I would like to think that Alex has a school insurance policy (which will cover you for 3rd parties while under instruction) I would clarify this with him but he would be bonkers to not have it so fairly sure he will have. SW

I think that it's more a case that most people are not proactively looking for a site. How many of you can say you have never tracked and contacted the landowner of a suitable field? I tend to motivate my guys a little bit when getting to the end of training and most have a site to fly from that is not the airfield. It can feel a little odd at first when contacting people without invite so a top tip from me would be to start off by making contact with owners who are already using the land for things other than farming to make money. At least this way they will be easy to talk to as you are a potential customer rather than a salesman. Then when your feeling a bit braver roll out your plan if needed. You can also go for 2-3 fields and reduce the number of times you take off from each one per year (making it easy to get them) It takes a proper grumpy landowner to say no to 5-10 days a year. Of course they do exist and don't take it to heart if you do get one that says no. If at first you don't succeed....... Don't be scared to have a conversation!! If they say no 'because' of something that you feel is not a valid assumption don't just nod and agree as you walk off. It's likely that this will be your only chance so address his or her concerns there and then Try a couple of 'OK' fields / owners of first rather than your dream field. Its good to get a little practice. GOOD LUCK!!!! SW

It may help if you include a little information about yourself. SW

Sad news My thoughts are with his friends and family. SW.

Hi Kieron and welcome to the Paramotor Club. As an instructor I would have to suggest that you would be 100% better off waiting until you had at least been shown properly how to ground handle the wing. Any bad habits you develop while 'sussing it out yourself' will then have to be undone by your instructor and will most likely end up taking more time overall. My advice, at least one lesson, then home practice SW

And the weather of course, It's fairly common for people to spend a week overseas and only get a day or two done because it's not suitable weather. (Meaning another week off work if you want to go back) SW

I would have thought Airways was your best bet? Welcome to the Paramotor Club! SW

Your better off posting a message on the main forum for a response to this mate https://www.paramotorclub.org/forum/1-general-paramotor-discussion/ See you soon! SW

Hi Lee, and welcome to the Paramotor Club Although you don't 'need' to buy any books before training it is of course a good idea For training, these guys will most likely be your best bet: http://www.yorkshireparamotors.co.uk/index.html https://www.airways-airsports.com/ Some books and great DVD's https://www.paramotorclub.org/store/category/5-books-and-dvds/ SW

If you are in Dorset, it would not be the end of the world for you to travel up to this neck of the woods Our resident tandem pilot and instructor is Ben Raven who I am sure will be in touch. Welcome to the Paramotor Club! SW

The Solo has 'for want of a better word' an extended range for more experienced pilots. SW

Hi John, no problem at all!! Always good to do your research. You have my number, so any other questions... please do get in touch. SW

Best of luck with the op mate! SW

These parts are rarer than rocking horse poo in the UK. Even 5 years ago finding parts was a tricky business. It's always worth contacting Parajet in case they have something laying about but I very much doubt it. I will keep half an eye out for anything V1 related and wish you luck in your hunting. Welcome to the Paramotor Club! SW

Hi Vik, welcome to the Paramotor Club I left it a while in the hope that someone local to you would reply, we teach loads of people from London and surrounding area so I know they exist!! They are clearly too busy eating Jellied Eels lol If you check out this link: https://www.paramotorclub.org/communitymap/ you will be able to locate them and send them a message (you need to be logged in for the above link to work) Again, welcome! SW

Try Paul Haxby (who is your closest active instructor that I am aware of http://www.axbsports.com/about.html Welcome to the Paramotor Club. SW

Hi George, welcome to the Paramotor Club Not sure where you are in the world but if you are joining the British Forces, you will soon find (after training) that you will have LOADS of time off There are also quite a few existing members of the armed forces who fly Paramotors here in the UK Good luck with both the military training and the Paramotor training! SW

-4c I am fairly sure it will have been frozen SW

I does tickle me watching someone talking about the (part x) which is 3g lighter than the next lightest part and so on (all while munching on a pasty and chips (or similar) lol Welcome to the Paramotor Club and thanks for sharing your projects here SW
