    Every time you use one of those, a butterfly dies. And the useless waste remains will last approximately 20 million light years and 6 months. SW

    I would start by looking at something along the lines of a Moster+ 185 (25bhp) which has bucket loads of power for the 'larger gentleman' 21bhp would most likely be a 150cc+ SW

    We are teaching a 79 year old at the moment (a couple of them in fact ) 240Lb is not actually that much at all!!! (That's only 104 KG to us lot) If you can dream it, you can do it!! Welcome to the Paramotor Club! SW

    Of all the people I thought already had the RT licence, I would have put money on you. lol The course and exam are quite easy, and many can learn and pass in a weekend. (just remember to relay the Mayday and then the stand down) SW

    A tank of petrol next to a spark plug and a hot exhaust is arguably more dangerous. SW

    It's always a good idea to make it easy for people to find you if needed. SPOT trackers are a great option. (The price of them includes emergency rescue insurance globally, they even covered me to cross the Sahara!!) SW

    Android version came out early 2017 I think dude https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.airboxaero.runwayhd&hl=en_GB Same discount code will work SW

    Dartmoor Many times in the past but not recently. SW

    The cost comes from the air charts updated daily. (By NATS) Each paper chart, costs around £25 (of which there are 6 to cover the UK) The paper charts are out of date the day you buy them. The free / cheep apps that pretend to offer the same, use open source data (the same as we had on this site until I noticed quite a few things wrong and removed it for liability reasons) and should not be relied upon for aviation navigation by any serious pilot.

    Hi Jim, I would recommend that you do your training on School equipment and not to buy your own until you have had a flight or two. Aside from your list, you can add the RunwayHD app which is a fully NATS approved Navigation, NOTAM, route planning app. SW

    Actually legally, it's a pain in the arse for a land owner to take money.... its much simpler for them to not. (which just means a decent £100+ bottle of single malt once a year) instead I find I still have access to all of the fields I have used in the past, and the thing they remember me for was the posh whisky (read cheep rent) SW
