  • I'm a huge fan of your videos,(and hope to someday be "up there". I was wondering about comfort. Does having your legs dangling in mid air cause them to get numb ? I noticed some people have foot rests which seem to flip up under the seat when not in use. Do you use something like that ?

  • @chipper0059 The Flat Top is the most comfortable unit I've ever flown. The bucket seat with adjustable lumbar support has allowed me to take flights of up to 7 hours without any noticible discomfort. I can't even drive in a BMW for 7 hrs straight without discomfort so the Flat Top is quite remarkable. I find a kick strap actually puts more stress on the lower back and since it also changes the weight & balance along with getting in the way on launch & landing I choose not to use one.

  • One of the best YouTube paramotor videos! Apart from the 'fear' in my other comment this has to be the most fuhn flying ever. I did hear of a quick release harness for working if you get into water, motor out or emergency dipping into a lake,sea. I am surrounded by water in my area so this would be nice. Anyone know where this can be picked up?

    Thanks,

    Mark.

  • @MrUAV100 Yes it is the Flat Tops that have the quick release harness and both times I've been in the water the Flat Top was just floating right next to me where most paramotors will sink to the bottom instantly and take you with them. The Flat Top is the stuff. Give me a call anytime and I'll get you pointed in the right direction so you can do it right the first time and not waste time or money. Dell 800-707-2525

  • I love this sport but fly Cessna and Piper aircraft. Really want to get into this and have a friend who is a pro' insructor in the UK (15 years experience), says he will help. My biggest fear is a large wing 'collapse' as I have seen some nasty footage, and read reports, of this. I know prevention is possible but knowing the weather is never 100% guaranteed there is always a chance to get unexpected heavy downdrafts hitting your wing right out. What about a reserve chute?

  • @MrUAV100 The key is to make sure you get a really good glider. The K2 in this video is pretty stupid proof. Just watch the video where they try to screw it up and no matter what they do it just pops right back out. The K2 is the safest glider I know of. Then if you get a Flat Top and a reserve your odds of getting injured or killed are currently zero as nobody ever has. 15 years doesn't mean they have done it right for 15 years. If you send me a video I can check them out for you.
