Is this the appropriate thread for paramotors? Only read last two pages, don't hate me please. E: Read the OP and yes this is apparently the thread for this stuff. Content! I am about to close on a purchase of my first paramotoring equipment. Is there anyone in the Oregon area that does this sort of stuff already? I need airbuds.

Volkerball posted:What did you get, and where? I'm planning on going to a training thing here before the summer is over, but I'm still a little ways out from being able to buy everything. Not in the Oregon area btw. I got an entire setup from Kyle at power2flyusa.com. I won't discuss price but mention it if you're military and he'll go all out to make it work for you. He also hosts a school out of Corpus Christi, Texas. G8 frame and harness, Moster 185 plus, Dudek Universal wing. I convinced him to toss in an hour meter so I could monitor for maintenance better and an exhaust temp meter. Should be to me in two weeks he says. Very good service in my opinion. I'm taking the cheap route to training since most schools are $1500. I'm going to try to get a ground school for a few hundred dollars and see if that's enough for me to be safe, otherwise I'll be reading as much as I can on safe practices. I've already put in over 20 hours of reading on how to control a paraglider and equipment handling. I'll probably put in another 20 before I even touch my gear. I've gotten a few offers from people to help me out so I don't go crashing and giving everyone a bad rap. Honestly, I was hoping I would stumble into a group that would help me get training for cheaper. It doesn't seem to be big here in goonland but my work has an amateur airplane group I need to join and maybe I can link up with some paramotor guys there that can help me get the basics down. I'll upload my first crash here since I have a GoPro.
