aliengravy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi guys, I have been lurking here for around 5-6 months now, reading of your adventures as an unregistered user. I planned to make it a new years resolution this year to learn to para motor! I am really eager to learn. Having just graduated university I have some spare time on my hands, and I'm wondering if it is something I should be learning before I start work! At the moment I can get out any day the weather would let me! I'm a fairly fast learner, although the only thing I have done similar to para motoring is a bit of power kite flying. I was wondering where the best place to learn near Suffolk would be? Are there any instructors on here in Suffolk or Norfolk? Is it best to go for a x number of days course, and have done with it? Or is it better to learn with local people? I know SimonW is highly rated on this board, and I have considered travelling to have instruction from him, but it is a long journey for me. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptwizz Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Deffo take advantage of your free time. I started in January and made rapid progress until April, when the weather lost the plot. I haven't flown in over 2 months, due to work, weather and other commitments and I'm really itching to get in the air again before I forget everything. Keep us informed of your progress. When I finally qualify, I'll be looking for some local-ish flying buddies. Pete Bailey 175 Ozone Indy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinpa Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hi, I trained with Mike & Alex at SaberAce and they were good, I'm now flying on my own, but still learning all the time. I live in Kesgrave (Ipswich). So if you want to meet up drop me a mail. I'd recommend Mike & Alex. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingreed Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Slight bump... For what it's worth I definitely recommend Alex & Mike at SaberAce too. I live in mid-Suffolk and have been training with them this year. Right now I feel I'm making sound progress under clear, concise instruction. See "Bob Bites the Bullet" in the Training Blogs section: http://www.paramotorclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7596 Hopefully it will help to inspire you to go for it as soon as possible; I guarantee you won't regret it! Gizza shout if you want to chat about it or meet up. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
