It is no longer just a dream but a reality with the help of a glider and powered flight. Things have progressed since the triangular delta wing in 1970, the development of paragliding was released today gliding is a popular sport.
The glider was first coined in 1970 by paratroopers running springs Ram Air Alps in France, over the years, these slides have been changed in a very effective wing to give pilots more power and greater wing aircraft fixed. Flights of more than 200 km are often using thermal and skill of the pilots in the air, raise and spend long hours on end. Training in most countries, the will of heaven, seeing one a few days ago and it is possible to base a license in a couple of weeks. The device is relatively inexpensive, a new wing, harness, parachute, boots, helmet, various can be seen safely in the air less than 4000USD! With a lot of used equipment available, is less than 2000USD on a plane is impossible!
In late 1980 he entered the world of motorized glider and received the name? PPG? Was quickly adopted. These units were glider pilots the ability to receive air from a floor area, and then you find a hill or mountain to begin their flights. Also gave these leaflets in the air when it was over by the updraft of the day or even before it starts.
These units are very popular in Thailand, which has developed the first powered flight in the last 20 years have seen the game easier, more powerful and cheaper each year. Training time is similar to paragliding and there is a wide selection of round new and used motorcycles. That can be removed easily in the boot (trunk) comes into the car and just need a small soccer field and off the field. Prices range from $ 10,000 for a full team, including wings in tandem, rescue tools, two-seater tricycle and U.S. $ 1,000 for a solo instrument. There are dangers associated with these sports, which will undoubtedly be appreciated as an extreme sport, but with an attitude responsible for dozens of years, pilots flying at 12,000 feet above some of the most beautiful scenery in the world order.
There are safety courses available for the shortcomings of the turbulence on the flight and all drivers with a rescue deal. It is easy to combine sport at their own pace, in the evening and early morning flights were observed in the still air, the sun (or fall) are a favorite with an advantage, benefit, while others are noon strong thermal pulse. If you are interested in this sport, why not cut from a sports club and see-motor glider abound, some experts, cats, and once the pleasure of flying in a tandem paramotor.
Some other facts: If the engine is not yet in a glider, no problem! A rescue operation is extremely rare in the world distance record in paragliding (No. PPG) is 349 km
