The long awaited Paramotor flight :)

Posted on: 28/06/2010 by richiex 1 Comments

I got my first Paramotor flight in today in two years and the exhaust nearly fell off, it came loose just before landing, luckily it couldn't come off completely because of a second strap bolted to the top.

The wind on the ground on take off was about 2-4mph but higher up it was around 20mph, in fact at one point I was going no where, just hovering listening to my music, great view though, very clear no haze whatsoever due to the thunderstorm clearing the air the day before.

It took me that long to get back I ran out of fuel and had to land one field before my landing area, it coughed, spluttered then stopped 30 foot up then I came down quicker than I wanted, although I did glide nicely over one field it was a risk trying to make another as a wall was looming! And I've hit one of those before, it hurts!!
