Hi Loggy,
I fly microlights and all I can say is, go and have a good look at paramotors first! Watching them take off is a real eye-opener! :nut:. I don't think you need a licence so there's an advantage, probably better off buying a good second-hand wing, a chap I know who used to do paramotoring said he's often known people to buy cheap, brand new wings and they're rubbish. Even then it's still fairly expensive :-)
