    Many thanks to Mike for my training. originally trained in 2018 getting my first flights before moving on to flying with friends before returning in 2021 for some further training and allowing me to build more confidence and gain further skills. Always made to feel welcome when I return to the field (distance means I don't do this enough) and both Mike and Martin are always happy to help even after training.

    Chilly is a top bloke and I’ve been really happy with his training style. In my experience he takes you on at a pace to suit you, giving you the direct instruction you need on the essentials, the space to learn properly yourself, and the right support & guidance to give you the confidence when it’s time for that unforgettable first flight. Chilly comes with a strong reputation and for good reason, his passion for the sport really does shine through. Thoroughly recommended.

    If you are looking for a knowledgeable coach who will take you from a complete novice to competent paramotor pilot, look no further. Mike is passionate about the sport and takes his time to explain all the pros (and cons) of this exhilarating sport. Even when you are solo, the support and advice never stops. Completely recommended if you are thinking of starting in this sport.

    I trained with Mike last year and upon meeting him, it is immediately obvious how passionate he is about the sport and how much experience he has. He always makes sure that his students are prepared before moving them onto the next step in the training. He is always helping out other pilots where he can, he is so knowledgeable and a great instructor. When studying for my theory test, he broke the test down into simple segments. His communication is absolutely great, prior to booking a training session, and also before any paramotoring activity. A great guy with a great personality and exceptional teaching skills.

    Mike (chilly) taught me to fly Paramotor in 2018. Mike is calm, patient and clearly knows his stuff Any momentary silence is filled with more Paramotor knowledge and advice. It's satisfying and relieving to see him churn out competent Paramotor pilots with good airmanship and attitude to the sport and other pilots. Thank you for getting me addicted. Highly recommended. You will be in safe hands with good gear too. Thanks for everything. Chris.

    I like to say a huge thank you to Mike Chilvers for providing a great environment and teaching methods. Mike is very reassuring which inspires confidence and helped a lot. I was a complete novice and in a very short time I was in the air enjoying a fantastic new sport. I would highly recommend this club and instructor.

    Mike (Chilly) at UFly4Fun is one of the most helpful and extremely experienced instructors in the sport of paramotoring. He has always been there both while training and after leaving the nest to answer any questions however silly they are. The school is first class and I can’t find a bad thing to say about either the school or the staff. Highly recommended 👍🏻
