>>1083488Recommended Wing: Ozone Mojo Power
Good for beginners and fun for experts, use this to learn how to ground handle to the point you can reverse launch/forward launch almost every time. Learn to control the wing, feel the wind's energy, use the force. Best place to learn this is on a large empty field around sunset with constant 5mph winds.
This wing has many positive reviews and has the highest rating. Tucker Gott has a video on it:
https://youtu.be/zmyRb_uqUtIYou can also paraglide with it so that's a big plus. I would recommend doing this before attempting a paramotor launch.
You can purchase these things by going to their websites and contacting local dealers who you can call and email. Remember to contact multiple dealers and name a prior price so they'll be competitive., then buy the cheapest one.
Reserve chute: I purchased apco air's oops reserve parachute, in my size. I've never used it so I don't know how effective it is. Yes, it is necessary.
Remember, purchase the glider to your weight. Include everything. you + motor/chassis + reserve (X+39lb+2lb)
The main thing that's difficult to learn is wind. Don't try to fly in anything more than 7mph, in cross winds, or in a different direction. Always launch into the wind. In no wind conditions it's best to attempt a forward launch. In light/moderate wind conditions it's best to reverse launch.
Knowing how to reserve/forward launch reliably and having a few ground handling hours under your belt is essential. If you don't have the reflexes, the ability to communicate what you want to do with the wing, you're in serious danger.
Use a wind sock+extendable pole to identify wind direction and speed. The beach is also a great place to learn, just maybe not for your first rodeo so you don't get sand into your wing.
Once you got this down combine it with the motor and you're off.
