carlwarren Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hi and welcome. Firstly I wouldn't buy a thing until you have had dome lessons. Spend your money on a decent teacher to start with. What area are you from ? Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neders Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 For what its worth, I learnt to fly using a PAP Ros 1400 ( which I still use) and my main gripe was that the frame would flex into the prop and smash it far too easily. In my first 2 years I broke 4 props ,2 of them the cage only just contacted the ground so finally I put a 115cm prop on instead of the 125cm prop until I became confident with my take offs and landings, the extra clearance makes all the diference. Once confident put the 125 back on. As a paramotor the PAP has been trouble free for 5 -6 years, starts first or second pull even after a winter parked in a shed.
