Imagine....

Floating along quietly without the noise and vibration of the motor...

Learning and mastering more about your paraglider wing...

Soaring for hours in smooth ridge rift or ascending a mile into the air on a gentle thermal...

Hiking to the top of the hill or riding the tram to the summit with your gear in a small backpack...

Fly Above All is one of the largest paragliding schools in the country, known for training competent, safe pilots.



My friends Will Gadd and Jim Grossman flew across the U.S. from the Pacific to the Atlantic on the lightest, smallest, most economical aircraft possible: Paragliders.

Pro-Formance Motorsports - A good source for Castrol TTS 2-Cycle oil!
From their website: Castrol TTS is a fully synthetic 2-Stroke motorcycle engine oil that has been designed to maintain a tough, replenishing layer of protection on critical engine parts. Castrol TTS will provide maximum and sustained engine performance, even at wide open throttle and high engine speed conditions.  It delivers unbeatable protection against thermal and mechanical breakdown. Application:  Castrol TTS is suitable for all types of two-stroke Japanese or European motorcycle engines running on either unleaded or leaded fuel.  Designed for both oil injection and premix application, both have proven to mix readily with unleaded fuel.

Atair Aerospace - The Future of Parachute Technology!
The Chimera is the evolution of Atair's Powered HAHO Pod. It is a concept vehicle intended to test advanced concepts. The Chimera is an advanced air-droppable vehicle which transitions to a ground mobility vehicle once landed. The vehicle can take off again and fly after landing. At present, two models of the Chimera are being built and tested: an ATV-like vehicle and a two-seat fast-attack vehicle with ducted fan propulsion.


Wikipedia page for Powered Paragliding
Powered Paragliding (aka paramotoring) is a form of ultralight aviation where the pilot wears a small motor on his/her back (a paramotor) and runs into the air with lift from a paraglider wing. In many countries, including the United States, it is minimally regulated and requires no license. The low and slow flying capability, 'open' feel, portability, low equipment and maintenance costs, and safety aspects for this type of flying are considered its greatest merits.

Paraglider and motor technology continue to evolve. Wing speed, motor reliability, and safety margins increase year after year. Read more here.

We apologize, but due to the fluctuation in the dollar exchange rate, many of our suppliers are unable to provide us with consistent pricing on the products we purchase from them.

DISCLAIMER: Please read and be sure you thoroughly understand this disclaimer before flying an ultralight aircraft. Paramotors, Powered Paragliders, PPG, PPG Trikes, Hang Glider Trikes, Weight shift Control Trikes - any of these small aircraft that weight less than 254 pounds and have a tank less than 5 gallons are considered Ultralights. These are single-place (solo) flying machines for sport aviation only during daylight hours. Ultralight flying is an extremely demanding sport requiring exceptional levels of attention, judgment, maturity and self discipline. It is unlikely that you will be able to participate in it safely unless you make a conscious and continual commitment to your own safety. Ultralight aircraft flying is an inherently dangerous sport and may result in injury and death even when practiced by a competent pilot using proper equipment. Ultralights are not covered by product liability insurance, nor have they been designed manufactured or tested to any federal or state government airworthiness standards or regulations. Do not fly them unless you are willing to assume personally all risks in the sport of ultralight flying, and all responsibility for any property damage, injury, or death which may result from your use of this activity. Safe operation of any ultralight aircraft requires a pilot proficiency equivalent to that of a Novice Solo Pilot or in some cases a BFI (Basic Flight Instructor), as well as an equivalent level of knowledge and understanding of those wind and weather conditions which may compromise the pilot's safe control of the ultralight. In particular, be advised that gusty winds or turbulent conditions may interfere with even an expert pilot's ability to safely control an ultralight aircraft, and may cause it to crash. Never take anything for granted in aviation. If you are in doubt about anything, stop and figure it out immediately. By purchasing this item, you assume sole responsibility for your safety and hold harmless the retailer and manufacturer for injury or death resulting from your use of this item.
