This has to be the dullest section of any forum, so thank in advance for even clicking on this post... I thought I was going to have to resort to the title 'naked models paramotor overhead'.
enough babble... I'm 28 and a big fan of all things 'motor', especially if it has four wheels. I have access to some fields near Reigate (and a barn), I'd love to get into this sport. my only flying knowlage comes from tv, video games and many hours of playing with RC kit when I was younger... I even had an RC motorised paraglider
I've done a sky dive and flyby wire in NZ... which I know are basically irrelevant, but its the closest thing I can relate to a paramotor (that I've done), well I guess and my power kiteing, but that just drags me around through the mud.
My main question is, what are my options being over 6ft 4 and over 16st?
I live relatively close to both gatwick and also redhill aerodrome, what are the implications of this?
I'd like the prospect of going from a to b too... I know this isnt very practical, but even if 'b' was a pretty place, like a pub on the south downs... or a friends house near a field? is this possible?
Does anyone rent kit like this out too... or is anyone flying around my area?
Does my bum look big in this? I'm over 16st, lead balloon?
in Newbies ( want to fly a paramotor? )
