alan_k Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi Jay, what weight are you? What is your budget? I have a wing with a very good factory report that has a lot of life left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Duffy Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) There seems to be two universal pieces of advice I see from long-time flyers to newbies: 1) Get good, reputable training from a non-self-aggrandizing school . 2) Do not buy equipment until complete (or very-nearly complete) with your initial training. ( The coffee mug does not count as equipment - so good news there.) Edited October 28, 2019 by Ace Duffy confusing sentence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I did half my training on school wing/motor. Then the second half on my wing and school motor. Then bought motor. This way you only buy wing when you have some idea about how you expect to fly eg low and slow, fast and high g, cross country etc. You finish training on your own wing. You maximise learning before buying machine. The only thing I would do differently would be to attend a large paramotor meet (PMC or Parafest type) to maximise knowledge before buying machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
