Hi stefk,

Bit like yourself, im trying to get in to it. Your right about a albany they have limited places available in december and feb. these will take 9 days or more depending on weather. Once completed the paragliding course at a later date you can do the two day motor endorsement which allows you to fly supervised.

Bali has courses which can be validated in perth once complete and the east coast has courses.

There is talk of a paramotoring straight through course but i dont think that will happen anytime soon.

So far i have noticed the ppg guys are very freindly and keen to help newbies.
The hard part for me is getting the time of work to get the ticket.

Where are you based?

Yeh there seems to be a pretty regular small crew who launch in the clearing near Chippies Cafe at Jindalee so it'd be worth heading up this way if your NOR and having a chat. I see them flying a lot over the warmer months so you shouldnt struggle to find them

Hi everyone, thanks for your comments, greatly appreciated. I'm in Mt lawley so might take a punt one weekend and head up to Chippies / Jindalee. Any idea what time they normally launch?

Daylight, I have seen a few of these courses and was thinking about signing up, might be a good excuse for a trip over east, perfect excuse for the Qantas FF to get used up!

If you are planning to catch up with the guys sometime be great if you could let me know when... don't fancy spending my whole weekend sat in a park :)

Try contacting either Chippies or Burns Beach Caf?. They take of from those two spots so they may have a better idea..

I agree most afternoons they seem to get out. Nice clean days with little wind.
