I love it, nearly the perfect wing for me the efficiency is insane and lightweight fabric is just so nice!

@TuckerGott Месяц назад

This glider in a larger size would be so good for electric!

@omariameer2834 Месяц назад

Hi. What is the better electric or gasoline paramotor and why. How many kg electric paramotor

@TenMillionYearProgram42 Месяц назад

Sweet! Have my eye on this or the XC for my next wing, so I was hoping you’d have a review soon, Tucker! Thanks as always, brother!

@butchdavis2703 Месяц назад

Great review Tucker. That wing is sweet. I love ozone products.

@RickMarbury4 Месяц назад

The flying pickle!

@templeton3504 Месяц назад

ha first to hit the ground will be a Pickle Wreck not to be confused with a Pickle Rick

@CaptainPeterRMiller Месяц назад

Fabulous, Tucker. You rock.

@huntersiagames6028 Месяц назад

It’s been quite a while since I watched your content, I forgot how cool paramotoring was

@micahwahlquist9485 Месяц назад

I love the color, and how it matches with the paramotor 🤙

@adam-newbloom Месяц назад

Nice review. I'm planning to demo one from Aviator this month. Appreciate the thoughts ahead of time!

@dronko-fire-blaster Месяц назад

very nice video, I just had a dream were I was paramotoring arend are house and was useing the electronic one you review not long ago, I also had a flaim thrower while doing it to.

@simonhales631 Месяц назад

Thanks for highlighting the defenses here. I would be interested in step up type videos such as Spyder to a Sirocco etc. I personally would look at something like this for my progression over time and I am sure others also.

@baritone_vocalist Месяц назад

Looks good!

@mmcowan Месяц назад

I’m looking forward to flying one! But, I’m also digging the Freeride 2 / ViperXC quiver.

@TuckerGott Месяц назад

Same! It's such a great combo. The Viper 6 is almost like a Viper XC Pro.

@robbie172006 Месяц назад

I can’t wait to get into this hobby

@GarysnewYT Месяц назад

Wow, Almost $5,000 just for the wing, extremely expensive, no way man.

@gregvence7356 Месяц назад

This was great to have an awareness of what I could get into in the future. For now, if you have any opportunity to review the Ozone Trike wings, I'd really appreciate it.

@BuzZzKiller Месяц назад

My Viper XC arrives Wednesday, can't wait! Thanks for helping me out with the order. Did I hear you correctly, can we really request demo wings?

@TuckerGott Месяц назад

Stoked for you! And yes. It depends on what is available but feel free to shoot me an email!

@mikepierce1228 Месяц назад

Great vid…. Again. Acro experienced pilots only I heard. Perfect intro and reminder that this could be bad medicine for the casual enthusiast that just likes defying gravity. Looks like an Icarus wing to me…. hint hint👍🏻. Great vid Mr. T!!!

@jordanschanze Месяц назад

That 16m size sounds like a blast!

@sprwhwk Месяц назад

Every time your upload notif comes up I immediately want to get out flying again 😆

@scottkint Месяц назад

Good Morning!

@DAS-Videos Месяц назад

You sent your heat wave to us. It hit 93 degrees in central NJ.

@berean66 Месяц назад

Could you do a deep dive on the difference between standard and PK risers? I’m seeing more gliders available with the pk but not a lot of info on what they are exactly. I don’t have dozens of wings available to demo, so a quick video on them would be helpful. Thanks!

@SMarti018 Месяц назад

PK just adds another pulley and allows you to release the trimmers and bar in one push of the bar

@turkeyphant Месяц назад

What is fuel efficiency improvement over the XC?

@fasst45072 Месяц назад

Viper 6 is the first glider in years that put a big smile on my face immediately

@BingGeaux Месяц назад

Thorough. Great review and information! There are no dealers in Louisiana, want to help me and a couple other adventurists start a dealership?

@michaelbartlett1589 Месяц назад

I’d love to know what your cruise RPMs are on the Viper six versus the Viper XC same size wing.

@timowedel5117 Месяц назад

I have a few questions regarding propeller and cage sizes: 1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using 1.30m propellers compared to 1.40m propellers? 2. Which propeller size do you personally prefer and why? 3. Does a larger cage significantly impact flying performance? Thank you for your insights!

@Michael-xz8tp Месяц назад

im thinking about getting the moxie, i have the mojo pwr 2 right now. If i want more safety and stability, would the moxie be the right choice?

@kamenomagic Месяц назад

Are there any glider (foils) that are reinforced with a frame? I guess there's kite surfing kites that have that like inflatable leading edge. I was just wondering if that was a thing especially in high speed gliders, to prevent collapse, but I'm not sure how well that would even work

@AlFastguy Месяц назад

How it compares to airdesign eazy 2?

@anthonyburke5656 Месяц назад

Hi, good review Tucker, the “design trade-offs” adequately commented upon. I suspect the “hardiness” of this wing, but it’s not for me anyway.

@Kent-pb2jl Месяц назад

Glad to see performance improvements but every company is always touting handling and efficiency like its off the chart but in reality its a marginal improvement. One big improvement is margin$. Crazy how light the material is but then you get companies like GIN using 40g material and they still launch superbly well.

@Simonsc652 Месяц назад

Hello, have you tested the proton paramotor? I am very light weight and am doing my paramotor license in germany right now. I cant find a good paramotor matching my weight. Do you know about such paramotors which could possibly match?😂

@evancrowley84 Месяц назад

Seeing as how Icarus was one of my major inspirations to get into flying, would you go so far as to say that the Viper XC is for the pilot that wants to complete the race, and the Six is for the one that wants to win it? Either case there will probably be something new by the time I'm ready to step up into that range of glider so I probably shouldn't worry about it 😄

@TuckerGott Месяц назад

That’s tough. The difference in efficiency and speed is probably small enough that other real world factors would make it so either could win. But in a perfect world in controlled conditions, yes. The 6 would win.

@shanesplanetshane3795 Месяц назад

I wonder how this one compares to the Wasabi? Its quite noticeable, the difference between an efficient glider and a fast reflex. Engine rpm at cruise and fuel burn especially. I find the efficient gliders like to dance with the wind, the less efficient, tend to just push the air out of the way.

@JimTheKid Месяц назад

Yo Tucker

@evan010101 Месяц назад

Might be good for the electric rig?

@TuckerGott Месяц назад

Definitely.

@jackycruz8664 Месяц назад

❤

@paramotorhead Месяц назад

What do you feel are the major differences between this and the Viper XC? They seem similar other than the unsheathed lines and fabric.

@TuckerGott Месяц назад

They are definitely similar. I think the 6 is a little more playful and a little more efficient. Then the difference in materials makes the inflation easier.

@stanleybest8833 Месяц назад

If I had a butt fan, I'm sure I'd have to build a rigid doped fabric wing and tail feathers for it. I don't see how you maintain those fabric envelopes flight after flight after flight. I'm also curious about the glide ratio. It can't be that good.

@jayclose8365 Месяц назад

I was going to buy an XC, then heard the 6 was coming out. I'm trying to determine which one is more appropriate for me since they seem almost the same. Should we be thinking of this as an upgraded XC? Or are there reasons I would still want to consider the XC over the 6 (other than fabric durability)?

@TuckerGott Месяц назад

Good question. The 6 kind of feels like an XC pro. Slightly better in every category, but less durable and more nervous in turbulence. I think the XC is better as an every day if that’s your goal. The 6 is better if performance is your goal.

@joncollier1934 Месяц назад

Electric paramotor endurance test!!!!

@TuckerGott Месяц назад

Already sent it to the giveaway winner though.

@joncollier1934 Месяц назад

@TuckerGott oh I know but I was a great baseline known value of input that would've been ideal to evaluate new gliders :)

@jimsimard Месяц назад

How's it compare to the xc?

@TuckerGott Месяц назад

It’s like and XC pro. Slightly better all around at the sacrifice of probably less durability and more nervous in turbulence.

@jimsimard Месяц назад

@@TuckerGott thx

@BillyBoy66 Месяц назад

Gear reviews are ok, but I really miss the shenanigans/trips/adventures. Got any of those coming up? Not complaining, just asking.

@TuckerGott Месяц назад

Planning to do a road trip north this summer.

@SkidzFPV Месяц назад

Most expensive glider at $4,700??🤣. I know you probably only fly PPG, but they have at least 3 PG gliders I know of well over $6k. I don’t fly ozone currently but my glider was $5k. I do want to get a butt fan at some point to get some flying in after work, or when I can’t get out to the launch site.

@chrisbajema8002 Месяц назад

That answers that question… it’s above my skill level and outta my price range

@Diamondrag0n Месяц назад

You need to go eat another sky burger

@m.r.6229 Месяц назад

I know.

@TadBixby Месяц назад

Tucker, where did the paraglider Wing come from? Ask Amy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sKt-UyNwQHw.htmlsi=9k3ZjIqc6EzP7b_W

@AlFastguy Месяц назад

Unsheated lines are a NO NO! These will tangle most impossible way and you untangle these already 15 minutes! Big time loss When wind starts to build up. Been there with apco f1

@invisibleriverranch Месяц назад

i want low performance just there and happy

@TuckerGott Месяц назад

The Mojo is perfect for that. 🤌

@mendi1122 Месяц назад

You forgot to mention in the conclusion the word "advanced". Should be "If you're an advanced pilot that loves xc..."

@petergreis Месяц назад

Looks like a Photon with trimmers…

@davidmack8813 Месяц назад

That price oh, a bargin at 1/2 the price. . . .

@Ricphil Месяц назад

@CharlesVanNoland Месяц назад

The Viper XC eh? You know what rhymes with "XC"??? EDIT: I know this vid's about the Viper 6 and not the Viper XC. Do you know what word has the same first-and-last letters as "SIX" ???
