Paramotoring allows us to go almost wherever we desire instead of solely relying on the power of nature. The ability to briefly land, for fuel and supplies, opens us up to a whole new range of adventures.
In reality, travelling cross country requires nothing more than a paramotor, a wing and good weather. You can sleep in your wing and source food en route but to make it safer and more comfortable, I opt for a few extra items. When weighing up the benefits of these extra items it’s easy to think it’s just one more thing, but when does that stop? Here’s what I see as essential, with my kit included at the end in italics.
1> Wing
The wing is the first step. More advanced wings offer better efficiency but come with a higher risk of being uncomfortable in turbulent conditions. Choosing the right size is critical for efficiency and more importantly, not forcing a nil-wind 100m sprint. Ozone Sirocco 3
2> Paramotor
The right frame and engine combination is next. You’ll spend most of your time...
