John Wells said...: The foot pegs will most likely be mounted a little above the axle. All depends on where my butt ends up with the paramotor and harness.; November 14, 2016 at 5:09 PM
Larry G said...: If you fly as good as you build - which you no doubt will... gonna be pretty neat!; November 14, 2016 at 6:29 PM
John Wells said...: Ha...funny you should say that. I always tell visitors when they ask about my greenhouse - that I discovered I am a much better builder than I am a farmer. Let's hope that isn't the case this time.; November 14, 2016 at 6:59 PM
Al said...: I can't help but ask. How are you going to test it before you fly it?; November 14, 2016 at 7:11 PM
John Wells said...: 1. Weighted drop test. 2. 20 mph ground test with motor but no wing. 3. Taxi with wing without taking off.; November 14, 2016 at 7:46 PM

John Wells said...: Ha...four candles won't work because it would be too hard to keep them lit while flying.; November 15, 2016 at 7:23 AM
