    The most important part of training besides learning how to actually flying, are understanding basic airspace laws/ FAR 103, and truly understanding basic weather science so you don’t find yourself in a bad situation. 😉🤙

      @@ChuckyWright I agree. You've got what I think you'd get from a basic training course minus the aeronautical stuff... I'd go for an SIV course now and get some emergency situational awareness so you don't freak out while in a twist or something like that. You may not think you would but some people go into a shock state in an emergency and its just good practice for unusual situations. Nice flying BTW.

    I gave a thumbs up because... 1. I am not a hater, and 2. I enjoyed the video. now having said that, I have a true passion to do exactly what you are doing. Flying a para motor for me is much more than an interest. it is a celebration of life and living my dream after beating cancer.there are no words to express my passion and devotion to achieve this goal. My passion and dream, led me to find any way to do this with gear I could afford (with a lifetime payment plan for medical bills). I Thank god daily for his blessings, and my recovery. I also thank god, l have done research and though a tough pill to swallow realize if I can not afford proper training and gear, then that celebration, and passion could be short lived. Please sir tread lightly in persuading others like myself to follow their passion blindly. If I saw this video a couple of years ago, either I would be making my videos of self taught, or I would have become a statistic. Though I want to live, passing doing something you love is acceptable with me. Just sharing so you understand the impact you may have. I pray you continue to stay safe and enjoy sir.

      @@ChuckyWright you can, yes. Should you? Not unless you have 3 things: 1) a clutched motor 2) a prop strap and 3) a safe start system. If your gear doesn't have these, then ground starting is just asking for trouble. Ask anyone who said, "Sure, you can ground start if you know what yer doing!" and then they end up chopping themselves up because maybe they overprimed a bit and the engine revs up and turns the motor into a blender. They'll tell you it was the dumbest mistake they've ever made. FB forums are FULL of people that think ground starting is OK - only to learn the hard way. It's just a really, really bad idea.

      I’m fine thanks. No, I don’t think I’d have the guts to do it, plus my wife wouldn’t let me do it anyway. 😀. It’s interesting to watch though. What kind of heights do you get to? Is there never a chance of the sail collapsing in on itself? Do you ever have a hard landing? So many questions. Anyway, stay safe and good flying !

    Just curious, but where did you buy your equipment? I know it's perfectly legal to fly without certification, but everywhere I look, everyone selling wants to see it before they'll sell to you (even eBay!). My plan is to buy a training wing (certification not required for that at least) and just go at it for several months while waiting for an opening in training. However, if there's no availability in my area for years, it would be nice to know I have an option B.

      No one wants the liability. When I did my training the stuff I signed was all about absolving liability. I wish you luck but ground handling is the biggest part. Practice that at the beach or somewhere with consistent wind and the rest is fairly easy after that. Learn the FAA rules and become a weatherman and you're there.

      @@paulb7334 yeah 2 grand n up for training is just ludicrous price gouging! After all you have to learn ground handling even after they "teach you"! And lets be real when you take off you better have confidence you know what your doing training or not because their lil radio isn't gonna save you! With that said if you make sure your proficient before leaving the ground your all good or as good as you can be before getting more experience. I wish someone would do some kind of non profit type business to help drive these training prices down, it would really grow the sport tremendously and people could make cash off of actual tangible product sales rather than I will tell you my secrets for 3 grand. What a sham!!!
