Gasmanrus Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Hi! For over a year I’ve had the urge to get in the sky. Lately it’s all I am thinking about! I’m in Essex but don’t mind traveling to get good training, any recommendations? Also, I was considering getting a harness & a cheap wing to practice ground handling (in very low winds) before training, would you think this is a good or bad idea? any input much appreciated! thanks, Rus Edited June 14, 2020 by Gasmanrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew William Portsmouth Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Hi Rus, can’t help you with the training but getting a harness and old wing is not a bad idea but I would wait until you sort out and start your training and when you’ve learned the basics No problem. I done the exact same thing but to be honest I didn’t use it very much. Kitting a old wing and a newish wing is totally different, but if you can kite a old one a new one will be a doddle. If you’ve got a budget don’t forget what you spend on on the old one could be a good deposit towards your new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryb Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi Rus, There is a local club based in Essex called Foot Flight Paramotors (http://www.footflight-paramotors.com/ who offer training. I can't personally recommend them as I did my training elsewhere, but I am hoping to join the club shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
