Review Master Powered Paragliding 1: Advanced Ground Handling (Kiting)
From Paramotor Magazine: Several years in the making, Jeff Goin’s latest DVD is the first in a series of four tuitional films aimed at pilots of paramotor and paraglider Wings. Master Powered Paragliding DVD #1 kicks the series off by focusing on that common bugbear: ground handling. With a cast of colourful and talented pilots, ...

Paramotor Review: 2010 Air Conception Ultra 130
This is the last one in a batch of reviews, clearing out a backlog that started at Beach Blast 2010. When I arrived at Paratour Eric didn’t want me to fly my machine, he wanted me to “pound” on his new super-lightweight Ultra 130–an electric-start, gear driven, clutched machine weighing in at a grand total ...
Paramotor Review: 2010 Paratour SD 2 Black Devil
Paratour has created a rig designed for foot-launch Tandems using the Black Devil 172, swinging a 51″ prop, with Electric Start. I flew it solo then again as tandem pilot. This review will cover both. For rules on Tandem operations please visit www.USPPA.org. My flights were done in FL at Fernandina Beach Airport. Thanks to ...
Paraglider Review: 2010 Power Pluto II 18
This is a new glider size by Axis that isn’t even really out yet, but I tried it in Florida and absolutely loved it. I liked it as much as the Katana but have a lot of experience on small Pluto’s larger sibling, the Pluto XS (20 m² flat, 16.8 m² projected), which is what ...
Paraglider Review: 2010 Nirvana Katana 16
Nirvana has made its name in the Motor arena by taking the high ground, offering high quality gear for at a premium price. They’ve taken the high road on wings regarding handling. This wing is most certainly NOT for beginners but experienced pilots who don’t mind flying fast and are up to the most response ...
Paraglider Review: 2010 MacPara Mac Jet 26
MacPara has a reputation for making gliders for motoring so it’s fitting that jumped into a more standard Reflex model with the MacJet. Unfortunately I didn’t have a GPS so I couldn’t do speed tests. I’ve ordered a Garmin Foretrex 401 that should help solve the problem and be able to always do speed tests ...
Paraglider Review: 2010 Pegas Power X 20
The Power X is Pegas’ targeted entry into motoring wings, specifically the realm of small, fun wings. Like many in this class, they’re intended for experienced pilots. At 19.5 m² flat (16.9 m² projected) it’s a hotrod even for my 150 pounds. I flew on a Blackhawk 172 weighing about 75 pounds so I my ...
Paramotor Review: 2010 FlyOhio Free Spirit Black Devil
Bruce Brown of FlyOhio.com has updated his Free Spirit and I got to fly it at Beach Blast 2010. This review comes from notes recorded after the flight. I made very few notes, probably because it flew and ground handled much like the 2007 model I reviewed in 2009. The updates mostly regard the frame, ...
Paramotor Review: 2010 Parajet Cyclone 160
Parajet continues to innovate with their newest rotary engine machine, the Cyclone 160. The unit I flew at Beach blast had literally just arrived from England and, sadly, was damaged in shipping. But British competition pilot Dean Eldridge worked enough magic to mend it. Good thing, too, since I was thrilled to take it for ...
