Q. I only have a few flights - can I come?
A. We want to make it clear that every experience level is welcome and we have no desire to make a lot of rules.
However, we expect it to be a very busy flight-line and pilots with less experience may at times find it very challenging and overwhelming.
While we don't have a minimum flight experience requirement, we do expect that, for safety, less experienced pilots limit their flight-line activities during busy times and coordinate all their activities with guidance from other, more experienced pilots. The community in this sport is very helpful and if you need assistance, let those around you know - you'll end up with a lot more friends than when you arrived!

Q: I want to become a sponsor, how do I do it?
A: Send us a message on the form below and we'll reach out to you.

Q: I want to run a cord to my tent from my friends camper to just charge up my phone, do I still have to pay the "Camping, Tent, W/Power" rate?
A: Yes

Q: There will be a lot of pilots attending and I'm concerned about flying with so many other pilots in the air at one time.
How do you handle the crowded field?
A: The field is huge and when there is a large number of pilots taking off or landing at the same time (generally mornings and evenings in good weather) there will be staff assisting and directing traffic.
If you still feel uncomfortable, contact one of the staff members and they will assist.
In the air, the same rules apply as for any area with a lot of aircraft; be extremely vigilant for ALL other aircraft, not just other paramotors.
The fly-in has a strong history of safety with no mid-air collisions, which reflects not only the improved training and procedures across the sport in recent years, but also the focus our pilots have on safety for themselves and others.
But if you still feel uncomfortable flying, there are a lot of other reasons for any paramotor pilot to come; meeting and socializing with other pilots, watching and learning from other pilots, visiting the many vendors and sponsors who will be showing and demoiing their newest products, and just the plain fun of being at such a huge gathering of like minded people.

Q: How can I reserve a camping spot/power pole?
A: Except for a limited number for the staff and sponsors, are unable to accept reservations for the power poles or specific parking areas. All camping spaces are first come, first served, with the exception of the staff and sponsor spaces.
Water and a dump station are available on the field, but we encourage everyone to bring a generator if you have one available.

Q: Do you need any volunteers?
A: If you'd like to volunteer, let us know at the registration table.
