Our Equipment or Yours?

If you wish to purchase your paramotoring equipment through Mahony Aviation's Paramotoring Best Deal Scheme then you can train on our school equipment for FREE – subject to you providing a Paypal or cash deposit and signing a proforma at the beginning of your training / flying stating that you agree to pay for any damage to any equipment that you are responsible for whilst training / flying and belonging to Mahony Aviation.

If you do not wish to purchase your flying equipment through Mahony Aviation or you have already purchased it elsewhere, it will be necessary to use the school’s equipment (wing, paramotor, reserve parachute & fuel) for the duration of your training course at a cost of £200.

We use two different kinds of paramotor in our training; first, we have a fleet of the latest Miniplane 2-Stroke Paramotors featuring mid-level swinging-arm hangpoints for greater stability and weightshift facilitation.

These machines weigh just 19 kgs (empty) and are ideally suited to pilots who worry about the weight of their machine - especially if they are carrying an injury, weakness or are simply not built like Arnie!

Second, we are proud to have a fleet of the best paramotors that money can buy – 4-stroke paramotors from Bailey Aviation. For the true connoisseur of precision engineering, build quality, aesthetic looks and trouble-free performance, these are the machines to have!

We couple these machines with the latest Ozone and Dudek Paramotor wings which are perfectly suitable for both the beginner and sport pilot alike.

We believe that you should wait until after your course before you decide to purchase your machine and wing as you will make a much better and more informed choice after talking with your Instructors. In fact, we often have to tell pilots who buy their equipment first, that the equipment they have bought is either unsuitable, the wrong size or dangerous.

Although you can still use most Paragliding-specific wings with a Paramotor, you should ensure that they have the manufacturers endorsement as suitable for use under power and that the combined weight of the pilot, wing and power unit should be within the placarded weight ranges.

At Mahony Aviation, we have a range of Paramotor-specific wings that are both stable and fast under power but which will also free-fly very well.

PLEASE NOTE:

You should be aware that our Instructors at Mahony Aviation will do everything possible to minimise risk during your training, which includes injury to yourself and damage to our equipment. However these risks can not be negated completely and students / pilots alike who train / fly with us are strongly advised to take out Personal Accident Insurance to cover the risks - not forgetting to inform their insurers of the activity being undertaken.

Furthermore, students / pilots will be asked to provide a Paypal or cash deposit and sign a proforma at the beginning of their training / flying stating that they agree to pay for any damage to any equipment that they are responsible for whilst training / flying and belonging to Mahony Aviation.

4-Stroke Paramotors

We are proud to be a Dealer for the Bailey Aviation range of 4-stroke Paramotors.

British-based Bailey Aviation has been producing what many people believe are the best designed and constructed paramotors in the world. Bailey Aviation turned their attention to the 4-stroke engine and they are now producers of 4-stroke engined Paramotors in the world.

Take it from us that when you have flown a Bailey 4-stroke machine, it is unlikely that you will ever want to go back to your smelly, noisy, oily two-stroke days! If you would like to test fly a Bailey 4-stroke and you hold a BHPA or BMAA SPHG ticket, we can arrange a test demo for you before you buy! Please contact us for details.
