Things Tucker's mom doesn't like: motorcycles, his choice of women, AliExpress Paramotor. 👍

Do an altitude test with the Ali, see how high it'll go on that engine

I bet you could get a better voice to noise ratio processing your audio with a sound cancelling plugin like Acon Digital De-Noiser

I'm amazed at how much this thing has been through!

The motors we use in RC airplanes are made in the same factories, in Taiwan or China, and they are quite reliable. I know of one similar size motor that has lasted 10 years. There's no reason that your AliExpress motor should just fail from use.

With as much content as you've made with it, the AliExpress paramotor has been a very good value. I guess we all like rooting for the underdog to succeed. 🙂

I’ve been away for awhile and came across this video. Glad I did. Nice to see your growth. Keep it up!

I live in 🥶, I have 4 of the bunk heaters I use in my shop. They are the tanks for the heaters, and they will eventually leak on the seal where the fuel line hooks to. Keep an eye out for that. 👍

I have been a paramotor pilot since I was 22 (I'm 41) when I built my first team with a 125 cc two-stroke karting engine. The Ali Express paramotor brought back memories! that feeling of not trusting the setup and the doubt of staying the night in the forest... What good memories!!! Also, I have followed your channel since the beginning and I never noticed those biceps.

"because it's an RC engine" really grinds my gears :) ...it's a DLE 175 engine isn't it? DLE is a quality piece of gear. The biggest wear factor is that you're more likely at the top end of the throttle for longer. DLE do however make a setup for paramotor which includes a reduction drive (200cc, better mufflers, etc), shouldn't be much more expensive than this one, and I'd expect a lifespan no shorter than any other two stroke engine. There's also some guys that have upgrades for most RC engines, like better rings and such.

Loved the view of Frenchtown. I walked across that bridge a few days ago.

Be safe man. As long as you don't prove us right and youre being safe and keeping a check on things I get it. Beautiful view up there nice smooth landings. Take care man.

Widen the intake and exhaust with a dremel, roughen the intake, polish the exhaust port. Get rid of that exhaust and have a custom one made hydroformed with an expansion chamber would be good. Get a bigger carb. Find ways to lighten it.

It still lives! I have been expecting that thing to disintergrate since it arrived!

Great little flight. The colours of the trees in Autumn (sorry, your FALL) were beautiful. Picture postcard stuff. Maybe the AliExpress Mobile is going to surprise us all. "I think I can, I think I can."!

Super hopeful and feeling good about this giveaway. Can’t stop, won’t stop believing 🙌🏻 !!!!! Lesss goooooo

Love your show Tucker. (greetings from Ontario)

The fall colors are beautiful from up there.

Another Aliexpress paramotor video, sweet!

It might be loud but I love the sound of this at full power, great vid 👍

You should try seeing how much extra power you can get out of it by upgrading the piston rings, exhaust, & propeller. You could get 25% more rpms, and it will sound better.

That looks like fun.

Awesome video! Cheers from Kyrgyzstan!

Am surprised!!! It lives!! Kinda…. Great vid as always! Like going from a Citation to a 15O…….

Dude that things does not suck, its started right up and sounded pretty good considering the exhaust output. Curious if there would be any way to muffle that exhaust a bit more?

Would love to see you fly over Phillipsburg one of these days!

Bro, it’s gonna splode one day (you’ll handle it fine), can’t wait for the video!

love you to test fly the minimot from italy and check out the differance between them , sure there will be a great differance the frame and swing arms ( 3D ) are the best quality on the market in my opinion , would be interesting to no the fuel consumption between the two , you could borrow one from aviators , i look forward to your revue , please use ltrs when giving fuel consumption as gallons vary from one country to another, enjoy your vids Tucker , best wishes to you and i take this oppertunity to wish you a fab 2024 good luck with the move , look forward to the new vids .

I think it's time to invest in some more silent exhaust, it deserves some upgrades, see where you can push this engine and see if you can improve it.

I’ve biked to Frenchtown many a time from Washington’s crossing or New Hope. From the river the banks look more steep. Looks flat from up there

It’s almost tempting to want one of these over my old HE 80 😂

Wish you would do more casual flying/talking/camping stuff again, missing those! Cheers

I wanna see you experiment with mufflers and get it as quiet as possible. Fun engineering challenge!

Hey Tucker Isn't is all about having a good time? :-) Looking at the equipment you have, how much of the garage have you taken over now?! :-)

What a surprise ! 😁

You should always carry some jb weld. It's saved me a few times.

At this point it’s seems like it isn’t a bad paramotor if you are on a budget … still would fly a name brand wing though

After all the abuse its been given so far it doesn't seem that bad and its still going as it should. I would love to see if you could get up to cloud base or a least what is the max climb you can achieve on a full tank

Rc airplane engines aren’t junk. Maybe that Chinese one is but most are only subject to your maintenance. Being two strokes they’ll need proper oil and you’ll have to replace the plugs, rings and bearings every so many hours but outside of that they’re bullet proof and don’t fail.

lol may have to put your skydiving parachute on when you try 🤣🤣🤣

I know it had cheap straps n stuff but how many times have you said "i'm impressed", if it can put a smile on your face after all your experience i'm sold! still cant afford even a cheap one but i can dream and watch videos :)

FAA aside. It would be good to see how high it bounces if you dropped the Ali Xpress from 1000ft agl.

I've been running DLE in my RC planes for years. You wond blow it up

What if you tried some upgrades to the engine? A better exhaust, for instance, might yield both less noise and more power.

Would love to see you fly an electric Para-Motor and give your thoughts.

Love the videos. I think it would be cool to take it on a camping trip with friends.

Tuck ... I love your mom and Dad ... I know you do too ...lucky

Your a brave guy Tucker. But if we are seeing this I guess you're alright.

Another set of greetings from Ontario, Canada

If you used a handheld radio to make 2 way contact, the ATC audio would be recorded as another way to have a record of it on the fly!

Good video! My AliExpress motor gets about 40 minutes to a full tank, so it burns about 1.8 gallons an hour, with a one gallon tank 😂

You should use it while riding roller blades! That would be sick!

Would like to see a little larger prop

surprised the ground start mafia aint out here about that little test start in the garage lol

OK, Mr. Tucker, my brother is hooked watching the videos with me.b I will roll the dice.

I want to see you go skiing with it, with a wing and without

Epic video :)

I saw my favorite Sushi/Thai spot in Frenchtown :D

Don't retire it. Rebuild it! Do a video of a tear down and then build it up with proper internals and make it a legit paramotor! What would it take to make it awesome! Do it like those guys that build up Harbor Freight Predator motors! I'm thinking bore over, better exhaust, better internals potential carb tune. Then upgrade the harness to make it safe. See what it could become. What upgrades would you put on it to make it more legit?

damn tucker is ripped

Honest question, is it possible to catch fire and burn the ropes and chute while in flight? Like a malfunction?

Tucker you know you like that paramotor

This is prob a dumb question but are you guys able to cut loose from the engine in case of a fire?

The truth is if you actually do all the proper updates you can run it until the pistons & rings wear out which actually can happen.. China metallurgy can be a nut and bolt copy of known premium brands, eg; Honda products. But it won't last as long by miles...

Would you ever try out flying trike ultralights?

How loud is it!

please please please do a review of the OpenPPG electric paramotor!

Try your flight across Florida again with it

It needs tuned pipes!

It flies, you glide! What more could you want?🤣

Hi Tucker, do you have to follow FAA's rules to fly paramotor? Thanks.

I guess the next step would be to fly 12 miles straight, without turning the motor off or stopping halfway?

Cool motor ali it works thats all that matters

How about a full loop on this paramotor??

make sparks fly! 😀

Try the same flight but as high as you can go!

I have 27.5% hearing loss from industrial deafness... After watching this and the noise emitted from the AliExpress motor... that has increased significantly! 😂 Bin the thing!

If I want to get into paragliding myselfhow should I start? what wings would be optimal for beginner and If I wanna get into paramotoring what motor would you advise?

Have you thought of base jumping, letting your shoot dangle and jump over it, with the AliExpress strapped on and then flying away? Not sure if possible but would be pretty sweet.

Tuck , a few ducks quacking today...ha ha

i was waiting to get in on this giveaway, now i missed it by one day because i work alot during the week and just go time to watch some RU-vid :(

I don't get it when people watch videos like this and accuse you of being irresponsible, as they seem to not understand you're taking precautions and know what you're doing. You have amply demonstrated that. I think it's an excellent thing to document and demonstrate how this performs to destruction because there are going to be those out there that seriously consider buying a motor like this, and hopefully this should caution against it. Maybe people shouldn't go all Dunning Kruger and assume that you don't know what you're doing.

Descend a mountain using the aliexpress, a BASE chute, and a snowboard?

I've heard taht motor and wing size depends on pilot size... I'm 280lbs (127kilos). what size motor and wing should I look for as a beginner?

I was thinking mabe seeing if you could climb high and see if it would do some wing overs.. pos a sat? I would deff put a reserve on you though lol.

Такер попробуй с Китайской газона косилкой пролететь ещё дешевли будет 🖐🤣👍🔥

I’m blown away that not a single person pointed out the fact that you ground started it. Hahaha.

Tucker playing with fire. All fun and games until the gas tank ignites while youre at 1000 feet

its survived this much, see if you can get a better prop on it.

What’s the best motor/wing for a big dude at 265lb’s?

Geez, I’ve dreamt of simpler flight all my life.

Plan a cross country trip with some camping and see how far you can go.... kind of like that "race" you did years ago. That is how I found your channel.

If you’re done with it I’d love to make it into a FULL SCALE RC paramotor!!!

first giveaway entered hopefully we get this would be super helpful

Darn it! I missed the giveaway.

I’m soooooo excited for this give away, I know my girlfriend is probably tired of me talking about it 😂 Placed another order because I just couldn’t help myself lol. Thanks for this opportunity 🤙🏼💯

how did you learn how to use the paramotor?

Any RPM testing with the Viper XC? I'm in the market for a new efficient wing.

Any way you’d sponsor an above knee amputee with learning to fly?
