  • Since I started flying PPG, I have wanted to take off from where I live. This day the winds were favorable and I went for it. Experienced some sink on the way out but it all worked out. #paramotor #boone #ppg

    Dude, thank God you are so fast on your feet because I saw a face plant coming!!!! I was doing that same thing for the longest time. Pulling up my Landing gear too soon. I had to make a conscious effort to leave my feet down until I clear trees.

    Are you flying roadster 3 ozone? I didn’t like that wing when I tried it

    • @jamesdodzweit

      Yes I am. I like its stability here in the mountains. I never worry about it collapsing.

    Boone, this time of year? Nah, you go ahead. Great views! W/NC is a gorgeous place to fly. Definitely sketch tho, specially as you go further west. I bet those fields look flatter from the sky, than they truly are. Come join me sometime in my little neighborhood(Hot Springs), or up in Greeneville. Blue Skies!

    Some one will copy this launch and could end up in trouble.

      This is actually a good suggestion. That music is terrible. Don’t know what I was thinking. It was free with my video editing software . . . Which was also free.
