Where I can takeoff from?
How much space do I need?
Is a football field enough for me to take of....all this and many more we will speak in this video!
Maybe you have seen a paramotor flying on the beach. Maybe you have seen a video of Tucker landing at the McDonald's... Anyway if you have just discovered the existence of this sport you probably have lot of questions. We are here to give you answers.
Here you can find all the videos in this series and more coming:
• Welcome to paramotoring.
By no means is this series intended to substitute training. We are here to satiate your hunger for information and leave you hungry for more. Please check our youtube channel for more useful sources:
1. Learn everything about paramotor geometry and design
• Insights Into Paramoto...
2. Find inspiration in our paramotor adventure videos
• SCOUT Paramotor Advent...
3. Become a smarter pilot by learning from our experiments
• Smarter Pilot
Decided that paramotoring is for you? Start with training. Although in some countries a license may not be required, you certainly want to be safe in the air. Get proper training and build a skill for life.
At SCOUT paramotors we build paramotors and paragliding gear. We do not teach but we would gladly help you to find good reliable and trustworthy instructor.

I've been flying 5 years now, I finally flew out of my backyard little field, to learn it is not a good place to fly from. I'll continue to drive to the good field. Thanks for sharing.

This is great information. I wish more people would share info about their fields and the thought processes of wind rotor, trees, ground obstacles, etc is good to see how others think through it.

Great advice. I finally found a dry lakebed / hayfield that I can use for my LZ. You mentioned the need for a 100 meters to take off, for me just learning I also want a good half mile after I take off in case I have to abort for some reason. The winds there are also much smoother. Thanks for the videos.

Living in the appalachian mountains, you learn quickly, how small an LZ you can use. Finding flat lands that are even 300' in size AND w/o powerlines and trees, is near impossible. Nill winds, I find that 100' is a bare minimum and only doable with my larger wing, and when you have room in the air, beyond the 100'. Having a football field is more than enough, assuming its the longer way. With wind helping, these distance shorten considerably.

Finding a LZ is definitely a challenge here in the Seattle, WA, USA area. That has been one of the biggest hurdles in being able to take advantage of a great weather day. I know I've missed out on many days just because it takes about an hour to get to an area to fly.

Mira, Excellent video giving realistic information to new and prospective pilots. This quality of information is needed so people have realistic expectations. This is necessary both for their safety as well as the ongoing success of parmotoring. We definitely do not want new pilots to think they can takeoff and land on small obstructed, downwind of things that produce rotor or make it necessary to do steep turns before stabalised flight speed is attained. Of course such takeoffs are viable with experience. We don't need to attract negative attention. Have fun, Fly safe DrPete

Thanks for an interesting chat about important basic details of paramotoring. I'm in the UK and keen to try the sport before I get too old, I just qualified for my pension. Finding a convenient trainer and then local take off and landing places is difficult. Another obstacle is a mechanic who will work on paramotors. I've tried many auto garages, also garden machinery mechanics who maintain chainsaws, etc, none will work on my paramotor, it's a problem.

You don’t need a mechanic. These engines are so simple. Your instructor can help you or you can do it yourself using these tutorials ru-vid.com/group/PL_h5-6xkVJYM1vqAMvfx55-MnWkduwdp4&si=Uzow0Etdloe5S3PU

@barrywebber100 5 месяцев назад

The single local trainer I found would not offer mechanical assistance and has not been encouraging in offering training either! Which I find bizarre. As you say that leaves the option of trying to do it myself.

@NathanMellor 5 месяцев назад

I have a yard that might work for North/South takeoffs with powerlines close by. And an airport where I would hope for east/west. I'll probably start with the airport.

Thanks Miro! Great practical information. Love the videos!

I'm thinking about going to training this coming winter. I'm a farmer and there's thousands of acres around me but most of it is farmland. Certain times of the year these fields would work great but other times of the year I won't be able to use them. There's also pasture land around me but this is normally crappy land with hills, rocks, holes, etc. I'm sure once I get experience I'll start to see way more lz's that I could use. My question is, is taking off from wheat stubble ok for the wings. For example I'm guessing soybean stubble would be a terrible idea as it would grab and try to tear the wing.

@Logan4661 5 месяцев назад

You might consider using a large tarp, but I would recommend waiting until your kiting skills are top notch and landing skills are pretty good too, so you can launch and kill the wing on it. Stubble is a PITA even when you're just trying to rosette your wing, let alone inflate it.
