As you can imagine, there’s quite a difference between the Skycruiser and the Talon. Launching the Talon requires a hell of a lot less space. It’s like being strapped to the front of a bus – lots of thrust. I really don’t need this much thrust (I weigh 168lbs) but, I like having a motor that doesn’t have to work hard all the time like my MZ100 does. I flew for an hour last night. No wind at all – none, and I expected a difficult launch. But, this thing snatched my ass off the ground and I was gone. When it hits the power band, the thrust hammers you and I may have pissed myself just a little bit. So far, I think I like this thing. Later on, I might get a quad to attach it to. I’ve never flown a quad and would like to try it now that I have a paramotor with enough power. Well, thats my report on the Talon. Hope you’re getting some good air this year.

Thanks for the great experiences during your training program! I was thoroughly impressed with your patience and demeanor throughout the challenges and triumphs of training. I’ve always dreamed of flying (literally) and wanted to actually do it. The Paramotoring experience is the difference between riding in an airplane viewing the world, like watching a TV vs.. living the experience.
I represent the 36 year old male with 3 kids, wife, cat and home in the suburbs, so safety was a key factor in my decision. I chose to travel there from upstate New York to train under your supervision after extensive web & phone research. Among the factors in making my decision was your experience in training so many pilots from around the world, no other instructor came close to the numbers of people that you have trained. I hope to visit you training grounds again or be a part of a national “fly-in” event in the near future.
Thanks for the excellent training and great experience!
