No it isn't.

I have 2 amazing trikes, each with grass and sand wheels. Also a PM-100 headset and helmet. All on Ebay at the moment. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276369935672?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=md-OxOuZSK-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=md-OxOuZSK-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276369813608?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=md-OxOuZSK-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=md-OxOuZSK-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276369824316?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=md-OxOuZSK-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=md-OxOuZSK-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276369943206?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=md-OxOuZSK-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=md-OxOuZSK-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

The main shaft splits for transporting and the goes in the car. Front Castor gives self steering as the wheel contact point is then behind the steering pivot line.

I fly mostly in Teesside and southern Spain. There is hardly anywhere suitable for a trike, I've tried. I made a trike for my machine with interchangeable beach wheels and grass wheels (trike for sale soon!). The one place I can find in Teesside, the field is too rough and I got thrown by a bump. In Spain, too many people on the beach (can avoid them if running!) and the only "field" is way too rough.

Yes, I sold my kit, when there was no hope. Then I ignored the doctors and I bought some more.

18 months ago I had spinal surgery, two lots of 12 hours. Cut 3 wedges out of different vertebrae and bent me back upright by 40 degrees. Back surgery great but they paralysed my legs by accident. I have been told by every doc that I will never walk again. Rubbish, I could fly, walking's easy! I stopped using my wheelchair 6 months ago. I've fallen (proper on my face falls) 94 times now. My quad muscles are now about 30%. I've been out ground handling and all is good. I've walked around with my machine on and all is good. However, with the machine on my back I then cannot pull the wing up, it's just too much for my quads and I collapse forward immediately. If there is over 6mph wind I can hold my ground and get the wing up (by not bending my legs much), but I know that if I try to run, splat! So now I have put next year's PMC summer fly in in my calendar. A year to get strong enough.

There are 4 of us near Middlesbrough in the North East, but don't often fly together.

My Nitro has done 80 hours and not a hicup. The only "failure" was when my flight suit managed to touch the off switch and turn the engine off! I relocated the switch. My Tornado has done 35 hours and not a hicup either.

I am 192 cm and 95 kg and machine fits me really well. £3500 or Euro 4080 Machine has recently had: - new prop - full carb overhaul - new machined swing arms - new carabiners - new improved low vibration red engine mounts with safety straps - complete new net and tension string Price includes: - side mounted reserve - cylinder head temp gauge - rpm and hours meter - 2 new batteries - AC cage bag and prop covers I am selling this because I was damaged during surgery earlier this year and now my legs don't work. The machine has always been well looked after by me and fully checked after every flight. The cage has been bent a little to one side, but not enough to worry about. The harness is size large and the seat has scrapes on the under side and one of the lower straps has been repaired (landing on bum pulls this strap!). I live in UK TS15 9EU. I regularly travel to London so could arrange to meet somewhere. Andy +44 7740 030551 Advertiser AndyB Date 03/09/21 Price £3,500.00 Category Paramotors

I think training in UK or abroad depends to a large extent on the confidence of the trainee. I found my 10 days training in Spain was sufficient to have me flying on my own.....in fact I flew in Perpingan (France) on my my way home when my car broke down! and I was stuck for another week! I also had done considerable reading and research before going for training.

Places are rarely shared because they are so hard to come by and can take weekends of knocking on farmers doors to ask! You usually need to look for flying friends near you and get to know them.

Yes 100% ok. That school is run by Simon, who set up this forum.
