That's a fantastic question and one we get a lot... It's really important to remember that "less is more" in PPG. When I first got into the sport, I wanted the "biggest, best, most expensive motor" because I thought it would be better than the rest. I'm so glad I didn't buy the most expensive one, and we always encourage our customers to get "just what they need" to enjoy the sport to its fullest. The engine and wing are based on a few things. It's all about finding the right "power-to-weight" ratio, and some of it has to do with "Pilot personal preference." First is deciding if you want to fly a backpack unit, a Quad, a Trike, or both. This comes down to personal preference, transporting the unit, and also Pilot ability (for example, if someone has bad knees, they may want wheels.) Then we pick a motor... This is determined by your body weight for the most part. The gliders have a weight range, so your weight will also help us determine the glider you may need. Elevation where you live is also a factor in picking a glider. Higher elevation Pilots may need a larger glider. Age is also a factor. We want Pilots to continue flying their entire lives. If someone buys a Foot-Launch unit in their mid 50's and they decide they want to switch to Quad in their 60's, we don't want them to have to purchase a whole new Paramotor again. For our older Pilots, we will often recommend a backpack motor that has enough power to be mounted to a wheeled-platform should they choose to switch later. The last thing is your height. For taller or larger Pilots, we have certain harnesses and accessories to ensure the most comfortable experience possible. I hope this information helps you and others who are looking to get into the sport =) LET'S MAKE THIS EASY: When you have time, contact our office with your age, weight, height, and elevation where you live. We can put together some customized price quotes that include the best recommended motors for your needs. We're happy to help!

how this video has 32 dislikes baffles me. 2 of the most responsible people ive heard run a business in a long time. im proud to hear you pride yourself in using american parts. kudos
Oh man... The "politics" in this sport are staggering... I used to run chains of Karate Schools and I thought there was a lot of ego there, and it doesn't even compare to how cutthroat this sport can be. For us, it's all about the flying and we stay away from those who care more about brand than this life-changing experience. The sport would be so much more amazing if other companies or Dealers were more open minded.

Lololol... I'm sure there are a few there. I worked for Flat Top for a couple of years before coming here. It was a very "interesting" experience to be politically correct in my choice of words ;) I wish I could get those 2 years of my life back, but I learned a lot about "what not to do" haha! There are some characters in this sport. That's for sure. It's not too hard to figure out who they are and stay away. Hope you have a great week Justin and get some flying in! =) -Rob W.
Totally! You can't please everyone - that's for sure. The feedback is actually a great tool for content creators and businesses like us. For some reason though, in this sport people will go way out of their way to post nasty comments or dislike videos out of spite and brand biases. In a sport that is so life-changing and positive, it surprises a lot of people to see the overwhelming negativity from some. One of the ways we try to stand out is by not participating in things like that. We just want people to enjoy their adventures.

I have been in the airline industry since 94 and I am just now finding these! They look fantastic! Saw someone's video flying over OBX it looked incredible!
Brian Haycraft Thanks for the comment Brian! There is nothing out there like a Powered Paraglider! When you have a moment, give us a call so we can answer any questions you have about the sport =)
Hi. I want to get one of these and go across the country. Do they have cruise control and can i get some luggage and a table so i can eat snacks? And how fast do they go?
Lol! Depending on the unit, they do have plenty of storage capability - especially for those who want to take camping, hunting, or fishing gear with them. The average speed is about 18-25 MPH, however, you can get speed-bar systems or different gliders that can more than double that speed... Faster means you lose some of the passive safety features, so I'd recommend starting out low and slow until you get comfortable in all situations. Give us a call anytime if you have any more questions.

Really good video. Super informative, you touch on pretty well every point especially the one about your average person being 55 and 220. I have dreamt of doing this all my life and recently asked if 60 and 170lbs.is too old. I am getting more encouraged to look into lessons this spring. Thanks again.
Great message Chris! Thanks for taking the time to research the sport. Many people invest before thoroughly researching all the options out there. I ended up buying AND training twice because the first person I called wasn't a good experience at all. I trained on the coast, but lived inland. It's so easy to train where the wind is perfect all day long, but I didn't learn anything! I remember when I first discovered this on UA-cam and started calling around... It was so hard to get a straight or honest answer... Every Manufacturer I called would tell me that "their stuff was the best, and everything else is horrible." One of the reasons why I have a BlackHawk and even work for the company now is the way I was treated and the level of honesty in talking to very down-to-earth people - instead of some of the eccentric "used car salesmen" out there ;) We have had MANY Pilots that are 70+ years old on our Training Field, so you are "young" by comparison! Let's get you some more information and answer any questions you have... Give us a call when you have time. We're always here to help.

As soon as I saw one of these paragliders in action I immediately thought of what a great way to go fishing.... I await future developments with great interest.
ABSOLUTELY!!! I'm an Angler and a Gold Prospector! I've been able to access places that no one else can get to. As long as I have a small area to takeoff again, I can access some amazing untouched spots. It's so easy to mount some fishing or gold panning gear to a Paramotor and go on an adventure.

I live in Kitty Hawk, NC OBX you just might have seen me Brian. I fly all around the Wright Brothers National Monument weekly and hope everyone on earth that fly's or has an interest in it will come by and see it before they pass. I am blessed to live in a grand ole place where arguably it all began. These are classy people who run BlackHawk Paramotor and I urge you to give them a call. I love their video's, very informative.
I would love to start. I've been coming back for years now. Now that I've started my career, I finally have the cash flow to get started! I'm afraid of heights, but for some reason, this doesn't scare or intimidate me in the same way. :)
I have seen a couple videos on paramotoring and thought it was cool and I am absolutely blown away by all the great information in this video and the support in the comments even though some of it is people joking around these are truly dedicated people and if I ever want get one I know who I'm coming to
This guy is a good businessman. I'm gonna check out Black hawk as soon as my saving account I have set aside for this gets up enough gear and training. I weigh 150lbs 5'11" 44 years old.. Very honest and professional.

I have been researching paramotoring for the last several months . I know with my limitations I will have to go with a quad or trike. As far as which paramotor is the best you will get 100 different opinions. . But what I have found in as far as dependability most of it comes down to regular maintenance [for any engine] and in a two stroke a good quality mix oil in the proper ratio. Also the proper carb settings , too lean and you will fry the piston. Always do a proper pre-flight check. As far as cost I have friends who will drop 20-30 k on a boat to run back and forth on the lake , so for the enjoyment of flying it's not really that expensive. I really enjoy your video's, keep up the good work.
What an EXCELLENT comment Larry! It really shows that you have been doing your research and I encourage everyone to do that. You are absolutely correct... If you take the little extra time to conduct a pre-flight check, use gauges for the early detection of a potential problem, and take good care of the motor, it will last many years of amazing adventures!

I was visiting my family in PA and saw two people paramotoring near a local outdoor eatery. One week later it's still on my mind. I'll have to explore this. There is a ride at Disney in Florida (Universal, maybe?) where you sit in a chair that is suspended in front of a huge projection screen, and you "fly" around the world. It was my favorite ride all week. I thought of that ride when I saw these two people in the sky above me, flying around.

Hi I’m watching this video in the uk and it has to be one of the most informative videos for a potential beginner,I’ve been looking into this sport for over a year worrying about foot launching due to leg injuries I’m 280llb you have clarified the quad system to me and they are not as big as I thought they would be and seem straightforward to fly with a bit of training of course thanks for the vid
And yes, I just shared this on my facebook page as well. Not for a tshirt although tee shirts are always welcome. I shared it because your video is one of the most honest videos I have found about choosing a paramotor for yourself. And this clearly distinguishes you from the competition.
Thanks for such a fantastic comment! It's a tough Industry. This is the 2nd Manufacturer I've worked for and I'm so glad I'm here instead of where I was. The "honesty issue" or integrity is why I switched Paramotor Manufacturers. It's so important to be honest with people - especially when it comes to selling them an actual "aircraft." I don't know why it's so hard to get honest answers from Dealers and many Manufacturers in this life-changing sport. There is so much ego involved and most of the time Dealers are at each other's throats to sell a Paramotor. The Industry would see much improvement if everyone got along. For us, it's all about the flying. As long as someone is safe and enjoying their Paramotor (regardless of brand), that's all we care about.

I am a former 777-300 pilot. However, I had an awful accident and lost both my legs below the knee. I lost all my finances due to hospital bills, and of coarse, my license. I have since participated in free fall and am fully able to walk run etc. I guess what i am asking. I would like a basic wing with simple lift. a motor with limited weight due to prosthetic set up. As someone who is pretty poor now, What would you recommend. And a cheeky question, Has anyone ever donated second hand wings or engines. Ok, i know stupid question. But i am desperate to fly again. I simply dont know who to talk to. I apologize if you think i am stupid. But better ask the pros, just like in the airline industry.
So sorry you went through all of that! I can't imagine how challenging it's been. Nothing you have asked is stupid at all. We are here to do anything we can to help people realize their dreams of flying. In the past we had a student who was paralyzed from the sternum down who came out and learned how to fly with us. Below is a link to the videos to check out his journey. We have experience with this and are happy to help! As far as used gear goes, we hardly ever get anything in (because people usually never sell their Paramotors - unless something is wrong).

@@blackhawkparamotor funny thing was it was about two weeks after I stop by and actually visited your facility in Valley Springs that I returned to your facility at my new job to clean your porta potties LOL nobody was around to really say hi to that I met but just wanted to say again it was really fun seeing your facilities even though there wasn't anything going on. Thanks for the very short tour.
People often do that just to "say they did it." HOWEVER, it gets very uncomfortable up there... It's cold, there is little oxygen, and most importantly, it puts tremendous strain on your motor - keeping it at full throttle to climb up that high on a tank of gas. For those who want their little 2-strokes to last for years, this isn't the best thing to do regularly =) Thanks for the comment and blue skies!

Lol. We love Tucker... He's working hard to get the sport out there to people who have never seen anything like this. We get a LOT of business from his efforts due to price point... We are one of the very few domestic Manufacturers who don't have to tag on import fees, international shipping costs, dealer commission, etc, that make the same imported motors cost thousands more. It's nice to have help with the "heavy lifting" ;) Most people just want to fly and don't care about "hype." Thanks for taking the time to comment =) -Rob
Hey Rob, I'm from Oman and have been subbed to Tucker for a while. I found out today that we have an actual Paramotring school here! I think I;m going for it. Who can I contact at BH to ask about international shipping to Oman? Thanks for the great video.
Great question! We have countless Pilots who put HUNDREDS of hours on their motor before even thinking about a rebuild... *However*, the question is very relative to how they treat the machine... Just like so many people will keep driving their car - year after year - until it "makes funny sounds" or breaks down on the side of the road. Pre-flight inspections are so very important and don't take much time at all, however, just like people who drive their cars into the ground, many Pilots (OF ANY BRAND) will neglect maintenance or checking things like the spark plug color, therefore possibly having an effect on their machine's performance. Regardless of what brand motor you get, ALWAYS conduct pre-flight inspections, make proper adjustments if you travel to a lower or higher elevation than where you usually fly, use the proper fuel / oil, and store the motor correctly when not in use, make sure the motor isn't running too rich or too lean, and you should have one fine-tuned machine that will last for years! Take care of your Paramotor and it will take care of you =) Hope this helps and let us know if you have any more questions about the sport. We're always here to help you out =) -Robert W.

Talking points: what is a beginner wing? And what other kind of wings are there and how they work? I know nothing, but have enjoyed watching paramotors on UA-cam. Thanks for this video, it was very informative.
GREAT question Jason! There are many Paragliders out there and it can be quite daunting to get a simple answer sometimes... Especially when the person you are getting your information from wants to sell you something lol... I remember running into that when I first discovered this amazing sport. To help answer your question in part: Beginner Paragliders are a little slower to respond (less agile than advanced gliders), they offer more "passive safety features" and are more "forgiving" to Pilot input, they recover VERY quickly and easily if there is a partial / full collapse, many are certified by governing bodies in Europe (by going through many rigorous tests), they are used a lot in schools to learn on, they are typically longer and wider than more advanced gliders, they DO NOT feature "reflex technology," the lines are often thicker, and so much more... When you have time, give us a call. We'd be happy to go over the finer points and can recommend some gliders based on YOUR personal needs and flying style. Hope you have a great start to your week =) Rob W. BlackHawk Paramotors USA Marketing Team Team@BlackHawkParamotors.com (209) 786-7899 blackhawkparamotor.com/

Honest video! nice knowing you guys are solid people, i think this video would confirm once im done training- blackhawk products are in my future.I have a feeling they have great customer service.
Thanks for the GREAT comment Cole! It can be really hard to get an honest straight answer from Dealers in this sport for some reason. I remember when I first discovered this amazing sport and started calling around. It was amazing to hear some of the things that people would say. Everyone I called would tell me that their stuff was the best, and everything else sucks. Some even go as far as telling people that they will die if they purchase the wrong brand - when this is the safest form of aviation there is. I understand your appreciation for open / honest communication. I worked for another Manufacturer for a couple of years before I came here. It was such a nice change of pace to work with BlackHawk. You are going to LOVE this sport. Be careful when doing research and listen to people who aren't trying to sell you something... That's my best advice.

Oh man... There are just a couple of "characters" in this sport (Dell Schanze being another one), who cause problems for everyone - not just us. PLEASE be careful with ANY Dealer who takes attention away from their own product by talking negatively about others. Especially if they are using "fear" to push their products. Fear just doesn't belong in this sport and is a horrible way to try and sell someone a product. If Honda was telling people "you will die if you buy a Suzuki," can you imagine how people would react to that kind of unprofessionalism? It's so strange some people do that... We are the largest, lowest-price Manufacturer in the US. An example would be like calling a small town shop and ask them what they think of Walmart down the street... They just can't compete and many just lose themselves in the unnecessary "politics" of the sport. Most people are amazing and it should be all about the flying - not what logo you have on your gear. Pilots get so nasty and brand-biased sometimes (like Ford and Chevy owners lol). I strongly urge you to call other Manufacturers before deciding on a brand. I don't care if you buy one from us, or someone else... As long as YOU are happy with your choice, that's all that matters! Below is an article you might want to check out.

Lol the entire comments section is like "I'm obese as fuck am I too fat to fly?" And blackhawk responds all like "Dawg we can handle two of you dawg" but my problem is very different. I'm 6'2 and 150 pounds so I'm light as fuck but my limbs are really long, is the cage bigger on the 125? I don't want my legs dangling into the prop
Lolol. The average age of our customers is 55 and around 225lbs... A lot of people get into this sport after they retire and are looking to accomplish their dreams before it's too late. We've had some VERY tall students in our school... Every body-type imaginable - including paraplegic students. Even if you put your legs all the way back, the cage is designed to protect them - as well as glider lines when you land / takeoff, etc. There is only one brand out there that has what they call a "crumple zone" which was a gas-tank enclosure design flaw and it will majorly bang into the back of your legs when running. I used to work for that company and the machines are old-school technology. Other than that, most units out there are designed to protect the Pilot above all. I'd strongly suggest a cage that has double reinforced rings... There are some lightweight units out there where corners are cut to save weight - making the cages bendable where the prop or a body part can hit them. Be careful and research everything you hear. Dealers will tell you anything to sell something. Listen to what customers have to say over someone selling you something. There is a Facebook group called "Paramotor" with over 10,000 members. That's a good place to start =) -Rob -TEAM BLACKHAWK Cell: (209) 418-5990 Office: (209) 786-7899 Email: Team@BlackHawkParamotor.com Website: blackhawkparamotor.com/

Very insightful video. Up front information is hard to come by and that is very frustrating for people starting out. There is very little up front information because nobody wants to make claims of performance because ACTUAL performance is so dependent on many factors. So, often, we are left to do our own research and have to make best guesses with little or no actual guidance. However...once you make your purchase, you have dozens of people telling you why you made the wrong decisions. These are the same people who had no answers when you were asking for guidance.
This industry is RIDICULOUS! I completely can relate to your frustrations. I remember before I worked for a Manufacturer, I was in the same situation you were... Calling around and listening to a bunch of "used car salesmen" telling me ANYTHING to make a sale... Most of the time they would spend the majority of the conversation talking crap about other brands, instead of educating me on what they sell. EVERY Manufacturer I called said that "their stuff is the absolute best and everything else is total crap." That statement is total crap lol. There are several decent products out there. Here's what I would recommend: There is a group on Facebook called "Paramotor" Group. It has over 10,000 members. There are a LOT of Dealers on there, but many more Pilots who aren't trying to sell you something. Go on there and listen to people who own a specific motor you are interested in... BUT DON'T LISTEN TO WHAT ANYONE SAYS WHO IS TRYING TO SELL YOU SOMETHING! I know that sounds strange coming from a Manufacturer, but I really get your frustrations. This sport could be so much more amazing than it already is if people would just get along and keep their ego out of the situation. Also, be very careful of people requiring that you spend $10,000 on something before they will even train you. Go with a large facility that will let you try things out before you purchase. I'd be happy to talk to you more. Sounds like we see things very similarly. Give our office a call and let them know that you want my phone number... I'm not going to post it here lol. Hope to hear from you! -Rob Whittaker, BlackHawk Marketing OFFICE LINE: 209-786-7899 My email: DragonParamotors@Gmail.com BLUE SKIES MY FRIEND =)

Hi Ronald! We actually offer discounts to Military Veterans! Make sure to mention that when you talk to our office. I'd recommend checking out the BlackHawk 125 if you are going to stay with foot-launch forever, or the AirMax 220 if you want the capability to add wheels or carry additional payload with you.

+BlackHawk Paramotor Hi Channing! I got your last comment. It would be great to have you come out and see the Ranch in California. We have some amazing places to explore here. We have a big event coming up in April - it happens every year. If you can make it, We'd love to have you. As far as the Flat Top goes, I personally used to work for Flat Top and would be happy to talk to you about my experiences with them. There are a lot of reasons why I chose to represent a different company. If you just Google Dell Schanze and Flat Top, you will see many of those reasons in Dell's arrest reports. We have great gear and amazing people here. If Flat Top is the only company you have experience with, it will be a breath of fresh air when you meet our people or try a BlackHawk motor.

I am 62 yrs young weigh 150 lbs in good shape and live at 8000 ft in the northern Rockies Estes Park CO. What you recommend for me. The shorter takeoff the better. I am also an instrument rated pilot working on my glider rating.
Hi David! I don't know how your comment was missed so I'm sorry for the late response. Welcome to the sport of Powered Paragliding! We have many Pilots who live in Colorado. There's some amazing places to fly there! At your weight, the 125 would work, but I'd suggest a motor with just a little bit more power for that elevation... Our Talon or AirMax are fantastic motors for Pilots at higher elevations and they are only a few lbs heavier than the 125. It's also important that your Instructor goes over making small adjustments to the motor for flying at 8000+ ft, so make sure to mention that to whomever teaches you how to fly. Let's chat... We're happy to answer your questions and help point you in the right direction. Give our office a call when you have some free time =) BLUE SKIES! -Rob W.

So I’m 34 years old I weigh 265/270 and not a chewed piece of bubble gum by no means so basically being a bigger guy I can’t foot launch I have to have a trike?
We have 2-seat Quads and 2-passenger Foot-Launch Paramotors. It depends on the laws where you live, but many people fly tandem (together). BLUE SKIES! -Team BlackHawk SALES: (209) 418-5990 OFFICE: (209) 786-7899 EMAIL: Team@BlackHawkParamotor.com WEBSITE: blackhawkparamotor.com/
! have a similar question as AppCarpenter. Being a former windsurfer and a sailor not a powerboater, there's appeal to paragliding. But I don't live near mountains or other PG flying sites. So I'm considering PPG. Your answer was the first I've seen saying learn PPG first; most say learn PG to know how to control a sail and add the noisy, stinky thing later. PPG first, really?
VARocketry Thanks for the comment! The argument can go either way... There are many different thoughts on this topic. It really comes down to what YOU want to do as a pilot... Are you going to fly more PG than PPG? Does funding prevent you from doing both? They are both so similar, it depends on your goals as a Pilot... In our experience, it's easier to learn PPG than PG due to less uncontrollable factors (the wind / location). If you start out with something that is easier to learn, and provides you a LOT more opportunities to fly (not just depending on the wind at a PG site), and you can always build on those skills later by transitioning into PG. Hope that helps. Feel free to give us a call and talk to one of our Instructors. (209) 786-7899

Looked at the website these are more pricy then what I am finding elsewhere is there a reason they seem to have similar structure and motors. Not sure if these guys are for me but I am considering it as they seem legit and more concerned about a happy customer.
Hi Brandon! Our prices INCLUDE the Paraglider, and many accessories like a wind sock, oil mixing bottle, prop covers, tool kit, glider line repair kit, and more. Most other companies do not include the Paraglider - much less the additional accessories. When you are looking at prices online, make sure to see if they come with the Paraglider. Most gliders cost around $3000 and up - which are included in our prices. This is most often NOT included in other prices out there. I hope that helps and let us know if you have any more questions. We're always here to help, and you are right... We are VERY concerned about customer service and quality of our equipment. BLUE SKIES!

I'm no pilot that being said I'd rather have the power and be able to climb then be doing something stupid down close to the ground and get myself into trouble because I don't have the powers that climb I've seen UA-cam videos of people making these mistakes and crashing because they just didn't have enough power to climb out and because they were showing off flying close to the ground all the sudden you come across obstacle you didn't know was there where you get yourself in a situation where you need to climb

You might know about it, but you didn't touch on probably to greatest benefit to owning a 2 seat PPC/quad. As long as it falls under any of the LSA parameters, is a certified airframe with an "N" number, all of the hours will count towards either commercial or ATP hour requirements. Commercial requires 250 hours, but only 50 have to be in a powered airplane. With 87 octane under 2 bucks, and a 3 gph fuel burn, that's only $1200 for the other 200 hours. Avgas is 5 bucks, a Cessna 172 burns 8.5 gph. Thats $42.50 an hour. $8500 for 200 hours. You can fly for 1400 hours for the same amount with a PPC. Now we are talking commercial transport pilot hours for under $10k in fuel.
That's great information! Thanks for taking the time to share it with the community. As long as people are flying ANYTHING, we're so happy about that. Flight is truly life-altering as you know =).

So as an airline employee, my first thought goes to how portable the motors are. Have you had experience checking them as luggage on a commercial airline?
Absolutely! Our Team Pilots have taken their units all over the world. It really is amazing to take your "personal aircraft" with you in a suitcase wherever you go =) -Rob Whittaker BlackHawk Marketing Team MAIN OFFICE: (209) 786-7899 blackhawkparamotor.com/ Team@BlackHawkParamotor.com
Sure, you can, but it will cost you. One of the worst things about airline tickets are the cost of checked baggage. Oversized can get pretty expensive. Just keep that in mind and check the airline baggage rules. Also for something the size of a paramotor you really need to personally contact them before buying the ticket and get the information first hand.

looks good!!! I purchased a green eagle to my loss......1st of all green eagle is the best ppg in the business....however I did not get what I ordered....it was missing the tundra tires, foot steering, and custom wing.....I was told live with it.....you don't need those things......I am a disabled combat vet with one arm......has anyone ever flown a ppg with one arm.....not very feasible.....I paid $14,700 for a useless machine.....you pay up front...no refunds.......when I inquired if he was going to fix the trike......I was called several anti-semetic remarks......and disrespected me by laughing/making fun of my military disability......and he a former army sf ranger......avoid green eagle...you'll be glad you did.....
We are so sorry Nathaniel! We hear stories like this all the time, and people like that don't belong in such an amazing sport. Our customer service will ALWAYS exceed your expectations. I worked for another Manufacturer for a couple of years before I came here and it was a total circus. I would cringe listening to the owner on the phone - lying to customers - just knowing that it would cause a disaster later. I hope you get your chance to fly after all of that. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help turn this situation around for you... Don't ever lose your dream of flying. It's too amazing =) --Rob W.

Hey guys I'm ready to buy learn and fly, I have an rv so I can stay as long as it takes. My question for you is what's the best time of year to come out,summers can get hot out there but I'm willing to sweat to learn the sport....Thanks ...oh almost forgot Dell Schanze sent me here for the best products.
Dell sent you lol. I worked for him for two years as his Marketing Director. VERY glad to be somewhere else. I highly recommend training inland. I learned on the coast - where there is "perfect smooth winds" all day long and it gave me a false sense of security in my ability to fly. Most people fly inland where the winds are constantly changing. The more of a challenge, the more you will learn. I had to pay for lessons twice which wasn't the plan. The weather is starting to get really nice in California... I'd recommend April or spring time, or in the fall. Summer can get quite hot, and winters here can be cold. We also have Training Centers all over the US, so let us know where you live and we can possibly save you some time & resources by not having to go very far. When you contact our office, let us know your age, weight, and elevation where you live so we can put together a customized price quote for equipment that suits your needs =) -Rob, Team BlackHawk Call or Text: (209) 418-5990 Office: (209) 786-7899 EMAIL: Team@BlackHawkParamotor.com WEBSITE: blackhawkparamotor.com/
Hello, My weight is 85 kilogram, age 37 I want to have a paramotor for joyride, which may go high more than a kilometer, robust enough, electronic start( if possible), including Parachute, harness, emergency parachute. ( Trike or quad is not nedded. ) 1. Can you suggest a paramotor for me? 2. What will be the total cost? 3. Can I get the stuff in India anyhow? 4. If yes how can I get after sell service? 5. Will you send parts if any required later on? Pls bear the pain to answer the above.. Thanks and regards.
Hi Manoranjan! Thanks for the comment and welcome to the sport of Powered Paragliding! I'd recommend looking into our AirMax 220, or Talon 190 Paramotor with an electric start. Below is a link to those motors on our website. As far as cost goes, we just need to calculate the shipping to where you live. When you have time, can you please contact our office and our Sales Director Heidi Lee will put together a customized price quote for shipping to India. We have many customers in India, so it's no problem! As a rough estimate, you will probably be looking at around $9000 for everything needed to fly. It could be more, and it could be less... It depends on what you need and the shipping costs. Hope to hear from you soon!

How do you find out what size wing and engine you need??
That's a fantastic question and one we get a lot... It's really important to remember that "less is more" in PPG. When I first got into the sport, I wanted the "biggest, best, most expensive motor" because I thought it would be better than the rest. I'm so glad I didn't buy the most expensive one, and we always encourage our customers to get "just what they need" to enjoy the sport to its fullest.
The engine and wing are based on a few things. It's all about finding the right "power-to-weight" ratio, and some of it has to do with "Pilot personal preference." First is deciding if you want to fly a backpack unit, a Quad, a Trike, or both. This comes down to personal preference, transporting the unit, and also Pilot ability (for example, if someone has bad knees, they may want wheels.) Then we pick a motor... This is determined by your body weight for the most part. The gliders have a weight range, so your weight will also help us determine the glider you may need. Elevation where you live is also a factor in picking a glider. Higher elevation Pilots may need a larger glider. Age is also a factor. We want Pilots to continue flying their entire lives. If someone buys a Foot-Launch unit in their mid 50's and they decide they want to switch to Quad in their 60's, we don't want them to have to purchase a whole new Paramotor again. For our older Pilots, we will often recommend a backpack motor that has enough power to be mounted to a wheeled-platform should they choose to switch later. The last thing is your height. For taller or larger Pilots, we have certain harnesses and accessories to ensure the most comfortable experience possible.
I hope this information helps you and others who are looking to get into the sport =)
LET'S MAKE THIS EASY: When you have time, contact our office with your age, weight, height, and elevation where you live. We can put together some customized price quotes that include the best recommended motors for your needs. We're happy to help!

how this video has 32 dislikes baffles me. 2 of the most responsible people ive heard run a business in a long time. im proud to hear you pride yourself in using american parts. kudos
Oh man... The "politics" in this sport are staggering... I used to run chains of Karate Schools and I thought there was a lot of ego there, and it doesn't even compare to how cutthroat this sport can be. For us, it's all about the flying and we stay away from those who care more about brand than this life-changing experience. The sport would be so much more amazing if other companies or Dealers were more open minded. Never forget - it's ALL about the flying ;)

They're Flat Top fans, LOL
Lololol... I'm sure there are a few there. I worked for Flat Top for a couple of years before coming here. It was a very "interesting" experience to be politically correct in my choice of words ;) I wish I could get those 2 years of my life back, but I learned a lot about "what not to do" haha!
There are some characters in this sport. That's for sure. It's not too hard to figure out who they are and stay away. Hope you have a great week Justin and get some flying in! =)

Beyond that every single UA-cam vid has usually around at least 20% dislikes.......it's the interwebz dude
Totally! You can't please everyone - that's for sure. The feedback is actually a great tool for content creators and businesses like us. For some reason though, in this sport people will go way out of their way to post nasty comments or dislike videos out of spite and brand biases. In a sport that is so life-changing and positive, it surprises a lot of people to see the overwhelming negativity from some. One of the ways we try to stand out is by not participating in things like that. We just want people to enjoy their adventures. Thanks for the comment =)

I’m 60 years old 5’7”, weigh 155#, athletic and I’m in very good shape. Foot launch for me.
I have been in the airline industry since 94 and I am just now finding these! They look fantastic! Saw someone's video flying over OBX it looked incredible!
Brian Haycraft Thanks for the comment Brian! There is nothing out there like a Powered Paraglider! When you have a moment, give us a call so we can answer any questions you have about the sport =)
Hi. I want to get one of these and go across the country. Do they have cruise control and can i get some luggage and a table so i can eat snacks? And how fast do they go?
haywood jeblome lol. Only about 17 mph depending on your model. And there is pockets on the foot launch models.
If it goes 17 then how far can you go?
Lol! Depending on the unit, they do have plenty of storage capability - especially for those who want to take camping, hunting, or fishing gear with them. The average speed is about 18-25 MPH, however, you can get speed-bar systems or different gliders that can more than double that speed... Faster means you lose some of the passive safety features, so I'd recommend starting out low and slow until you get comfortable in all situations. Give us a call anytime if you have any more questions. We're here to help =)

Really good video. Super informative, you touch on pretty well every point especially the one about your average person being 55 and 220. I have dreamt of doing this all my life and recently asked if 60 and 170lbs.is too old. I am getting more encouraged to look into lessons this spring. Thanks again.
Great message Chris! Thanks for taking the time to research the sport. Many people invest before thoroughly researching all the options out there. I ended up buying AND training twice because the first person I called wasn't a good experience at all. I trained on the coast, but lived inland. It's so easy to train where the wind is perfect all day long, but I didn't learn anything! I remember when I first discovered this on UA-cam and started calling around... It was so hard to get a straight or honest answer... Every Manufacturer I called would tell me that "their stuff was the best, and everything else is horrible." One of the reasons why I have a BlackHawk and even work for the company now is the way I was treated and the level of honesty in talking to very down-to-earth people - instead of some of the eccentric "used car salesmen" out there ;) We have had MANY Pilots that are 70+ years old on our Training Field, so you are "young" by comparison! Let's get you some more information and answer any questions you have... Give us a call when you have time. We're always here to help. Below is a link to a video of a 74 year-old Pilot we recently trained. His message is amazing. Hope you enjoy and that this motivates you even more.

As soon as I saw one of these paragliders in action I immediately thought of what a great way to go fishing....
I await future developments with great interest.
ABSOLUTELY!!! I'm an Angler and a Gold Prospector! I've been able to access places that no one else can get to. As long as I have a small area to takeoff again, I can access some amazing untouched spots. It's so easy to mount some fishing or gold panning gear to a Paramotor and go on an adventure. When you have time, give us a call so we can answer and questions you have about the sport. Hope you have a great week =)

Good points. It's hard to find people with honest answers in this industry. A+ video.
I don't get sick of their videos watching them constantly...
I do that because it very informative....
And one of these people that have to understand it and I ask the questions over and over and over so that I can hear what you're trying to get me to understand in your voice....
I don't think people pay enough attention to that
We're so glad that you are enjoying the videos! I stayed up all night watching UA-cam when I first discovered this life-changing sport. If you ever have any questions, we're here to help!

I live in Kitty Hawk, NC OBX you just might have seen me Brian. I fly all around the Wright Brothers National Monument weekly and hope everyone on earth that fly's or has an interest in it will come by and see it before they pass. I am blessed to live in a grand ole place where arguably it all began. These are classy people who run BlackHawk Paramotor and I urge you to give them a call. I love their video's, very informative.
Thank you for posting this. I asked you to do this video and you did it! Great service!
I would love to start. I've been coming back for years now. Now that I've started my career, I finally have the cash flow to get started! I'm afraid of heights, but for some reason, this doesn't scare or intimidate me in the same way. :)
Did you achieve your dream?
I have seen a couple videos on paramotoring and thought it was cool and I am absolutely blown away by all the great information in this video and the support in the comments even though some of it is people joking around these are truly dedicated people and if I ever want get one I know who I'm coming to
This guy is a good businessman. I'm gonna check out Black hawk as soon as my saving account I have set aside for this gets up enough gear and training. I weigh 150lbs 5'11" 44 years old.. Very honest and professional.
Hi David! Thanks so much for the kind words. Honesty and professionalism have become a little fragmented in this sport. We are working really hard to get good information out there that will help all Pilots. Anytime there are Dealers on commission selling high-dollar items, the lines can get blurred. We will never forget that "it's all about the flying" - regardless of brand. We are here to help people realize their dream of flight and it's very rewarding. If you ever have any questions about the sport, we're always here to help. Feel free to call us anytime if you want to talk about PPG =)

I have been researching paramotoring for the last several months . I know with my limitations I will have to go with a quad or trike. As far as which paramotor is the best you will get 100 different opinions. . But what I have found in as far as dependability most of it comes down to regular maintenance [for any engine] and in a two stroke a good quality mix oil in the proper ratio. Also the proper carb settings , too lean and you will fry the piston. Always do a proper pre-flight check. As far as cost I have friends who will drop 20-30 k on a boat to run back and forth on the lake , so for the enjoyment of flying it's not really that expensive. I really enjoy your video's, keep up the good work.
What an EXCELLENT comment Larry! It really shows that you have been doing your research and I encourage everyone to do that. You are absolutely correct... If you take the little extra time to conduct a pre-flight check, use gauges for the early detection of a potential problem, and take good care of the motor, it will last many years of amazing adventures! So glad you are enjoying our videos and a warm welcome to the sport. Regardless of which brand you chose to buy, we're always here to help Pilots enjoy this sport to it's fullest potential. That being said, if you have any questions, we're always here to help =)

Thank you so much. I'm buying a talon 2 today and I'm excited. You provided so much invaluable information. Much love.
I was visiting my family in PA and saw two people paramotoring near a local outdoor eatery. One week later it's still on my mind. I'll have to explore this.
There is a ride at Disney in Florida (Universal, maybe?) where you sit in a chair that is suspended in front of a huge projection screen, and you "fly" around the world. It was my favorite ride all week. I thought of that ride when I saw these two people in the sky above me, flying around.

I have a 125 and LOVE IT! No problems and almost 200 hrs on it!
Thanks guys- really helped me out. Appreicate the time taken to make this video.
8 year old info, but awesome for someone like me that is exploring the idea of paragliding.
Hi I’m watching this video in the uk and it has to be one of the most informative videos for a potential beginner,I’ve been looking into this sport for over a year worrying about foot launching due to leg injuries I’m 280llb you have clarified the quad system to me and they are not as big as I thought they would be and seem straightforward to fly with a bit of training of course thanks for the vid
footlaunch is a must for me...I have no place I could launch a trike but tons of places to footlaunch...
And yes, I just shared this on my facebook page as well. Not for a tshirt although tee shirts are always welcome. I shared it because your video is one of the most honest videos I have found about choosing a paramotor for yourself. And this clearly distinguishes you from the competition.
Thanks for such a fantastic comment! It's a tough Industry. This is the 2nd Manufacturer I've worked for and I'm so glad I'm here instead of where I was. The "honesty issue" or integrity is why I switched Paramotor Manufacturers. It's so important to be honest with people - especially when it comes to selling them an actual "aircraft." I don't know why it's so hard to get honest answers from Dealers and many Manufacturers in this life-changing sport. There is so much ego involved and most of the time Dealers are at each other's throats to sell a Paramotor. The Industry would see much improvement if everyone got along. For us, it's all about the flying. As long as someone is safe and enjoying their Paramotor (regardless of brand), that's all we care about. Feel free to contact our office anytime if you have questions. We're happy to help... and be honest =)

The man nailed it and why men want to do this at 55.
yeah doing 'acro' is literally the last flipping thing on my mind
I am a former 777-300 pilot. However, I had an awful accident and lost both my legs below the knee. I lost all my finances due to hospital bills, and of coarse, my license. I have since participated in free fall and am fully able to walk run etc. I guess what i am asking. I would like a basic wing with simple lift. a motor with limited weight due to prosthetic set up. As someone who is pretty poor now, What would you recommend. And a cheeky question, Has anyone ever donated second hand wings or engines. Ok, i know stupid question. But i am desperate to fly again. I simply dont know who to talk to. I apologize if you think i am stupid. But better ask the pros, just like in the airline industry.
So sorry you went through all of that! I can't imagine how challenging it's been. Nothing you have asked is stupid at all. We are here to do anything we can to help people realize their dreams of flying. In the past we had a student who was paralyzed from the sternum down who came out and learned how to fly with us. Below is a link to the videos to check out his journey. We have experience with this and are happy to help! As far as used gear goes, we hardly ever get anything in (because people usually never sell their Paramotors - unless something is wrong). Below is also an article on creative ways to pay for a Paramotor. Hope this helps! Reach out to our office anytime so we can continue the conversation =)

@@blackhawkparamotor funny thing was it was about two weeks after I stop by and actually visited your facility in Valley Springs that I returned to your facility at my new job to clean your porta potties LOL nobody was around to really say hi to that I met but just wanted to say again it was really fun seeing your facilities even though there wasn't anything going on. Thanks for the very short tour.
209 area code is right up the street for me. 2 and a half hours to be exact. So cool!
Some guy hit 15,000 feet foot launch
People often do that just to "say they did it." HOWEVER, it gets very uncomfortable up there... It's cold, there is little oxygen, and most importantly, it puts tremendous strain on your motor - keeping it at full throttle to climb up that high on a tank of gas. For those who want their little 2-strokes to last for years, this isn't the best thing to do regularly =)
Thanks for the comment and blue skies! Let us know if you have any questions about the sport.

That was Tucker Gott. that man is a legend. im subbed to him.
Lol. We love Tucker... He's working hard to get the sport out there to people who have never seen anything like this. We get a LOT of business from his efforts due to price point... We are one of the very few domestic Manufacturers who don't have to tag on import fees, international shipping costs, dealer commission, etc, that make the same imported motors cost thousands more. It's nice to have help with the "heavy lifting" ;) Most people just want to fly and don't care about "hype." Thanks for taking the time to comment =)
-Rob
Hey Rob,
I'm from Oman and have been subbed to Tucker for a while. I found out today that we have an actual Paramotring school here! I think I;m going for it.
Who can I contact at BH to ask about international shipping to Oman?
Thanks for the great video.
Great question! We have countless Pilots who put HUNDREDS of hours on their motor before even thinking about a rebuild... *However*, the question is very relative to how they treat the machine... Just like so many people will keep driving their car - year after year - until it "makes funny sounds" or breaks down on the side of the road. Pre-flight inspections are so very important and don't take much time at all, however, just like people who drive their cars into the ground, many Pilots (OF ANY BRAND) will neglect maintenance or checking things like the spark plug color, therefore possibly having an effect on their machine's performance. Regardless of what brand motor you get, ALWAYS conduct pre-flight inspections, make proper adjustments if you travel to a lower or higher elevation than where you usually fly, use the proper fuel / oil, and store the motor correctly when not in use, make sure the motor isn't running too rich or too lean, and you should have one fine-tuned machine that will last for years! Take care of your Paramotor and it will take care of you =)
Hope this helps and let us know if you have any more questions about the sport. We're always here to help you out =)

Talking points: what is a beginner wing? And what other kind of wings are there and how they work? I know nothing, but have enjoyed watching paramotors on UA-cam. Thanks for this video, it was very informative.
GREAT question Jason! There are many Paragliders out there and it can be quite daunting to get a simple answer sometimes... Especially when the person you are getting your information from wants to sell you something lol... I remember running into that when I first discovered this amazing sport. To help answer your question in part: Beginner Paragliders are a little slower to respond (less agile than advanced gliders), they offer more "passive safety features" and are more "forgiving" to Pilot input, they recover VERY quickly and easily if there is a partial / full collapse, many are certified by governing bodies in Europe (by going through many rigorous tests), they are used a lot in schools to learn on, they are typically longer and wider than more advanced gliders, they DO NOT feature "reflex technology," the lines are often thicker, and so much more... When you have time, give us a call. We'd be happy to go over the finer points and can recommend some gliders based on YOUR personal needs and flying style. Hope you have a great start to your week =)

I'm 65 and in decent shape but thinking the quad is the way to go.... private pilot and have parachuted 25 times....when I was in my late 40's. I'm thinking that having you set me up with the equipment and taking lessons around SW Florida . Or I could come out there but it's colder, ha
Now THIS video has got my interest and attention in this company's product line.

Another great video. One comment, when talking about the Rhino cage, seems the Travel Cage was shown often, which I didn't think was available anymore. Last few minutes sums up my experience with you guys, great service, no pressure, but making sure the motor/wing is right. Another flying season is here in the North East! Can't wait!

My dad is turning 60 and this would make his life complete! Is he too old to do this sport? Looks easy.
Honest video! nice knowing you guys are solid people, i think this video would confirm once im done training- blackhawk products are in my future.I have a feeling they have great customer service.
Thanks for the GREAT comment Cole! It can be really hard to get an honest straight answer from Dealers in this sport for some reason. I remember when I first discovered this amazing sport and started calling around. It was amazing to hear some of the things that people would say. Everyone I called would tell me that their stuff was the best, and everything else sucks. Some even go as far as telling people that they will die if they purchase the wrong brand - when this is the safest form of aviation there is. I understand your appreciation for open / honest communication. I worked for another Manufacturer for a couple of years before I came here. It was such a nice change of pace to work with BlackHawk. You are going to LOVE this sport. Be careful when doing research and listen to people who aren't trying to sell you something... That's my best advice.

Why does Captain Kurt from Flight Junkies keep bad mouthing you guys? Is there a history there or is he right about your units being death traps?
Oh man... There are just a couple of "characters" in this sport (Dell Schanze being another one), who cause problems for everyone - not just us. PLEASE be careful with ANY Dealer who takes attention away from their own product by talking negatively about others. Especially if they are using "fear" to push their products. Fear just doesn't belong in this sport and is a horrible way to try and sell someone a product. If Honda was telling people "you will die if you buy a Suzuki," can you imagine how people would react to that kind of unprofessionalism? It's so strange some people do that... We are the largest, lowest-price Manufacturer in the US. An example would be like calling a small town shop and ask them what they think of Walmart down the street... They just can't compete and many just lose themselves in the unnecessary "politics" of the sport. Most people are amazing and it should be all about the flying - not what logo you have on your gear. Pilots get so nasty and brand-biased sometimes (like Ford and Chevy owners lol). I strongly urge you to call other Manufacturers before deciding on a brand. I don't care if you buy one from us, or someone else... As long as YOU are happy with your choice, that's all that matters! Below is an article you might want to check out. Feel free to give us a call anytime to see the difference in our Staff =)
ARTICLE ABOUT FREE TRAINING: blackhawkparamotor.com/free-paramotor-training-lessons-not-always-free/
Lol the entire comments section is like "I'm obese as fuck am I too fat to fly?" And blackhawk responds all like "Dawg we can handle two of you dawg" but my problem is very different. I'm 6'2 and 150 pounds so I'm light as fuck but my limbs are really long, is the cage bigger on the 125? I don't want my legs dangling into the prop
Lolol. The average age of our customers is 55 and around 225lbs... A lot of people get into this sport after they retire and are looking to accomplish their dreams before it's too late. We've had some VERY tall students in our school... Every body-type imaginable - including paraplegic students. Even if you put your legs all the way back, the cage is designed to protect them - as well as glider lines when you land / takeoff, etc. There is only one brand out there that has what they call a "crumple zone" which was a gas-tank enclosure design flaw and it will majorly bang into the back of your legs when running. I used to work for that company and the machines are old-school technology. Other than that, most units out there are designed to protect the Pilot above all. I'd strongly suggest a cage that has double reinforced rings... There are some lightweight units out there where corners are cut to save weight - making the cages bendable where the prop or a body part can hit them. Be careful and research everything you hear. Dealers will tell you anything to sell something. Listen to what customers have to say over someone selling you something. There is a Facebook group called "Paramotor" with over 10,000 members. That's a good place to start =)

These people are so awesome and ahead of the curve making a video like this. They’re are launching the industry so far ahead with this video!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words Brad! We really are trying to bring more positivity and honest information into the sport. Not everyone likes that - especially Dealers on commission lol.

Thank you!
Good meeting Mike today. Hiedi I liked and shared this video. Thanks for the T-shirt
Very insightful video. Up front information is hard to come by and that is very frustrating for people starting out. There is very little up front information because nobody wants to make claims of performance because ACTUAL performance is so dependent on many factors. So, often, we are left to do our own research and have to make best guesses with little or no actual guidance. However...once you make your purchase, you have dozens of people telling you why you made the wrong decisions. These are the same people who had no answers when you were asking for guidance.
This industry is RIDICULOUS! I completely can relate to your frustrations. I remember before I worked for a Manufacturer, I was in the same situation you were... Calling around and listening to a bunch of "used car salesmen" telling me ANYTHING to make a sale... Most of the time they would spend the majority of the conversation talking crap about other brands, instead of educating me on what they sell. EVERY Manufacturer I called said that "their stuff is the absolute best and everything else is total crap." That statement is total crap lol. There are several decent products out there. Here's what I would recommend: There is a group on Facebook called "Paramotor" Group. It has over 10,000 members. There are a LOT of Dealers on there, but many more Pilots who aren't trying to sell you something. Go on there and listen to people who own a specific motor you are interested in... BUT DON'T LISTEN TO WHAT ANYONE SAYS WHO IS TRYING TO SELL YOU SOMETHING! I know that sounds strange coming from a Manufacturer, but I really get your frustrations. This sport could be so much more amazing than it already is if people would just get along and keep their ego out of the situation. Also, be very careful of people requiring that you spend $10,000 on something before they will even train you. Go with a large facility that will let you try things out before you purchase. I'd be happy to talk to you more. Sounds like we see things very similarly. Give our office a call and let them know that you want my phone number... I'm not going to post it here lol. Hope to hear from you!

BLUE SKIES MY FRIEND =)
I recently got addicted to watching paramotor videos and decided my life requires one.. :) I'm 27 and about 170 lbs, interested in foot launch and in traveling some good distances per flight. What's the best recommendation?
+david fuchser Welcome to your greatest adventure David! This sport will exceed your expectations in every way. This is a very "weight-sensitive" sport in deciding what equipment to purchase. When you have a spare moment, please call our office. We can answer all your questions and send you a customized recommendation for equipment. (209) 786-7899
Good job, you sold me.
You guys should make an updated buyers guide video 😊
Love the information, you explained quite a bit to my wife and I. Very informative piece. I also shared your video on my facebook page.
So glad it helped Rick! Contact our office when you have a moment so we can answer your questions about the sport and take care of you for sharing the post =)

Are used to live in Black Hawk Colorado God I miss the scenery
5.10 185lbs just retired from the military. Prefer a foot launch to train on. I ready to purchase.
Hi Ronald! We actually offer discounts to Military Veterans! Make sure to mention that when you talk to our office. I'd recommend checking out the BlackHawk 125 if you are going to stay with foot-launch forever, or the AirMax 220 if you want the capability to add wheels or carry additional payload with you. Below are links to both motors. When you have time, please give our office a call. We can put together some complete price quotes and answer any questions you have about this amazing experience. Hope you had a great weekend!

Nice job and very informative. I really dig the Revolver Quad. Need to save some pennies but that looks like a sweet ride!
The Revolver has CrAzY power!!! You might actually not need that much. Less is more in this sport, and we will never sell you something you don't absolutely need. When you have some spare time, give us a call. We'd he happy to answer any questions you may have or put together a customized price quote to suit your needs. Blue skies Dusty!

I agree with the kiting but I don't feel like enough places teach it like they should.
Consistency is so important to ensure everything is covered during a training session. We strictly follow the USPPA's syllabus to make sure each student gets the same information. It works really well for us. Thanks for taking the time to comment! Stop by the channel anytime and let us know if you have any questions AJ =)

You've to wicked my interest. I've always wanted to fly like a bird. Studied powered Hang Gliders years ago, but never got one. Missed you guys at EAA this year. Just got back. Bob from Western PA.
Lots of good information here, and everybody likes T-shirts... Definitely shared.
Mike and Heidi, Thanks for the information, Hope to see you later this summer at OSH 2015. Shared on FB
Awesome video. Very helpful information. Learned a lot. Thanks
foot launch seems so much more fun
Damn, y'all give some nice extras when purchasing a PM package. OK, are the two of you related?
+Channing Burton Lol - thanks for the comment Channing! Mike and Heidi have been a couple for many years now... What a cool thing to do with your partner! We really do have some great deals. Being a domestic Manufacturer helps a lot... No import or Dealer fees ;)
Give us a call sometime so we can answer any questions you have about this amazing sport, or send you some gear recommendations to help you research further into it: 209-786-7899.

+BlackHawk Paramotor Hi Channing! I got your last comment. It would be great to have you come out and see the Ranch in California. We have some amazing places to explore here. We have a big event coming up in April - it happens every year. If you can make it, We'd love to have you. As far as the Flat Top goes, I personally used to work for Flat Top and would be happy to talk to you about my experiences with them. There are a lot of reasons why I chose to represent a different company. If you just Google Dell Schanze and Flat Top, you will see many of those reasons in Dell's arrest reports. We have great gear and amazing people here. If Flat Top is the only company you have experience with, it will be a breath of fresh air when you meet our people or try a BlackHawk motor. Give us a call and leave your info... Mention that you are looking to talk to me and I'll call you back. Hope you have a GREAT week and blue skies!

Rob, had the opportunity to speak with Mike this afternoon. Very good conversation, and we discussed the 44 HP Trike that is due to come out soon. I'm hoping to meet you and Mike in April at the Fly In.
Thanks for getting back to me...have a blessed week. Cheers to you all.
+Channing Burton Absolutely! Feel free to call any of us, at anytime! We're always here to help a fellow Pilot, or a Pilot-to-be! =)
If you have any more questions or would like us to send you a customized quote for anything, just let us know. Blue skies!

You should have shown other brands of motors but I guess that would "fuel the ego fire" with some people.
I am 37 years old and I weigh roughly 330lbs but a lot of it is muscle mass but I really want to fly a foot launch para fly so is there a canopy and paramotor that will accommodate my weight safely I mean support the weight??
Absolutely Jason!!! We have motors that can handle two of you ;)
When you have a moment, give our office a call! We can put together a list of recommended gear and email it to you to help with researching your options. Thanks for commenting on our channel!

I am 62 yrs young weigh 150 lbs in good shape and live at 8000 ft in the northern Rockies Estes Park CO. What you recommend for me. The shorter takeoff the better. I am also an instrument rated pilot working on my glider rating.
Hi David! I don't know how your comment was missed so I'm sorry for the late response. Welcome to the sport of Powered Paragliding! We have many Pilots who live in Colorado. There's some amazing places to fly there! At your weight, the 125 would work, but I'd suggest a motor with just a little bit more power for that elevation... Our Talon or AirMax are fantastic motors for Pilots at higher elevations and they are only a few lbs heavier than the 125. It's also important that your Instructor goes over making small adjustments to the motor for flying at 8000+ ft, so make sure to mention that to whomever teaches you how to fly. Let's chat... We're happy to answer your questions and help point you in the right direction. Give our office a call when you have some free time =)

So I’m 34 years old I weigh 265/270 and not a chewed piece of bubble gum by no means so basically being a bigger guy I can’t foot launch I have to have a trike?
when will you guys introduce the 'double seated ' paramotor! it would be more fun.
We have 2-seat Quads and 2-passenger Foot-Launch Paramotors. It depends on the laws where you live, but many people fly tandem (together).

! have a similar question as AppCarpenter. Being a former windsurfer and a sailor not a powerboater, there's appeal to paragliding. But I don't live near mountains or other PG flying sites. So I'm considering PPG. Your answer was the first I've seen saying learn PPG first; most say learn PG to know how to control a sail and add the noisy, stinky thing later. PPG first, really?
VARocketry Thanks for the comment! The argument can go either way... There are many different thoughts on this topic. It really comes down to what YOU want to do as a pilot... Are you going to fly more PG than PPG? Does funding prevent you from doing both? They are both so similar, it depends on your goals as a Pilot... In our experience, it's easier to learn PPG than PG due to less uncontrollable factors (the wind / location). If you start out with something that is easier to learn, and provides you a LOT more opportunities to fly (not just depending on the wind at a PG site), and you can always build on those skills later by transitioning into PG. Hope that helps. Feel free to give us a call and talk to one of our Instructors. (209) 786-7899
I'm excited to see the next video in this series. Will it go over wings?

Looked at the website these are more pricy then what I am finding elsewhere is there a reason they seem to have similar structure and motors. Not sure if these guys are for me but I am considering it as they seem legit and more concerned about a happy customer.
Hi Brandon! Our prices INCLUDE the Paraglider, and many accessories like a wind sock, oil mixing bottle, prop covers, tool kit, glider line repair kit, and more. Most other companies do not include the Paraglider - much less the additional accessories. When you are looking at prices online, make sure to see if they come with the Paraglider. Most gliders cost around $3000 and up - which are included in our prices. This is most often NOT included in other prices out there. I hope that helps and let us know if you have any more questions. We're always here to help, and you are right... We are VERY concerned about customer service and quality of our equipment.

I'm no pilot that being said I'd rather have the power and be able to climb then be doing something stupid down close to the ground and get myself into trouble because I don't have the powers that climb I've seen UA-cam videos of people making these mistakes and crashing because they just didn't have enough power to climb out and because they were showing off flying close to the ground all the sudden you come across obstacle you didn't know was there where you get yourself in a situation where you need to climb
I have this dream as well. I will fly someday soon...

You might know about it, but you didn't touch on probably to greatest benefit to owning a 2 seat PPC/quad.
As long as it falls under any of the LSA parameters, is a certified airframe with an "N" number, all of the hours will count towards either commercial or ATP hour requirements.
Commercial requires 250 hours, but only 50 have to be in a powered airplane. With 87 octane under 2 bucks, and a 3 gph fuel burn, that's only $1200 for the other 200 hours. Avgas is 5 bucks, a Cessna 172 burns 8.5 gph. Thats $42.50 an hour. $8500 for 200 hours. You can fly for 1400 hours for the same amount with a PPC. Now we are talking commercial transport pilot hours for under $10k in fuel.
That's great information! Thanks for taking the time to share it with the community. As long as people are flying ANYTHING, we're so happy about that. Flight is truly life-altering as you know =). Happy New Year from all of us at Team BlackHawk!

So as an airline employee, my first thought goes to how portable the motors are. Have you had experience checking them as luggage on a commercial airline?
Absolutely! Our Team Pilots have taken their units all over the world. It really is amazing to take your "personal aircraft" with you in a suitcase wherever you go =)

Sure, you can, but it will cost you. One of the worst things about airline tickets are the cost of checked baggage. Oversized can get pretty expensive. Just keep that in mind and check the airline baggage rules. Also for something the size of a paramotor you really need to personally contact them before buying the ticket and get the information first hand.
Light it up chick, pretty exciting, can't wait

Brilliant video thank u 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
My old 313 is still going. My Wife said that damn thing will outlive me! Wish you made car engines too wink wink.
looks good!!! I purchased a green eagle to my loss......1st of all green eagle is the best ppg in the business....however I did not get what I ordered....it was missing the tundra tires, foot steering, and custom wing.....I was told live with it.....you don't need those things......I am a disabled combat vet with one arm......has anyone ever flown a ppg with one arm.....not very feasible.....I paid $14,700 for a useless machine.....you pay up front...no refunds.......when I inquired if he was going to fix the trike......I was called several anti-semetic remarks......and disrespected me by laughing/making fun of my military disability......and he a former army sf ranger......avoid green eagle...you'll be glad you did.....
We are so sorry Nathaniel! We hear stories like this all the time, and people like that don't belong in such an amazing sport. Our customer service will ALWAYS exceed your expectations. I worked for another Manufacturer for a couple of years before I came here and it was a total circus. I would cringe listening to the owner on the phone - lying to customers - just knowing that it would cause a disaster later. I hope you get your chance to fly after all of that. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help turn this situation around for you... Don't ever lose your dream of flying. It's too amazing =)

Hey guys I'm ready to buy learn and fly, I have an rv so I can stay as long as it takes. My question for you is what's the best time of year to come out,summers can get hot out there but I'm willing to sweat to learn the sport....Thanks ...oh almost forgot Dell Schanze sent me here for the best products.
Dell sent you lol. I worked for him for two years as his Marketing Director. VERY glad to be somewhere else. I highly recommend training inland. I learned on the coast - where there is "perfect smooth winds" all day long and it gave me a false sense of security in my ability to fly. Most people fly inland where the winds are constantly changing. The more of a challenge, the more you will learn. I had to pay for lessons twice which wasn't the plan. The weather is starting to get really nice in California... I'd recommend April or spring time, or in the fall. Summer can get quite hot, and winters here can be cold. We also have Training Centers all over the US, so let us know where you live and we can possibly save you some time & resources by not having to go very far. When you contact our office, let us know your age, weight, and elevation where you live so we can put together a customized price quote for equipment that suits your needs =)

Hello,
My weight is 85 kilogram, age 37
I want to have a paramotor for joyride, which may go high more than a kilometer, robust enough, electronic start( if possible), including Parachute, harness, emergency parachute. ( Trike or quad is not nedded. )
1. Can you suggest a paramotor for me?
2. What will be the total cost?
3. Can I get the stuff in India anyhow?
4. If yes how can I get after sell service?
5. Will you send parts if any required later on?
Pls bear the pain to answer the above..
Thanks and regards.
Hi Manoranjan! Thanks for the comment and welcome to the sport of Powered Paragliding! I'd recommend looking into our AirMax 220, or Talon 190 Paramotor with an electric start. Below is a link to those motors on our website. As far as cost goes, we just need to calculate the shipping to where you live. When you have time, can you please contact our office and our Sales Director Heidi Lee will put together a customized price quote for shipping to India. We have many customers in India, so it's no problem! As a rough estimate, you will probably be looking at around $9000 for everything needed to fly. It could be more, and it could be less... It depends on what you need and the shipping costs. Hope to hear from you soon!
