A week of flying Paramotor in the UK

[@Rashers-]

I’m from Ireland 🇮🇪 Just bought a Paramotor this week I need to get a wing next but he gave me a harness and wing for paragliding to practice ground work with for now I’ll go for lessons ect just subscribed to the channel ✅

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Good stuff and good luck! Keep us updated with your progress. I'm up for a trip over the Ireland when you are ready

[@karlitobergkamp8082]

Do you have to pass any written tests etc?

[@Rashers-]

@@karlitobergkamp8082 nope I’m kind of looking to meet up with people in cork at the minute who can help me I’d gladly pay for there time

[@NickSeee]

Nicely put together Vid thanks. I'm interested in the really good quality of noise cancelling you are achieving on your sound setup - I kept thinking you were motor off it was so quiet :-) but when you were wall hopping towards the end I realised you weren't doing that. I've used 360 camera a bit on my flights but sound of the engine needs editing out for sure. Mind you I've never recorded my voice over headset yet... (what app works easiest?) maybe I'll surprise myself when I do...

[@joeambrosino1075]

Amazing views, thanks for sharing.

[@FlyGuyUK.]

You're welcome buddy

[@barrywebber100]

Awesome footage. Thanks for posting.

[@daviddootson9016]

Top thanks for sharing mate , cant wait to get up

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Ta mate.. Don't leave it too long

[@Swaggerlot]

I've had a PPL and a gliding licence in the past. Apart from being able to run a bit, what else do I need?

[@BlunderBars]

Great video mate!

[@mrsusan5672]

You had the entire country to choose from, and you chose to go to Hull?

[@RS-B5ZV]

Amazing video. Where is the rock face please?

[@ZielinskiIrek]

Beautiful, great video!

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Thanks Irek

[@da-hicksta9550]

how practical is paramotoring, ive had a interest for a while now but, yeno the uk how un fair the weather can be

[@jumbledfox2098]

god that's so cool, i'd love to do something like that one day

[@AndrewJamesMagic]

Anyone got any good tips on how to convince your wife to let you get one?

[@markfogel3682]

Don't tell her 😂

[@IshmaelSimpson]

Just get one!

[@JAY1892]

Divorce. 😂

[@RedEyedJedi]

I'm having the same problem but with a GSXR 750 at the moment

[@Kevin-ir7hi]

Forgiveness is easier to get than permission my mate

[@MatthewApsey]

How long did you have to train before you could go up on your own?

[@simonbaxter8001]

Just curious, it there no minimum altitude or distance from obstacles for paramotors? Are there any height or visibility (i.e above cloud) restrictions, based on the fact that GA operate down to around 1500ft and military down to 250 ft.?

[@generic7916]

Iirc in the UK you need to be at least 500ft away from the nearest ground/object, I can't remember the cloud visibilities though

[@lt.dansparamotoradventures2592]

Great video. Love the music

[@Ridingrules10000]

Lovely scenery.

[@bitcoinbeast]

What do you use to figure about what airspace you are in? Is there an app on your phone?

[@MADFORIT-m8r]

Use Gaggle (prob best one, you can see live aircraft, it talks to you and you can actually see your friends on the app a bit like flight radar for planes) or Sky demon (This ones expensive though)

[@Simfight]

Just you and the sky. Awesome

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Absolutely ;)

[@kerrms]

I honestly can’t imagine what it would feel like being free in the air alone to do whatever you want. There’s no traffic you don’t need to worry about getting pulled over. You can get hit by planes and smack into power lines or trees. If I get one Im sticking with just flying. No tricks for me😂

[@lt.dansparamotoradventures2592]

Crazy how you practically become a meteorologist after learning to fly.

[@michaelsparrow2951]

do you have to plot a flight route?

[@JamesCafferty-yi4kc]

Hi where in Hull do you fly from I’ve moved here a year ago and still haven’t found anywhere help please. Thanks

[@tonym992]

Give Ric at Northern Skies Paramotoring. They’re not a million miles from Hull

[@clairehiggins7120]

OK I have got to get some of this action, is there anywhere i can have training in southern England?

[@Bluenose81MCFC]

Just do it 👊🏻

[@paramotordudes5426]

Great flying mate 👍

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Cheers Dudes

[@flybystu69]

Yo FG how long have you been flying?, have you been to any of the parafest festivals?I miss my flying, did a few trips to N Wales cloud base at 1800 ft snowdonia awesome mate ✌👍

[@TheJordonr]

Nice video, thank you!

[@FlyGuyUK.]

You're welcome J

[@makina2022]

is it worth getting into ? how far can you travel per hour ? how long can you stay in the air for ? im genuinley interested.

[@flybystu69]

I was into this sport an what a buzz, we did a flight from Doncaster to cleethorpes, I've got the humber bridge on some footage somewhere, bit off advice it can be a very xpensive hobby, braking props is not a cheap hobby lol

[@makina2022]

​@@flybystu69i need the freedom. appriciate the reply. thanks.

[@bloover]

Don't half get about lol... What do you do .. go gigging and take ya gear with ya?

[@tonyallenby7508]

subscribing to you!! more pls

[@Pete_Hobbs]

Be back for a shred soon dude ❤️

[@Jakingz]

Great video 👍🏻 How many miles can you cover on a full tank ?

[@Slaeowulf]

How long is a piece of string?

[@NickSeee]

Depends on motor and tank size, wing size and most critically on the wind speed, but on a low wind day and with 10 litres of petrol onboard you could do 4 hours at say 30 mph over the ground so 120 miles maybe. I usually run out of concentration long before that, and I'm sure someone who's done some long cross-country will be along with some different numbers.

Didn't realise Paul smith was into paramotoring
