"...Have you ever dreamed of flying? I mean really flying - like a bird - not in some huge steel contraption, but flying by just strapping something to your back and lifting off, feeling the wind against your skin, zooming over the treetops and seeing the world in all of its splendor before you. If you have ever dreamed of flying like this, then we have what you need!! We will tell you how YOU can fly!!!

You can build and fly the least expensive, safest, simplest, funnest aircraft in the world in about a week. You can learn to fly this aircraft safely in a weekend. You can take off from level ground by yourself in only a few steps and land on a dinner plate. The airframe only costs about $200 to build. With the purchase of a used engine and canopy you will save thousands. Powered parachutes are the least expensive aircraft in the world to purchase, maintain and fly. No licensing, insurance or registration of any kind is required to fly a powered parachute. You can throw a powered parachute into the trunk of your car or take it on an airline and fly it anywhere in the world. Flys and lands safely without power. Everything you want and need to know about powered parachutes is in our detailed informative book with sources for completed craft, components... even plans to build your own.
