Thread 1948669

These faggots should be strictly restricted to class F airspace, with well defined dimension and NEVER EVER LEFT OUT, sick and tired of avoiding them. Yesterday while flying a personal Cessna 310 from a buddy of mine and 3 weeks ago on the Dash 8 with the small airliner I fly for.

They shouldn’t be allowed in CLASS G!!!

something like that

>>1948669 (OP)
fuck you retarded faggot airplane flyer, the skies belong to unregistered ultralights without radio.

>>1948692
a 6 pound flying machine that literally fits in a backpack is really one of the greatest inventions ever. Imagine unironically owning a Cessna in 2023

>>1948669 (OP)
mountain bikers of the sky are paragliders
roadies of the sky are hang gliders
paramotors and microlights are more like motorcyclists of the sky
anyway cope and seethe you are the cagie of the sky and you shold know your place (stuck behind a sky cyclist)

>>1948692
i knew bacon was this based but i never knew the true extent of his basedness

>>1948669 (OP)
Not human powered. Not a 'cyclist' of any kind.
Try harder motorcripples.

>>1948795
Are skydivers downhill racers then?

>>1948966
yes
and wingsuiters are endurofags
pic related is a sky moped lol

>>1948992
forgot image

>>1948692
Good to see you're still here bacon, missed the horse pictures.

>>1948966
no that would be speedfliers

>still not human powered
>ergo still not a cyclist
KYS motorcripple

imagine spending millions of dollars on cars and seeing someone have more fun with 15 grand than you've ever had in your entire life.
"Zomg this lambo pulls 1.4 Gs!!!" Meanwhile I'm blacking out pulling 6 Gs on my paraglider ahahaha
CARS ARE A C TIER HOBBY. YOU SPEND TONS OF MONEY ON STATUS.
YOU'RE LIKE A WOMAN BUYING A PURSE. YOU ARE ACTUALLY FUCKING RETARDED AND GAY.

>>1949893
>imagine infighting amongst the weaklings known as motorists.
infinite KEK

>>1948750
Your use of "unironic" was not necessary in that sentence.

>>1949893
As a petulant whiney and emotional man-child Clarkson is a perfect representative for cagies.

>>1948795
>>1949893
these 2 posts clash with
>>1949828
>>1949897
but all 4 is incredibly based

Imagine spending tens of thousands of dollars on your PPL and you don't even have a paraglider or sim setup.
You don't love flying.
You're in it for status.

>Tucker Gotts friend dies paramotoring recently

Only a matter of time before he stops uploading

>>1950147
keep fantasizing coward, i'm sure good things will come to you

>>1950148
I dont want him to die in a crash i like his videos

Just feels like its fate desu

I'd far sooner save up to buy a cessna than one of these dangerous little things. I'll give you that they're neat, but the sky was designed for airplanes. Ask a friend who owns a cessna for a ride in it a single time over the mountains or the desert and I guarantee you'll change your mind in a heartbeat.

>>1950682
>omg low G!!!!
Vs
>pulling 4G in a spiral dive with a tandem paraglider
You don't know how to have fun

>>1951383
I don't really want to die from winds suddenly changing directions, and would much prefer an aircraft that I can actually use to travel across the US and visit friends in.

>>1948795
>you are the cagie of the sky and you shold know your place (stuck behind a sky cyclist)
hooting

>>1950682
>but the sky was designed for airplanes.
it wasn't designed at all an if it were it was designed for birds and dinosaurs

>>1951431
The sky was designed to hold up the heavens

>>1950682
Cesnas are lame

Show your pedal powered aircraft

>>1949809
absolutely unhinged just like downhillers

>>1950147
i always found that guy so hard to watch
theres so many other vastly less insufferable paramotortubers

>>1950176
big bird

>>1950682
yeah but this is more fun
ooh wagie cagies got his climate control while he sits there on autopilot for hours to go from one peice of tarmac to another
boooooringggg
>the sky was designed for airplanes.
it was designed for birds and a glider is the closest thing to a bird

>>1951415
planes are as vulnreble to the wind as any other aircraft
id have thoughta supposed pilot would know that?
and planes are a retarded way to travel just take a train lol

>>1951534
what does this even mean

>>1952237
im dissapointed this isnt a thing outside some crazy prototypes
id love a paraglider with a pedal powered propeller imagine how cool that would be

>>1952886
It couldn't even do level flight. The canopy doesn't make for an efficient wing

>>1948669 (OP)
can you practically use these for day to day travel?

>>1953413
>Can't fly safely when it's dark, excessively windy, or raining.
>Need space around where you're taking off and landing.
>Can't fly in high traffic airspace, like in towns.
They aren't particularly practical.

>>1953529
i heard that older paragliders have less trouble with rain

>>1953529
>Need space around where you're taking off and landing.
don't need much spaceu

>>1953868
Your rate of climb isn't great

>>1953413
Depends on how far you need to go

OP, APOLOGIZE!

>>1954381
It's crazy how the future of war seems to be slow ass shit just bumbling in and $200 drones dropping nades on $10 million tanks

op, when are you going to apologize

>>1954415

>>1951415
bicycle vs honda civic basically

>>1954550
The decline of the battleship in the face of missiles and the decline of the infantry garrison in favour of cavalry response legions also predicted this.

>>1953413
how much training do you need to learn to fly these and what happens during an accident not like falling off a bike
i heard these things collapse mid air too

>>1948795
>mountain bikers of the sky are paragliders
so can they go up from a lowground because my understanding was you can only glide down making them more like downhill mtb fucks

>>1957760
Most accredited PPG schools have about a week long curriculum. Ground school and theory, weather, communications, airfield operations, kiting practice, towing aloft, and then coached solos.

Go through the PPG bible and that should get you a good body of knowledge.

AIR GAZA says hello.....

Buy's literally one of the most harmless inventions on the market that isn't blacklisted on a watch list for interpol.....lol

Prolly had DHL deliver them to the Hamas Headquarters without a single glitch go off anywhere....

Can ship them anywhere and nobody thinks that they are an aerial assault weapon....lol

Top Kek telling OP to apologize....

If you actually think Hamas used paragliders to invade you are actually gay and retarded and under 6 foot and you should never ever attempt to pilot any kind of aircraft because you're not smart enough

>>1948669 (OP)
Class f? Canadian?

>>1948669 (OP)
These people always seemed retarded to me

>>1948795
>you shold know your place (stuck behind a sky cyclist)

If a plane is stuck behind a paraglider, the paraglider is gonna fucking die.

>>1953413
Not unless you live on top of a mountain.

>>1957762
you are extremely stupid
how are you on this board and dont know how a glider or a bicycle works?
>>1962608
the sky is more than big enough for all of us

>>1953413
i mean no but you cant with a plane or even a helicopter either
flying makes even less sense as transport than cars do
>>1953948
lol its incredible they climb at 45 degrees lol
if you cant find a place to take off and land one of these then you just arent looking hard enough
>>1954415
almost like the military industrial complex lied to us that they need billions of our tax money to develop stealth planes or whatever and real war is actually just about shit being simple cheap and practical
>>1954550
so did arma 3 lol
>>1957760
technically you dont neeeees any, yknow like a bike (depends on country)
but rly you should just join a school and practice kiting in your own time till the instructor says your ready
i mean its extremely cheap compared to a pilots licence and a plane
>i heard these things collapse mid air too
i heard bicycle fall over
i heard planes can spin
i hear helicopters get mast bump
just dont fly like a retard lol
and most importantly dont fly in weather that is above your experience level
thats what kills pilots
basically the same as any other aircraft or trying to hit jumps on a bicycle when you havnt learned how to yet
>>1957797
yeah this

>>1960315
ok lanklet goldberg
>>1961888
>refuses to elaborate

>>1962659
they can't climb?

>>1964619
>just dont fly like a retard lol
as a fully self acknowledged retard, I can't guarantee that, hell I can't stop myself from riding like a retard with a bike, I don't possess the self control to not fly like a retard

>>1964620
Atleast a lanklet can workout and become swole
A manlet is doomed for life
But sure, call me a kike for shitting on jewish lies dumbass

So gliderfags are on /n/ not /xs/?

I don't think so

underatandable desu im the same on my bike
but like a bike youre only endangering yourself so who rly cares

>>1967116
lol the copium levels

>>1967339

well its not that extreme
speedlfying is /xs/ tier but a paraglider is /n/

DOWN WITH REVEALING CLOTHES!

>>1975109
is this a bot post or what?
i dont get it
also his helmet is falling off under the weight of his goog (which he is wearing in broad daylight why?) looks silly

>>1949893
>t. cries every time they have to merge onto a freeway

What do you make of these things then? The new Dingo Ultralight.

>>1979129
The electric cyclists of the sky. The PPGs (cyclists) do not like them and neither do the aircraft (motorists). That said, they have their place too.

Would an electric paramotor powered by a hydrogen fuel cell be hearing safe?

>>1974817
Manlet.
>>1974407
People blackout spiralling often retard

>>1979477
First thing a midwit thinks is "electric" when they see a paramotor. Enjoy being 100 IQ you dumb bitch. You'll never have the balls or brains to paraglide

>>1981446
what does this mean?

t. not a paramotorist

.

>>1948692
Bacon what's stopping you from flying one of them? Not like you need legs to use

>>1951544
that doesn't look very safe

>>1948669 (OP)
I don't have the balls to take the ultralightpill. I have heard too many stories involving stall

erm...

>>1993804
Isn't that the youtube guy who shills for cage companies?

>>1975983
I think the helmet is just too small for him and he's tilting it forward to have the brim in the right spot even though nothing else is. Also it's really stupid to have ear cutouts and not be wearing earmuffs.
The night vision is the least silly part, after all it's only a matter of hours before it's dark again.

>>1948669 (OP)
On your toes zoomer

>>1951544
Why do they fly so close to the ground? Do they get lift from ground effect?

>>1964619
> i mean no but you cant with a plane or even a helicopter either

t. Never been to Alaska

>>1983442

>>1993804
ACK!
https://youtu.be/Y0JGDY1-qzY

>>1981446
You could probably make it work but the range and performance will be crap. Which is saying something because gas paramotors already have crap range.

>>2000378
Plenty of videos available on yt of electric paramotors being subpar for you to watch but you won't cause of your severe fluoride induced adhd

>>1952886
the thrust you'd get would be negligible compared to just the speed gained by pointing your glider downward
thats why it took so long for the plane to be invented, and by extension paragliders, because they have to have a shit ton of force while weighing nothing

planefag here, paragliders are based as hell
i wanna buy a cheap kit biplane with an open cockpit someday for light aerobatics
and i think wing walking is exceedingly based, theres a guy who gives lessons and lets you do it in the span of a single day
and its not that gay shit where you're strapped on top of the plane for the whole flight, you get out of the cockpit yourself and climb on the wings

>>1948669 (OP)
I love hot air balloons because it's objectively the most hilariously retarded mode of transport.

>>1964619
>>1954415
>>1954381
I'd take it with a grain of salt. They almost certainly just let the invasion happen as proven by massive shorting on the stock market just days before, so it's not that paragliders were somehow tactically advantageous and made a difference.

>>2004292
It was the first flying machine, respect your elders zoomzoom

gyrocopters are cooler

>>1948669 (OP)
So they are literal conservative heroes saving the world compared to your decadent faggot ass? Where can I sign the petition for the commission of their medals?

>>2002332
(nta) I'm legit surprised they're even still trying w/electrics at this point. Until there's some new breakthrough in energy storage (i.e. much better batteries) these things will always have either dogshit range or anemic performance. It's a miracle they can even get airborne in their current form.

>>1948669 (OP)
Can you fly these in BLM land? Like in the fuckin middle of nowhere in Wyoming? Is that class f airspace?

>>2012512
I thought the people from "Northwest Territorial Imperative" were burning down their own homes to pwn the BLM

>>1948692
Isnt this thing too dangerous to fly too high?

>>2012675
I wish they did to the urbanites but they are too lazy and wait for the urbanites to do it to themselves.

>>2012932
This but for urbanists

t. urbanite

>>1954381
this is Gaza? I had not seen this video until now. Hilarious paramotors, but sad how it's all rubble now

>>2006482
we're supposed to think the IDF simultaneously has the ability to manchurian candidate sleeper agents to assassinate heavily guarded VIPs in the heart of tehran and get away without being detected but also somehow can't spot a coordinated paramotor attack by hundreds of militants in their literal backyard, hmmmmmmmmm yep no one saw it coming! everyone rally around bibi, who definitely was not about to go to jail

>>2017310
you can buy paramotors online and store them inside a car...

>>2017321
supposedly the IDF can tell who is and isn't a hamas special forces operative with their super quantum entanglement brain wave detectors even if it's a 3 day old infant in the maternity ward that can't speak yet, yet they didn't notice that hundreds of hamas special forces operatives simultaneously ordered and trained on paramotors after receiving coordinated transfers from the IRGC, hmmmmmmmmmmmm

>>1950682
>Can hold more than one person (girlfriend/friends)
Women ruin everything, why would I want one gasping randomly every 10 seconds while I'm flying?
>Friends
Lol, lmao even.

Now I wanna see someone try a pedal-powered hybrid airship: the buoyant lift might reduce the thrust needed just enough to allow human-powered flight.

>>2022603
There's been some.

>>2022728
That looks unsafe

>>2024936
It doesn't look unsafe enough

>>2024938
needs moar mast bumping amirite? then you can blame the pilot for something that only happens in it. blimps are safe though.

>>2012270
you don't need power at all to stay airborne, just clever usage of updrafts
electric motors are small as fuck
https://openppg.com/shop/paramotors/openppg-sp140/
this one weighs 13 kg
so someone who weighs in at 70kg can pack this and 7kg of batteries to give him more freedom between updrafts and when they're flat he's still as efficient as someone who weighs in at 90kg in an unpowered paraglider

I’m OP, and I hate Jews. These are Jewish inventions and incredibly dangerously. That’s fine if you want to fly it. But if we collide. My plane and I will do just fine while you’ll be gone. Like motorcycles accidents with cars

nice digits but the real issue here is zionazis, people often get them confused because zionazis will call you antisemitic if they try to steal from you and you say no
