Has any one tried "powered para gliding"?

We are heading to FL for a couple weeks and since my life insurance is fully paid up Sandy says I can try this. I am wondering if any one has tried this? It looks really cool and I met some guys doing it in LI last month and we talked for quite a while about how cool it is.
Any input would be great.

If anyone remembers "Flash" here on the forum, she was an instructor with these guys.
Enjoy your trip down to FL and up in the sky.

We talk about it regularly. Would be an awesome way to scout lakes on non-wind days. Not to mention just a ton of fun.

Ran into a guy the other day just after he crashed his. Wrecked the prop, the ring etc. No injuries tho.

I also had a powered parachute back in the late 90's. Powered parachutes (kite of like a kite buggy you sit in and fly) are not quite the same as a powered para glider (generally a back pack type unit), since they don't glide, but sometimes the usage of the terms gets a bit confused. My impression that the powered para gliders are higher performance, but also harder to fly, but things may have changed a lot since I was in that sport.
