Of course I want to come. I'm in CLFS, Ashtead. A lift would be very much appreciated! Is it on Saturday or Sunday? I have a rugby match on Saturday, but I'll be around at 12:30, if its not too late. The weather forcast is looking good for the weekend! Cheers Rocky

Finally, I'm 16 (last month) . So, what route should I go now, I'm looking for instructors, around Surrey, and also in Wiltshire, as I will be staying there for Christmas. I'm also looking for a ground handling wing, as I can practice on my school's field . Also, when should I be considering in buying my kit? I'm looking at something like a Parajet, can somebody shine some light on it? Can people please point me in the correct direction if I'm doing anything wrong, or if I need anything else. Thanks Rocky

Sorry for the late reply, was preparing for my tuba exam. Well I've been flying my RC helis on the fields anyway, and they don't really care. I'm not that extreme to bunk off school, to go flying, as the people will know. I'm pretty sure that they will let me to let you come and take off from the playing fields, as you will be my guests. I will check with the groundskeeper, as I will also intend to do some wing handling on site anyway. I'll be better off paramotoring anyway from Freemens instead of gliding (too short for even a reverse winch ~ 200m) . One problem though, between me and my groundskeeper, that the fuel for my heli cannot be stored on site , as a point of info. Ian- Do you know Epsom Hockey Club? I'm playing there right now, as a keeper and sometimes outfield. Also, you started flying at 12, I'm looking into a gliding club also as an alternative as well in Wycombe to get my solo there next year. I play rugby against Epsom College from time to time... Dan- I've got little problems with travelling to sites, as I've also got no problem from Freemens to Wycombe Air Park. I'll look into get to Lambourn. Probably near Christmas, 'cos my uncle is moving to around the Swindon area, and I'm staying with him over the Christmas holidays. But I have to agree that its abit far away from Freemens. I'm not sure about fields, but do you know Epsom Hockey Club- they have a field there, and although not 100% sure, but they may let you to launch from there. I'll confirm with the groundskeeper and the head soon.

Hi guys, Are there any clubs around in Surrey? I just want to come along one weekend and see what you guys do, as I'm considering joining the game, and my mum agreed to donate money towards my kit for my 16th birthday . Also if anybody knows City of London Freemen's near Ashtead, I board there, so I can do some ground handling work before I get the rest of the kit . I just perfer to learn in a club though, as it is the safest and more social route. Thanks in advance , rocky

Thanks for that. That looks good to me , but is 100cc enough to get air under my feet or not? Rocky

Hi guys, I've found a package on the web, for me to buy and start learning from it, cos I'm tired of hiring, and in the long run, its more expensive to hire. Number one is : www.aerothrustppg.org , and its the $5,999, with the wing, paramotor, helmet, suit, ect. The second one is the Parajet Volution, and its the package, but without the helmet and suit. What other combination do you guys suggest apart from that? To remind you, I'm around 80Kg, and I'm on a tight budject. Thanks for helping Rocky

Where can you get this mag from? Looked around big book shops and cannot find it.

Whats the maximum pilot weight for it? And is it suitable for a newbie? Thanks Rocky
