Thanks!

If I find something I'll post it here in case it benefits someone else.

Talk to Alex at Skyschool he will know.

I did! It was Alex who suggested I contact AXA. I'll ask him again. He might know something else!

You mean travel insurance with paramotoring cover?

Holidaysafe were cheap and pretty good to deal with and could add on paramotor pretty cheaply. Never had cause to claim though. 

All the public liability insurance would be with skyschool rather than yourself. You just need to know if you end up in hospital it is covered.

I mean 3rd party liability as well as accident insurance. I just checked with Holidaysafe and they also only insure UK-residents.

Does anyone know where I can get insurance for a 2-week PPG course in Portugal with Skyschool? I'm an EU resident. I contacted AXA but they only do yearly policies, while Dogtag only insures UK residents.

Just a quick update. I have have finally flown my Roadster 3 and absolutely love it!! Super stable and nicely responsive!

I'm 120kg on a 120kg en-b equivalent wing. I don't feel too heavy. It just feels good so you should be right

Thanks for the feedback!

I'd say it's about right, I currently fly a spyder. My all up is around 140kg with max of 160 on the glider. I don't feel very heavy on the wing at all - it's a bit slow if anything. I've ordered a speedster 3 26m which will put me at the top end of the weight on that.

That feels reassuring! Your wing is more heavily loaded at 5kg/m2 compared to mine at 4.4kg/m2. So that makes me feel better!

When you say that it's a bit slow, do you mean in terms of speed or responsiveness?

Hello!
I have purchased a Roadster 3 (24m) but now, looking at the PPG weight range, I'm wondering whether I should have purchased the 26m wing instead as I am afraid that the 24m wing might be too dynamic for me. My PPG all-up weight is 106kg. I have 40 flights paragliding experience but my last flight was 3 years ago. I currently have 7 PPG flights with my paragliding wing (Advance Alpha 5, 26m). With the 24m Roadster 3, my all-up weight falls in the upper part of the weight range (which is 65-120kg, the middle being 92.5kg), and just below the middle of the weight range for the 26m wing (80-140kg, with the middle at 110kg). The reason I purchased the 24m wing is because I initially thought about using the Roadster for both PPG and PG (with the 24m wing my PG weight is good). However, I have reconsidered and have decided that if I continue to paraglide, I'll use my Advance wing.

My flying interests are mostly leisurely and eventually XC. I fly mostly at sea level (in Greece) and would eventually like to fly higher up in the mountains.

Any advice?

thanks
