wannabeaflyer Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi Guys would like to turn up to see guys flying at various sites this year , is there a common section/place on this website that lists events or where and when clubs or flyers intend to meet and fly , would be great to just sample the atmosphere and see pilots in action -- giving serious thoughts to investing in training and equipment but as before would like to get some feedback face to face as i have a hearing problem, but that does not stop my dream to Fly both paragliders and Paramotors Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabeaflyer Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi Guys thanks for the replies , just noticed another massive area on this Forum which answered my orignal question so sorry if it seemed silly, im based in sunny croydon but given the chance to see you guys in action have wheels will drive ( sat nav does the rest ) hiya Steve i had the pleasure of speaking you a while back at a PPG flyin you guys organised cant remember the location . but do remember the help and enthusiasm of the guys and gals i met at the meet . The weather was playing up, so many did not get a chance to fly while i was there. but to me it was worth the trip just to see the equipment up close and just chew the fat ( Bit hard on you guys cos of my hearing problem my bionic ear is not so great around 2 and four strokes LOL ) but you all made me feel welcome and thats what i took from the event ... i now know steve haze is just round the corner and will be in touch but also fancy a trip up to membury so will re-introduce myself when i see ya then ... thanks again guys , all very much appreciated.. Happy flying and heres to better weather soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabeaflyer Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 This is the year i wanna make the descision about my dreams of flight have spent the better part of £2000.00 over the last 4 years trying to get my EP certificate and been thwarted each time due to family weather work , all the usual subjects ( who woulda thought 5 days training could take that long ) i admit i needed to be a bit more determined and know loads of guys and gals have done it so i blame no one for it taking me so long ( yeah i take it back, i blame the weather) . any ways this is the year to make it happen , and here lies mine quandry , Being deaf i have a wee problem with full on communication but i manage great all things considered, so with that thought in mind and my love of flying my plan is to get airtime not neccesarly ( bet thats spelt wrong ) Cross country as it stand my aim is to learn to fly and just potter around the skys of my take off point ( air time again ) , have my most of my own kit or maybe would consider rental (due to weather again) i already have Training wings , Bought My sup air Harness from new and all the gear just need to finish my EP 1st ( 2 lots of year long lapsed 5 day sessions bummer got to day 3 both time bugger ) as thats the thing that will decide if i can hack it .. is my understanding correct in saying that i can train as a Paramotor Pilot but still need to Get My EP & CP rating to paraglide when not paramotoring ... im in london so Green Dragons is only 20Mins from me , but im guessing they dont do Paramotors ( upsets the owners) and biggin hill is just over the rise :-0 anyways .. so big question money being tight i will train abroad with a recommended and accredited School this year and hope to get all the work in but want to maximise my options before commiting to buying any more gear eg Flying Wing -- what wings are suitable for both instances ( sorry have not done all the research yet ) . just so i can make the most of my spending .. cheers guys these and other questions will be asked when i see ya'll face to face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
