So it is 185cc ? Cool post! I have a Buckeye powered Parachute back in Indiana. I did a post on it 9 months ago.

I'm going to follow you, and Resteem your post to get you some exposure!
It is good to have more para pilots here on Steemit!
Hi Brian, yeah it's a 185cc, one of the larger engines found on a paramotor which I need because I'm pretty heavy at 215 pounds.
I like your powered parachute, there's a few of those flying around down here. They are quite a bit bigger than a paramotor, almost like a flying car lol.
I'm sure the weather in AZ is nice for flying, you should check into getting a paramotor because they are easy to travel with and can literally just go into the back of your car, especially if you have an SUV or a truck.
Thanks so much for the resteem, as minnow food, it's not easy getting posts seen ha ha.
I subscribed to you too.
Cheers,
Michael
I like the portability of the paramotor like you have for sure. I don't feel like it would carry me out of the runway at my parents house in Indiana like you see in the pictures. I'm 215 lb as well.
That Buckeye has a 592cc Rotax 2 stroke engine. 65 HP. Taking 1 person out of that runway was no problem. It was up in no time. Taking 2 people was another story. It was sketchy but I did it about 6 times.
How lucky to have a runway at your parents house, It's not easy finding take off areas in South Florida, everything is developed or fenced.
