Did the usual first day stuff. My ground school is getting better and better. Big screen TV and pretty nice Keynote presentation. Definitely more sophisticated then sheets of paper hanging on the wall by clips… Andrew in simulator
I just want to share with you what a purchase of used PPG gear on line can turn out to be. This kind of thing happens more often then you think. Recent student, David, had no PPG experience when he purchased his gear on internet from some folks in Texas. This was supposed to be well […]
Greg started with his paramotor training late November and managed first flight early December. Greg got nausea so bad the another flight was out of question that day. Then I put my gear away for the winter so today was the day when we will see if the nausea was a fluke or whether that […]
This afternoon Darren came back for his second training day. Started at 2:30 pm and by 6 pm Darren had it down. Darren ground handling We have strapped the motor on at 6:15 and by 6:30 Darren was flying for the first time. Great take off and even better landing. Darren after first flight Congrats […]
At 7 am it was bit warmer at the field – 2 celsius. Still cold though. We had slight wind from SE for the first 3 flights. All nice forward take offs and landings. The last flight was reverse then it got too bumpy to continue. Good job, David, on adding g 4 more paramotor flights […]
The evening session did not turned out so well. We have discovered that on David’s motor, fuel is leaking from carburetor onto muffler – not good. Did not want to turn David to Katniss from Hunger Games. We waited for wind to come down but it did not! Damn – forecast was good. Crap! We […]
So weather finally started to co-operate. This morning we started at 7 am. No wind – 5 Celsius. Brrr. Where is spring? By the time we set up very very slight breeze. I was hoping that David did not forget anything in the 2.5 days that we could not do any flying due to high […]
I feel bad for David. He purchased his gear online and it was not the way it was advertised. We had to pretty much fix everything on this motor. But we got it done. She is now running like a charm! David is ready to fly, we need the wind to come down but it […]
Hey Andre, Thanks again for a great weekend! Flying was awesome. I really appreciated your safe approach and it was great being able to trust you with everything. Thanks! Aaron See more here.
The plan was to fly foot launch using my gear. Also assemble the Flat top and S trike and either just ride it to get used to it or if weather cooperates to try some trike taxiing. We tried to start Davids motor but it was giving us all sorts of troubles. After investigating further […]
