looks like a lot of fun but do you need a lot of wind to stay up or a powerfull paramotor?

Once you are in the air then neither really, just getting cleanly off is the hard bit. Obviously I could only take off with the aid of a slope therefore.

My motor is an old Rad MXL, bit of a moped by paramotor standards. Don't suppose you've still got your Bailey four stroke Gary? That would go much better on such a small wing.
