New Parachute Test Flight - 8-1-23
Спорт
This was the first flight of my new Apco Cruiser 500 parachute. I still have my old parachute and am going to keep it as a backup provided it passes inspection. It has 593 hours on it, so I got a LOT of good flying out of it. Everything went well and I had a nice morning flight around Shelby County, Indiana.

Nice and smooth!! What altitude you think you were at most of flight? Just got my chute back on and goose neck wheel installed!
It is good to see the variations in the land display. It is enjoyable to watch you fly. Now that you have a new Parachute, you can really say you are beginning to write another chapter in your Powered Parachute flying.
Nice to see you in the air again.

Thanks! Yep, it's about time. Nothing like a post-maintenance/new parachute test flight as my first flight after a 10 week layoff from flying. No pressure there.
Excited for you getting your new wing!!!!!😃 Seems to kite very well!

You will love the Cruiser! I started with an Apco dovetail and the Cruiser is lightyears ahead; much better flying wing!
Good to see you back in the air. I always enjoy your videos

Good flight. How long did you have your old chute before you decided to change to a new one?

I flew it for 593 hours over 6 years.
Scott, what parachute are you flying? Like to know that upfront at the beginning of the video, as well as a wide shot of the trike and the brand or model of the trike. Except for the lack of information, your video shots were well planned and excellent camera work/placement.

The parachute name is in the video description, it's an Apco Cruiser 500. I fly a 1999 Buckeye Dream Machine Powered Parachute (it's not a PPG trike). Info about my PPC can be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/1fcS4aMQvkc_mKzR3z7YTIJIQ0WDI3LYK/view?usp=sharing Let me know if the link works for you.
What are the square brackets on your steering bar for?
