after more research the "Maximum extended weight" is for flying with a motor. My "perfect" wing would be between a medium and and a large. The option is either take a medium and load it heavy or take the large and be light in it. From what I have gathered it is safer to load the wing heavy and the performance will be better also. ( once I get experience ) The sink rate will be a little greater, take off's in no wind maybe a bit longer.

I bought the motor and wing late this fall. I probably will not actually fly until spring. I have been doing some ground kiting and all is going well. ( I can keep it solidly overhead ) What I have found out is to get a "new design" wing preferably new to get the best results. One place was trying to push a Edel power Atlas which I found out is 1997 design wing and it would have been a huge mistake to purchase.

I have an e-mail sent to ITV and I'm waiting for a response and I am also going to call Aerolight ( dealer where wing was purchased ) Monday morning to see if they can help out. I just figured a few other opinions would help. Thanks

Is my total "in flight weight" suppose to be just under the "max in flight weight" rated for the wing or the "maximum extended weight"? What is the "maximum extended weight" for ? I'm thinking my actual in flight weight should be under but close to the "Max in flight weight" rating of the wing. Is this correct?

I am new to the sport and have not taken my first flight as of now. Just working on ground kiting the wing. I had an ultralight aircraft when I was younger and decided I wanted to return to the sky and picked a paramotor to do it with. I have an instructor that recommended equipment to buy. I think he ordered me the incorrect size wing for my weight. We had a handful of wings to choose from and after talking to Aerolight out of Florida, US I decided to try the ITV Boxer. My instructor asked my weight and ordered a size medium. I think that wing is going to be to small. I weigh 200 pounds ( 90.8 kg ) my paramotor with gas weighs 70 pounds ( 31.8 kg ) my reserve chute weighs 8 pounds ( 3.6 kg ) and I figure helmet clothes and extra another 10 pounds ( 4.5 kg ) total = flight weight 283 pounds ( 128.4 kg )

The ITV Boxer's spec's for a medium wing are Max in flight weight = 209 pounds ( 95 kg ) Max extended weight 286 pounds ( 130 kg )

The ITV Boxer's spec's for a large wing are Max in flight weight = 264 pounds ( 120 kg ) Max extended weight 330 pounds ( 150 kg )

Can someone give me their opinion on the CORRECT size wing that I should have? Thanks, Kurt
