"This book seems to suggest that if you can Paraglide, can cope with the 20-30kg of a paramotor on your back, you can fly a Powered Paraglider, without too much difficulty, having had appropriate training. The book gives instruction on good practice and best technique for handling and flying with a paramotor, regulations on air law, weather etc. I particularly liked the takeoff and landing commentaries and accompaning photographs, which I still read/look at and seem to get more and more from each time. I bought Touching Cloudbase and this book at the same time, however I need not have. Parmotoring covers all the prerequisite Paragliding skills in this one book, including paraglider dynamics, history and weather, basic flying. In essence if you have already done a certain amount of free flight paragliding, and have a free flight book, you will find half of this book a recap on what you already know/read. The Paramotoring aspects will probably be new, however, and help a lot with what to expect from formal PM training and beyond. If you are a prospective pilot who is considering taking up the sport, this book is a good choice with lots of pictures and will likely get you well on the way to being bitten by the flying bug. The book certainly left me wanting a lot more! ."
