Take-off on a paraglider can begin in three ways. First, it is some kind of ledge or hill. Paragliding can take off from a flat platform, but this requires considerable force headwind. The third method, which began to be used more recently is the use of an elastic spring, which pulls the winch. There are two types of winches. Some use a third-party mechanism, for example, a car. Another type of winch is self-contained when the engine is part of it.
The ideal option is to use at least two of the above methods at the same time. For example, choose windy weather and start driving to wind with some height. After the start, you can try to find the terms to achieve a given flight path.
In this it was possible to complete the description of this simple, on the one hand, and at the same time very exciting modern "fun." It remains a matter of small - to buy the same paraglider. However, this "pleasure" is by no means cheap. Perhaps, one of the decisions of Solomon will be the choice of buying a paraglider used in the past.
After completing the purchase, I strongly recommend that you check a new purchase with the participation of relevant experienced professionals.
