Do powered parachutes tip over on take off as paratrikes do? I crashed mine on take off and thought maybe powered chutes are harder to roll over. I truly enjoy your videos Scott.
Yes, they can tip over, especially in crosswinds. Part of the training to fly a PPC is to avoid those scenarios which could induce a tip-over and also to abort the takeoff if the parachute is rocking and not stable.
You showed a video once that showed where a jetliner crashed in Indiana. I saw a video of that airliner crashing, but do not know where it crashed. Could you tell me where just for my knowledge?
I want one so bad!! Love your videos because you fly over places I know.

Hey Scott I have yet another question for you. Do you know what the plug type on your comtronics helmet are called?
It's just a 1/4" mono audio plug.
Scott what are wind speed that you fly in. Do you mostly watch the wind gust? And at what wind speed.
I try to keep it 8 mph or under with no or minimal gusts (they are a real pain when laying out the parachute!).
