We are talking about small airplanes. Not just small airplanes like the Cessnas and  Mooneys, I mean: small, like unbelievably small. The race for the world’s smallest airplane record started back in 1948 when Ray Stits set out to design an airplane  smaller than Steve Wittman’s DFA Midget Racer, which was previously the smallest airplane.

Powered Paraglider (also called Paramotors) combines the easy flying characteristics of a paraglider with the autonomy and range of powered flight. It is rather easy to learn to fly a paramotor since it is foot-launched and does not require an airfield or a runway. You don’t need to look for a hill or wait for […]

Parascending is usually done in large fields and […]
