Paramotors (or Powered Paragliding)

[varocketry]

Hello all:

I haven't been posting much recently but I check in and read through things to try to stay roughly up-to-date. I really miss being active.

I moved to FLA two years ago and my principal time waster in retirement is flying PARAMOTORS.

It's real gas and we have lots of good flying weather down here on the Gulf coast.

Even do some sunset flights - the air is generally pretty calm and beautiful.

Be well!

I'd bust my ass trying to run fast enough to take off.

The sooner less people can run that fast the better .......I seem to live on a flight path for those things.
I didn't buy a secluded quite block of land to have f%#ckers peering into my back yard from the air ...and to be annoyed by low flying noisy winged go carts

I fly hang gliders NO MOTOR unless you are in FLA and being towed by a tug at Wallaby Ranch. But when you release you are flying by thermals alone and no more motor noise

Stay safe and fly far

I take it you haven't hung up a windsock to attract visitors.
Maybe in a couple more years the "noisy winged go carts" will have electric motors.

There is a guy that flies one of the hang glider type around here. Looks like a lot of fun. I have resisted trying it though as the last thing I need is another hobby.

The sky's the limit for the aviation rabbit hole.
What other hobby requires building a shed with a 40 foot wide door.
