Sunday and Wednesday, April 16 and 19, 2023 – Handling Heavy Winds at Isabela + continue Training to Micah Greenberg…

We returned to Isabela, but this time we found it with strong winds that prevailed all week. This limited our activities, but even so, we managed to meet some flight commitments.

The instructor Luis Ruiz together with his son Ian were doing Demo flights of the Santos Despiau family. They were father, son and grandson (all named Santos), as well as Paola, the daughter of Santos. They arrive from Rio Piedras to live their flight experience. Also present in the area were the pilots and family of Team Kamikazes, Mario Muñiz and his wife Ivonne, and Sammy Badillo.

The wind intensity was strong as mentioned, so, Both Luis and Ian were assisted in their takeoffs and landings by pilots Mario Muñiz and Sammy Badillo. After we managed to made the 4 Demo Flights, the Despiau family was very happy with their experiences and that’s what it’s all about 💪. Later we need to postpone the flights of Luis and Serena from Carolina. They’ll return in a future date.

During the week, the Instructor Luis Ruiz, made modifications to one of his paramotors for personal use. Hes beloved and The industry-leading Parajet Maverick. This time he changed the Throttle from the left side to the right, and likewise he was making adjustments to the carburetor, as well as changing the propeller for a slightly larger one.

These changes were tested in Villa Pesquera Isabela, and in turn, we continued the training of one of the new students of the Team, Micah Greenberg, who has already begun to dominate the inflation of the paraglider. In the next few days we will continue with the progress of both Micah and the rest of the students.
