How To Make A Paramotor Map Board | (Ep 2) CP Road To The British Open Paramotor Championships

In this video we're looking at how to make a paramotor map board. A map board has become a standard piece of equipment for classic paramotor competitions. It enables you to attach an A3 size map to the board, plot your route and have it in front of you during flight. The map board itself is able to rotate so you can navigate using a "route up" technique. They are very simple to make yet very effective.
If you have any questions or comments about how to make a paramotor map board then please leave them in the comments section below and I'll try and answer anything I can. Good luck with making your own map board!

This is the second video of a new mini series I'll be publishing on how I prepped my equipment for the British Open Paramotor Championships 2020. We started with how to side mount your reserve, now we're building a map board, next we'll test fly everything and finish up with efficiency & speed data collection.

Great video. I did not know what a map board was until I saw this video. As a result I can thank you for adding to my knowledge base. Nice craftsmanship and very ingenious and the best thing is it can double as a pizza tray once the flight is over. 💋💋💋

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

I'm glad to be of service :) It's kind of like an office in the sky although I like your idea of a pizza tray much better!

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

Love all the little details. I really think these videos will help remove the mystique and fear of the comps.

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

Thanks Giles, Let's hope so! I definitely think the perceived skill level to join in is far under what people expect it to be.

[@GregAnthonyHarris]

Also doubles as ultimate frisbee meets Quidditch!

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

Fun in all weather conditions 😂

[@justharryjohnson7250]

I might just have to build one of these to allow for a trilogy box meal in flight lol

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

It’s literally an office in the sky, I feel a funny video idea is coming 😂

[@chrsfrwll]

Oh wow, congratulations. This video only got featured in Cross Country Magazine In the Core mailshot

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

Haha, no way! That’s awesome, would love a screen shot sent my way for the memories 😁
