The man in the back seat looks like Chuck Yeager.

Thanks for posting this awesome video. I love how the camera man can just move the camera around as long as he doesn't go straight back your Ok...LOL I use to have a single seater but sold it now have an AirBike but after watching your video, I am thinking of getting a 2 seater PPC. Again , great video......

Curtis, I made the windshield myself. It is Lexan plastic and attached it to the tubes with a plastic clamp that I found while working as an A and P. A cushing clamp at an aircraft supply co. might have it in that size you need though my clamp was for a special use other than for what I use it now. It was used on 747's.

Question! Where did Chris get his wind shield for his machine I need one, hoping you can point me the right direction! or website.. Curtis

I would like to know a little about the windsheild on the Blue PPC.. can that be bought from someone or was that home built...and how was it fastened to the tube? Thanks

Really good expose on flying PPC. Let me know of your events next year if there is a possibility of a ride. Also, great advert for the GoPro camera!

how many hours of flight do you have?

[mxf7010g8k]

very cool! i believe if i do ever take the jump into flight it will be with a PPG rather than a PPC just for ease and simplicity.

[mxf7010g8k]

@mxf7010g8k ^ i think the slow speed would also be cool too but i would be one of the only PPG in the area. at this point there are a few PPCers but is there any PPGers?

[photoguy73]

PPG are cool, but having had some hard landings I don't like the idea of using my legs as landing gear.
