Paramotor Training Second Day

Got out for my second day of paramotor training with Dan Decker of PPGTennessee.com.

Switched up the location to T-Top Airfield in Eagleville, TN. This location has much longer runs that we were able to take advantage of.

Started out with more taxing by towing but using the longer runs. I was able to get more used to catching wing issues and correcting them. I also realized that I was paying far more attention than necessary to wing and not where I was steering the trike. To the point where I ended up with a good sun burn on my face since I was starring up at the wing so much and the sun was right there. Considering that the Sony AS30 Action Cam was pointing into the sun it produced some great videos.

By the end of the day I was doing better focusing on both direction and wing. Enough so that Dan thought I was ready to power up the Fresh Breeze Monster paramotor and try taxing without the tow. My final run was a solo taxi using the paramotor engine for the first time.

Filmed these with the Sony Action Cam AS30 and iPad Mini. Used iMovie to put them together.
