    Geoff, I use a cover over my mic foam to defeat the wind noise ... but the cover is from an unusual source - leather riggers gloves. I cut the thumb off the glove and punched a few small holes in one face. The holes face my mouth, and any remaining wind noise is cancelled by the ANR mic. Using a new set of gloves ensures that the leather is quite soft. A very small cable tie around the mic stem keeps the cover secure. The mic is adjusted to be just touching my lips - works a treat for me. Let me know if you wish to view a photo. Peter

    I even think that a powered parachute (in the right conditions) is the perfect search platform for missing persons. They fly slow enough to thoroughly search a given area, yet are of course faster than searching on foot. Can circle to not take the observers eyes off the objective (fuel limitations apply obviously), and provide ground crews with pinpoint accuracy as to location, via GPS. Peter

    Welcome to the "Dark" side DS! - It won't take long before the RHS feels "proper", like a car (or an Aerochute, for that matter!). I really enjoyed your log of the TIF - please keep us informed of your progress. I'm jealous! Peter

    Jake, It really is quite fun flying about 3" above the ground, following a twisty set of (car) tyre tracks. Then the "slow" (60 - 70 km/hr) seems quite fast! Peter

    Yes - but of course with property owners permission, you could have a large area where you land, I suppose, and practise your "approaches". Peter
