paramotors and it's enough flying for me. I might join her as a passenger 

when she is trained, confident and ready, but I'm not in a hurry to take 

the passenger seat, I fly all the time in my paramotors and it gives me 

plenty of satisfaction.



Wow, 1000 feet! OK, I think we have that.


	


I'm with Mike on this one, a single 1000' strip takes the same acerage as 

two 500' strips and a Kolb handles a crosswind far better than a 

PPG.  Plus, part of the fun of a private strip is having friends drop in 

and 1000' makes that a lot easier.



No reason you can't fly both PPG and a Kolb, several of us in CT do... do I 

know you from the PPG list?

Sorry about that, yes my name is Francesco De Santis. My girlfriend's name 

is Dawn Shaffer.


	


Ah HA!



Small world eh Check?  But then aviation always is...



Stan Kasica's flying his Kolb more than his PPG nowadays, as am I... not 

that either of us will ever give up PPG...

Hi Dana,



I keep flying my paramotors, it's Dawn that bought the Kolb and wants to expand her flying activities to include a faster and different style of flying.



I just never get tired of soaring, I want to spend more time this coming summer in the sand dunes along the Michigan shoreline and paraglide without the motor.



I think it's best to come join the other threads, since this one is kind of a repeat of the other two I started.



I'm in charge of the logistics of setting and maintaining the grass strips and modifying the barn to become a hangar for the Kolb Mark 3 Dawn bought, those are the new challenges.



I have a nice machine shop set up here on the farm, Haas TM-1P milling center is the centerpiece, a few manual lathes to work the turning parts, looking to aquire a cnc lathe in the next 18 months and a nice press brake (I had to leave my Diacro press brake behind in Florida as I had already loaded 2 semi trailers to bring to Iowa and couldn't justify a 3rd).
