In this YouTube video, Russell Hanson and several participants review a paramotor flight session over New Jersey using a Parajet Maverick. The conversation centers on the pilot’s landing experience, noting a high flare and hard impact on the legs, and explores ways to achieve a lower, smoother landing. They discuss the lack of prior taxiing practice and the importance of ground handling skills. Guidance on throttle and brake coordination is shared, emphasizing gradual throttle control and keeping hands up to avoid hard ground contact. As the sun sets, the group considers whether to attempt another flight, weighing the pilot’s readiness and the diminishing daylight.

Chapters

Okay, I guess, I guess one thing I had trouble with last time was I felt like I flared too high, and I feel like I came down kind of hard on my legs.
I don't know, maybe we can do some kind of like low landing thing.
I don't know, like, like, I don't think I've ever practiced taxiing, frankly.
So yeah. Sure, yep. Yep.
Yeah, that was awesome. That was fun. Next one.
Okay, well, we can set up for another one. I'm going to see if, uh, if he wants to fly. Does that help?
Yeah, yeah, I, I mean, the couple of like, uh, approachings were good.
Yeah, yeah. And that's just more, you know, holding your brakes up and using the throttle. And you've got that throttle really dialed in and you can start, you know, gradually—
and just so you never hit the ground, you always keep your hands up.
You can leave the wing like on this side or— I think we're going to the car basically.
You're done?
It's— the sun's almost down.
You can take another one if you want, see where he goes.
Yeah, okay. Sure, that's fine. Yeah, awesome. Cool, thank you.
