• Easy to learn. In as little as 6 days of instruction, you can become a PPG pilot!
• Safe to fly. Not only do you have a glider wing overhead, but an optional reserve chute just in case!
• Loads of fun. From 1 foot to 12000 feet, there are few aircraft that can give you the thrill of flight that a PPG offers.
• Economical. Equipment costs range from $5,000 to $10,000 dollars. Training, around $800.
• No hangars, no trailers, no airport or license fees.
