I see a few every year,looks fun.....if ya trust the wind,as a kiter I don't have THAT much trust in it.

We have a guy near us that rents a farmers field for the summer and teaches how to fly these contraptions. It's cool to watch them (from the ground):crazy:
I've seen them up when a gust of wind hits them from the front. Like being on a swing!!

Some of them are called powered paragliders. You just strap the motor to your back and go ,your legs are the landing gear

And so peaceful too..... BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

seriously, 120lbs of thrust on the back of a buggy (say, rigged on a separate trailer) - how much is that going to push you around in a buggy??

WELDNGOD - 3-4-2011 at 06:49 PM

Pushes 'em fast enough to take off,but w/ a large paraglider it's not that hard to get lift.
