    For those people that visit and get headaches, which is essentially is the onset of altitude sickness. Downing, lots of Tums can help temporary alleviate those headaches.

    Thanks for this video! Very helpful advice. I appreciated your landing analysis video as well. I'm a student in Nebraska but hope to fly in Colorado after I log some time. Was considering the Atom 80, but after watching this video and talking with other pilots, I think I'm sold on the Moster 185.

    Great advice! I just recently flew above 5k for the first time in Utah, and everything you said is spot on. The wing is more dynamic with maneuvers, takeoffs and landings are faster speeds, swoop landings are totally different timing. That Moster doesn’t push quite as hard, but with practice things become more efficient.

    Excellent! I need to try this high altitude thing. I did PG launches from 7500 ft in Mexico this winter but I think my highest PPG launches ever were at 1200' at Aviator training in VT.

    Great videos! So glad I stumbled into your channel a month ago. Beginner PPG pilot myself. 12 years of free-flying definitely helps, but it is different with a motor on your back:)

    Thanks, are you able to create a video about how to reset a wing when it falls down upside down or on one side and is a big mess, while ground handling. Do you have an easy way of resetting the wing without unclipping? Appreciate the help. Thanks
