If it's safe and reliable it's worth it. If you are new to the sport and don't have $10k - $15k there is nothing wrong with cheap stuff, just make sure you have a knowledgeable person inspect it thoroughly. At the end of the day safety is the most important thing but once you're up in the air it doesn't matter if you have a fancy expensive model or an older inexpensive model. Congratulations and safe flying !!!!

I got one for $200, including 2 harnesses, wing, helmet, radio and 4 qts of 2 stroke oil. Middle aged woman in a Cadillac SUV, not sure if it was a concerned mom, wife, or pissed off ex, she just wanted it gone :-)

You make a good point, Mark. Lorran gives good advice on the sport. I just recently started flying with a guy locally and naturally thought a paramotor is a paramotor is a paramotor. Wrong! We got out to the LZ and got low on fuel. Naturally, I thought they were all the same, like weedeaters, and outboard motors, etc. Each manufacturers oil mixing requirements are different. I think on our P.APs it is 67:1? I contacted Lorran and he set me straight. Great video!

Sounds like it’s some kinda electric/gas hybrid motor. Strange sounding motor.

He can change the engine and weight shift swing arms

The reason for the twist bit (when on the throttle) is because the two hang points are close to the center. If you put them out further apart, you'd have less twisting.

That is super cheap especially for a complete motor!! With high hang points you loose a bit of stability too.

So $1250 for the motor, and that was a second-hand one, meaning it's not a certainty you'll be able to find anything similar. Then you still have to buy a wing, and this all assumes you can already fly it. The training course alone costs something like $3500, and in many countries (including mine), that certification is legally required. So you're not gonna fly for less than like $7000, thus I vehemently disagree with the "flying can be cheap" statement.

@MarkHuneycutt

4 жыл бұрын

A disagreement with "Flying IS cheap" would make more sense. I said "Flying can be cheap". Emphasis on CAN. Nobody said it IS. Todd received paragliding instruction for free through his friend before I met him. His free flight setup was an Advance Epsilon 6, harness, and reserve for only $800! He ended up selling it all for $800. Then I met him and taught him how to paramotor for free. So if he had kept his old wing paired with this paramotor then he'd be at 2050 + free training or maybe less if he sold his PG harness. I have also bought a wing for $800 so it's doable. If you want to get in cheap then you need to have patience when it comes to finding gear and making friends. It can be done. Even the ratings can be free if your friend is an instructor.

Go meet people, watch people fly, talk about flying, and immerse yourself. You'll probably meet instructors, people willing to sell gear, etc. I hate that it's expensive because flying is such a joy however I don't think people shouldn't pursue it based off the stereotypical price tag.
