Mandy's first kiss with Canadian skies

Andre, an experienced powered paragliding instructor, launches my Mandy the XCitor for the first time into the frozen skies above Niagara Falls and gets a real kick out of the experience.

How much will it cost in canada?

[dorondekel]

I paid about $35K, tax included.

Very nice flying, It looks like the risers are attached to hand control for stearing. Is that right?

[dorondekel]

The hand controls are trimmers - they change the angle of attack of the wing on either side or both (changing the air speed). I also have hand brake toggles for quick/fine control, which I use near the ground or when doing sharp turns.

Hats off to you boyz, the nicest machine I ever heard, or seen.

Cheers,

It's really Fresh Breeze and Hirth that should get the admiration here, Marko.

I'll make sure I pass through your patch on my coast-to-coast flight so you'll get the first hand experience. The front or the back seat?

Do you really want to feel adrenaline? Fly with a paraglider over alps, using thermal ald breezes as engine, only the sound of nature and thin lines...

Trike is for lazy people!!!
