Bill Stoll (USPPA Instructor /Member # 886)
I started out with the standard thirst for adventure, and flying ultralights seemed to fit. I initially started in the 90’s with the buget priced mind and purchase of a old design weight-shift ultralight called a Eiper preformance (similar to Quicksilver now). Basically it was a hanglider with a 100cc Yamaha pusher type engine.. seated upright on a plastic swing seat.
I taught myself and learnt that this wasn’t the smartest but after incidents I succeeded to master that flying.
Eventually because of lack of a hangar and long setup and tear down time I searched out another way to get into the air and yet have money for other hobbies.
I found PPG on the internet and seen locally at EAA in Oshkosh…
I searched and spent money on used gear through the internet (e-bay) and found that gear and my money was not spent wisely. When I went for instruction and learned more about the sport. My wing was shot and my motor was not very comfortable in the air.
