What is your paramotor flying style? Paramotor Geometry, Part 1

Miroslav Svec, designer of SCOUT paramotors shares his knowledge about paramotor construction.

"If someone's first question about a paramotor is how much does it weight, I know this person has little knowledge about paramotors. While weight and power are the only measurable parameters of the paramotor, the geometry of the paramotor is way more important."

This is the first video of a full series.
We will cover every aspect of paramotor construction, the theory and reasoning behind. At the moment we have around 30 videos on the list. At the end of this, you will be able to make a qualified judgment what is the ultimate best paramotor for you.

The most important thing you need to know is what is or will be your flying style.
I would depict these categories:

cross-country cruisers
freestyle/slalom
acrobatics
thermalling with a paramotor

You need to know what is your flying style or what you think it could be in the future. Your style defines what is the ideal paramotor for you. For different purpose, different paramotors might be ideal. This is why you will see these categories in every video in our classroom.


Topics that will be covered in this classroom:
*Please, be aware that we are adding videos each week, so there can and will be changes to this list.
