My Paraplane Setup.

Its a little rough at the moment, Just waiting for one of those ultra calm winter mornings to try it out.

Cool
I was thinking of getting one from HK, only thing put me off was having to wait for the right wind conditions to fly it (assuming it doesn't cope with wind very well)

This will fly in light winds if its constant.

I build the canopy from scratch out of garden waste binliners works really well loads of lift generated with this design.
I have the HK canopy and its a tangle nightmare! lol
Ive found the ripstop nylon fabric canopys to takes quite a bit of forward airpressure to stay solid enough for decent lift.

this is a smaller version of the canopy less lines to tangle up  ;D

i think Chris in Kabul has one of these too - I bet they're a different beast to fly than the normal stuff :)
