Thanks Arcus for the feedback. From reading this forum am I right in thinking you have flown from the Winsford site with Meds? If so do you know when you next might be going. I could pop along for a chat and compare thoughts on balsa wood frames..... Thanks Snowman

Thanks Norman for that excellent work. I have set it up now and it looks great. I am looking at a 26 Paramania Revolution with a Bailey four stroke motor. But naturally I am going to get some training first and take advice from them. Anyone any experience of flyschool.co.uk? They seem to be the nearest one to me and the guy was very helpful over the phone. Thanks again Snowman

Hi All, I have managed to shrink it in photoshop elements but now I can't get it back on the profile. What am I doing wrong? Sorry. Snowman

Hi Dan, I stole the avatar of Norman so I am not even sure where it is to try to shrink it. Anyone else tech friendly can help please??? Snowman

Dear Norman, Thanks for the prompt reply I have nicked the image for my avatar. Hope you don't mind. I understand your comments about the recession. I have tried all sorts of different ways to get in the air, Some more fun than others. Some more expensive than others. Still just getting up there feels so good. I appreciate you are in somerset but do you have any general beginners advice re wings and tuition and motors etc? thanx Snowman

Hi All, been scouring the internet for info on paramotoring and wound up here. Been fascinated with flight 'forever'. Made Airfix spitfires as a kid and then some flying model airplanes. Got my full PPL in 1979 and flew 60+ hours in cessnas, tiger moths, pitts specials and many others. Technicality in 1984 made my license lapse though I have one of the forever ones so only need a little work to get back to full ppl. Family intervened till 1989 then did some paragliding in Rushups Edge and Edale. Fantastic fun top landings and 360s, real flying no engines and very rough old paragliders with crap glide angles. Still great fun. Family intervened again. 2003 tried Microlighting in a Quantum but starting to get old and way to cold. Also couldn't get the hang of pushing the bar forward felt all wrong. 2007 pack to ppl putting in a few hours before trying for the GFT. Piper tomahawk, good fun very basic but good to be back in the air. However short on funds and time. Back to dreaming. 2009 watching some you tube vids of gyrocopters and paramotors just lit me up again. Can't yet affford a gyro but probably could squeeze enough for a paramotor. Seems ideal the basic fun of PG without the need to find a windy hill. Ace. So lost of advice needed. Who/where to train with? Kit to buy? Where to fly? Then I discovered this forum and leapt for joy. I live in whitegate. less than a mile from the police HQ described above by meds. When are you next flying? Can I come for a nosey and a chat? All advice gratefully received. Desperate to get back into the air......... Snowman cue Aled Jones etc " i'm walking in the air............"
