    So, you want to fly ! Getting Started here are in fact many ways of getting airborne. Most of the wings and powered paraglider set ups do the same thing. I.e. get you in the air. Some Tare heavier, some have electric starts, some have centrifugal clutches so whilst the engine is running the prop is standing still, some have more power and some are strong enough to push two people. Heavier pilots over 100kgs will need a slightly stronger set up. Heavier pilots will also need a slightly larger wing and flying two up will require a separate wing designed for larger weights. ur weig o will h Make the important components yourself using our plans. Y determine t You’ll need someone with a lathe and milling machine. You have to make 2 pulleys, a mounting plate, 4 what engine we pillars and a camshaft and a few smaller accessories. The harness and propeller, depending on wood or supply you. Also at what altitude above sea composite variable pitch are freely available from us. A tuned pipe can be added for extra power or for level. The higher you heavier pilots. The accelerator, fuel tank and mounting rubbers are very cheap to acquire and make. A go the more power really cost effective design is using a go cart engine with our plans for its power output. The entire you usually need. PPG can be made for under R6000. Our CD has recommendations for building a PPG from of a de how m number of different engines.

    What it the motor quits? It's a glider, and glide it will! You'll obviously start descending but the glider flies about 6 feet forward for every foot lost (a 6 to 1 glide ratio). With minimal control input you'll be dropping less than 4 mph as you glide forward at about 20 mph. You can land in a space smaller than the average car so a motor failure is rarely more than an inconvenience. Flying Without the Motor Paragliding, or free flying, can be done using your same wing with a different harness. It is usually Fast Facts done in mountainous areas and ridges but can also be done by being towed up. But towing can be Altitude: Up to 18,000 feet although most pilots fly between 200 and 2000 feet. surprisingly dangerous. Never, ever try towing without using proper equipment and certified tow Speed: 20-35 mph although most fly about 25 mph. operations. Weight: about 65 lbs ready to launch including fuel. The wing weighs about 15 pounds but the pilot doesn't feel it. Free flyers use natures own energy in the form of rising air to stay up.

  • USPPA Training Syllabus
    Training Syllabus U.S. Powered Paragliding Association & U.S. Ultralight Association Copyright © 2013 USPPA, for use by USPPA/USUA instructors who may duplicate only for their student's use. Other duplication prohibited without written permission. March 12, 2013 This guide was designed with input from a wide variety of experienced PPG instructors. Even experienced paraglider pilots will benefit from its use understanding of the necessary information. Thanks to the schools and instructors whose expertise helped make this thorough yet appropriate. We've tried to place emphasis where accident data suggests it’s needed. Initialing each subgroup by the student and instructor helps track that the material was covered and understood by the student. It can be both a checklist and verification. Students should keep a log that records at least the date, location, motor, wing, inflation type, number of landings, time and maneuvers performed for each day of flying or, if more detail is desired, each individual flight. Items not covered during flight should be covered verbally on the ground. Items in Blue are for rehearsal. Items in red are of particular importance. *** For a Rating To Be Issued: *** Instructors: The appropriate signature block must be completed, and its image submitted, for any rating to be issued. Check the box to indicate that you covered (or verified that the student was already rated) previous syllabuses as appropriate. Previous syllabuses must be covered unless the student already has that lower rating. For example, for a PPG 2 rating, submit an image of the signed PPG 2 first page with the box checked indicating that the PPG 1 syllabus was covered.
