Having watched that and not having yet trained to fly a paramotor I am bginning to worry I might not be cut out for it. My stomach was lurching and had a horrible tension in my head!

Fresh Breeze have some powerful motors.
Check in with Piers Dent at Fresh Breeze UK
Most of the range can be low hang points too!
Cheers

Hi,
thanks for that link. Great advice. Re teaching, its a mine field. Who do you trust, you just have to take a teachers word for it.

Cheers for the replies so far. As I like my food I have decided to go down the gym route for losing weight. I started last week with 20 mins rowing, 20 mins cross trainer and 20 mins treadmill. I will up this until I am doing 1.5 hours of cardio type work over the next few weeks. I envisage being in the gym 3-4 days per week.
I don't have a teenage weight in mind and am looking really at what I weighed when in my late 20's at about 19st, which would be nearly a 6st loss.
I should be able to comfortably achieve that before next year.
I think if I am going to get a brand new wing, I might get one with some company advertising on it and put a proportion through the books
As for the paramotor, the favourites so far in my limited experience (i.e. Nil) Would be the Flat Top 200 or Evo and the Bailey 4 stroke 200.
If spending all that money does not scare me shitless then paramotoring certainly will

Hi,
I am interested in learning to fly a paramotor and as I am based in North Yorkshire, I have done my homework and will be training with AXB sports.
From what I can work out I will want my own kit as soon as I have trained. But the cost is really out of the question until next year now.
But I really want to get an idea of cost.
I am very interested in flying places rather than just 30 min flights so interested in endurance.
My next problem is that I am 6'7", weigh 155kg 58 inch chest etc.
As I am not training until next year and having read a few blog posts I have decided to use the time to get fit and lose weight.
Even so I envisage a trimmed down me will still be 120-130kg.
Am I going to be able to get reasonably priced kit that will last and get me off the ground without having to re purchase the following year?
Cheers
Gareth

Hi,

Thanks
