Comments:

My first flying lesson was on May 31 1967. First Solo was on June 23 1967 and took my flight test on June 3 1968.
I loved the flying but after having a family in 1973 and buying a house in 1975 the flying took a back seat in 1975.
For the last three years I have watched the Outdoor Channel and found FlightLine TV and one on Gyro-Rotor Craft.
I decided against the gyro and liked the Powered Parachute.
THIS IS THE BEST "The Buckeye Powered Parachute"

But,I decided to purchase the Harmening High Flyer because the frame is made from the strongest, aircraft grade 4130 steel.
Sue & Mike are nice people!
I sent the exhaust out to have it Ceramic Coated.
This should be standard on all PPC's.
Now it always looks like new!
I made a bigger front fork, added a bigger wheel, tire and installed a brake. I also changed the rear axle to 5/8Ø from 3/4Ø and put the best bearings in the wheels with bigger tires. I also have 4 strobe lights.
