Combine the simple elegance of a modern paraglider with one of the backpack
paramotor units and you have theability to fly when you want and where
you want. Paragliding is an exciting outdoor recreation sport for the
adventurer.
The
Power Pack
The motor that powers us to dizzying heights is nothing short of remarkable.
These lightweight engines have an incredible power to weight ratio, start
easily and are fitted onto a backpack that you can easily walk around
with. With one of these motor units, the propeller gives you thrust, allowing
you to launch, climb, fly level or glide down through the air on a paraglider
at your own will. These motors are some of the most powerful, yet low
maintenance aircraft engines you will find anywhere. They are rugged,
reliable and extremely easy to use.
Today's
paragliders are really amazing flying machines! In about five minutes,
a trained pilot can set a paraglider out onto a launch site and step into
flight that can last for hours, even without power. Add the motor, and
now we can fly just about any time of day!
The
first step in becoming a good PPG (Powered Paraglider) pilot is learning
how to control the paraglider wing. Mastery of this is paramount to our
success as a pilot, since we are flying an aircraft, after all!
Kiting
the wing overhead allows you to clear the lines before takeoff, and the
better you are at controlling the wing on the ground, the better your
understanding of flying the paraglider.
