Hoosier Powered Paragliding School
OK, so you've always wanted to fly, but it was just too expensive.
Well, not any more! Now, for about the same cost as a medium
priced
motorcycle, you can be in the air floating along like a bird! With some
of the same skills & coordination as it takes to ride, you could be
flying! Now it's possible for everyday people to own & fly
their own ultralight aircraft and to participate in aviation. PPG
makes possible affordable flight & ownership for those aviation
enthusiasts who would otherwise not have the opportunity to pilot their
own aircraft. Even better, most units easily & quickly come
apart so that
they will fit in the trunk of even a compact car. Or, boxed it up and
sent ahead to your vacation spot or job site. These are absolutely the
smallest and lightest ultralight aircraft in existence.
The first phase of our training is learning to control the wing on the
ground, called Ground Handling, which for most is the hardest part of
the training & the sport in general. This involves the use of a
wing and training harness. Kiting, as it is also called, can be learned
in as little as a few hours to several days, depending on the skills of
the individual pilot-to-be.
Here at the Hoosier school, we follow that with the use of a Honda 250
scooter tow rig. This device pulls the student into the air, low at
first, so that proper take off and landing procedures can be
experienced & learned. When proficient, the next stage is the
actual solo flights and you're on your way into an exciting sport that
will, without doubt, provide you many years of enjoyment, pride of
accomplishment and an endless supply of thrills!
In the USA, we are located in Monticello, Indiana, about 1/2 way between
Indianapolis & Chicago just east of I-65. About 20 mi. NE of
Lafayette & Purdue University and just 3 miles from the famous Indiana Beach Amusement Park.
Bring the family when you come for training which will keep the wife
& kiddies occupied & happy too. There are lots of camping and
cabins available close to the areas where we train.
