Nice video Barry. I had a paraplane in 1984, then bought a cessna. Looking to go back into it. Been doing alot of reading, and the Apco seems to be the best of the best. I don't think a dealer of any paramotor will put a newbie on one at first, unfortunetly. ....what Paramotor do you suggest, give me 3 please, and write me, or for anyone reading this, thanks, firefighter tim andrew, connecticut

Hi Barry
Not sure if the wing in the video is the one I just bought from Paul??
Looking forward to flying it!!
It comes in REALLY fast - any pointers for landing??
Thanks
Dave

@barrycheese1 By the way I have the same van as you just the longer version...
it would have been more impressive if you would have landed back in the van :-)

What was your maximum speed? I just received mine but have no engine to try it :(

@Leocir Hi, with the tail wind at about 15mph and speed-bar at full I've done 58mph, like flying a microlight. Just a couple of tips... reverse launching, don't pull hard on the A's just let it float up and on the forward launch keep you shoulders square,arms in line with your shoulders, no A's at all with your thumbs right at the bottom of the A 's, it will go up like a dream.

@barrycheese1 No A's at all on forwards?? You mean just hang them on my thumbs and keep a square running? Thanks for all the tips! I really appreciate it!

@Leocir Yes, were the a's meet at the bottom, the stiching that is conneterd to the other riser. you should have about 6" or 7" of the A riser above your thumb.

@Leocir Just one more thing, keep square and try not to get you arms forward of the cage.
