Yes-- I sold my PPC to make room for a Fixed Wing Ultralight---

My Destiny PPC had 118 hrs on both the machine & 503 DCDI. It has the EIS monitoring system, electric and pull start, oil injection and two seats. The heavy-duty tundra tires allowed landings in the roughest of cow pastures. The parachute is a Performance Design 550.  A totally enclosed trailer was included which helped to solve  hangar problems. This is a great way to enter the world of flight!

I enjoy flight-- I'm not an expert-- just enjoy flying for the fun of it-- I have a private pilots license from 35 years ago but it was impractical then as I was busy raising a family and working on a career in the army-- It's still expensive but at least the price of a tank of 2-cycle gas doesnt compete with a pair of shoes or a package of diapers.

I've been flying the above powered parachute for about 6 years now but am also taking flight instruction in fixed-wing ultralights and ultralight trikes. This machine will go up to 10,000 ft. but I enjoy flying low, about 500-700 ft, and waving at people on the ground, or spotting wild-life and birds. Notice in the above pics that the wind is in my face but my hands are free to man a camera or the throttle. Steering is accomplished with my feet-- This craft goes about 28-30 mph so at my altitude it can be said that I truly fly--

~~Low and Slow~~
