Hello all,
I've been thinking about paramotoring for a while, but I need some advice.
I'm a big lad, currently tipping the scales at some 22 stone .... not exactly light as a feather I know, but bear with me.
Presumably the existence of wings to carry two persons mean that there should be one somewhere that could cope with my weight, but what do I do about training?
Going up in the air without training strikes me as a particularly daft thing to do, but every club I've investigated has weight restrictions that I cannot realistically reach.
I'm certain sure that once I get started it's a past-time that I'll keep up, so if I have to shell out for kit first that's a possibility. If that's the case, where would I be best looking to get a wing and motor and how much am I looking at investing?
Currently I'm living in Wallasey in Cheshire, but I can travel if it's going to help me get airborne.
Any help and advice (other than the obvious "go on a diet fatty" ) would be greatly appreciated... I can't be the first supersize paramotor pilot out there surely?
