Was I nervous? A tad. Was I ready?\u00a0Flippin\u2019 absolutely!<\/p>\n<p>I woke up on this morning ready. When I got to the shop, the guys had some OLD HONKIN huge Paramotor waiting for me by the simulator. They had me put it on and I\u00a0couldn&#8217;t\u00a0believe how ungodly heavy it was. I\u00a0couldn&#8217;t\u00a0even walk with it! It kept hitting the backs of my calves and I was pissed! This thing did NOT look like the<a class=\"colorbox\" href=\"http:\/\/blackhawkparamotor.com\/\"> BlackHawk Paramotor<\/a> that I was expecting to fly. There was NO WAY on god\u2019s green earth that I was going to be able to launch this thing. Forget how heavy it was, the fuel tank and the lower frame hitting the bottoms of my legs made it impossible. How could anyone launch this beast?<\/p>\n<p>Ahhhh! It turns out that it was all a joke. Good one guys! They put a Flat Top on my back! Rick rolled open the shop door and there sat a brand new<a class=\"colorbox\" href=\"http:\/\/blackhawkparamotor.com\/parmotors\/blackhawk-90-paramotor\/\"> BlackHawk R90<\/a> and the machine was beautiful! I loved the black and red coloring, the shiny exhaust, and the motor. It was so tiny! I\u00a0couldn&#8217;t\u00a0wait to put this machine on my back. Doing so was such a sigh of relief and a major excitement. The weight, and feel of the <a class=\"colorbox\" href=\"http:\/\/blackhawkparamotor.com\/\">BlackHawk<\/a>, compared to the \u201djoke machine\u201d was a world of difference. The unit was light and felt very comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>After drooling over my <a class=\"colorbox\" href=\"http:\/\/blackhawkparamotor.com\/parmotors\/blackhawk-90-paramotor\/\">BlackHawk R90<\/a>, they hung me in the simulator. The simulator is it&#8217;s a tool that lifts you off the ground so someone can\u00a0adjust the unit so that it hangs at the proper angle. For me, that was about 2-3 degrees leaned back. The simulator is also used for you to learn\u00a0how to get in and out <a href=\"http:\/\/usparamotornews.com\/ppg-virgin-4-moment-of-truth\/\" class=\"colorbox\"> &#8230;read more<\/a> <br \/>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/usparamotornews.com\/ppg-virgin-4-moment-of-truth\/\" class=\"colorbox\">US Paramotor News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Heidi Lee Continued from PPG Virgin 3 Today was the day!
