Meet The Team

Justin Fox

Justin has had a passion for aviation since a young age and later fell in love with the most free form of powered flight we get to enjoy with paramotors. He has been flying paramotors since 2014 and was formerly co-owner of FlyMi PPG. Justin went on to become a USPPA Certified Instructor. His passion is to promote fun safe growth and preserve this amazing sport.

He is currently serving as the EAA ultralight and LSA Councilman so you can find him working at the ultralight field during AirVenture Oshkosh in charge of the paramotors and helping the ultralight aircraft.

Alexis Quintana

Alexis grew up in Colorado and spent 6 years working in aviation. During that time she got her FAA Aircraft Dispatcher certificate and started learning to fly airplanes. After discovering paramotors, she moved to Texas to learn to fly these amazing ultralights and became a USPPA Certified Instructor. She worked with Lone Star Paramotor for two years and then joined forces with Justin after moving north to start Leading Edge PPG in January 2022.

She is currently serving as the Vice President for the USPPA helping advance the direction of the organization as it works to provide more value to paramotor pilots in the US.

Leading Edge PPG is a USPPA recognized school following the USPPA syllabus and working with only USPPA certified instructors to ensure all students are provided with the best possible trainers and the safest instruction.

the training

All of our training courses focus on a mix of practical skills and theoretical knowledge. There is a lot more than simply practical skill involved in being a paramotor pilot.

The beginner course includes about 20 hours of ground school covering regulations, airspace, weather, motor maintenance, glider design, safety, and first flights. Out on the field, you are brought through a building blocks system starting with a tandem flight, kiting the glider, motor simulation, lean backs, glider towing, and taxi practice all leading up to first pilot solo flights.

We have multiple training options including both foot launch and trike training, beginner to intermediate training, and multiple scheduling options to best suit your needs.
