What other interests do you guys have besides coal? I found out Freddy & I had the exact same motorcycle model in a bygone area. Post a pic or two. This was me before dinner in my powered parachute pretending I was Greg L :lol:

That's very cool. I was thinking about getting into that. My wifes cousin who I talked into buying a VF3K had one. I say had one because a couple of years ago on take off, somehow the lines got tangled and he took off but then crashed, breaking several bones and makinghim even uglier than he was. :shock: That kind of cooled my interest in them. But it looks like it would really be a blast.

There is about only two things that will hurt you, not being sure your lines are laid out orderly before take off, and flying into the side of a barn, otherwise they are pretty safe. If the engine quits, you float down...it's a parachute :D

They are tightening up the regs on carrying passengers because just any joe dokes can legally fly one, and do, if you know what I mean.

Do you mean I can go buy one of them and start flying it around? No strings attached (pun intended)!
