I am 67yrs and have logged 8700.0 hrs flying , crop dusting airplane and helicopter, and a UL instructor, I was told to get this book, after I purchased a pwr chute. the pwr chute pilot said read this and you can fly withmy hrs of experience. well I got the book . And if you read up on how to fly a chute is will give you a chance, to be sucessful . I did look at a video tape, also but the book will help you . You should not fly without it. The main thing is to read on how to set the chute up, and first taxi. the rest will follow but READ. great investment. and only AMAZON the best price, and service. YOU can contact me if you would like [e-mail]
