kevtin101 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi All, i joined the forum a few days ago and have been visiting most days. I have found the site very informative and interesting. It has been an interest of mine for some time, the whole flying thing, and have decided to take the plunge as it were to have a go at paramotoring. Any advice or info on what, where, how and with who you can offer would be much appreciated Thanks Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptwizz Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi Kevin and welcome to the group. I am also just starting out. I've had 2 days training so far - see 'Pete's Progess' in training blogs. I'm travelling some way to train at a school which was personally recommended by my brother. In the absence of a compelling reason to pick a distant school, use one within easy range. If you can be available at short notice, you can take advantage of suitable weather and avoid long gaps in your training. Happy flying, Pete.

Guest Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi Kevin, Where abouts do you live? I am sure there will be a school near to you. Welcome to the Paramotor Club SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevtin101 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks for the welcome, i am based in Bourne Lincs. I have found on the Net a trianing site at alcolnbury cambs and 1 out nottingham way,flying fish i think it was. Both a fair drive so will be looking closer. A question, i have a small holding with an unused field running along side a woods, field is 100m by 60m approx with the woods running down the 100m side. Would that be suitable for takeoff and landings? I read about turbulance from obstacles like trees and was wondering if this would be ok. Be nice to walk out my back door and go for a fly...... Thanks Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Be good with the wind blowing parallel to the line of trees or towards the trees (providing you have clear area after the 60m width for any incidents during take off phase). Definitely no good if the wind is coming over the trees. Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
