I bought a harbor freight Predator 212 engine for a homemade DIY paramotor experiment 5 years ago and pulled it off the shelf to give it another go.

  1. You should change it for a 2 stroke engine it works better and faster and will get you in the air better

  2. Brother I seriously think that your length of propeller is shorter then needed you need to add atleast 1 foot longer. Then this

  4. Hoax do you forget to hold the toggle while launching? Lmao 🤣😂

  5. By the looks of things. If that thing flys you will be breaking the law of physics. The propeller looks TO SMALL just some thing else you have which means you can’t GET OFF…..

  7. You did it, but it was not enough power from the engine, although you could show that with that little force you would be able to take off. Congratulations, if you start making another one and with a little more power, you would surely fly well. I would use a slightly more solid frame and a minimum 15 hp motor.

  9. Dude your prop is so small 🤷🏻‍♂️😁 is that because the motor is so weak or just because you didn't want to buy another? Nevertheless amazing achievement! 👏

  11. I pay homage to the to this flying machine. But, have you considered putting on a larger propeller and attaching it to a aluminium flat bottom boat?
    🌏🇦🇺

  13. Always great to see Jonas and Silvija in the video together. Then, no matter what happens, it's still all good.

  14. I applaud you for not being afraid to have a go at things.. But please don't kill yourself…

  16. There is a reason you DON’T put your life in the hands of $100 Harbor Freight engine. Without a muffler in that cold air you’re gonna burn valves or break rings, rest assured something isn’t going to go right at the worst moment. 🙈

  17. Actually do yourself a favor and throw that junk you welded together in a shredder or go free flying might be a good idea to

  18. Any chance your in canada I'll send you a propeller bigger than that lol

  19. This is like me with my electric paramotor ha ha! DIY, hasn't actually flown yet, but think it will. I would kill for a field like that here!!

  20. tsjaak, line gets caught…." that's a common thing to a paramotor" …. hahaha, kick the bucket again with safety first! Only common for paramotors without netting protection and made out of PVC

  22. i think his wife has a very large insurance policy on him without his knowledge!! lol

  23. Youtube stopped recommending your videos in my feed for some unknown reason two months ago. Had to come looking for you. I'm glad you're both still at it, Jonas!

  25. Can't you make a spacer to move the prop back and have room for a simple exhaust? Is there risk of burning the exhaust valve with no exhaust, and does it rob power? I know its not like a 2 stroke, but shouldn't 6 hp get you close to 5000 rpm?

  26. I have heard that Jonas groan when the strings sucked in many times… in the snow, crashing the plane, too funny! Great work, stay strong!

  27. Thats a funky sounding engine. I was expecting to see a nerd running by, maybe a fox wearing socks. Even a south going Sax would not look out of place.

  30. We're out paragliding several times a week around the Boise area (if you want to see what actual flying looks like 😉 )

  31. Crazy guy, so cool and funny !!! Excellent you'll success! As you said, technically you did it !! I DO LIKE you're video… Thanks do much!

  32. You do need some kind of exhaust outlet pipe even if it does not have a muffler. Otherwise, cold air will get into the combustion chamber and warp the valves. I would estimate that you should have at least a 12 inch exhaust pipe. You can make it with a sharp bend so that it does not hit the prop.

  33. Bad idea trying to spin a cast iron flywheel at 4,500 + RPM . . . they are known to come apart at those speeds

  35. …I hope your luck doesn't run out any time soon.. Sorry man, this was foolish at best.

  36. You need a short pipe to direct the exhaust. Its mostly to prevent thermal shock to the exhaust valve(s). It will in this case need to be a 90 degree to clear the prop. Get a prop sized and pitched for a vw engine. This is just to control tip speed as you removed the governor from the carb.

  38. Concept is sound. 5000 RPMs the propeller tips may be going through the speed of sound making more noise than thrust. A semitar propeller may solve the compressability problem, but a re-drive unit and a longer propeller may give you the thrust you need if the engine has the power. What you are needing to to do is recreate a HIRTH engine. Why not. These Harbor Freight engines are cheep and hop up parts are widely available. People run Gyro-copters on Harbor Fright 25HP engines. Look forward to seeing your rig fly. 🙂

  41. Jonas I love your videos please don't attempt to fly this again. Get yourself a proper sized wing and a better motor the moster can be bought used very cheaply, and has huge amounts of power. Oh and never ground start bad things happen quick. Fly safe bud

  43. probably the AD is my favourite part of this vid ahahah!!! So funny xD

  46. This is the crap that will get this sport regulated. Get proper equipment, get proper training and don't be a negative influence on the sport I love.

  47. I’ll give it to you. You are not a quitter. At least you are having fun. Don’t stop living and enjoying life.
