Actually it is not as bad as it looks. I was flying a couple of weeks ago just as the sun was setting and the views were absolutely spectacular. We chose the area in the photograph because it was so desolate and ideal for training and first flights as there is nothing to fly into (other than the ground). When I get back to Saudi I'll post some more photgraphs. Alan

I've put some pics in the album. Unfortunately I don't have any of me! I'll have to remedy that next time we are out.

Welcome to the Saudi Paramotor club. We are a fledgling group of pilots, both British and Saudi, struggling to overcome the ingrained fear of private aviation within Saudi Society and trying not to get shot at in the process! Don't believe everything you hear about Saudi on the news. It is a beautiful country with, in the main, very friendly people and it is a joy to fly here. I'll post some pictures as soon as I can work out how to! Alan Hunter Mobile: 00966503162864 Email1: alan_hunter1664@yahoo.co.uk Email2: alan.hunter@baesystems.com

Which Dudek Synthesis wing would you recommed a 31 or 34? The 31 is up to 135Kg and the 34 160kg. As I weigh 105Kg add an engine and a couple of extra kg for good measure I'll be a tad over 135kg but on the lower limit of the 34! what do you suggest? Alan

Thanks for the advice, I'll look at the Dudek Synthesis wing. The flying scene in Saudi is fledgling, I've lived here for about 18years and just found out about the sport last year and luckily got to know one of the Pilots through work. He is a Saudi and is a BMAA Paramotor instructor. He has trained me and I've since helped him organise a course for some of my work Colleagues. We are hoping to form a club. As far as legality goes, there is a civil aviation club where we can fly legally but outside of there, like most things in Saudi, it is hit & miss. We do use radios and normally use VHF 140-170Mhz.

Hi, I've had my first flight in Saudi and now I'm looking to buy kit. Having looked around the Web my choices so far have narrowed to a Paramania Revolution or Windtech Evo wing with a PAP 1400R4L with Ros 125cc engine or a Parajet Volution Titanium. I am 172cm and weigh 105Kg, what combination of equipment would you recommend for me?
