Winging_it Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hi guys I'm justbstartimg to learn to fly a paramotor and will be buying a wing and motor in the best couple of weeks... I live close to raf brize Norton, are you allowed to fly near there or is there a radius your not allowed to fly? Or maybe a height restriction??

AndyB Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hi, go to the Members tab and zoom in on the map. All the UK air space restrictions are shown. You have controlled airspace from surface to 3500 feet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Standard advice is don't buy your wing and motor until you're well into or have completed training. It's sound advice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi k Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Dan i'm also a newbie and part way thru my training, but like advised above no need to buy equipment especially if your going with Si + Little Col, i know i have but would agree i was to keen also . Must admit paid sod all for a ground handling wing and now looking at newer reflex wings, and my Paramotor although older model was low hours and not a budget breaker,but many before me have learnt on exact same model, and thought for my 1st few flights i'd rather bash this than a more expensive newer one, but hindsight is a marvelous thing and now having talked to trainer and fellow pilots, i wish i'd gone for something like a Bulldog or Parajet as probably sturdier and parts possibly more readily available.(Other Makes Available). But having said that i was a welder fabricator so cage repairs or new stronger cage at a later time is no big problem. So be patient as there's plenty of equipment about new and used and listen to the wiser & experienced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
