Under Power Lines, SATs, and Desert Touch and Goes - UNCUT 

Yeah, I’m just kind of posting these as an after thought because I’m always rolling. Next time I’ll add some narration.

@@tuckergottuncut7180 Great. Your little story lines add a lot

​@tuckergottuncut7180 what do you think about recording directly into an audio recorder? Sync with a hand slap. You could essentially use the same video for each channel and wouldn't miss a reaction or whatever. You could have a specific reason for the audio or just make it random thoughts. You do great narration but these uncuts really help me focus more on the flight. I catch more like your head on a swivel. I can alsmot see sometimes when you're calculating a maneuver. I would probably watch each video too lol. I kind of get lost in the raw audio. Would make for good VR too!

@@87bones87agree.

Exactly. All of the motorcycle guys were stoked.

@@tuckergottuncut7180 Can you say, sales tactic?

Flat terrain, probably. But the mountains out here are so insane.

She barks hard. Even on the 14m.

I used to average 100 a year but now I don't fly as often.

I’m on East Coast US and it’s the same here. The wind speed won’t drop below 15mph most days, which has led me to flying in some air that I don’t 100% trust.

@drakeowen7860 You be careful out there Drake. Don't fly in unsuitable weather my friend.

In SWest London. On edge of Heathrow airspace. Bloody appalling weather. Managed only two short flights this year. Dust setting on Paramotor in shed.

@@reonvanwijk I’ve luckily gotten 3 flights this year. Two of them were nice and smooth but that first one rocked me around so much I didn’t make it back to the LZ and landed out in a field.

Yup! The 14m Freeride 2.

I work for The Power Company that owns the 500kv lines he flew under. I work under those lines and the equipment they feed every day. Voltage is a comparison of two different potentials. In this case it is either phase to phase (500kv) or phase to ground (284kv). If two phases of those lines were brought closer to each other they probably wouldn't arc to each other until they were at least 10 to 12 feet apart I'd guess depending on humidity or other factors. Tucker flying under them could only create the possibility of bridging one of the phases to ground, so that distance would be even less than 10 feet at only 284kv potential difference (phase to ground voltage) and that would be added between his distance from his feet to the ground and the distance from the top of his wing up to each phase line as he passes under. If he could stop and float under the line he may feel a little static like his hair trying to stand up or something, but he passes each phase so quickly, there's no way he feels anything. His biggest hazard here is hitting the tower or the line itself but close to the tower they are suspended about 90 to 100 ft high (they sag lower between towers) that's why he crosses under them close to a tower every time. Much more clearance distance. From what I'm seeing, Tucker is being smart about it. I see no more hazard here than when he flys under bridges in other videos.

@@air-edge awesome, thanks.

I ran an app one time and it was showing 6 Gs at peak.

It's the Desert Wells OHV staging area just East of the Renaissance Festival.

@@air-edge thanks man. I’ll have to try that one out. I mostly fly Buckeye, lots of grass fields out there, and Maricopa.

Maybe soon. 😤 Tune into my next RU-vid video, on the main channel.

Nope. Lower back hurts sometimes.

I want to know too; been there a few times, but want to know that LZ.

How many viewers are thinking to themselves "Hey. that is cool. I'll do that too?"

How would TG feel if someone tried to do the same foolish stunt and died? Post what you want but you have a channel that people follow you take some responsibility for saying “do as I do”. I’m a huge fan - been following since the very infancy of the channel but this time I say NO. Fair warning - fly smart - have fun.

@@GrahamRiverProductio Yeah - very good point. I love Tucker's content... but sometimes he crosses a line and I worry a novice pilot will try to do that stuff and get hurt or worse.

Often 😀

Ok just one SAT.

@tuckergottuncut7180 any chance you could make a video of doing a full sat, I do deep spirals and just haven't got the nerve yet to go full sat, would love you to show it

I think it’s fine. Almost everything I do shouldn’t be emulated without proper training and preparation.
