    Anyone considering this should talk to me first. I have unfortunate feedback from this (after considering a PMC trip there) I don't want to publicise the name here, but everyone knows the person. Happy to chat via PM. I am not trying to make your mind up, just I would feel a tit if I said nothing. SW

    If you can dream it, you can do it It's not impossible that's for sure.... Take off and Landing distance will adjust will skill level but you can spot land a trike / quad if needed. Anything spiky is bad for your wing, you will want a good technique so that the wing tips never drag. SW

    An investigation is underway and an accident report will be available to all once concluded. Anything you hear before this can not be taken as fact. It takes time. SW

    Sounds horrible, but it will depend who you learned with and how well you have been taught to a degree. Most of the club sites will want to see a level of competency. Welcome to the Paramotor Club! SW

    Vans are both loaded, a van full of Pyro and a van full of event kit. Looking forward to seeing you all on Friday!!! Please bring a bin bag and take your rubbish home with you Signs will be on display from the postcode on this page. GL52 3PB is the closest postcode but NOT the location of our event. Time to get excited SW

    What is your current wing? The universal 1.1 is an amazingly slow launching wing when the trims are in. (many of our wiser / older gentlemen are using them) SW

    This is statistically not the cast as it happens Over the last 24 months facebooks 'groups' activity has reduced massively in favour of traditional forums and alternative providers. (ever since the massive data breach by FB) SW

    Boooo I wish. I ended up starring at about £50k's worth of kit not getting used for 4-5 months so had to sell it all. Soz SW

    Sorry to say that Membury is not a 'club site'... We are a busy school and it does not work having a gaggle of pilots milling about I am (I think) very close to securing a site locally for use as a Club site. You will of course be more than welcome to visit then To get your motor set back up correctly your best bet would be to pop over to @MOSS who is just outside of Newbury and has a Paramotor repair workshop. Welcome to the Paramotor Club. SW

    Hi Jay, and welcome to the Paramotor Club. When we are teaching people from further afield, they tend to have 2-3 days, then get a wing to practice with at home... then come back again and so on.... If we are clever about the weather we can get it done in 3-4 visits so not completely the end of the world. You could also look at doing a course overseas but you will most likely require some further training when back to the UK still. Where in Cornwall are you? SW

    This is a super sad bit of news that non of us ever want to read. I hope his friends and family can find some condolence in the knowledge that he was doing what he loved. SW.

    Ideally, you want to get the wing from a supplier who will do a proper hand over and explanation and not one that arrives in the post. SW

    Massive well done to all the PMC guys that flew this event (especially the new (ish) guys) It's super cool to watch people we have helped into the air taking a part in something like this SW

    Remind me the size mate, and maybe give me a quick call so I can understand why you need new ones when you have a mo SW

    www.paramotortraining.com @ Membury airfield is me recommending me for training. Lee is our local tandem guy @MOSS who can take you for a tandem flight if that's what you are after... fire him a PM (based Nr Boxford) SW

    I can order the risers tomorrow and fitting them is annoyingly time consuming but not hard to do. (happy to help you of course) SW
