Amriki doing bezti of India, gareebi dekhne aaya hai



@Krishna with Flute @Lulldapull @Guru Dutt @Bagheera0084

Circa 2011 I saw one big (tall and hefty) head-shaved firang (most prolly American) in person. He was touring India in wake of 2008 global financial crises. Anger was clear from his facial expression. He was doing rounds in the commercial centre of the town, observing the area around him. I alighted from bus, left bus stand and returned after finishing my purchase in the market. He was still around. Clicking photos of poor without consent or warning, at some further distance patronizingly offering money to poor street children, etc. I should have asked him, "I have been observing you. What are you doing here?"
 
Ultralight testing fun in rural Bangladesh by a totally inexperienced son of a farmer.

YouTube was his only guide. Shallow pump engine and some tubing and silkspan.


very nice, he made the whole thing himself ?

in the west/US, you can order kits for motored paragliders

paramotors? too.. running takeoff with a big fan on your back and a parachute.. check Tucker Gott on YouTube, amazing stuff. It'll never fly in India, but, with all our over-regulation.. you even gotta be careful flying your regular DJI etc drones here.. they'll just randomly harass you, the cops.
