This weekend, our UK dealer, Warren Palmer, is set to make history with the largest paramotor formation flight ever attempted, crossing the English Channel. This ambitious event aims to establish a new Guinness World Record, marking the most extensive paramotor formation flight over the White Cliffs of Dover since World War II.

A dedicated team of pilots will launch from Calais, and fly in formation across the channel to Dover, England. The flight utilizes FTB propellers to assist in achieving optimal performance for the pilots. 

Warren and his team have secured special permission form the National Trust for the White Cliffs of Dover, allowing them to land on hte cliffs post-flight and engage with media and the public.
