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.

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 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.
