July 3/16 – A few words from recent course graduate Kevin

Hi Andre,

Just a few thoughts I would like to share with you.

I can’t remember ever being challenged mentally and physically, where the effort equalled the results.

As I am not particularly gifted, you were able to train me and help me meet the course criteria within the time allotted and no injury or catastrophe. This really is a credit to your knowledge and experience from the beginning including getting the correct equipment to the in-flight instruction.

You have giving me the gift of flight which will stay with me forever.

Kevin

July 3/16 – Testimonial by Ryan B

Much much thanks to Andre for his excellent training. He is very a knowledgeable, skilled and patient teacher. The course was challenging and frusterating at times but his experience and advice helped me the get through to the really fun part! If you are interested in learning about PPG, Andre is your man. He will give you a solid foundation on which to build your skills and enjoyment of this awesome sport!
Thanks again Andre!

June 27/16 – Order parts

I will be away from July 2 to July 7 and again from July 18 to Aug 15. Powered Paragliding Ontario will be closed and I will not be able to supply any parts. You may want to order spare prop and cage section so you are not down for a month if you break something shortly after July 18.

June 26/16 – Short Tandem this morning

Bob is a local guy who’s wife purchased Tandem flight for him for Xmas. We got together this am, wind was already 10 km/h when we took off and after climbing through rough air we have parked our selfs at 1000 ft and could not move at all. It was more like hot air balloon ride. After 15 min I have decided to land as it was not fun and wind was picking up even more. Will try again soon.
