lee_d Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 hi all i did some paragliding training to EP level about 10 years ago so may as well say i would be starting afresh anyway living in suffolk there is a distinct lack of hills lol and the other week at work in bury st edmunds i saw a paramotor above our factory and thought that would do for me are there any instuctors near this area as the reason i dident go further in my paragliding training was the frustration of driving 3 hours so sit on a hill allday because it may have been a flyable day and 3 hours homw again so with a family now this would be out of the question also are hefty guys able to get a wing that will take a body weight of 105 Kgs plus kit regards lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psymon Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hi Lee, All i can help you with is yes hefty guys can i myself am 6'6 and a really hefty 130kgs i had a Paramania Revo 36 made to cope with my all up weight and that would prolly add upto 160kgs plus 'gulp' And i know there are other heavy guys on here that can also verify what weights they are flying with..
