Powered Parachute flyers ?

[Dennis Garrett]

Broke down & bought one of these yesterday, been wanting one for some time. Gonna have a ball, low & slow. Got the Powrachute PC2000 with the E drive Rotax, 65hp.

Why don't you do a long cross country and give me a ride in that thing. I've looked in to those things, so many hobbies, so little money.

Dont want to sound like I'm ruining your fun, but we have an ultralight airport not far from me. These things seem as though theyre crashing every few days. I'm sure the powered chutes are a bit safer.

Now having said that...

I've been wanting to get into this for a few years now. Well, I really want to get/build a kit plane.

Dennis-



Looks like the same thing my uncle was a dealer for. Think of the fun you can have with a box of water balloons!!!

I think these are a little safer than ultralites. When they quit they fall, if the engine quits in Dennis's rig, it becomes a parachute. My uncle sold them for several years and never had anyone have an accident. SHould be great fun!
