It is FitzGeralds belief that members of the ultralight community are obligated to learn from more experienced aviators. There is no need to "re-invent the wheel" every time a novice takes to the air. That is why his previous productions and the new release, "A Beginners Guide to Powered Parachutes" provide novices with an opportunity to learn from top, experienced aviators in a casual "discussion" video format. "A Beginners Guide to Powered Parachutes" was shot and edited over a 2.5 year span at locations in Kansas, Missouri, Colorado and Texas.. In addition to the talks with the instructors, there are numerous "music video" segments featuring Powered Parachutes flying to the accompaniment of music written and performed by FitzGerald.
