Hi all, I have sucessfully attached a paramotor to the Flexifoil KiteBuggy, and am flying my paraglider with it. It is very solid and stable, built
much better than other trikes used for flying. This buggy now has two uses!
Usually, I use a 22 meter wing to fly on, but the other day, I flew a very small 16 meter wing, and it was FAST!!! See it here:
Anyone wanting to 'Cross Over' to this can contact me anytime. Flying is best when the wind isn't blowing, so these two sprote compliment each other
perfectly!

nuckin futz!! That was FAST!! I have seen PPGs in person a few times and I have never seen one that fast... Good skill to land on such a small
beach too.... You gonna be at NABX07? I may have to pick your brain a bit....
Any close-ups of the motor mounted to the buggy frame? And what kind of wing?

Starts April 03, 2007 at Ivanpah Dry Lake, CA. The entrance is actually in Primm Nevada. For the best info. click on the link. http://www.nabx.net/awindofchange - 31-1-2007 at 02:04 PM
I must note that motorized vehicles are not allowed on Ivanpah as it is a restricted habitat. You are welcome to join in on the kiting festivities
but your powered glider would probably not be allowed.Chip - 31-1-2007 at 03:51 PM

You could bring it to show off how you did it, but not fly it.
If you've never buggied on a dry lake, it's nothing else, so much room to play!

And if you really have to fly a bit, you could always set a sail on the lake just north of Ivanpah called Roach. I don't believe they have any
restrictions, it's in Nevada.awindofchange - 1-2-2007 at 12:40 PM
Roach or Jean would be a great place to launch & fly your rig. Showing it off at NABX would always be welcome.goreo95033 - 1-2-2007 at 06:01 PM
Propellers are so 1900's. This paramotor has twin jet engines! :owoodneers - 1-2-2007 at 07:24 PM
