Does anyone do paramotoring here? [Flying]

So, was just wondering if any MPGH members used paramotors or currently do? I am looking to invest £10,000 into a decent kit with some minimal training for the basics, and was wondering if anyone had recommendations or photos/videos to share with us.

not about that life, didn't even know what that was until i searched it on google.

Wanted to but I'm afraid of the air traffic, there is a private airport on my island and im pretty sure ill get in trouble if I went flying around on something like this.

No, but it looks really cool!

It looks awesome, you should try it out!

For me its just a cool thing to watch/look at but I'd never do it myself.

That is something I wanna do. 10k for a kit seems pricey for it tho

True, I suppose that you can get cheaper kits, used ones go for like £3,500, should give it a shot Dave.

Dunno if I've seen this done in the US tho. I think this would need FAA approval to be used

It's definitely done in the US and you don't need FAA approval. You just need to get trained and shit, I only know this because a youtuber I used to watch is heavily into paramotoring. You don't need a license.
