Geoffs got a brand new toy again. this time its a paragliding wing. soar through the skys and drink in the scenery.

TO USE...to take off use absolutly no more than 25% throttle, at 100mph pull back, as soon as airborne increase throttle to 40%. this craft has a very individual way to control. throttle affects pitch. approx 30% for level flight, 40% to climb, 20% to dive. land at 15%. do not pitch or roll more than 40 degrees or you will spin. cruse at 80-140mph. take it easy and you will be fine. hope u enjoy

*please rate, comment and check out my other contraptons. thank you*
