The supply of used paramotors seems to have slowed down a bit. There were loads over the summer months. I think it's almost like driving, you find your own technique 😊 -

No, not me. I'm still looking. Now that i've done my first Off-Comms flight i will be keen to start acquiring bits. I even landed on my feet this time. I think talking to myself out loud helped me line things up. -
Are you one of the lucky ones having a new Maverick delivered this week?

Thank you. I can't wait for the next! Currently shopping around for the equipment. My credit card is whispering at me like the little shoulder devil.

Instructors tend to teach flaring in stages (eg. ears, waist, full), to try and reduce the thinking you have to do. In reality the flare is one continuous, but managed pull on the brakes. If there is little wind....Your aim is to keep your feet off the ground right up to the point where the wing fully stalls and you are then on the ground. In the perfect flare, sideways on you would see starting to flare with feet just off the ground then continuing to flare, pulling just enough brake to keep off the ground, so you travel horizontally without losing any more height, then as the wing stalls you drop onto the ground and run off the remainder (if any) of the speed. This is the perfect flare, that you should aim for EVENTUALLY. At first, you don't want to flare late (as you might hit the floor!), so I always say start the flare at 6 feet off the ground, but as you flare allow your height to continue falling until feet just off the ground, then hold it there, then run. Just imagine your hands are like an altitude control. You should be using a smooth movement from start of flare to fully hands down (in little wind). If you flare too much then you either gain height, or finish the flare, with wing stalling, while your feet are still some height above the ground. If you flare too little, you either run very fast or hit too hard and end up on a knee. If there is some wind (8mph+) you can usually flare to a stop and no running needed.
