It's not my parachute, but I believe he had it made at Performance Designs.

Do you own it? I thought there were rules against printing and advertising... I want to put my company on a powered parachute... I am in Minnesota.

Also... great pictures of the Luecke in south Texas

No, I don't own it, I only took the photos.

As long as you're not being paid by someone, you can put whatever you want. Advertising for your own company would be fine, many powered parachute companies used to put their phone numbers on chutes.

That's an elaborate motor on there, not your average chainsaw power plant. :)

Yeah, it's a Rotax 912, 100HP. It powers many airplanes now, so you can imagine what it does on a powered parachute!

Hmmmm....the phrase "Nothing flies like a Deere" comes to mind...a little paraphrasing there, but appropriate under the circumstances.
