this morning for a short flight, the wind was a bit gusty but he enjoyed his
flight nevertheless!! Kev stated, "Anytime in the air is a Great
Time".
13 Jan 08 - Rev glider SOLD - The Rev was sold today.
12 Jan 08 - Paramania Revolution Glider for Sale - I'm
selling my Paramania Rev 26 (Red). This glider only has 4 hours flight on it and
is in excellent condition. The Rev is a reflex glider and is great for pilots
who require more speed for those long XC flights. The reason for selling is due
to the 26 glider is a little large for my weight. Again, this wing is an
excellent XC glider and I'll be purchasing another similar reflex wing for my XC
excursions but, one size smaller for my weight category. For pilots
who are in the 175-200 lb this is a perfect size glider. Note* This is not
a beginner glider and you should have at least 50+ hours before considering this
type of wing. This glider new to your door is approx $4000.00. I'm
selling this nearly new wing for $2700.00 Firm. If you're interested or have any
questions regarding this glider you can contact me by E-Mail Frank@poweredparaglidingnewbrunswick.com
or my Cell 321-543-8660. Below is a pic of the glider

17 December 2007 - Life in Florida!! - Hi everyone, our
trip to Florida was uneventful. We arrived several days early so we stayed with
Mike Brits and Eric & Elisabeth Dufour (Paratour) for several days.
Boy, what a treat. I had a chance to fly with Jeff Goin the first morning taking
off in Eric's back yard. Several days following we flew every day in which we
took the famous para barge daily. Other pilots joined us such as Tim Kaiser and
other local Florida pilots. The weather was in the 80's and the flying sites are
outstanding. Here's a few pics of our time at Mike's place.
