My newest hobby:

"Tweety" A powered parachute (motorized parachute, PPC) is a parachute with motor and wheels. The aircraft's airspeed is typically about 25–35 mph. PPCs operate safely at heights ranging from a few feet off the ground to altitudes as high as 10,000+ feet. But typical operating heights are between 500 and 1500 feet. Equipped with the standard 5 or 10 gallon fuel tank, PPCs can typically be flown for about three hours. They have very short take-off and landing rolls, sometimes less than 100 ft. PPCs are considered by many to be safer than normal fixed-wing aircraft because of their inherent stability and stall resistance. ~ From Wikipedia ~
