Selling Spartan Powered Parachute.
I've enjoyed 2 flights in Alexandria, MN and 4 flights in Mason City, IA
with this wonderful 2 seat powered Parachute.
After Heart Surgery valve replacement and loss of my job I have to let it
go.
Asking $8,000.
I will deliver it anyplace inside Minnesota.
It's flight ready anytime you are with a 500sq ft parachute and powerful
Rotex engine.
It is well known in Aviation that powered parachutes are the safest flight
vehicle there is.
There are only 3 controls. A throttle to make the engine go faster or
slower which makes you (and passenger) go up or down at a max rate of around
6ft per second up or down. And two foot pedal control bars to turn left or
turn right.
Besides adjusting your climb/decent/or level flight with the throttle your
hands are actually free to take pictures adjust the digital flight control
monitor that will show everything from engine temp and horsepower, to fuel
levels and distance in feet to ground.
It's the safest because even if the engine dies or you run out of gas the
fastest rate of decent without any engine power is 6ft per second which if
someone lands without touching the controls (uncontrolled landing without
engine power) the G-Force landing is equal to a 2 foot fall from ground
level. Aka your walking away without injury.
