Going Up in a Parachute : A Powered Parachute Manual & Sourcebook for the Beginner

Have you ever dreamed of flying? I mean really flying — like a bird — not in a huge steel contraption, but to just strap something to your back and lift off, to feel the wind against your skin, to zoom up over the treetops and see the world in all its splendor before you. This book was written for anyone who has ever dreamed of flying. The rapidly growing sport of “powerchuting” is allowing people who have previously been unable to fly due to restrictions of money, time or space to realize this dream. It is full of technical information and sources, with information on how to go about building your own backpack-powered parachute aircraft for as little as $900. If you have ever dreamed of flying, then this book is for you!! This book will tell you how YOU can fly.
