Paramotor Spark Plug Color: What Does it Mean?

Paramotor Spark Plug Color: What Does it Mean?   About This Guide: This section provides a visual representation of how the Spark Plug can look depending on how the engine is running. If the engine is running too lean, the spark plug can look greyish white. If the engine is running too rich the spark plug will look black, sometimes a glossy black if it’s really rich. The goal is to get a good dark coffee brown color on the spark plug, which represents the correct color on the spark plug itself, and assures you that the Fuel to Air mixture on your carb

BlackHawk Represents PPG at International Aviation Industry Forum!

BlackHawk Represents PPG at International Aviation Industry Forum!  BlackHawk Working to Bring PPG to Asia!Over the past few years, BlackHawk Paramotors USA has been working hard with the Chinese Government to bring civil aviation / sport aviation to China! This could be a huge opportunity for the entire sport as a whole and allow thousands of additional people to realize their dream of becoming a Pilot! Up until recently, many different popular types of sport aircraft (including Powered Paragliders) weren’t available to the general public in China. After several trips to China and a very successful International Sports Aviation Industry Forum at EAA 2018, the project

Where Are Velocity / BlackHawk Paragliders Made? (SOLVED)

Where Are Velocity / BlackHawk Paragliders Made? (SOLVED)   So, where are Velocity Paragliders like the Edge, Core, Elektra, and Nitro made? Let’s settle an ongoing and somewhat ridiculous debate in the Powered Paragliding Community once and for all! Velocity Paragliders are (and have always been) made to the highest-standards in SOUTH KOREA! South Korea is well known (like Japan) for producing QUALITY products. For example, large companies like Samsung and LG are produced in South Korea. Sure, we pay quite a bit more to have our gliders made in South Korea, however, the unmatched quality of the final product and the ETHICAL treatment

Stuck in Another Country With a Paramotor?

Stuck in Another Country With a Paramotor?   Last year, our Head Instructor Joe Cruz headed down to Panama to train a group of students. When this vehicle got stuck in the sand, it only made sense to put the Paramotor on the back of it and try to push it out right? Well, that didn’t work out quite as well as we wanted (lol)! All joking aside, this was an amazing place for students to take their first flights! BlackHawk has one of the largest Dealer & Training Center networks in the world. If you live in another country and want to get

The Lost Coast of California… FOUND!

The Lost Coast of California… FOUND!   If you’ve never visited the Lost Coast of California, you are in for some of the most “unbelievably phenomenal rugged beauty the Country has to offer!” This area is a little too rugged for paved roads, making it the perfect area to explore with a BlackHawk Paramotor. When the Pacific Coast Highway System was being build, engineers decided to go around this 100-mile section of the coastline – unable to tame the wild landscape. For those who dare to explore the Lost Coast, they will be rewarded with some of the most spectacular (and untouched) scenery in

Rise & Shine… It’s Time to Fly PPG!

Rise & Shine… It’s Time to Fly PPG!   Paramotor Training is where the whole adventure begins. Our students put in some serious hours each day to ensure they maximize their time with our Instructors. This isn’t just “a few hours a day.” This is a complete and comprehensive Training Program where every hour counts. We want to make sure that when a student leaves our supervision, they have all the skills to fly safely and with confidence! As Head Instructor Joe Cruz puts it: “At the BlackHawk Ranch in California, the rooster doesn’t wake us up… We wake up the rooster

10 Ways to FLY BEFORE YOU BUY a Paramotor With BlackHawk!   We understand that getting into the sport is a BIG investment for most people. We’ve seen quite a few posts on Social Media lately from people expressing their frustration with being “required to invest thousands into something they haven’t even tried yet.” Purchasing an entire Paramotor Package before getting the chance to explore the sport is (and should be) a concern for potential Pilots. At BlackHawk, we want to make sure that everyone can experience this life-changing form of flight without the “pressure to buy now.” We’ve even seen Dealers offer “free

Make Paraglider Kiting Fun… AGAIN!

Make Paraglider Kiting Fun… AGAIN!   Remember how exciting it was to kite your Glider for the first time? We’ve all had that “ah-ha! moment” when the glider finally starts doing exactly what we want it to! There’s also nothing like opening up a brand new glider and kiting it for the first time. The next time the winds aren’t optimal, consider practicing your ground handling skills. Try sitting on the ground and kite (like Mike Robinson pictured above) and see if you can keep the glider hovering a few feet above the ground. Or, try it one-handed (like our Instructor Joe Cruz in
