About Leading Edge PPG
Paramotor Training • Professional Glider Inspections • Equipment Support
Justin and Alexis operate Leading Edge PPG in Southwest Michigan, providing paramotor training, glider inspection services, and equipment support for pilots across the United States.
Leading Edge PPG was built around a simple idea: pilots deserve high-quality instruction, meticulous equipment standards, and honest guidance they can trust.
From our training field to our glider inspection shop, everything we do is focused on helping pilots understand their equipment, build real flying skills, and enjoy the sport safely for years to come.
Why We Started Leading Edge PPG
Leading Edge PPG was created to provide pilots with the kind of training and equipment support we believe every pilot deserves.
Too often pilots are rushed through training or left guessing about the condition of their equipment. Our goal is to do things differently combining thorough instruction with careful equipment inspection so pilots can fly with confidence.
the Instructors Behind Leading Edge PPG
Two instructors dedicated to helping pilots fly safely and understand their equipment.
How we give back to the community.
Justin and Alexis actively support organizations that promote safety, education, and responsible growth in powered paragliding.
Their involvement with the USPPA, EAA, and the Airythmia demonstration team helps introduce new pilots to the sport while supporting the broader aviation community.
United States Powered Paragliding Association (USPPA)
The USPPA works to preserve, promote, and advance the sport of powered paragliding by supporting instructors, promoting safety standards, and representing pilots within the aviation community.
Alexis currently serves in leadership within the organization, helping guide initiatives that support pilot education and responsible growth in the sport.
Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA)
Justin serves as an Ultralight Chairman representing the paramotor community with the EAA, providing guidance to pilots on ultralight aircraft and equipment safety.
He also regularly contributes to conversations within the community regarding ultralight aircraft regulations and safe paramotor operation.
Airythmia Paramotor Demonstration team

What We Do
Leading Edge PPG provides training and equipment services designed to help pilots fly safely and keep their gear performing at its best.
Paramotor Training
Our training programs focus on building safe, confident pilots through structured instruction and real-world flying experience.
Glider Inspection and Repair
Our glider shop performs professional paraglider inspections including fabric testing, line measurement, trim evaluation, and repair services.
Equipment Support
We help pilots understand their gear, maintain their equipment, and choose setups that match their flying goals.
Our Approach to Safety
Safety in paramotoring begins with understanding both the equipment and the conditions we fly in.
Our training emphasizes strong ground handling skills, understanding wing behavior, and developing good decision-making because flying safely always comes down to the choices pilots make.
In our glider shop, inspections are performed using manufacturer specifications and standardized testing methods to give pilots clear information about the condition of their equipment.
Based in Southwest Michigan
Leading Edge PPG trains pilots in Three Rivers, Michigan.
Students travel from across the Midwest to train with us, and we also travel nationally for aviation events, demonstrations, and community involvement.
Serving Pilots Nationwide

Pilots regularly ship their gliders and motors to our shop for inspection and repair services. Our Rapid Lines service provides fast turnaround for damaged lines so pilots can get back in the air quickly.
