For what it's worth i think that it's better to speak to people who have been trained or going through training for advice on training. Makes sense i think. When i first thought about getting into paramotors, which was about a month ago, i looked through websites and joined this club to speak to people like you lot for advice and not phone up local fly schools. My feeling is they would just sell me the company line to get business, and why not it's their bread and butter. The people on this forum i feel are honest and seem to look out for each other in giving advice, information etc... Shared interests, hopes and dreams goes a long way in my eyes and i will keep coming back here for help.

Looks like i've got a few books to consider, still not sure which one to get......... think i just better get them all. lol Better go and see her indoors, cap in hand, to get some pennies or i could hint a lot and see what santa brings.

Hi Gang it's me again with yet another question(well you were so good with the last answers i had to ask another)lol Can anyone point me in the right direction of a really good book or books that would help me in my quest to paramotor. I've read somewhere that the PPG Bible is good. What are your thoughts? I believe that it's best to get the thoughts of people that use the books and not of someone trying to sell me one.

Thanks folks i need all the information and help i can get. Think i'll need to get some books ordered up and start reading.

Forgive me but i am new to this stuff. I don't want to sound stoopid but do you need a licence to fly a paramotor? I've seen different websites that suggest this training and that training and even one that said it's ok to train yourself(scarey) but nothing about a licence.

Hi folks Just thought i'd introduce myself. Name is Mac, live up near Lanark in Scotland. Thinking of taking up this superb looking pastime. Really on a fact finding mission at the moment getting as much info as poss with the hope of getting things started in the summer. Any help or advice would be really appreciated and if you don't mind i'll pick your brains from time to time.
