Any other powered parachute fans out there?

Dave, is there where I introduce you to my shrink? ;)


Looks cool. Love to fly, but I like things with WINGS on it! :D

I know I need a shrink but not for flying.
Rated the safest ultralight in the world. Take off in 200' or less.
When flying, my parachute is always deployed.
Check out the new ones!

I love aircraft, have flown RC most of my life (off and on) A buddy and I even made a couple of RC powered chutes many years ago. His got tangled in the prop on the first take-off try. I went on to simply fly my chute like a kite. It'll damn near pull your arms out of the socket when level with the horizon.

This is something that I wish I had the doo-dads to do. Go for it, Dave and enjoy. You are certainly in the country to do this, I'm jealous. I'm afraid I'm earthbound unless my life changes dramatically.

Looks cool but I think I'll stay on the ground. Yes I know I'm a weenie but I prefer to be down here where my legs are more useful.
