We're at it again with Aviator PPG, this time experiencing what its like getting lifted into the air by a lawn mower motor, ehrm, paramotor, strapped to our backs. In this part of training you learn about motor maintenance, preflight checks, and motor safety. By strapping into the motor simulator you get to feel how the motor effects you during flight and how to control. You then learn to walk with the motor at full power on your back. It feels like it is going to lift you into the air. The amount of power these paramotor motors put out is impressive when you consider their size.
