i am thinking of making a powered paraglider from a sooped up
50 motor. all the paragliders are 2 stroke and it is just a matter
if time b/f some ones uses race minibike motors for this application.
they have no trans and sometimes no clutch, with just a belt reducer.

i found a guy in the UK who makes the only 4 stroke on the market.

mine i think will be a trike, i am a long way off from this but
got started last night by winning a bid on two wings.
i have to get them checked out. if they are OK it was a killer deal on
a ground practice wing and a nice wing that was 2k new.

anyway just wandering if there are any pilots here?

check this guys recumbant paratrike.

I wish I did, and actually wouldn't mind getting into it. When I was up at Jackson Hole last week they were launching off the top of JHMR and it looks like a blast. Too bad even the tandem rides were $200 :p
