Have you ever heard of a powered parachute? Well, picture a propeller driven lawn chair attached to a 400 square foot ram-air canopy, floating across the sky at 26 miles per hour. This is the essence of an amazingly safe aircraft that is destined to become everyone's personal fun flying machine. Author John Richard Carr has written the first definitive work on the subject. Carr takes the reader along on a series of adventures compiled from six years of flying experience, over 400 flights. This is the story of a person with a strong fear of heights, who overcomes it to the point of winning a premiere flying competition. "The Paraflight Experience" covers everything you ever wanted to know about flying a powered parachute. The "Fright Flights" chapter alone, which chronicles a number of terrifying, yet survivable ordeals, is worth the cost of the book. And the "Super Safe Flying" chapter will convince even hard-boiled skeptics of the inherent safety of this type of flight. For anyone who has ever imagined themselves personally flying, this book is a must read. 165p, With illustrations.
