Gregg Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I'm a corporate pilot and flight instructor for general aviation aircraft. I've been researching paramotoring for a couple of weeks with the goal of learning to paramotor and have fun flying again. During my research I've been amazed and dismayed at the amount of negativity and vitriol that major players in paramotoring display towards each other. I've been told that if you don't train with me and fly my equipment you'll most likely die, nobody else knows anything and my way is the only way, so and so is only in it to monetize his website. Frankly, I'm used to a more helpful aviation community and don't understand the mindset of the paramotor world. Seems kinda tribal to me.

alan_k Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Unfortunately a couple of the biggest dickheads on the paramotor scene also have rather large exposure on YouTube. Most PPG pilots will quietly get on with helping others with the same passion for PPG flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
