The one thing I would have added: Go to training first! You will learn what decent gear looks like and feels like, plus you won’t be beating up your gear as you learn. After training you can hit your instructor to see if a used kit is a good deal, or old, antiquated crap. (If you are buying used)

yep. You can land safely without the motor. Not without the glider. A new glider is pretty key especially for your first one

Thats what my instructor that I used did to me , Frame wasn't made anymore so no parts so the motor was old too and wasn't my size either

@jedidiah.herrmann 25 күн бұрын

A must for all new pilots! Also, I come from the camp that training and instructor help will point you in the right direction. I credit my school for helping choose the best paramotor and wing that fit my skill set!

Ditto! My instructors were massively helpful when it came to gear

@MillionYearProgram42 I agree 100% I followed the sport for a couple years before training, but finding what size wing and style of paramotor felt comfortable was priceless.

I got my first wing inspected for line strength and porosity at BA this year, 2018 Dudek 28 Uni 1.1. Porosity passed exceedingly in 4 colors. The short 'triangulated' lines at the glider (ones that will fail if any usually) barely passed however did not pass to recommended load. Time for all new A lines at minimum, including all the A lines that lead up to the glider attachments.

Nice video with solid advice explained concisely. I'd still suggest most people buy new PPG equipment until they gain the skills to recognize and/or test whether used equipment is worth purchasing.

@milesb4231 25 күн бұрын

Great advice. I'm selling my older scout soon but I can say that it's still very "modern" compared to the ones you showed.

Edited Comment.. my mistake! im flying paramotor since 2010.. my first gear had SWING ARMS... it means 14 years ago... But new designs are much better anyway

@TrevorSteele1 22 күн бұрын

I never deleted your comment. Simmer down my friend, just because you disagree with me wouldn’t mean I’d remove your comment. And hey, Swingarms is just one thing that evolved over the last decades. I only pointed out, one thing. There’s plenty of other things. And yes swingarms have been around for a while.

You didn’t say much about not getting scammed… Pretty much assume anyone selling anything on facebook marketplace is out to scam you or rob you. If you’re not buying in person at a flight school or fly in or something where you can see the gear and talk to the person, and where there are witnesses… just say no. That pretty much goes for anything. In my town last night someone tried to rob a who was selling his motorcycle on marketplace. The robber got shot in the face four times so I don’t think it will happen again. But yeah, facebook marketplace is awful.

@Sammy19327 25 күн бұрын

Great advice. The last thing a PPG pilot needs is to worry about the condition of his wing. But what does one do when all dealers refuse to sell you the Glider you need? 🤔

@TenMillionYearProgram42 25 күн бұрын

Are they refusing because you don't have a lot of experience, and they don't want to sell you a death wing? That's standard; it's good they're looking out for ya and putting your safety over their profits.
