Hi there,
I've been saving a while to purchase a paramotor, I was wondering a couple things before i purchase anything to see if i can save myself some money. I have been very keen to get into the sport, and have done extensive research into flying it, do you think that training is a requirement before going? I have paraglided before but not with a motor, in your opinions can I self teach?
I have been looking at getting a 125 nova fly as my first motor, used, would this been a good engine for beginners? i live in a relatively hilly area and was wondering if this motor would have sufficient climbing capabilities. I was also looking at getting a wing separately, i have been looking at both specific paramotor wings however they seem to be over double the price of normal paragliding wings, would a normal paragliding wing suffice? Or is the premium necessary?
Thanks for any advice, Tom
