racundra Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi there I tried posting something similar earlier today, but it vanished.... It's my first attempt at posting, so maybe I'm being stupid... Has anyone any experience of http://www.%20paramotor-store.%20com? I was thinking of buying a helmet/headset/radio combo from them, and was hoping for some advice. Cheers Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi Noel, The resaon your post bounced back off is because you posted a link in it (and the subject line). We have set the forum to disallow this for new users who have posted less than 5 times as to eliminate spammers.

racundra Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi Simon I'm not a spammer! Just someone who didn't know the rules! I've just been starting to get my head around what I need to paramotor. I trained recently (and am still training!) with Paul Haxby. I'd seen a few recommendations on here, and he was brilliant. I need some stuff, and can't wait to get going properly. I was thinking of going to the UKPPG Fly-in at the weekend to see what useful ideas I could pick up there. I'm mildly apprehensive of going down the 2nd hand route, but can't afford to break the bank either! My current thinking is a new Apco Thrust (I learned on the 2007 model with Paul) and maybe a second hand paramotor (although Paul's own design of paramotor was pretty substantial, which could be a good thing for a rookie!). Cheers for explaining about the link-in-the-subject thing! Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_P Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Do not touch Paramotor Store with a barge pole. They are a complete bunch of thieving ba**ards, who once they have your money, you can forget about ever hearing from them again. If that means they haven't posted out your item, then that'll be your tough luck. One or two have had successful dealings, but far more have not a good word to say between them. Ask on just about any of the other PPG/PG/PPC/UL forums and you will get a similar response from people world wide. I think even 'Click & Buy', a reasonably reputable online payment system, have dropped them after the number of demands for refunds.

racundra Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Cheers for that Phil! I knew I'd heard something somewhere about them that wasn't too good! Any good places to look for stuff like helmets etc? Thanks again! Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
