Getting Started

Full rigs can start at $10k retail. You need the paramotor and parachute. Depending on the weather conditions, having gloves and layers of clothing might be needed. The constant wind during flight, plus the elevation of altitude, you can get cold during flights.

Training averages around $2.5k. Some training you'll have a 15 flights due in 60 days before you are considered ready for flight. With the training, some trainers let you use their equipment to learn on.
