DarrenM488 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'm around 7 hours into flexwing microlight training, and during this time have developed a growing interest in paramotoring. Is there such a thing as a 'taster day' where I could have a go, and see if it's for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_mow Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Your best bet is to find some local pilots and go meet them. Then if your still hungary for it, ask them to recommend a school or instructor. I went solo on flex wings but ran out of money before getting to my test. Paramotors are so much more practical for me I terms of storage and running cost, and training was very cheap, wink wink, but that was my choice and NOT MY RECCOMENDATION!! ;0). Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrenM488 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Appreciate the quick response. The storage is good with a paramotor, love the idea of being able to pack it into the car. Have to admit that the 'cheap training' option does have a certain appeal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly_mow Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Few things in life are more expensive than cheap advice. That's why I stressed its not my reccomendation. But the beauty of the sport is that it is possible. More so if you have previouse flying experience an understand your airlaw and met. I didn't teach my self but was tought by experiences pilots.
