    Hi and welcome! You are in one of those annoying places where there are no instructors for many a mile. I may be wrong but am fairly sure you are going to need to travel a fair way. We teach people from Scotland (I would say 2-3 a year) most will come down in the summer for a week or so to get the lump of it done. You could also look at doing a course overseas depending on your situation. Welcome to the Paramotor Club! SW

    They are as safe as the person that owns them apparently, you are more likely to have an accident on the way to the airfield than while flying. ( I have been told this a number of times by different instructors over the years ) Seems legit, but not sure where the stats are published. SW

    If you want to buy stuff, maybe a book to tickle ones fancy while also being actually valuable knowledge I would be tempted also to get on with your training as soon as you can, most of the decent schools will be fully booked by the time the summer is here. Either way, see you soon at one of the events no doubt. SW

    Is it safe to assume you will be getting some instruction? If so, your best option by far would be to use the Schools kit until you have flown a couple of times at least before thinking about kit. There will be people on the field who you can talk to and of course your instructor will advise. SW

    Hi and welcome to the Paramotor Club In a nutshell, the wing would need to be different for sure, the motor could be the same if selected correctly at the start SW

    It looks like it may go some what on a mini viral.... Its been shared by a USA group with over 2 million members and going up by about 100 views every 2 mins lol It HAD to be done as an antidote to the recent embarrassing shambles of an ad campaign lolol SW :D

    If you like it, please do share it It's an antidote to the current 'snowflake' adverts.

    If you are seeing massive differences in price, I would just make sure you use one of the dealers from the Ozone website. If it sounds too good to be true, it normally is. Parajet are Ozone importers. SW

    If you are in contact with them, I would love to make an offer for the manuals database!, do you know who owned it?? And welcome @grumble56! SW

    Hi mate, on the iPhone I have to click the zig zag (route) icon along the top and it's in that menu. They are super happy to talk to people and help, so if you have not already sussed it just give um a quick bell 01235 227 250 If your phone was here, I am sure it would take me a second, I would say take a spin down to my house (and you are more than welcome) but you will drive past The RunwayHD offices on your way if you did SW

    Im my mind, not only is the UK a great place to fly Paramotors, Dartmoor is one of the very best places in the UK to fly a Paramotor!!! Your super lucky to live in that area!! SW

    until
    Due to the success of the last Bore Chasers events V the field size, there will once again be a limit of 130 pilots for this one. If you want a place then YOU MUST RSVP please. ONLY 'PILOTS' NEED TO RSVP A PLACE. As a well known 80's artist once said, "if your names not down, your not coming in" If you have not been to this one before, I am sure that all who have will agree that it's not one to be missed! The location of the take off field is just perfect for following the tides that will be passing though over the weekend. We will have the bar team back to take care of drinks. For food, we can cater for ALL. (a vegan menu) and some amazing sounding additions to the norm (as well as the norm of course) Camping for Tents, caravans and motorhomes is FREE. Limited family / holiday accommodation is available walking distance from the flying field. (ideal for those who would like a bit of luxury) Please contact Kathy Turner on 07970 771 039 for information, availability and pricing. As always, FULL MEMBERS ENTRY IS FREE. Non Paid members, £30 Please pay on arrival. If you are not a full member please consider joining before hand (link below to VIP membership).
