Frequently Asked Questions
How much do beginner Paragliders cost?
How much do beginner Paragliders cost?
In the UK, a basic, beginner, non reflex Paraglider, such as the BGD Magic Motor, costs £3,000 inc VAT. A beginner/intermediate semi reflex wing, such as an Ozone Roadster 3, costs approximately £3,500 inc VAT.
What is the safest Paraglider?
What is the safest Paraglider?
There is no single safest Paraglider on the market. However, there are some Paragliders that are more suitable for beginners and intermediates. At SkySchool, we use the BGD Magic Motor, which is a very easy glider to launch, fly and land. After training most qualified Pilots buy either the BGD Magic Motor, which is a non reflex wing, or the semi reflex Ozone Roadster 3, which is a faster and more dynamic glider. With its shark nose profile it is very easy to launch, even in nil wind, and the semi reflex system allows for a good speed range while making it very solid in flight.
What is the safest Paramotor?
What is the safest Paramotor?
There is no single safest Paramotor on the market as all Paramotors are inherently unsafe when handled incorrectly due to the spinning propeller. However, some Paramotors, such as the Parajet Maverick, are safer than others due to their light but robust titanium frame. The key thing to remember is to never ever start the Paramotor on the ground and instead always start it on your back, as 70% of accidents take place when running the Paramotor on the ground.
Why are Paramotors so expensive?
Why are Paramotors so expensive?
Paramotoring is still in its infancy as a sport with only a few thousand Pilots flying them in the UK, which means there is not a mass market for the sport. Also a lot of money is spent on developing the correct engines, component parts, wings and accessories, with the majority of the money put back into R&D.

You do not need to buy equipment before coming on a SkySchool Course. We provide all equipment as part of the course fee. This allows us to open up this fantastic sport to more people as opposed to only those who can afford to buy equipment first. It also allows people to 'Fly before they Buy'!
