Hey folks, how we all doing? I moved to Reading nearly 5 months ago. I have pondered over the idea of getting my microlight licence. However, due to costs involved i have persuaded myself to investigate the possibilities of learning to paramotor. I'm pretty keen on flying. I graduated from University with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering and have flown solo in Gliders. So the idea of flying has been with me for a while now So, with my new ambition to learn how to paramotor, and being Based in Reading, I would like to ask you guys where and how is the best place to get started? Is there a specified licence one must gain before going solo? (Obviously I want and need lessons). But do you need a licence to fly paramotors? Also, what's the best way to get kit? any recommended websites/ shops out there? I would be very grateful if anybody could point me in the right direction, with regards to instructors, clubs, equipment in and around the Reading area. Cheers in advance B
