It was nice to meet you last weekend…always good to put a face to a name. You’ve got a great a place, and the improvements you’re doing will make it that much more enticing to train and fly at your ranch…I am looking forward to visiting again!
I’d like to express to you what a great experience I had training with Rick Hallowes! My wife and I were warmly greeted by Rick upon our arrival at his home. He had all of my equipment, that I would be taking home, laid-out and described the unfamiliar items to me. As you know we got off to a slow start with the broken axle on the quad, but I thoroughly enjoyed the time watching you and the other pilots flying about.
Although I felt my progression was relatively slow (given my past experience with free-flight), Rick was very kind with his patience and diligence. His knowledge and experience on both the equipment and his ability to convey procedures was greatly appreciated. He was able to make the most use of our time with taxiing during the calmer parts of the days and teaching about the equipment and kiting during the windier conditions. Alas, during the final hours I was able to get aloft! What a great time! It took a few minutes to get the feel of a different wing and a motor, but Rick coached me through it with ease. We were able to perform a couple of low level fly-bys and landings before darkness set upon the field. Rick also took several pictures which he has since e-mailed me. Good memories!

Just wanted to tell you all at Paratoys,"Blackhawk" that I received my new Talon 175 paramotor and really happy with the quality built frame and engine. This thing is amazingly well engineered and built.
Last sunday I had the opportunity to solo for the first time with this unit. The engine has so much power and climbed very nicely. Smooth acceleration and not much torque steer when I hammered on the throttle.
Really want to thank all at Paratoys who have made my dream of flying a reality! Words can't describe how in awe I was just after my first solo on the Talon 175.
Dealing with Mike at Paratoys was very pleasurable. Very good customer service. I have recently been back for spare parts such as an extra prop and drive belt, "just in case."
I look forward to more business with you guys in the future! Already been planning my next opportunity for flight!
