hi

Thanks for the Community Map. I wanted to ask, do you have a map that shows where you cannot fly or you can but need to be below certain hight?

i purchased the app called FLYSKYHY APP. But its confusing. What are red, blue green etc?

thanks

Penkridge seems promising. Farmer very approachable and let us look around his land. There’s several fields mostly used for crops but he’s willing and says we could move around. Best bet may be his motocross field as it’s grass all the time. 

We will need insurance. 

He’s checking with his insurance if it’s a problem because he knows nothing about paramotoring. 

He’ll want money which is reasonable. Not sure how much. 

Watch this space

hi, this thread is old, but just wanted to know did you still use the land in Penkridge for paramotor? still promising? how much will it be? thanks

Is it true that you cant find good place for kiting in midlands. seems so much gust, maybe too many buildings or trees. 

I think the only place for good wind and little gust is by the sea? 

From midlands, always far from the sea, so i will only go far, if i can find good weather / good 8mph with no Gust. 

Thanks for your advice

so Ideal weather is 8mph with no Gust. 

max 10mph with gust no more than +/- 5mph.

But in UK its very hard to get the ideal weather lol.  Too gusty. and if no gusty, no wind!

I was a newbie last year and im still a newbie because of a lock down 

Appreciated if anyone know a close club to join or good place to fly. Still cant a place close to my area. (Walsall)

Hi ma001, 

Didn't we meet on the field at Clives? Come have a flight with us in Tamworth.

 

Richard

Hi Richard

Yes we did meet at Clive's, really appreciated the help you provided me on the day.

Yes I would love to come have a flight with you, if you dont mind

"council would jump on us if we tried" lol

why council people so stern lol

I guess no place in Walsall then

Penkridge maybe the closest from Walsall.

Finding somewhere Walsall/Wolverhampton would be great. I’m trying to get a field near Cannock Chase but I’m in Walsall and Wolverhampton daily. 

Yea your right. Its hard to find good place in Walsall. Arboretum park is very big - and its empty. I contacted the council, about using paramotor. They never heard about paramotor lol. After explaining, they said they would get back to me. but no reply

ps- is it must to contact the people in charge for paramotoring in public park

see attached - size of the park

I think you'll find Clive is highly thought of as a trainer on this forum. The amount of days to complete course is, the amount it takes depending on your ability and weather. It won't be complete until you can show you are proficient and confident. I would happily bet money it would be more than 3 days. My advice is to speak to him and take it from there.

Really appreciated

Speak to Clive Mason at CM Paramotors, he may be able to help, if not I'm sure his advice will be of value.

Thanks for that

Did you use CM patamotor course with Clive Mason ? when completed (how many days?) were you confident at the end?

Hi

I have done my paramotor course in FlySpain and purchased my new wing and paramotor. But i was disappointed. I still dont feel confident for flying myself, but i still got certificate when finished. Only done 3 days. The rest was too windy.

Is their any private 1 to 1 training. Looking for 1 or 2 days this month - and close to west midlands area?

Thanks

I am in west midlands aswell. (Walsall) We should meet and have good flying. Whats the best place?

Thanks for the advice Rich 

I have messaged Clive, hopefully he will get back to me when he gets a chance 

Hi 

I have done flights at Ashbourne and Crewe.. I thought I might be able to find something closer to Walsall

I have done 8 flights, I'm not confident enough to go out alone yet 

I will give Clive  a call and see if he can offer some tuition, is his tuition group based or individual? 

Hi
Hope you’re well 
I’ve just come across this website and there seems to be a great network here. I’ve done some training with Paramotors, but I’m not confident to take it out on my own. I did a paramotor course in Spain and also did a paragliding course at Airways. I was wondering if there’s any groups that get together in or near Walsall that can help and support to get better and confident with practise. 
 

Hope to hear back from you
