Welcome to www.ParaFly.co.uk ***

We are a bunch of local flying enthusiasts who fly Paramotors from the Hull Aero Club at Leven Airfield just outside Kingston upon Hull. We chose paramotors not only for the cheapness, but also because of the freedom that comes from hanging beneath the wing and been able to take in the views all around.

So what is i t that we do?

Paragliding is a recreational and competitive flying sport. A paraglider is a free-flying, foot-launched aircraft. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing, whose shape is formed by its suspension lines and the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing.

Powered paragliding, also known as paramotoring, is a form of ultralight aviation where the pilot wears a motor on his or her back (a paramotor) which provides enough thrust to take off using a paraglider wing. It can be launched in still air, and on level ground, by the pilot alone — no assistance is required.

In many countries, including the United States, powered paragliding is minimally regulated and requires no license. The ability to fly both low and slow safely, the 'open' feel, the low equipment and maintenance costs, and the portability are claimed to be this type of flying's greatest merits.

Powered paragliders usually fly between 15 and 45 mph (25 and 70 km/h) at altitudes from 'foot-dragging in the grass' up to 18,000 ft (5400 m) although most flying is done under 500 ft (150 m) AGL (above ground level). Because of the low forward speed possible and sensitivity to crosswinds, paramotoring is impractical for most of the year over much of the globe, and is generally a summer sport.

The paramotor, weighing from 45 to 80 pounds (20 to 36 kg) is supported by the pilot during takeoff but then, after a brief run (typically 10 feet or 3 metres), the wing lifts the motor and its harnessed pilot off the ground. After takeoff, the pilot gets into the seat (previously folded for takeoff) and sits suspended beneath the inflated paraglider wing. Control is available using brake toggles in each hand and a hand-held throttle.

We now offer a full paramotor training course. Details available here http://www.parafly.co.uk/index.php?pageid=training

Feel Free to join in with our inane ramblings. You don't need to be local as all informations shared will help everyone.

We are now offering a service where we can review your products and tell our members an honest opinion of their value. After the review our members have the honest opinion of the products and choose whether they want to purchase these items or not. You would get access to the full review of the products to be able to use in your own marketing or update the item to make it better.

Nothing is kept a secret, all reviews are independent and honest. If its a good product we will tell you its good, if its a bad product we will say its bad and how to improve it.

We can then return them to you via your own courier, however in most cases we will donate them to a local charity who benefits from them. You would be given the charity details if you needed proof that they had been donated.

Please contact the site administrators Carl05 or Paramotormanal for details of where to send your submissions.
