GyroplaneThe stability of the gyroplane is unrivaled thanks to its gyroscopic stability. It cuts through the air smoothly without letting you feel many bumps and controls are smooth and light. This allows you to fly the gyroplane in conditions when many other aircraft are uncomfortable to fly. Gyroplanes cannot stall, cannot spin, take much less space than any other aircraft with wings, can transport relatively easily in a trailer, can fly very slow, can handle very strong and crossed winds and mid-day turbulence with comfort and ease, takes small space to takeoff and can land in almost in its own length and can take you where you want to go at over 100 mph as well.

ParamotorParamotor (also called Powered Parachute or Powered Pararaglider) is the most rapidly developing form of aviation. This is because of the simplicity and low cost of the sport but also due to the fact that it is extremely safe and good fun!
It fits easily into the back of a car and allows you to fly at a fraction of the cost compared to other aircrafts. A license is required by Transport Canada to fly legally in Canada. We will help you through this process and share with you the fun times in the air. |
Ultralight TrikeCome on board "The Scout XC" and fly from our private airfield. Our motorized hang gliding, otherwise known as ultralight trike, is an experience of freedom and adventure that is unmatched. This aircraft is certified as a Special Light Sport Aircraft equipped by the best and most reliable 4-stroke 80HP Rotax 912UL engine ever made.
During the flight you will have the chance to be the pilot and steer the aircraft. Combine adrenaline and a sense of freedom by perfectly capturing the spirit of early aviation with an ultralight flight. We will provide you with a Round valley aerial tour and hands on flight experience that will leave you raving about it for a very long time. |
ParaglidingDiscover the world of paragliding and we will have you flying like an eagle in no time. Come see us and experience our introductory paragliding course or join us for a tandem flight with one of our knowledgeable instructors.
Tow launching is the easiest way to first experience a paragliding flight. Launching from the flat ground and gently ascending to altitude eliminates the nervousness typically associated with running down a hillside to become airborne. |
Powered ParachuteFlying the PPC is pure pleasure. No worries about stalls or spins. You can just relax and enjoy the experience. Speed is slow, about 30-mph at all times, although climb rate is comparable with many GA (general aviation) aircraft. Wind in your face is minimal (and yet exciting) and your hands are free for taking unbelievable photographs.
