Documentary on the 2012 FAI World Paramotor Championship
Last summer FAI held the 7th World Paramotor Championship. The event brought the best powered paraglider and powered parachute pilots in from around the world to compete for gold, silver and bronze medals. The event was held in Marugán, Spain and naturally drew on mostly European pilots. However, competitors also showed up from as far ...

I-Tec, manufacturer of the Maverick roadable powered parachute special light-sport aircraft (S-LSA), has filed a petition for exemption to permit an additional weight allowance.

Michael Purdy talks with Mike Robinson, the owner of Paratoys. They talk about three new engines: the 172 Talon, the MZ 34 and the Helcat 360. All three are cutting-edge designs which will have a big impact on different segments of the powered paragliding arena. They also provide the latest details on the biggest PPG Flying event in North America - the Paratoys Fly-In at Salton Sea, California.
Doug Fetters, Sport-Link Communications Corp. (1/4/11)
A frustration for some pilots moving from general aviation to more fun flying is that the headsets bought for flying GA airplanes normally don't work on sport aviation intercoms and handheld radios, even with adaptor plugs. Doug Fetters explains why that is and offers a solution to the problem. (And no, the solution isn't, "Buy all new equipment.")
Maverick Goes Mega-Viral!
The dark horse, literally, to claim the Flying Car throne is the all-black I-Tec LSA-certified Maverick Sport. We’ve talked about it here a lot, and now the “airable” dune buggy seems to really be catching on with the public. I-Tec turned the flying car concept design on its head by designing a lightweight off-road car first: ...
A Million Plays for EAA’s ‘Maverick’ Video
“Gone viral” is a catchphrase that gets tossed around quite a bit, but over the past two months, an EAA video many of you have seen has done just that. “Maverick Flying Car at Oshkosh,” posted to EAA’s video player on October 13, 2010, surpassed one million views over the weekend, becoming the first offering ...
