I recently finished up training at Wichita Paramotor and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, Leo, the owner and instructor, did a fantastic job communicating and keeping everyone up-to-date on the training plan and any changes in weather. His clear and consistent communication made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.

One of the standout aspects of Leo’s instruction was his unwavering attention to safety. We practiced the plan for our first flight over and over again, and I felt completely confident and prepared when the time came. Leo’s dedication to ensuring that every student understood the concepts thoroughly was evident, and he always made time to answer any questions or go over concepts again for clarity.

My first flight on August 8th was truly a life-changing experience. The sense of freedom and exhilaration I felt in the air was unparalleled!! The camaraderie among the students was another highlight of the course. There were two other guys in the class and we spent a lot of time together from safety training and ground school to practicing controlling the wing with a kiting harness. By the end, we had formed a strong bond.

August in Kansas can get hot, but Leo made sure there were plenty of cold drinks and an airconditioned place we could cool off.

Overall, Wichita Paragliding and Leo provided an exceptional experience. Leo’s expertise, attention to safety, and genuine care for his students made all the difference. If you’re considering powered paragliding, I wholeheartedly recommend Leo’s school. You won’t be disappointed!

I trained with Leo with Wichita Paramotor this past week, starting my new adventure training to become a Paramotor Pilot! Leo is a certified USPPA Instructor teaching entry level PPG 1 through advanced PPG ratings. Leo offers professional PPG sales and support for major PPG brands and has a full lineup of up to-date PPG equipment for students to train on and a simulator to help students learn and develop their skills and knowledge on the way to becoming a PGG pilot.

I was able to complete ground-school training requirements and complete my first amazing solo-flight! Such an amazing experience! Leo’s knowledge and experience in flying Paramotors and training provides students with a comfortable learning, mentoring environment as new equipment, knowledge and skills are introduced, practiced and strengthened. The simulator training gives students a great opportunity to practice skills developing muscle and mental memory skills building confidence for the first solo-flight.

Leo is a friendly and knowledgeable instructor. Safety is stressed heavily during his lessons. I have been very impressed with the community that has been build from power-motorist.

Leo provided excellent paraglider ground training before i moved on to trike training from Ben. Leo can be demanding and meticulous, but that's exactly what you need in a sport that can be dangerous if you become lax in your training and preparation. Leo provides plenty of encouragement and positive reinforcement. Also has a good sense of humor.

Leo with Wichita paramotor is a scam artist, He will tell you lies to get your money and than talk down to you. Me and a buddy signed up for his classes and was promised that we would fly in 10 days. He told us that he had training equipment for us to use and that we could use his stuff while we trained. We signed up, gave him our money, and he let us use his stuff one time then he told us we needed to order our own gear which cost thousands of dollars so that we could fly on which we did but then it took over 30 days to come in, there is no possible way you could finish his training in 10 days. He yelled at his employee constantly. He let his wife join the training class in the middle of our class, taking the only equipment that he had in letting her use it so the students had to trade back-and-forth between one wing that was un flyable, If you ask him any questions, he will make you feel stupid for asking them when we had a disagreement with him or questioned him on something he immediately kicked us out of the class and told us our training was over and kept our money , we did seven days of ground school and three days of fighting. Never touched a motor in our out thousands of dollars. Do your research and do not train with Wichita Paramotor. Leo is all talk he has no certifications in very few flight hours. He is going to get somebody seriously hurt or killed.

Having an instructor to get me in the air is great. Having an instructor for my whole first year at no extra cost is better! Having the instructor and community for the rest of my life is best!
