Selling All My Paramotor Related Gear
I am selling all of my paramotor related gear. I have been flying for four years and going to pursue other interest. I plan on being at Dave Purdins Flyin to camp with my friends and will be brining items with me to sell.

    Nice one Mark; I always felt that the Gin Falcon compares well with other wings in it's class. For sure it's a near direct replacement for the MacPara Colorado and arguably a similar wing to the Hadron 3 (although the H3 owners seem to disagree). Certainly you know that a tolerance can be built up to motion induced discomfort by repeated exposure and gradual increases in G-force and other accelerations? If you find any part of it enjoyable I encourage you to continue to explore the adjacent areas of the flight envelope.

    Nice, I'd love to try this wing. I was able to fly a Hadron 3 last weekend but the takeoff's on them can be very tricky. I blew my first try (my fault, too much brake) but nailed the second.... you have to be on your game. That Falcon looked like it launches very easy and that's what I am looking for, plus something that I can carve on.
