Paramotor Trike Flight 61 (KJZP)

One of these days I'm going to actually learn how to launch a trike. This was a nice morning flight in Jasper GA and an impromptu cross country to Ellijay GA. On the way back there were rainstorms visible to the South and East which was really cool if a little intimidating to see from the air. Shout out to the clouds for doing a real nice job all around in this video.

That other guy took forever to launch! Was he napping, or something? 🙂 It was a really good flight that I wasn't expecting to get in.

Haha, they say slow is smooth and smooth is fast. At least you didn't try to steer it into the side of a building like me.😉 And yeah I'm really glad we did that flight. I'd never flown in weather conditions like those and it was really cool to see.
