Training Course
Cost $1500.00

The goal of the beginner
training course is to provide the student with the skills and knowledge to
set up the equipment, properly ground handle the paraglider, launch and land
with instructors assistance and to reach the goal of flying without the
instructor's assistance in just a few days. The student will learn all
aspects of Powered Paragliding including Reverse & forward launch's, tips
and tricks, equipment maintenance, weather, flying techniques, and many
other items that would normally take a student many years to learn on their
own. This course is started on Tuesdays for those who can train straight
thru the 4 days and on Saturdays for those whom can only train 1 to 2 days a
week. The equipment of Paragliders, Paramotors, and radios are provided for
