ah, so basically as long as I never try anything to flashy or avoid bad weather conditions it is likely to never happen?
-
I think it would be fun to fly really high then cut of the motor and glide down to landing. How fast does a paraglider tend to descend with out much manipulation of the wing? Say if you were to do it at 5,000 feet. About how long would the ride be down.
-
Ive come to understand that a collapse is probably the worst situation you can get in while flying and I am wondering how it happens and how to prevent it.
-
I hear about them a lot. What is it?
-
I did say it was irrational lol
-
I was more speaking of if some one had a seizure or some sort of black out at reasonable high altitude like 1000 feet. Would the paraglider just keep going straight or does it need constant control to stay stable? A little irrelevant but I have an irrational fear of something like this happening to an airplane pilot and then they crash into my house

I was looking at how long wings last and what I was getting is 300-500 hours or 4 years with regular usage. I find that very upsetting considering how hard money comes by for me. Is there any kind of uv resistant spray that could be used to extend the life span?

I found out about these yesterday. I am going to try and get some training and build my self a home and for others. calearth.org can download a ebook on this subject manner here http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/6950403

What would you think would be the likely out come if somebody for what ever reason went unconscious at an high altitude?

powered paragliding vs. powered hang gliding

hmm I think a hang glider looks more fun to fly but for convenience a paraglider wins for me. -
powered paragliding vs. powered hang gliding
finding0 posted a topic in General paramotor discussion
In this thread id like for people to compare and contrast the two. Such as which is easier, which is safer and so forth -
I live 20 miles north of Philadelphia. And yes, all my final decisions will be heavily influenced by an instructor. But I like to gain a collective knowledge by reading and asking a lot of questions for comparison and contrast first. I like to make sure with things that could be life threatening.

thank you

So me being 145lbs id get a medium sized wing? Im not looking for thrill riding but just cruising. no tricks, no speedy stuff. just simple
-
Is it a good idea or no. I am very set on getting one but with my current job I only pull in about $150.00 a week so it will be a while before I can actually get one. I am not really concerned about cosmetics but just functionality. What kind of things should I look out for? And about how much can I get a used paramotor and wing together for?
-
I do not mean thew emotional aspect but quite literally. Is is shaky or vibrate strongly? Is it very loud? Is it windy? Stuff like that.
-
I noticed that wings vary in size and I am wondering why. What would a larger wing be suitable for vs. a smaller wing? Weather conditions, weight, speed, maneuverability?
-
Thank you everyone. When I read the regulations on flying these things, I got a huge smile on my face because I realized how free this sport is. Can some one point me to some good videos? I downloaded a whole bunch of videos but they turned out to all be unpowered paragliding videos, which looks fun too but not as fun,

I just found out about paramotoring and it has become my priority. It will take some money saving but I feel it will be worth it. But I do not know anything that I need to know about purchasing a wing and motor. Could some one help me out.
