In 1996 I put my first powered parachute together in my basement.

Then I learned how to fly it.

Sold my first one and started to build my own in late 1998

Duct tape and PVC pipe worked good for building a model.

I finished the first skymaster in June of 1999.

The first machine was strong and fun to fly. But it was along way from the finished product. So I changed it to this.

This one was a lot better but it needed some small changes.

The next one was very good. So good this one took the  Grand Champion and Flex Wing  Champion awards.

This is the finished model for 2001.
