These faggots should be strictly restricted to class F airspace, with well defined dimension and NEVER EVER LEFT OUT, sick and tired of avoiding them. Yesterday while flying a personal Cessna 310 from a buddy of mine and 3 weeks ago on the Dash 8 with the small airliner I fly for.

a 6 pound flying machine that literally fits in a backpack is really one of the greatest inventions ever. Imagine unironically owning a Cessna in 2023

mountain bikers of the sky are paragliders
roadies of the sky are hang gliders
paramotors and microlights are more like motorcyclists of the sky
anyway cope and seethe you are the cagie of the sky and you shold know your place (stuck behind a sky cyclist)

imagine spending millions of dollars on cars and seeing someone have more fun with 15 grand than you've ever had in your entire life.
"Zomg this lambo pulls 1.4 Gs!!!" Meanwhile I'm blacking out pulling 6 Gs on my paraglider ahahaha
CARS ARE A C TIER HOBBY. YOU SPEND TONS OF MONEY ON STATUS.
YOU'RE LIKE A WOMAN BUYING A PURSE. YOU ARE ACTUALLY FUCKING RETARDED AND GAY.

Imagine spending tens of thousands of dollars on your PPL and you don't even have a paraglider or sim setup.
You don't love flying.
You're in it for status.

I'd far sooner save up to buy a cessna than one of these dangerous little things. I'll give you that they're neat, but the sky was designed for airplanes. Ask a friend who owns a cessna for a ride in it a single time over the mountains or the desert and I guarantee you'll change your mind in a heartbeat.

ooh wagie cagies got his climate control while he sits there on autopilot for hours to go from one peice of tarmac to another

>the sky was designed for airplanes.
it was designed for birds and a glider is the closest thing to a bird

Most accredited PPG schools have about a week long curriculum. Ground school and theory, weather, communications, airfield operations, kiting practice, towing aloft, and then coached solos.
Go through the PPG bible and that should get you a good body of knowledge.

Buy's literally one of the most harmless inventions on the market that isn't blacklisted on a watch list for interpol.....lol

Can ship them anywhere and nobody thinks that they are an aerial assault weapon....lol

i mean no but you cant with a plane or even a helicopter either
flying makes even less sense as transport than cars do
>>1953948
lol its incredible they climb at 45 degrees lol
if you cant find a place to take off and land one of these then you just arent looking hard enough
>>1954415
almost like the military industrial complex lied to us that they need billions of our tax money to develop stealth planes or whatever and real war is actually just about shit being simple cheap and practical
>>1954550
so did arma 3 lol
>>1957760
technically you dont neeeees any, yknow like a bike (depends on country)
but rly you should just join a school and practice kiting in your own time till the instructor says your ready
i mean its extremely cheap compared to a pilots licence and a plane
>i heard these things collapse mid air too
i heard bicycle fall over
i heard planes can spin
i hear helicopters get mast bump
just dont fly like a retard lol
and most importantly dont fly in weather that is above your experience level
thats what kills pilots
basically the same as any other aircraft or trying to hit jumps on a bicycle when you havnt learned how to yet

as a fully self acknowledged retard, I can't guarantee that, hell I can't stop myself from riding like a retard with a bike, I don't possess the self control to not fly like a retard

I think the helmet is just too small for him and he's tilting it forward to have the brim in the right spot even though nothing else is. Also it's really stupid to have ear cutouts and not be wearing earmuffs.
The night vision is the least silly part, after all it's only a matter of hours before it's dark again.

the thrust you'd get would be negligible compared to just the speed gained by pointing your glider downward
thats why it took so long for the plane to be invented, and by extension paragliders, because they have to have a shit ton of force while weighing nothing

planefag here, paragliders are based as hell
i wanna buy a cheap kit biplane with an open cockpit someday for light aerobatics
and i think wing walking is exceedingly based, theres a guy who gives lessons and lets you do it in the span of a single day
and its not that gay shit where you're strapped on top of the plane for the whole flight, you get out of the cockpit yourself and climb on the wings

(nta) I'm legit surprised they're even still trying w/electrics at this point. Until there's some new breakthrough in energy storage (i.e. much better batteries) these things will always have either dogshit range or anemic performance. It's a miracle they can even get airborne in their current form.

we're supposed to think the IDF simultaneously has the ability to manchurian candidate sleeper agents to assassinate heavily guarded VIPs in the heart of tehran and get away without being detected but also somehow can't spot a coordinated paramotor attack by hundreds of militants in their literal backyard, hmmmmmmmmm yep no one saw it coming! everyone rally around bibi, who definitely was not about to go to jail

supposedly the IDF can tell who is and isn't a hamas special forces operative with their super quantum entanglement brain wave detectors even if it's a 3 day old infant in the maternity ward that can't speak yet, yet they didn't notice that hundreds of hamas special forces operatives simultaneously ordered and trained on paramotors after receiving coordinated transfers from the IRGC, hmmmmmmmmmmmm

you don't need power at all to stay airborne, just clever usage of updrafts
electric motors are small as fuck
https://openppg.com/shop/paramotors/openppg-sp140/
this one weighs 13 kg
so someone who weighs in at 70kg can pack this and 7kg of batteries to give him more freedom between updrafts and when they're flat he's still as efficient as someone who weighs in at 90kg in an unpowered paraglider

I’m OP, and I hate Jews. These are Jewish inventions and incredibly dangerously. That’s fine if you want to fly it. But if we collide. My plane and I will do just fine while you’ll be gone. Like motorcycles accidents with cars

God man I cannot wait until I can afford one of these. As someone who spends all of their time on /b/ and knows nothing about transportation (bikes, cars, etc) this is my dream vehicle. I dont care if its more dangerous than a car.
