I'm at the stage where i can reverse launch and keep the wing flying over head and turn and forwards running and controlling the wing. im so desperado and enthusiastic and i just need a bit of help getting up there among the birds literally i mean. Ive got all my own equipment from a ground handling wing/harness etc including my wing and para motor. So please guys and girls if you can or think of anyone that can please let me know and i would be eternally grateful.

vinnie Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hi all Can i just say a big thank you for all the support and your kind words. Today i meet up with one of your members and he has kindly offered to help out and to join there thriving little section of this club and a gentleman if ever there was one. It is these actions by people like yourselves that really do bring a ray of hope and companionship to the new and wide eyed individuals who feel overwhelmed and dear i say vulnerable individual first exposed to this great sport. As regards to the huh em flying school/individual im still going through the process of claiming some of my fees back. i would love to name and shame but to be honest im not sure of the legal situations here but I will add that im aware of quite a few of your members in the Kent area that have had similar experiences to me and know of whom i speak. There are others no doubt who would disagree with me and would recommend this man. Due to the above i don't feel at liberty to name and shame and as frustrating as it is i will have to think of a way of protecting some other poor individual that will be lured into the spiders web.

mike1714 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Vinnie, It was good to meet. Glad I can help in some way. I have to be honest, after our chat I was shocked.......to say the least!! A couple of the chaps I fly with have had similar experiences and finally changed instructors. My personal early experience I have to say was not that bad....................but at the time I grew to be wary and doubted some of my training. Since then I have pretty much been flying on my own, but it is much nicer flying in the company of others. I like to think that all 'us' pilots are ambassadors to the sport, helping newbies where we can to get them started in this great sport. I am sure others will air their feeilings on here in due course.............. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
