After watching that video, I did some research on the links the guy quoted! Found a manufacturer out of California called www.blackhawkparamotor.com Will definitely be giving them a call tomorrow to see what kinds of deals I can get. Thanks for the link

Thanks Mike! I have been surfing the internet and haven't found many forums or clubs based in the US, but its always good to make new friends!

Hey everyone! My name is Barrett. I'm totally new to the sport of paramotors and was interested in learning from you guys and I have tons of questions!

A little about me first:

I am a licensed commercial pilot in the USA with a couple of thousand flight hours under my belt, and I fly as First Officer on a Citation XLS. I have a fairly good understanding of aerodynamics, weather, flight planning, and everything that goes along with fixed wing flying. I am also a CFI/CFII/AGI/AGII with close to 500 hours of dual instruction given and 100% pass rate on the students I have signed off for their private/commercial pilots license.

A friend of mine made the suggestion amongst our group to all go in together to buy a paramotor that we can all use and enjoy. So basically I'm hoping you all can help me get started and point me in the right direction of where I need to go to get training (in south Louisiana) and what type paramotor I should be looking into buying (I know there is a specific canopy for training). Any help will be much appreciated!

Blue skies and tailwinds!

Barrett
