Hi Eddie and Dawn ,
I
had the pleasure and opportunity to fly Phil Dietro's
Pegasus Powrachute this past Friday in Apple Valley, CA.
This is the first plane I have flown other than my Golden
Eagle, and I gotta tell ya, it was a fantastic plane to
fly. It was about 35 deg early Friday morning in the high
desert, and Phil took it up for a few minutes landed and I
got in the back with him. We flew around for a while and
then he let me fly it with a PD 500 chute. This machine was
quick, responsive, and had lots of power. I flew for about
20 min doing a few touch n go's and landed. Phil got in the
back with me and we went out towards the mountains for about
1/2 hour. I am very very impressed with the Powrachute
Pegasus. Extremely stable, quick inflation of the chute, and
turning couldn't have been easier. What a thrill it was to
fly, and also the view in CA. are fantastic, with the snow
covered mountains and terrain. Thanks Phil for the great
time and letting me fly your plane. I have not flown for
over 2 months here in Ohio. I left Palm Springs today at 70,
and came home to reality to 19........
Here are some pictures of Phil and his plane and some views
of us flying.
