Does anyone here have any practical experience of powered parachutes? I've
talked about having a go at these for years but, apart from looking at the
BHPA site, I don't know anything about them or where to go to learn - any
suggestions or info?

I fly unpowered "parachutes" - paragliders. What you are referring to are
"paramotors". Though I have contacts in the Dorset/Hampshire area who fly
paramotors. If you are in that area, I can put you in touch.
If you look at the BHPA web site, there is a section for paramotoring at
http://www.bhpa.co.uk/paramotor/index.php,
Training is essential if you are not to endanger yourself (and others)
You might also visit the Sports & Leisure Aviation show at the NEC
Birmingham Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd December 2006 and talk to some of the
people on the stands.
