These faggots should be strictly restricted to class F airspace, with well defined dimension and NEVER EVER LEFT OUT, sick and tired of avoiding them. Yesterday while flying a personal Cessna 310 from a buddy of mine and 3 weeks ago on the Dash 8 with the small airliner I fly for.

mountain bikers of the sky are paragliders
roadies of the sky are hang gliders
paramotors and microlights are more like motorcyclists of the sky
anyway cope and seethe you are the cagie of the sky and you shold know your place (stuck behind a sky cyclist)

imagine spending millions of dollars on cars and seeing someone have more fun with 15 grand than you've ever had in your entire life.
"Zomg this lambo pulls 1.4 Gs!!!" Meanwhile I'm blacking out pulling 6 Gs on my paraglider ahahaha

YOU'RE LIKE A WOMAN BUYING A PURSE. YOU ARE ACTUALLY FUCKING RETARDED AND GAY.

Imagine spending tens of thousands of dollars on your PPL and you don't even have a paraglider or sim setup.
You don't love flying.

I'd far sooner save up to buy a cessna than one of these dangerous little things. I'll give you that they're neat, but the sky was designed for airplanes. Ask a friend who owns a cessna for a ride in it a single time over the mountains or the desert and I guarantee you'll change your mind in a heartbeat.

I don't really want to die from winds suddenly changing directions, and would much prefer an aircraft that I can actually use to travel across the US and visit friends in.

it was designed for birds and a glider is the closest thing to a bird
>>
>>1951415
planes are as vulnreble to the wind as any other aircraft
id have thoughta supposed pilot would know that?
and planes are a retarded way to travel just take a train lol

what does this even mean

im dissapointed this isnt a thing outside some crazy prototypes
id love a paraglider with a pedal powered propeller imagine how cool that would be

so can they go up from a lowground because my understanding was you can only glide down making them more like downhill mtb fucks
>>
>>1957760
Most accredited PPG schools have about a week long curriculum. Ground school and theory, weather, communications, airfield operations, kiting practice, towing aloft, and then coached solos.

Go through the PPG bible and that should get you a good body of knowledge.

If you actually think Hamas used paragliders to invade you are actually gay and retarded and under 6 foot and you should never ever attempt to pilot any kind of aircraft because you're not smart enough

>>1953413
i mean no but you cant with a plane or even a helicopter either
flying makes even less sense as transport than cars do
>>1953948
lol its incredible they climb at 45 degrees lol
if you cant find a place to take off and land one of these then you just arent looking hard enough
>>1954415
almost like the military industrial complex lied to us that they need billions of our tax money to develop stealth planes or whatever and real war is actually just about shit being simple cheap and practical
>>1954550
so did arma 3 lol
>>1957760
technically you dont neeeees any, yknow like a bike (depends on country)
but rly you should just join a school and practice kiting in your own time till the instructor says your ready
i mean its extremely cheap compared to a pilots licence and a plane
>i heard these things collapse mid air too
i heard bicycle fall over
i heard planes can spin
i hear helicopters get mast bump
just dont fly like a retard lol
and most importantly dont fly in weather that is above your experience level
thats what kills pilots
basically the same as any other aircraft or trying to hit jumps on a bicycle when you havnt learned how to yet

I think the helmet is just too small for him and he's tilting it forward to have the brim in the right spot even though nothing else is. Also it's really stupid to have ear cutouts and not be wearing earmuffs.
