YAP - Yet Another Paramotor Channel

I picked up an OpenPPG electric paramotor. It was basically ready to fly. I moved the throttle to the right hand since that is what I am used to. Then I poked around disassembling and reassembling for a couple of days to satisfy myself that all was ready to fly.

Since the electric motor is completely silent at idle, I wanted to climb up and then silently glide down. It is a very cool aspect of having an electric motor.

A general aviation pilot friend was interested to see PPG up close. So we headed out to the field for a quick demo on the OpenPPG electric.

It was a perfect evening at the end of summer. Warm, smooth air made the flight a joy. Tracking the dunes up and down helped challenged my skills accomplishing the most active low flying I've ever done!
