PPG S-Trike Powered Paragliding fun in the Snow!!

[razed1022]

Hi, Great video. I live in Colorado and was thinking about using skis on my PPC. Does the snow do anything to your prop? Thanks

Yes the snow kicking through your prop definitely takes a toll. Of course in these videos my prop is IN the snow. If you keep your prop OUT of the snow you do much better:).

Thanks for the info, I am hoping to go flying once it warms up a bit. It's now -18C.

Brrrrr

[mochamon]

do you make any changes to your engine for winter flying? Richen up the mixure? Thanks.

[imasuper0308]

Not really, sometimes a very minor change to the high end but just a tad. Generally once the engine is tuned it will go from sea level to 18,182 ft without adjustment. You can always fine tune it though with just a twist. The Flat Top has an access port so you can also do it in flight if you feel like it.

If you put skis on that trike, it would really fly. No pun intended.

Yes I'm going to have to try that. Just a bit too much drag pushing through deep snow. Couldn't get up to speed on launch.
