Thanks Pete

Yes 80-90 kg is with engine, cage and harness.

Thats not too bad then.

Lets hope so, I ll post pict when quad is ready.

Thanks Pete

So even with the trike of around 80kg-90kg my weight is 80kg+ passenger will be 70-90kg, will be the same engine good as foot launch?

Which wing would you suggest for me?

I would get a large non reflex tandem wing and dont use small wheels on the quad.

80-90 kilo trike/quad. is that with the engine

Yes 80-90 kg is with engine, cage and harness.

I have to ask...

Are you UK based, if so, are you aware of the law regarding tandem trikes / quads?

SW

simonW no I am India based pilot, there is no rule for paramotoring till date. Its not considered as aircraft and hence no regulations on taking tandems.

Are you building the trike out of cast iron?

Hahah No spigot, A friend of mine who is in fabrication business is building one for me, He told quad design is better than trike and with suspension the estimate was around 70-80 kg.

How good is simonini evo2 as a tandem trike engine? Company claims that it is built for the same purpose.

But general survey on you tube and other web sites shows ppl use quite heavy motors for tandem trke like Rotax 503 oy Hirth.

The simonini has not specified the the weight range it is built for and climb rate.

If reflex wings like paramenia taxi requires more powerful motors which are the good tandem wings to be used with less powerful engines?

Hey

You think the prob with Revo 2 has been sorted, and the the wing is good for beginner level ppg, I am doing free flying for a year now 17 hrs actually.

I am planning to buy Revo 2.

jaydev, I would recommend you to post the same question on paraglidingforum.com it's a very large forum and you can get answers from people that live in similar condition. It's a free flight forum but it doesn't really matter for this kind of question.

The top and bottom surfaces are made from Porsha-Marine NCV, 44gm, and

37gm respectively on the revolution.

My first glider was an ozone vibe, that one uses gelvenor as well and indeed it was very durable. In the end it was more likely that the lines needed replacement.

I don't own a revolution but have had the paramania fusion for 3 years. It has kept better than the vibe did but I have treated it more gently as well.

The most important thing is to treat the glider well, don't leave in a hot car longer than necessary, never keep it wet and don't expose it to unnecessary UV light and so on. No matter what glider you buy.

There are plenty of places around the world that have tough conditions for gliders, so If I were you I would post the question on paraglidingforum see what the response would be.

Hi

I have posted, waiting for response.

Thanks.

Not sure what material is used for the Revo2 but, the Apco Thrust and all Apco gliders are indeed made from a different material that most other manufacturers do not use, it has more silicon in it (you can feel the difference) this material should last longer, I often hear off very old Apco wings (10-15 years) still being non porous. This may be even more relevant in dusty conditions where surfaces are subjected to a lot of wear. The material that Apco use is not thicker it is thinner, but is is heavier (42 g/m2) because of the extra silicon, which means it is more likely to stretch.

You could look at The Apco Force if you want a glider that is made from this material that also has reflex performance.

Hi,

Apco force is very high rated glider for me. its EN-C rated glider. Defiantly not for beginner level pilot.

Thanks

Hello,

I am doing paragliding for a last few months and have completed 17 hrs, now i want to learn para motoring,

I was wondering weather to buy Apco thrst 3 or Revo 2.

Only one school in India which teaches para motoring uses Apco thrust as they claim its more durable in tropical conditions and comes with 3 year warranty where as Revo has thin wing material developed for European conditions.

Performance wise Revo 2 is very superior but i am concern about maintenance.

There are not any pilots in India who is using other wings than Apco. So any guidance is very appreciated.

Thanks.
