    Great video and nice you have a ballistic parachute .... just in case you ever need it ! I've heard many say too much weight and I've never had any problems. Oh well to each his own I would rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

      The weight of parachute doesn’t count against weight limit of the aircraft.

    Where can these be bought? The Kolb website doesn't have a sales page

      You would have to call them directly if you wanted one new. They can be found used in good shape for 7kish

      When I called it in to the sherif’s deputy he said it’s not even the first time it’s happened in that area.

      Wings are a big target i guess. I wonder how much fun it would be when the guy in the airplane started returning fire. 😁

    Seeing your legs in that high altitude view really looks sketchy lol

      It was so cold it was unbelievable. I did make it to 10k feet a week or two later. It was July in Texas and I was wearing pants, parka, gloves, hat. The other dudes at the airport got a kick out of it. The part I left out is that I only had enough to climb up haha.

      What's the temperature at 10K and how that affects engine, aerodynamics at that height?

      @@learndesignwithdev it was probably in the 40s-50s. The Kolb with the 447 had no problems climbing that high either. It feels pretty sketchy up that high though, it felt like I was above the horizon in my little plane.

    That foot wear isn't a good idea.

      Some might say flying Ultralights isn’t a good idea either!
