I use this name because I built a bunch of electric PPG before named VoltAir. I designed gas machines before that and flew the lightest gas powered unit to date (12lbs motor/frame/cage) and later 17.9lbs up to 24 lbs machines with Boxer engines. I always gave various names to the contraptions (the BUG, the NewTron, the Piccolo, etc… ). My friends know Paul’s design as an Open PPG. I made quite many modifications from past experience to fit my personal needs (custom fit) as many other pilots do - fun! As you often see with boat names and when the owner lets’ say purchased a Sea Ray but gave it a name such as “High C’s” or “Vitamin Sea” etc… It is purely a personal thing. When people visit my school site and ask me about it I tell them all about OpenPPG
