godfrog 2 #1 March 1, 2009 Expensive? I just e-mailed a guy that has a paragliding school and he told me that a paragliding course would cost $1500, and that he likes to teach skydivers and pilots because we don't get scared as easily. I don't know but doesn't the price seem a little steep?Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire 0 #5 March 1, 2009 For that money, I'd ask him to break it down a lot more, otherwise you don't know what you're buying. Also, here is another web site where the question may be better answered..... http://www.paraglidingforum.com/ - CYA over there maybe. (.)Y(.)
