Flypapuk

Hi Terry, flypap is just down the road in Cheshire Thanks Danny

Sorry to that news mate, I'm based in Crewe south Cheshire not far from the shropshire border Cheers Danny

Looking forward to meeting you soon Danny

I wouldn't completely remove the idea of abroad training, you can have the best of both worlds if you choose wisely, have a look at www.fly-italia.co.uk

Hi Lee, I am based in south Cheshire , BHPA full time paramotor school, www.flypap.co.uk Thanks Danny

Hmm, uk and abroad you say, I've been doing it for a while, it works really well

I run a BHPA school in Cheshire with a site also in Cumbria www.flypap.co.uk Danny

Have a look at fly Italia www.fly-italia.co.uk

Or just get a pap tinox, lighter than the Maverick and quicker to assemble than the V3

Hmm, interesting read, but it appears it's not only the overseas instructors are lacking a bit, I've just had a guy book on an Italy trip who has spent well over 12 months at a non BHPA school in the UK, in this time he has managed to accumulate 2 flights, long story short he kept going to the school only to be left to his own devices, the last straw was when he was helping someone ground handle and he asked where he was up to, 5 flights the guy said, needless to say that was the last day he spent at the field, I just hope he's been taught the right way

I've had a few enquires from pilot's that have just left a school and think they need coaching, this may well turn in to a conversion course where low airtime pilot's can get the coaching they need and also receive the BHPA CP rating whilst on the Holiday

With the restrictions now removed I am pleased to announce that fly Italia is now open, There is a holiday starting on the 20th October for 1 week The price includes accommodation in the 4* Elia hotel which is 100m from the airfield It also includes the hire of my paramotors 3 brand new PAP tinox Moster+ and 2 PAP Tinox Atom 80 All you need is a cheap flight out to Naples Italy, food and drink money and of course fuel money, this is a great trip for those that would like extra coaching or experienced pilot's alike, if anyone saw Tony's review in this months skywings you will know there are some spectacular areas to fly including 2000yr old Greek temples Details can be found here http://www.fly-italia.co.uk/holidays

I'm just up the M6 In south Cheshire, give me a call if you want to chat 07811345567 Danny

Hi duffman Where are you located Danny

Hi Kona, yes I'm up and running again, I'm currently full but should have space towards the end of June, feel free to call me Thanks Danny

I'm glad your enjoying it, excellent choice

If they are training day 1 pilot's they certainly shouldn't be yet, fingers crossed for the middle of June tho

Check out the Pap supair harness

I know what you mean, when you pull the wing up you want to hold the A's in one hand and and the D's /brakes in the other, pull the wing up with the A's gently, if it start to go to the left move your A hand to the right and the brake hand to the left, basically your trying to pull the front away from the turn and brake the high side, be gentle with no big movements and you'll soon stop it flipping, make sure your trims are equal Good luck

She was, did you get the same box

I've just found my astronaut license in my cornflakes box

Pmsl laughing, you sound like Ronnie Pickering Well why don't you enlighten us all and say who these so called schools are then we can all avoid them, Just don't tarnish every BHPA school with the same brush, Ratings are a way of progressing in the sport at the pilot's rate, hmm just like Ppl,nppl CPL, atpl that all just sounds like a way to make money to me With an attitude like yours I'm surprised you got your license, not very professional ! Thanks Danny

I think you are referring to the schools that are mainly PG based with a power environment add-on, however there are many of Power only schools with no association with paragliding, as for ratings, ie club pilot I don't understand your load of crap comment, it is a way of knowing where the pilot is in their ability, it is a BHPA rating not a licence, yes they can fly but would Benefit from coaching in a club environment, a bit like learning to fly a 747 when you get your license yes you can fly the thing but does that mean you can fly 500 passengers to Abu Dhabi on your first flight, I doubt it, maybe you should research things before giving bad advise

Just curious to why you think BHPA schools teach paragliding first ?

Hi Kona I run a BHPA school in Kirkby in Furness and Cheshire, your welcome give me a call for a chat Thanks Danny 07811345567
