was a calm evening so we got the hobbyking/Hacker paramotor out and filmed it with the dji mavic and my FPV microlight, great fun :) Music from www.bensound.com
@@mark675 Bring some 3M fiber tape next time and use that to balance. Cut a tiny piece off and stick to the trailing side of the lighter side. See that piece of tape? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9TX2nD6G4lo.html
@@arnauddreanphotographe990 the paramotor unit is a hacker, theyre not cheap though! £400! I bought the hacker cage and harness for about £70 and made the rest 👍🏼
Im using a 3s 2200 lipo but im also using another as ballast (unplugged) im probably getting- at a guess between 7 and 10 mins but if you connect the other one in parallel with the first you'll get way more, mine fit inside the harness though so maybe with the hk trike you might want to go with a 3s 4500 or 5000 something like that so you have enough weight, have fun :)
Great video guys...... I gather your from around the West Midlands area ( I recognise that brummy chat ) I'm from South Birmingham near Hollywood.... I've only just learnt to fly electric rc planes and im wondering how much harder it is to fly the HK Paramotor only I really want one lol.... it looks interesting and fun..... how strong is the build..... I understand there is a fair number of metal parts so I guess relatively strongly built incase of a bad landing :)
Hi steve :) Yeah we're from Redditch, not far from you :) You are more than welcome to come and fly with us and have a go with the rc paramotor, they are pretty easy to fly and do take a crash really well, weve had a few while practicing stunts lol
@@mark675 Just going to order one now... I have a discount code and some accumulated points... I will have to come down to you sometime... I fly in a local park near to Maypole with a guy who has been flying since they invented rc flying lol.... its been to breezy the last week to fly here... Looks like you are using a Spektrum TX ( I have the Spektrum DX6i ) If I have trouble setting up the model I might be asking you if you have the model settings ..... but as I like a challenge I will have a go first.....
@@DJBBBOSS yeah ive got a dx9 and between the group weve had most of the spektrum range so will be fine for setting it up 👍🏼 We should be flying this weekend weather allowing so ill drop you a message on here if we do, I tried putting my phone number on here but my message got deleted lol
@@mark675 great , thanks....... I may not respond until the evening as im an electrician and im on a job tomorrow early and will be done about 7pm...... thanks again, speak later
Thankyou :) yeah i designed and built it from scratch, theres a nitro and a scale version in my other videos too. Yeah they're true weightshift control 👍🏼
hey mark, very impressive flight man really enjoy your video. i just placed order on hobbyking to see your video, can you please tell me what will the flight time on 3S 2200mAh lipo ? and i saw your are using spektrum DSM and i have also DSM so can you make a tx setup video for me ? and me share the link for strobe LED setup, its really cool. thanks in advance for your reply.
Thankyou, Good to see so many are ordering these they look so cool in the air :) The strobe is a 'strobon standalone strobe' its the cree version which is about a fiver more than the standard one but the brightness is insane lol Theyre really small with a built in battery, charge with a usb lead or phone charger and if you velcro them on you can then swap them between models :) Im getting at a guess between 7 and 10 mins on a 2200 3s but i use another 3s as ballast (unplugged) they can carry a 4500-5000mah 3s easily so id go for one of them, if you only have 2200 3s you could run two of them and just join them with a parallel connector for a 3s 4400mah Enjoy it :) www.flyingtech.co.uk//electronics/strobon-cree%C2%AE-standalone-led-strobe-light%E2%80%8B-usb-rechargeable
As for the radio setup its just using a delta mix but heres a video that will help you with that, hes got some more videos on this model too :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d1xYHHhl_tE.html
Hi guys, great video. i just bought the same wing two weeks ago but i am really struggling to get it flying. when i start it opens and than turns right. or collapses in the middle. how did you setup the breaklines ? Could really use the help. Thank you!
Hi Peter :) The first time we set the brakes we just hung the wing upside down holding it by the paramotor unit, attach the brakes to servo arms with a little slack in the line (not too much else it wont steer as you'll just be pulling out the slack and not deforming the wing) although not steering is preferable as you can just land again and re adjust them shorter. Too tight and the wing wont even come up at all. We did swing tests on the second one by pulling the wing up as if you are going to launch it but dont let go (make sure you are directly into wind) if it comes up nice then it'll fly, if it collapses or 'hangs back' then the brake lines need lengthening. I might make a video about setting up the brakes soon so keep an eye out for it :) good luck👍🏼
@@mark675 Hi Thanks for your replay. This is very helpfull. I have been trying all kind of different things. I noticed that if i had the brake lines to tight the wing did want to go up. When i losend the bake lines it would come up but than collaps. So there is a kind of sweetspot somewhere in between. I will try again. Thanks for your help. When my wing will fly i will leave a note here.
@@petervandenesschert no worries :) Yeah as long as the wing comes up till the wings over the paramotor itll fly, it will always 'front tuck' and collapse if you dont move forward with it as the pivot point (you holding the paramotor) is almost stationary and the wing will just want to rotate around that point :) On launch i just pull it up into wind and get on throttle as soon as its coming up gotta be smooth with it though and you shouldnt have a problem :)
@@mark675 Check out rcairadventures you tube channel. James designed that wing and knows all the ins and outs of it. He also has videos of a cart and wing unboxing, set up and flight of the Hobbyking Paramotor that should be available soon.
@@LOCRUA yeah motors a overlander D3536/6 1250kv. Esc is a 40A overlander but im going to go for a higher Amp esc as it does get pretty warm being enclosed in the harness, dont think the hk trike will have this problem though. Servos are hitec hs645mg I use two 2200 3s turnigy lipos connected in parallel for my hacker unit but for the hk trike i think they recommend around a 5000 3s 👍🏼 I havent weighed it tbh so not sure, im guessing around 1.6kg
great thanks ! by the way can you send me more detail of the micro light you use to capture the great flying video ! my whole village so exciting to watch it! thank you
@@LOCRUA thanks for the kind words Loc Nguyen 👍🏼 Ive got a website showing some of the details of it, if you need more info then just ask :) www.mark675microlights.co.uk
Yeah sure, this is the 'strobon standalone strobe' The 'cree' version in this video is the one you want if you want crazy bright :) The standard one if about a fiver cheaper but id go for the cree 👍🏼 www.flyingtech.co.uk//electronics/strobon-cree%C2%AE-standalone-led-strobe-light%E2%80%8B-usb-rechargeable
This is the glow wire stuff 👍🏼 Have a search on ebay cus you may be able to get it cheaper. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112229121174
Sorry i thought this was my glow wire video, the led's in this video are just normal 12v LED strips, if you wire them up with correct balance connector you can power them directly off the 3 cell lipo balance lead
