How much does a Paramotor weigh?

Love the Phoenix K2 Design! Waiting for mine to come in the mail! Congrats!

I like the innovative way they used to “fix” the frames! I think you should get an EOS 105 water cooled for that X-lite frame.. 😂 tons of power, light, and very cool motor!!...

Sweet ! I need to upgrade my Viking !

Where in Alberta are you from? I know this sounds kinda creepy asking it but I’m from Alberta too. I’m only 15 but this looks like an awesome thing to get into👍

How hard is the training to learn to fly one of those and do you have to get a licence before you fly I'm right interested in this and I live in the Alberta area

[@wills.5762]

Training isn't real bad. You do need a degree of physical fitness to get ground handling down, but its not particularly hard. You will need a student pilot permit to take your first flights, and then you will need to get an ultralight license to fly alone. There's 3 schools as far as I know in Alberta. Wayne Mitchler in Wetaskawin, Claudio and Gerry run Air Adventure around Drayton (I attended Air Adventure, super great time. They have a winch which makes it a whole lot easier), and Fly Guy Alberta (Jason) runs ParamotorSports Canada down by innisfail. Last I heard, Jason was booked solid for the 2020 year so far, but I believe Claudio still has some room.

Prateek Walia Legally, and without having a mao to see the airspaces around there, I dont know why not. Practically, dont do it. Flying over a city could generate noise complaints, youll likely encounter turbulent air, and other aircraft. And if something goes wrong, you dont have any landing options. That said, theres a lot of nice places to fly outside the city. Alberta Flyguy runs a school out of Innisfail and I think most of his videos are around the same area.

[@wills.5762]

Prateek Walia Maybe at best. But I still strongly advise against it for all the other reasons. If you only want to fly over the city, paramotor isnt gonna be a good time for you. Get a regular PPL and fly cessnas

Kangook still makes cheap frames that bend or break easy.... and they are by no means light by today’s standards.

[@DavidoMartinez]

How can you even land with that thing safely

[@jaydenanko1640]

with all due respect. The changes kangook made have nothing to do with you. Kangook has been listening to deaths and complaints for around 5 years. All they have done until now have been to blame the customer for not stowing brakes properly. Even after a few deaths. A few years ago they made some velcro netting pieces to patch the problem but they charged $100 for them. It is great that David finally made some changes after years of criticism. The new changes look good and I don't think that anyone really cares if the three pieces match. In reality, when you break a section, you end up ordering one anyway.
