	ParaPlane Pics Photo Gallery by David Flood at pbase.com
		Here are some pics of the ParaPlane that Jared and I bought and 'restored' a few years ago, then later I completely rebuilt the thing using a Kawasaki 440 engine.
		This is the same ParaPlane after the fan-cooled inline twin Kawasaki 440 was installed.
		The original ParaPlanes used a cable setup (which I left intact) to link the steering bars for the wing to the nosewheel for ground steering.

		The wheels of the main under-carriage have a wider wheelbase, which is very important for a paraplane, since it gives it much better side stability, simultaneously reducing the crankiness of the vehicle, both during the takeoff and the landing.
		We should not forget that a paraplane, being a specific design in terms of the wing and the driving unit connection, is susceptible to overturning.
		In paraplanes, the torque of the propeller is most often leveled by the usage of bearing belts of different length, connecting the wing with the driving unit.

	Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada Decision (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The witness said that the paraplane he saw on July 14, 2002, was the one in a photograph shown to him by the Minister’s representative, which was filed as Exhibit M-3 by the witness Gilles Tremblay.
		She said the paraplane was similar to paraplane number 8 shown in a table prepared by the Respondent and representing several models of ultra-light aeroplanes.
		This paraplane is known for the design and mounting on the undercarriage of four (4) Spiros or ovoid plastic wheels that allow for better directional control, greater stability during flight and increased control on landing.

		The witness said that the paraplane he saw on July 14, 2002, was the one in a photograph shown to him by the Minister’s representative, which was filed as Exhibit M3 by the witness Gilles Tremblay.
		He did not remember whether the Respondent’s paraplane had floats, but he clearly remembered that it was fitted with “wheels.” He could not say whether it was a “paraplane” or a “hang glider.” He readily admitted that the water craft and the paraplane had not collided but he submitted that this could have happened.
		She noted, moreover, that his paraplane was “very, very low,” “about 40 feet from the water.” He seemed to be having a problem with a float, because he was making signs to her.

		Still, the paraplane is likely to be most fetching to viewers, and after a brief examination of ultralites -which are more or less baby airplanes - ''Innovation'' returns to the aerobics instructor.
		Hartz explains her paraplane: steer left or right with the feet; go up or down by pushing or pulling the throttle.

	Tom Swift and his Electronic Retroscope
		He tests his paraplane for landing maneuverability in densely grown jungle areas, and uses his retroscope (magic to the natives!) to restore--photographically--ancient carvings and writing on old Mayan relics.
		The paraplane is a small jet aircraft that also has a dirigible bag that can be used to provide buoyancy when the jet motor is not used.
		Whilst the paraplane dirigible wouldnít need to lift anywhere near this weight, it gives an idea of the size of the dirigible envelope required to lift a substantial weight.

		Most paraplanes have an airspeed of 25-35 mph and typically cruise at 500-1,500 feet although the world record altitude is 18,000 feet.
		The most dangerous aspect of flying a paraplane are associated with high winds and obstacles.

	Fred's First Flight Instruction on a Paraplane
		Paraplanes are very safe, the chute is ALWAYS open and even if the engine quits, it just safely floats slowly back to the ground for a controlled landing.
		He loved the feel as the Buckeye rounded the turns and picked up speed as the paraplane caught the wind and traveled across the landscape.
		But both these future pilots will be back in the air again, John will be buying a Paraplane this coming Summer and after getting his Basic Flight Instructor's Certification, Fred and John will be flying again, taking day trips and having the time of their lives!

		When the paraplane crashed due to a failure of the taking off, the horizontal control bar (fl) was seriously damaged.
		In this case the paraplane becomes un-balance in the flights and finally may swing itself in the sky.
		In this respect, note that in this paraplane the open angle of the canopy cannot be controlled, resulting in a fixed cruising speed for the horizontal flight.

	The Daily Press - Ashland, WI
		Tuesday, September 05th, 2006 12:07:22 PM A paraplane accident in the town of Delta on Monday resulted in injuries for the pilot, according to Bayfield County Sheriff Bob Follis.
		William Moore, 45, of Ashland, was attempting to take off near 17880 Visocky Road, when one of the paraplane's engines malfunctioned, causing him to strike the top of some trees and crash into a field.
		Follis said that Moore is an experienced paraplane pilot and that the crash appeared to be caused solely by equipment malfunction.

	More information about the RC Paraplane I build.
		A resent trip to the flying field was to test fly 2 models before they were shipped as well as to deliver one to its new owner (Billy).
		It is the only radio control model that I know of where a pilot can fly the aircraft up 300' in the air, stop the engine, put the radio on the ground and let the model land itself without fear of damage.
		If it is calm and no wind you are sure to have a great time flying the paraplane.

	Aircraft patent invention
		The slings are located symmetrically in respect the aircraft main base axis, the places of their fastening are either on the fuselage, or on the wing (feature "force element"-"gripped element connection to the aircraft").
		For preservation of the controlled flight of the paraplane--aircraft system, the resulting force from the paraplane canopy is applied to the point usually higher than the aircraft mass center, and near to the mass center in the longitudinal direction.
		The necessity to have onboard the paraplane and the paraplane operation serving devices (for example, two obligatory symmetric points of paraplane fastening to the aircraft appreciably complicate the paraplane stacking compartment design) is up to 20% of the maximal carrying capacity and up to 100% of the aircraft service cost; [0037] b.

		The Paraplane was designed to be the simplest form of aviation.
		Anyone with a desire to fly could learn to fly and become a sport pilot in a relatively short period of time and be able to take advantage of the inherent safety characteristics of flying slow and using a parachute for a wing.
		Although Paraplane is no longer in business, Steve Snyder is to be commended for helping create the fastest growing industry in light sport aviation.

		Also covered are some enhancements that make the Paraplane a really fun machine with increased duration and power.
		The advantage of the brake line system is that the paraplane can carry a lot more weight and can also flare during landing without power.
		Since the paraplane is meant for a lot of cruising, the throttle would be about 40-60% most of the time.

	Paraplane - RC Groups
		The CG doesn’t matter in this case because flying a Paraplane is base on the lifting of the canopy.
		When you fly a Paraplane, your canopy will play a very important role is to lift the canopy up, your motor will pull your canopy forward and the gravity will pull everything down to the earth.
		That’s all I know about Paraplane because I got into this Paraplane hobby is just around a year.

	Chute the Sky!
		The weight and location of the carriage ensured that the ParaPlane could not be forced into a spin, a dive, a stall, or any other aerobatic maneuver; in fact, the 160-pound aircraft couldn't pull any more than 1-1/2 times the force of gravity, even though its design could accommodate 9 Gs.
		But the ParaPlane people won't let anyone aloft until he or she has been through the first-flight program, which consists of a video and a printed presentation, a written test, hands-on instruction, and a flight demonstration.
		With no more discomfort than I would have felt riding a bicycle over a shallow curb, the ParaPlane was on the grass and rolling to a stop—I'd already pushed both foot levers forward to drop the canopy and pulled the throttle back to kill the engines.
