Reviews
"A long-awaited book is now available to those with an interest in footlaunch flying - Noel Whittall's Paramotoring From the Ground Up. Noel has built on the foundations laid by his previous, enormously successful book on paragliding, to bring us a realistic overview of paramotoring. . . It provides a perfect introduction to the sport for those thinking of taking it up, or anybody extending the capabilities of an existing paragliding rig.
Pilots who are already engaged in flying paramotors will also find lots of valuable information within - all of it backed up by extensive illustrations and up-to-date photographs." - FLYER MAGAZINE
