When you live in NC close to the Western most point, you wait for the right winds and weather and you send it across the state! This was a fun challenge for me and I did something not done before!

Let me know what yall think! Longest video yet😅but it's basically ten flights packed into one.

@nedmacallen Год назад

The GoPro is just curse’s our brains man. That was too ironic 😂 I felt that struggle. I forgot my sd card yesterday for a flight at hat creek rim haha

Loved it man... good job it was awesome to watch.

@pjbrewer56 Год назад

Fantastic flight!

@mn1k174 Год назад

That, Mark, was truly epic. Those that don’t fly a paramotor cannot really appreciate just what an achievement this was. Big respect from England.

@univisiontech1 3 месяца назад

Not a paramotor pilot here, just curious, why is it difficult? Is it the cold or is it that your limbs get numb/hurt from the harness/seat? I do long distance motorcycling from time to time and when my fuel is running low, I thank whichever God for that gas station stop lol

@scudrunneradv3269 2 месяца назад

I’ve never flown a para glider but have made my living flying fixed and rotor wings for the past 39 years. When you landed at the EDE airport I thought to myself how familiar it looked as you walked up the steps of the old base building. I immediately knew where you landed. I flew UPS contract freight from 1989 to 1993 from RDU to EDE to MQI 6 days a week. I watched the sunrise hundreds of mornings over Roanoke island and the outer banks. I still live in eastern NC and fly out of RDU. Always wanted to try one of those things. I’m enjoying watching your channel. Safe flying.

Awesome trip! Thanks for taking us along!

@user-pi8us8dp3b 26 дней назад

a Year ago this was posted... wow. There is NO up side to running leaner than 50 to one oil. Put the oil in first. Seriously. It needs to be mixed in to make a solutions not just in there. The things you do that are "good enough" blow my mind. The fact that you are still alive means this is a great sport. I cant wait. Thanks for sharing.

@automan1223 Год назад

When I looked into doing this 20 years ago 20 mph was considered a "fast" wing... Even with a tail wind that mileage is impressive !!

@robertworkman5620 Год назад

Like the cross country flying video and your thought process as you go. Beautiful scenery also.

@moonsynth Год назад

Love this longer format when you have an adventure like this! Like the details of XC flight too.

@Enhsr50 Год назад

Congratulations! Nice flying, apparently no motor-outs or other gear problems. Just pure air time. Nice video and well narrated. Thanks for sharing.

@dannywest9256 Год назад

I freakin love it bro! Not much excites me these days but when i seen this a few months ago, I’ve been hooked since. Safe travels!

@davidquinn696 Год назад

That was a cracking video, a real pilots pilot effort. Fantastic endurance, really brave flying over the ‘boonies’ and amazing views. As good as any Icarus video. As a nitro owner I was impressed with both the reliability and efficiency. A great job

@nedmacallen Год назад

Just started watching can’t wait! It’s like you did your own mini wing man challenge. Hell yeah!

You flew right over Murpy. My Mom lives there, so I've flown in that area a few times. Gotta love those smoky mountains.

@heartsky Год назад

Congrats, that's got to be at least one record. Very enjoyable to watch and extremely impressive, that's an epic couple days of flying.

@MotoFlyGuy Год назад

sick xc. when I saw your post on paramotor I assumed it has Harley. lol . I was just in Rodanthe camping with the family. in your video I could see the koa campground I was staying at and also the little islands I was doing touch and goes on. I flew to kitty hawk while I was there as well. video is up on my youtube.

@user-uy4su4lv5x 10 месяцев назад

I am also a fellow pilot, but have never flown cross country like you have. Props to you.

@michaelgarrison7604 Месяц назад

Great video, loving the current cross country videos as well. I recognised the gas station where you crossed the fence. I used to work on that flashing light over the intersection. Frying pan tower was really cool as well. Longer sections of scenery with music please.

@pentachronic Год назад

Awesome trip Mark. Haven’t watched anything of yours for a while because that Tucker bloke has been stealing my youtube time with his Base Jumping shenanigans!! Looking great out there. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures. Great video work BTW.

Just got around to watching this one and it was really cool. The Smokies are so beautiful. The commercial aircraft was kinda intense although I know you had it completely under control. Thanks for the amazing videos and stay safe brother.

175g is definitely the one. Your Pumpkin looks like mine. About time for a new one.

@MarkHuneycutt Год назад

agreed!

@MrBrandoncal Год назад

Much love and miss you guys! Incredible video! Would love to see you do California straight across from Lake Tahoe, but I gotta think that would be tricky and you'd need the perfect weather or the haze in the valley would suck. Anyways, we'd pick you up and put ya'll up. 😉

@MarkHuneycutt Год назад

Thanks for the offer

@RazingthenRaising Месяц назад

You flew close to my house on the first flight. This is neat to see!

@ironeagletrike Год назад

Well worth the watch, had to break it up a bit but now have seen the whole thing, Epic!

@RiDankulous Месяц назад

I watch this before, but it’s fun to watch it again too. It’s pretty relaxing and enjoyable. My parents used to live in Southport, which is basically the extreme south east of North Carolina, but they were inland 3 miles now they live in Florida, but like North Carolina better. There’s more family in Florida though.

@kamleshjethwa4151 Год назад

wow, that was an epic long flight

@tacohikes9692 Год назад

That's amazing. I watched the SC crossing video first, I think I could try that eventually, but NC is so much bigger.

@Alex-lv7rq Год назад

This is so sick, Mark! I'm a paramotor pilot in NC and have been following you for a few years. Lets fly sometime! blue skies

@MarkHuneycutt Год назад

definitely!

@MahaBali7975 11 месяцев назад

Guys I am a newbie and totally confused about machine and wings. I want the safest stable wing just to start flying which can cope turbulences. I live in an inland country above 300m sea sea level. Flattop was my choice but others also contradicting it's performance, totally confused!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯

@kamleshjethwa4151 Год назад

Great video Mark,this detail info graphics very interesting .that seems really long flight.

@chuckeelhart1746 Год назад

@alexjackson1809 Год назад

Bro I can’t wait to get out of school and get a paramotor. I can’t wait to just go on random adventures like this

@tonym992 Год назад

Absolutely incredible! I’ve just started paramotoring. I can’t wait to really start exploring.

@MarkHuneycutt Год назад

I just got a lighter sleeping bag and an SOS Zoleo device for texting/calls when I have no service. Adventures just got more remote! Exploring is my favorite

@PonderB Год назад

Can’t sleep so found myself watching this one a second time. Great job posting trip stats throughout the video. I’ve been looking for a good long distance trip and I’m almost sold on getting me a rig. I keep imagining going to Vegas from Nashville cause my folks live there. Would be pretty sweet to land in a field near there house. Thanks man!

@MarkHuneycutt Год назад

do it!

@PonderB Год назад

@@MarkHuneycutt Eventually it will happen. Head scratcher why I don’t see more folks doing this. You know anyone who hops from lakes to landing strips on some sort of amphibious ultralight? I imagine that would increase options for cross country travel. Trick would be having an engine that would burn regular gas or just carry oil mix I guess. I’m not to knowledgeable on those details but slowly learning. Seems like your journey across NC was about equal or slightly less than time it would take to drive. Very cool! Happy New Year man

@MarkHuneycutt Год назад

@@PonderB Yea these fly pretty slow so not much better than a car and harder to do. I have looked into ultralights that can land on water. They're expensive but would be cool to have so you can land anywhere. Check this one: airtimeamphib.com/the-cygnet-3/

@TheVanlander Год назад

Epic my dude!!

@MarkHuneycutt Год назад

Thanks yo

@swish007 Год назад

man the pier in rodanthe that you landed near is right near the spot i used to go on vacation every year as a child. it brought back memories! there's really nowhere quite like the outer banks.. it's crazy seeing just that strip of land going onto infinity with endless water on either side

@MarkHuneycutt Год назад

it's quite a crazy landscape

@THE-APEX Год назад

Well executed airmanship all while staying within the envelope of safety. Although not yet rated for Paramotors, I wonder if the new Flair Moustache 15m would be more efficient? More airspeed, but more fuel to keep you aloft? Great adventure!

@MarkHuneycutt Год назад

Problem is no trims on the Moustache. You always have to be hands on or else you're at full speed

@jbrownson 2 месяца назад

Fun adventure, thanks for the video

@Rico11b 7 месяцев назад

Desperately needs to have a removable fuel tank. That is a MUST HAVE!!! Also, to save space and weight. Plan your flights and you're landing spots to refuel. Then premeasure your oil in tiny disposable containers so you can dump and go and fill the tank without having to think about anything. You won't have to bring that large jug of oil or the mixing bottle. When fueling, add the oil to the tank first, then adding fuel will mix it properly. When planning, have a primary landing/refueling spot and an alternate.

@MarkHuneycutt 7 месяцев назад

Removable fuel tank is nice in theory for certain situations. The Parajet Maverick large frame has a removable tank. Weakening fuel connections by continuously removing it would concern me overtime. I do plan a primary fuel stop but due to the nature of how fast and affected by wind we are, I have to have multiple options and a lot of oil in case weather forecasts are wrong. I could definitely add oil first but I do it after to have an accurate ratio to whatever I pump in the tank. These fuel tank markings are fairly inaccurate. Getting ratio slightly wrong probably isn't a big deal, though, if I aim for a 50:1 estimate then dump oil in first. If I don't add enough oil, then I'm getting closer to my usual 66:1. If I add too much, it's probably okay but could foul plugs and decrease fuel efficiency.

@wellsd1959 Год назад

Excellent video! May be silly, but I'd like to see a video of people's reactions and questions.
