Its fake because wings dont break off clearly they rip aircraft to shreds and it stopped way to soon like an R/C aircraft a real a/c would have had a long run out. Max

You can legally start to learn at the age of 14 for a PPL so i presume this would be the same for PPG? Max

Somewhere on the internet somebody told me that there was a 14 year old french boy that flew a paramotor in the UK. Can I just ask how is airlaw enforced? Because at the end of the day if I really wanted to i could get approipriat training and equiptment I could just go to a field and fly (OF course I would never do this because If I was caught it would ruin my chances of being a RAF pilot)?? What actually is out there to stop anyone? Thanks Max

This is the problem you see, people tell me different things! If there is no law surrounding the sport apart from airlaw how can it be illigal to fly underage? It's all very confussing!!! Thanks Max

Thanks everyone for your reply's (BTW im only 13 at the moment but will be 14 in august) Would I be able to get insurance at my age? OR would they just presume that i'm not as competant as someone say 2 years older? Also what would i expect to pay for insurance? The field is about 265 m long with electricity cables overhead but there is an area if about 100m across with a low telephone wire at one end and about 10m trees at the other. Thanks Max

Thanks for your reply, just another question: Do I need insurance to fly a paramotor? The BMAA Microlight Magazine said a couple of issues back that you don't is this true?? Thanks Max

Hello everyone it's been a long while since I was last on here, so i'll start from scratch again! Im Max i'm nearly 14 years old, I am completely taken with aviation and have been for many years! Recently I have been looking through every type of flying there is to see if there is any kind of powered aviation I can take up. Paramotoring has been abit of a dodgy situation as some people have said I am too young but others say I am not. Some one once said to me: There are no police in the sky so even if you arn't aloud there is nothing any-one can do about it! I am a member of the ATC and RAF CCF, a couple of weekends ago I went up powered gliding and really enjoyed it!! I am looking at every option to try and get into the air!! I study aviation in both my cadet groups and have extensivley researched microlighting which I would like to do my license in when I am 17. I would like to ask a few questions: 1) What are your views on whether or not i would be able to fly? 2) How much would training cost?? 3) How much would I expect second hand kit to cost (Im 5,9 about 80kg) 4) Take of landing distance to clear 15m obsatcle? Thanks for any help!!! Max

I have budgeted for training outside this, i know that it isn't a-lot i wouldn't be looking at any amazing just something for nipping around the local area. Maybe in the summer up for a couple of hours a week and in the winter probably around 3 hours a month. I wouldn't be looking at this one for long just a year or two and then i would upgrade to a better one and possibly a trike. Thanks Max

Hello, I've been lurking for abit now and im looking for all the gear as cheap as poss, 90kg. I would be looking at the paramotor, wing and harness. Anything from old kit to relatively new kit so lets say £500-£1500. Thanks Max
