3.0 out of 5 stars Paramotoring, get bitten by the bug, 6 April 2000

By	R. J. Maher "gordon_geko_2000" (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book seems to suggest that if you can Paraglide, can cope with the 20-30kg of a paramotor on your back, you can fly a Powered Paraglider, without too much difficulty, having had appropriate training. The book gives instruction on good practice and best technique for handling and flying with a paramotor, regulations on air law, weather etc. I particularly liked the takeoff and landing commentaries and accompaning photographs, which I still read/look at and seem to get more and more from each time.

I bought Touching Cloudbase and this book at the same time, however I need not have. Parmotoring covers all the prerequisite Paragliding skills in this one book, including paraglider dynamics, history and weather, basic flying.

In essence if you have already done a certain amount of free flight paragliding, and have a free flight book, you will find half of this book a recap on what you already know/read. The Paramotoring aspects will probably be new, however, and help a lot with what to expect from formal PM training and beyond.

If you are a prospective pilot who is considering taking up the sport, this book is a good choice with lots of pictures and will likely get you well on the way to being bitten by the flying bug. The book certainly left me wanting a lot more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Covers all you need to know to understand the sport well., 8 Jan 2002

By	nick.darbyshire@littlewoods.co.uk (northwest england) - See all my reviews

I bought this book to learn more about the sport as I knew of no-one that flew these machines. This book gives you all the information you need to understand the way paramotors fly and explains in great detail what to expect from these great little machines. It starts from the basics of flight right through to 'the big day' of going solo and explains what you training will be like, how long it takes and gives a complete sylabus of the training schedule. Paramotoring from the ground up includes a meteorology section explaining weather as well as other intuative bits. It will have an aspiring pilot buying a kit sooner than he or she thinks. Don't know what machine to buy? This book even gives a brief market review will useful numbers as well as websites. You will find you have finished reading this book before you know it! The pages have loads of great pictures but the text only covers half of each page leaving the book looking twice as big as it should be. One you could read in a couple of hours, but one that will have you reading over and over again if you are new to the sport. I give it 4* because I think the content is a bit skinnier than I expected. One easily worth buying and one that will answer almost all of your questions.
