won't be able to fly here either? black hawk like the clown who tries to fly it? end's up dead. 23 dead on this gear to date. that's just in the states and Canada alone!?! See could take the time to explain with math why he here doesn't get it? could tell him, but would not get it. by his passed action doesn't understand the basics of flight let alone any aerodynamics at all. HE ALREADY BOUGHT THE BULLSHIT FROM THIS COMPANY, THERE'S NO GOING BACK! FOLKS 23 DEATHS ON THIS GEAR SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT IT?? IT YOUR LIFE? WASTE IT WISELY!!
