Do It Yourself Flying Machine. An Almost Complete Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781326749378)

This book is an almost extensive guide to building your very own basic paragliding propulsion unit (paramotor). It follows the indepth engineering progress I made back in 2008/9 of my desire to get into powered flight on a shoestring budget. Utilizing an industrial 4 stroke single cylinder engine and mating it to a model aircraft propeller, I was able to achieve many successful flights. The book guides you through the whole process from fabricating the chassis to modifying the engine and installing the propeller. It includes relevant resources, information, data and estimated prices (where available) to help you speed through the entire project. Not only do you get to build such an amazingly simple means of personal powered aviation but if you already have the necessary paragliding/paramotoring training and equipment, you'll be able to get your D.I.Y. machine into the skies!
