  1. I am looking for a few opinions on paramotoring with a PG specific wing (e.g. Ozone Buzz Z3). I am only aware of a couple of differences between PG and PPG wings (non-reflex): 1) Lack of trimmers. I have been reading that for non-reflex wings it is safer to use the speed system and not the trimmers (because it can be released faster in case something goes wrong). 2) The lines (especially the ones connecting to the A risers) are usually thicker on paramotor wings. Am I missing anything else? For those of you that have flown with PG wings did the lack of trimmers was a problem? Thanks, Vassilis
  2. Thank you all! I think I will go with the 26m2, I am right at the middle of the EN range with my paramotor and might get a reasonable sink rate when playing around with the thermals.
  3. Thanks for the information! I am leaning towards to M size due to the improved sink rate, the reduced speed due to the lower wing loading is not as much of an issue to me since I can always speed-up the wing in reflex mode. I was told that the handling may also change with the lighter wing loading. Although I am not looking for a very sporty wing, I would like to get better handling than my 25m2 EN A wing. I do understand that in relfex mode the wing becomes less responsive, it is the low speed (neutral to low trims) mode I am mostly asking about. Has anybody flown two different sizes of the Revo? Will the size make a big difference in handling?
  4. I am still going through this (and past) threads on the Revo 2 and I would like some opinions on the wing size I should pick. First of all I should mention that I want to be able to use this wing with a free flight harness and also thermal with the motor off. Most of my flying will be with a motor but I would like to have options. I weigh 65kg and I am between 80kg - 85kg on a free flight harness and about 105kg - 110kg with my motor (incl. fuel). I fall in the range of both the Small and Medium sizes, I am thinking that the Medium might be a better choice since the wing will be more lightly loaded which is good for slow speed and low sink rates when thermalling/soaring and I always have the option to speed the wing-up in reflex mode. However I will be very close to the low end of the weight range for free flight. What do you think? Thanks! Vassilis
