Paramotor Training Third Day

I headed back out to the first place we trained to contiue my training. This was my third day of training with Dan Decker of PPGTennessee.com.

My Power Atlas wing is out for inspection so we used one of Dan's practice wings for more powered taxing. The practice wings is almost 30 years old and is a brut. I wore my shoulders out pulling the A risers for the launches.

I really need to get a better feel for the throttle controll. By the end of the runs I was doing much better. This wing comes up with a totally different feel than my wing. It was great practice.

Filmed these with the Sony Action Cam AS30 and iPad Mini. My daughter Ashlyn used the iPad and I tried a new mounting location for the Sony Action Cam, let me know what you think of it. Used iMovie to put them together.

Paraglider Finger Break Toggles Add-On

After trying to learn to manage break toggles, throttle, and A risers all at the same time I decided to try something a little different.

I saw these Finger Break Toggles on Ebay and decided to try something like them.

I added them directly to the original break toggles so I could use either option. They are great for training. It's a lot easier to just have my finger controlling the break lines and the rest of my fingers to handle the throttle and A-risers.

I used my iPad Mini to film and iMovie to put it together.
