Paramotoring is a risky sport, however it isn’t a dangerous sport. The training program is rather flexible
in most countries and the teaching methods are different from one training center to another.
The specific regulations in each country must be thoroughly studied before flying, that’s the reason why
the Macfly company isn’t responsible in case of accident due to misuse of the PPG and we really advise
you to follow the recommendations of this user manual.
1.1 Licence certificate and insurances
According to the countries and states, paramotoring must comply with specific regulations or not.
Passing a certificate or a licence specific to each country must be done before flying with your para-
motor.
Moreover, some countries require a compulsory insurance.
1.2 Identification/ registration
In some countries or states, the paramotor is considered as a means of transport, or even a vehicle, and
it requires an identification or a specific registration.
Get some information at your ministry or federation before flying with your paramotor
1.3 Wing connection
There are different types of wings more or less adapted to the practice of paramotoring.
Some haven’t been designed specifically for this sport but rather for paragliding.
Ask for the manufacturer’s advice before trying a non-validated assembly.
Check the compatibility with powered paragliding in the user manual.
We currently assemble 3 different engines on our frames and the same brand in order to keep a coher-
ence in our range.
POLINI Thor 130
POLINI Thor 200
POLINI Thor 250
