What is your weight? Significantly more than 12 stones?

You wish! I wish! Frenchy is right. Paramotor forums are surprisingly light on sharing information. Trying to get the lowdown on individual machines before you make an expensive decision is like trying to get blood out of a stone. Of course you can get the manufacturer's spec. but it's no match for personal recommendation by people who own and have long experience of it.

Thanks Simon and 750. All useful info. It's a jungle out there and quite difficult to go into a purchase confident that you are making the right choice. You can go on the manufacturer's or the dealer's sales pitch, or the various specifications for each machine, but there's no substitute for personal experience of people with no particular vested interest. Have only got 5 hours on paramotors and 5 hours as club pilot, so Fusion may not be a recommendation, but have to balance that with quite a few 100 sq foot(ish) parachute descents. Decisions, decisions. Regards Nick

Hi First post. Had a couple of paramotors around 8 years ago but they were unreliable and decided to wait until technology improved. Was also heavily involved in other forms of flying. Interested to see your choice of equipment and trying to get opinions as to best equipment for me to get. Am under 12 stone. How do you fund the compact Volution for power? (I'm assuming the reliability is good).Ditto the Revolution - how are the launch characteristics? Reading around, I'm drawn to Volution, Macro, Lithuanian "Otto". Wing-wise to Rev'n and Fusion. Any comments / advice appreciated. Thanks Nick.
