iceberg Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hello everyone. I have been flying microlights for a while and wish to take up paramotoring due to the flexibility of putting it in the car and also due to the lack of medical as I do have a condition that could in future be troublesome on the medical. I plan to learn with sky school, would you guys recommend this training provider? With regard to equipment what is a rough start up price range for all the equipment I would need, Id prefer new or nearly new kit. Also, as paramotors don't have a G reg, is it possible to have radio coms with atc e.g. LARS or to contact an airfield as I do have the appropriate license. Thank you all and have a good new year. Is anyone else around East Anglia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 As far as the radio goes yes. Make up a callsign and precede it with 'Paramotor' then wait for the pause as that is digested, I have a French registration so always use that. You will need to reduce revs to give intelligible transmision so you have to account for height loss when transmitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I went with Skyschool. Training was superb and covered a detailed syllabus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Thank you all for the replies guys. Do you know roughly how much kit will cost? I've heard around 10k? do you know of any finance available or do bank loans work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
