Saturday Jake and Matt B came over and we spent the entire afternoon unboxing, assembling and performing the hang tests for their new Power2Fly EVO 8s. Dimitri stopped by and picked up his new Parajet Maverick. He later assembled it on his own in his apartment in about 20 minutes. Some paramotors come quite a bit more assembled than others obviously.
Sunday we all met at the airport and did the ground portion of the break in process on the Vittorazi Moster 185s. It's a rather lengthy process for these engines. 2 hours of on the ground break in followed by about the same in the sky. It was a bit windy and bumpy so I was the only one that ended up leaving the ground this weekend. Next up for these guys is the fun part of the break in process, the flying! We also had a third Matt show up at the Madcity Paragliding headquarters to try his hand at kiting the wing. I can tell he will catch on quickly and by flying with us some time soon.

Paragliding requires an ample amount of effort that is why the crew are really busy in terms of preparation. Actually, this is the very first time I saw how it really works that is why I am shocked and wanted to try it at the same time. But I know it would cost me too much because paragliding cannot be experienced on a daily basis. How I wish I can experience it anytime soon so that I will know the rush and basically how it feels!
