Sunbeam Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hi folks. Been skulking around this site on and off for a few years now, it’s good to see its fairly active and hasn’t decamped to that facebooky thing. So, here’s where I’m at. I recently received a little financial windfall and after longing to get back in the air since my hang gliding days (some 15 years ago) I decided to use this money to fix the urge. To some, I have gone about things entirely wrong in that I have purchased a paramotor before training! I know for sure that any expendable income would have dwindled away during a training period on other less interesting things leaving me grounded, and so making the whole idea redundant. In a good way I am now “locked in” and can afford training from my normal income, and 15 years of research and picking peoples brains should ensure I’ve got a flyable, if slightly dated setup (worst case scenario is I sell and replace if not so). Now I am not kidding myself that I can sidestep training which will be forthcoming, I remember doing my hang gliding in the Autumn which I quite liked and am located near Doncaster and I am aware of nearby training schools. So hopefully I should be trained and away in the next few months. Thanks to all on this forum for the previous information I’ve gleaned and for future advice I might request. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 All seems intelligently thought out - good luck with your training and maybe see you at the fly-in in a few weeks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
