Solutions to problems for paramotor pilots
Wings don't always inflate right, radios don't
always radio right and, lord knows, motors sometimes stop motoring. This
guide is intended to help. If you have suggestions that can make it
better, by all means send them along.
This is in its early stages and will grow in time. Contributions are
welcome, will be acknowledged, and will make this a more valuable resource
for all concerned.
