morning Simon

what do you think of the wing Universal 31 or 34 to 170kg all weight me 120kg+50kg wing/motor/fuel/kit I guess I am looking for the wing that does it all !!!

lift a heavy pilot, be stable in the air, usable for both paramotoring and glidering with a tow launch as I will most likely have some time between my wing purchases and training then the motor

I will be off to see Mike Chilvers as soon I move house trying to finance both at the same time..

cheers for the help

best regards

Hi gents

I am trying to put the finance together for a starter set up but in terms of the wing does it need to be as follows

my weight 120 kg

motor 30kg

bits and bobs 10kg

total 160kg so the wing would need to be say a Universal 34 - (135-170kg) EN-B (135-215KG) DGAC ? or would a 31 Universal 31 (110-140kg) EN-B (110-170KG) DGAC be a better fit?

as for the motor (most likely a bulldog monster) they all seam to be around the same weight so am I right in thinking that the bigger the thrust the less running for launch but slower in flight because of the weight?

the wing would be my first buy so could I combine the duty's of the wing to a bit of paragliding tow launch just to get some air time?

best regards all

Steve.

Thanks guys

I am booking in with Alex at footflight for a taster day at then end of July and hope to flying by the end of the year!!! her in doors and cost willing

regards

Thanks guys no I am 120kg the + 40kg for kit and other bits and bobs

trying to do as much research as pos as I don't want to start a hobby (some might say way of like SW) and be out priced before I start.

regards

Hi guys

can you paraglide on a paramotor wing prob the Dudek synth 32? with a tow lift and safe flight glide down? while saving up for the motor.

cheers all

steve..

hi gents first set up I am hoping to put together as long as her in doors gives me the go no go !!

me- 120kg

kit - 30kg

bits and bobs 5kg

so here's what I have been looking at..

Dudek synth 32

Moster Silent 185

what do you guy think for a newbie set up

I'm a wee bit lighter but not by much. If I was buying again I'd be looking at the bulldog moster+

Great machine.

yeah did spot that one what wing are you using with that I was looking ozone but they don't seam to go up to my weight range 10 kg short!

regards

hi gents

anyone recommend a good paramotors manufacturer to push an all up weight of around 165kg on budget

Bailey seam to the high end from what I can tell (forgive me if I am wrong) but I have just come across Air conception ? not sure where these would fit in to the scale

hope to start a training session with Footflight in the next few weeks and I am trying to get an idea of all in cost ?

kindest regards

Steve (the newbie)

Hi Guys so the paramotor itch has finally got me after many years or YouTube clips think I must have seen every one some funny some not so!!

As far as I can make out the 2 nearest clubs to me are Footflight paramotor (Colchester way) and ufly4fun paramotor club (Norfolk-ish) does any one have any first hand experience with guys.

I am the newest of newbies with no experience paramotoring however I do own and fly a power kite every now and again, and have reached the dizzy heights of around 4-5 feet not completely with control I might add

I am around 18st and pretty fit so running with weight would be no problem, I would not be looking fast flights with hi speed turns just nice and gentle lift and flight with a nice and stable wing and information would be gratefully received

regards Steve.

(Just look up!)
