Guest Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi Dion, Welcome to the Paramotor Club Assuming that your instructor will be taking you to a paramotor level of flying, he / she ( to be politically correct ) will advise you on this. It is very hard for someone who has not seen you learning to help with this. It also depends on what sort of flying you want to do. With regards to the wing... I would recommend a paramotor specific wing for Paramotoring. It brings out the best Most of all, enjoy SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
