Check a wing size
Wing makers list a weight range for each size. The weight that counts is your all-up takeoff weight: you, plus your paramotor (or trike), fuel and gear. It’s best to pick a wing where your takeoff weight sits in the upper half of the range, with the sweet spot at 75–85%. For example, an Ozone Roadster 3 size 26 has a range of 80–140 kg, so anything from 110 kg up is acceptable and the sweet spot is 125–131 kg. From 85% up, use some caution: the wing gets faster and more demanding near the top of its range.
Fuel and gear are typical amounts; change any number to match yours. Don’t know your paramotor’s weight? Most are 50–75 lb dry.

If you fall on the border of two sizes, talk to your instructor, who can make an honest assessment of your skills and help you choose. This is a general guide using each maker’s published powered (PPG) range: experience, launch style and where you fly all matter. Call or text 480-788-0351 or send us a message.
