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.

    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.

    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.

    You will love the Cruiser! I started with an Apco dovetail and the Cruiser is lightyears ahead; much better flying wing!

    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.
