There are many options to consider when selecting a paraglider that is suitable for motoring. Airparamo can offer almost every brand of paraglider that is made today, and we have chosen to work with what we believe to be the finest wings available, both in terms of performance and price. Many of the paraglider manufacturers are now making specific wings for powered paragliding. They have features such as shorter risers, trimmers, brake length adjustments (so you can fly them with or without power), superior launch and landing characteristics, and a newer category of "reflex" wings offering speed and stability. A qualified instructor can assist with the decision of which type, level, and size of wing is appropriate for you. Please beware of buying a used glider from an ad or eBay. The criteria Airparamo uses to select great motoring paragliders is based on 5 areas for a beginner to intermediate paraglider. These are ranked in order of important characteristics to consider:
MacPara TechnologyOur most popular paragliders, the Muse 3 and Eden 4 are extremely well known and popular as among the very best motoring paragliders. All MacPara wings inflate superbly, predictably and quickly in little to no wind, making them a perfect match for motoring.

Buyer Beware!
There are companies that advertise and sell paragliders for beginners that are not independently tested and certified. It costs significantly less to manufacture a paraglider that has not been independently tested and certified. Your life is hanging on those lines. Saving money on the gear that holds your life is not worth the savings. Most instructors refuse to offer instruction to beginners on uncertified paragliders. Additionally, many flying sites refuse to let pilots fly with uncertified paragliders. Lastly, if you are considering resale value, uncertified paragliders may be difficult to sell since they hold little of their retail value. See this Safety Notice page for more information. |
