Flying an Ultralight Trike

CHAD BASTIAN: Hi, this is Chad Bastian, welcome to Expert Village. We're here to talk about the trike buggy and PPG triking with paragliders. So, with the PPG trike, we ask "How do we get started?" It's really good with any aircraft not to try and teach yourself but to try and find a qualified or a certified instructor to help you understand the dynamics of the whole process of learning how to fly. We can pick up aircraft on eBay or anywhere very cheap, very easily and go out and try to teach ourselves, but we'd really be kind of a fool to do so. It's really good to get some basic instruction. Have someone there watching you and helping you along at the beginning so that you're not making mistakes. In fact, the money that you spend on instruction will often be saved on equipment or even broken body parts if you choose to go in that direction of teaching yourself. So, getting started, we want to look for, first of all, a good instructor. And it's good to talk with them, to call them out, speak with them even come visit them. See their teaching style. Spend a little time with them because it's a relationship you're going to build with that instructor, and you're going to be back and forth. You're going to be looking for them for guidance. They're going to be looking to you to give you this information and it's their job to do so. It's good to find someone that you get along well with and you have good chemistry with, and also that you like the techniques that they use and you feel like they're giving you proper information and they're not just feeding you something that they don't maybe know. So, find someone that you feel like you can connect with.
