The Paramania Team is made of the world's best Paramotor pilots consisting of world record breakers, Paramotor Champions and top display pilots. Together they contribute to perfect and help Michael design the finest Powergliders on the market. Some of the Paramania Team also fly other aircrafts enabling them to link ideas to Michael’s exclusive Reflex wing design philosophies and help to further push the boundaries of Ram air wing innovations!

Sylvain Moisseron - Is one of the world's top paraglider and paramotor pilots, he was part of the succes of the French team & runs SIV and manoeuvring clinics in Annecy. Having worked in certification for both Andre Rose (AFNOR) and Alain Zoller (EN) Syvain is an important part of our test team making sure the prototypes are ready for certification. He is also helping us to prepare a new test system more specific to flight with a paramotor.
Dean Eldridge - Won the first Nav/speed task of the world paramotor championships with the pure speed of his Fusion. It was Dean’s first major competition, and to have finished in the top 10 just shows what a talented pilot he is, we look forward to watching Dean’s future performance in international competition!
Emilia Plak – Top polish pilot, one of the first female pilots to enter competition in the world! Emilia is currently the world's top female paramotor pilot, prooving better then the majority of world class male ppg pilots in competition (with her recent victory in the World Championships 2009 in Czech, 4th overall scores & 1st in the pf1 female class!). Emilia is also in charge of Paramania in Poland.

Eric Dufour - Here is a guy who can honestly say he was already flying his own paramotors when others were just starting to discover what it was all about with converted lawn mowers and parachutes! He is the most experianced paramotor instructor and pilots in the US and Canada and is mostly responsible for brining paramotoring to the US, most of his old students have either left to become great pilots or set up other paramotor businesses and schools.
Eric and his talented wife Elisabeth help run Paramania USA and own a school and repair shop in Florida.
