Favourite aircraft for fun and safety!

It's a funny-oid do...
But after zillions of years/hours on the various flight simulators (1982 > 2026) and a multitude of different General Aviation aircraft in my hard drive...
The only aircraft that I presently feel comfortable, stable, and safe with, is my "FlynDive" Paramotor!

Powered Hang Glider!

https://www.flyndivesimulations.com/pro ... -paramotor

..... :D ... :D ... :D ...!

It's very slow...36MPH (on a good day), but it always gets me there, safely, low and slow, with a massive grin on my face... :D ...!
Take off, in a couple of steps...
..and land on a Sixpence/US Dollar!
Low and slow.
Perfect for all my river sand-bank and overnight camping trips with my like-minded friends!
Enjoy the unrestricted landscape from a few feet above ground
Bush flying with the birds!
No fancy instrumentation, just an awareness of all around me, sat on a comfy seat with legs outstretched!!
It's a wonderful experience to make all the day-to-day troublesome world go away!
Give it a try...
...with me...
...you will like it...
...trust me..:groupwave: ...!

Paul... :uk: ....and various other flight sim places... :cheers: ...!

Only in a flight simulator, Paul... what a truly terrifying device!
MSFS is the right tool for the job, I suspect the '24 flavour even more so.

Hello, Charl!
Good point, so I fired up my Computer and typed in...
"Are Paramotors safe?!
....and in one of many replies on YouTube, this came up...>>>

I watch many real-life Paramotor Pilots every day on YouTube, to accompany my daily Microsoft Flights in the same type of vehicle, and they all seem to have a great time with all their like-minded friends!
A low-cost way to getup in the air and view the wide open countryside!
... take the necessary certified Flying Lessons beforehand.

A hop, skip, and a jump away from a Cessna 152/172!

A Parachute Wing overhead, sat in a chair, with a tiny stroke engine with a propeller strapped to its back for forward and upward propulsion, and a gaggle of connecting lines to provide directional flight.

I find it loads of fun....
..in a Flight Sim sort of way... :D ...!

Paul.... :uk: .... :plane: .... :clap: ....!
