The Aeyria Foil is my first power paraglider. All control functions are achieved through parachute articulation. This aircraft flies at very low speed but is extemely foregiving, once you get the hang of the unique flight profile. Take of with the chutes deployed (AG1) or deploy them at speed for a nice kick off the runway; climb out at 25-35 degrees. Landing is very simple, just fly to the runway surface and reduce power to stop in just a couple of feet; try to takeoff and land on USS Tiny for a challenge. Can even pull a back-loop like a stunt plane. Enj joy!
