http://u-turnusa.com Paramotor training from powered paraglider master SUPERDELL. Learning the sport of powered paragliding or powered skydiving is best if you get with world class pilots right up front so you can learn the basics as thoroughly as possible. Mastering glider control makes a huge gigantic difference in not only your safety but also the fun you have. If you don't get the basics down from the beginning then it will always be a struggle to do anything you want to do and just getting off the ground without crashing will feel like a real accomplishment. Once you get the proper skills though you will be able to launch pretty much anywhere you want with total confidence. Glider mastery from a WPSDA certified instructor is absolutely mandatory if you want to really enjoy this sport as it was intended. Contact WPPGA officials at http://wppga.org or http://u-turnusa.com or call 801-631-1731 or in the USA call toll free at 800-707-2525.

  • Hi Dell. Wanted to ask your opinion on the A & C launch technique. That is where you have the A's in one hand and the C's in another rather than the conventional method.

  • @iftyshifty Nope not for paramotoring as you have a throttle in your hand so it isn't realistic. One finger on each A for a reverse. Best way to go.

  • What is that technique? I mean just before pulling up the glider, you pull hard and quickly the breaks... I have never seen or done that.. Is it good because of the high wind speed? Thanks!

    LADO

  • @dahlolsen That is actually wrong. They were trying to bounce the glide off the ground which is the correct technique but if it is already on the ground then hitting the brakes doesn't work as well. If you start to pull it up and it just doesn't go then yes you can hit the brakes, bring it back down and then immediately pull it back up using it's own energy to "bounce" it off the ground. That does indeed work awesome if it is windy.

  • Was that about 15 mph wind there Dell? And what is the max wind speed should a person fly their paramotor at. Any thing above 10 mph I usually call it a day .

  • @cled66 Hi, this was upwards of about 20 mph wind. Usually beginners are good to up to about 15. It really just depeneds on skill level & equipment though.
