A powered paraglider is one of the only aircraft that can safely fly just a few feet off the ground. This allows us to see wildlife, birds, local scenery and treetops up close and with a 3D view not possible when cruising at 1000ft. It is also capable of flying 3000ft or higher, if that perspective is desired.

For takeoff, the paraglider wing is laid out on the grass behind the trike. We throttle up; the wing comes up; we taxi and then take off.

This aircraft only flies 25 mph relative to the wind, so if we have a 5 mph headwind, we'll only be going 20mph groundspeed when the aircraft gently lifts off the ground.

We are outfitted with helmet-to-helmet communication for the duration of the flight. If the student is comfortable and time and weather allows, we will ascend to 2000ft and glide down in perfect silence. The only sound during this descent is the wind in the lines and the sound of your own breathing. Students often comment on this as being the highlight of the flight.

During our tandem introductory paraglider flight, students will take their first step on the adventure of learning to fly. We'll kick things off with a safety talk and a thorough checklist to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience. Then, it's time to take to the skies. Our flight is designed as a beginner's introduction to powered paragliding, so no prior experience is needed. Students can choose to take the controls once we reach a safe altitude or simply enjoy the ride as they get accustomed to the sensation of flight. We'll explore the art of controlling the paraglider high above the picturesque local scenery, and if we're lucky, we might happen to see some fascinating wildlife, including bald eagles, vultures, ducks, geese, red hawks, wild turkeys, cranes, egrets, and other birds as well as deer and foxes (I have seen all these animals from the air over many years of flying). Once we're back on solid ground, I'll demonstrate the proper way to pack up the wing, offering a comprehensive experience from start to finish. It's an adventure you won't want to miss!

Although my experience was canceled due to equipment being maintenanced Chris was ver professional and tried his best to help me find another experience, kodos to him. If I ever do go back to Dover I will try to plan this experience. I had a bad experience at the Best Western Premier in Denver due to the manager Ashly, Chris sure could teach her a thing or two on how to treat a customer, he was excellent, she is awful, she is not a good person avoid the Best Western Premier at all cost.

I recently went up with Chris for my first paragliding flight. During the preflight Chris did an awesome job explaining the equipment and what could be expected. The takeoff, watching the ground fall from under us was byfar one of the coolest experiences I've had. I've flown many times but that's quite different than being suspended from a giant kite or wing. When I made the decision to go up I was wondering if my insurance policy was big enough but after the flight it seems there is a greater risk of accident on the ground, at least for me. Chris is passionate about this hobby and a great professional to trust for you adventure!
An enjoyable and informative experience

Such an enjoyable experience! It was a beautiful morning and, we were able to go quite high and get some amazing views of the area. Christopher is a very knowledgeable and detail oriented instructor. He was able to answer all of my questions and give a good instruction for someone with no flight experience. He was also very mindful of our safety which made me feel comfortable on the flight. I would highly recommend planning a trip with him if you get the chance.
Great flight!

I took an amazing flight with Chris. Before the flight he went over everything with me telling me what to expect and answering every question I had. I could also tell right from the beginning with Chris that safety was first and foremost. During the flight he explained everything that was going o and made the flight an experience that I'll always remember and couldn't have been any better. After the flight he also answered any questions I had and explained some other things we hadn't covered. Within a few weeks of flying with Chris I bought my own powered paraglider so I can continue to enjoy the experience. I don't think anyone that flies with Chris will be disappointed!
