A powered parachute (Plane), often abbreviated PPC(P), and also called a motorized parachute or paraplane, is a type of aircraft that consists of a parafoil with a motor and wheels. The aircraft's airspeed is typically about 25–35 mph (40–60 km/h). PPCs operate safely at heights ranging from a few feet off the ground (“fly-bys”, a popular use of the aircraft) to altitudes as high as 10,000+ ft (3.05 km), but typical operating heights are between 500 and 1500 feet (150–500 meters) above ground level (AGL). Equipped with a 5-15 gallon fuel tank (depending on the engine and weight limitations), PPCs can typically be flown for about three hours before requiring refueling. They have very short take-off and landing rolls, sometimes less than 100 ft (30 m).
CONTROLS:
VTOL = Pitch of parachute
Trim = winch length (It doesn't actually do anything)
AG1 = Gyroscope (It helps in pitching up in down faster)
Normal controls.
Goodluck trying to land this heheheheh :-)

Cool. Glad you know how to make one. It's to complicated for me.
lol
@lilgreen06 I will
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook Nice, if you do fly it tell me how it was and what I need to work on.
@lilgreen06 No, but I like paraplanes and I want to keep the trend going lol
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook Have you flown it?
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook Oh okay, thanks for the spotlight!
@lilgreen06 It should have two on the outboard edge of each cell, just to keep the shape. Any other wires are up to you
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook What other wires does it need?
Could use a few more wires though
I see trims I am happy
@FusionFire Whatever.
@FusionFire ...
