Mate, its nice n warm where you are and I could just fly back Anyways later in the year when I'm at the business end I'll give you a tingle. cheers Dan.

Thanks guys that's great. I think your right Mark, I don't need to break it all down. In my research I was trying to justify the weight of an electric start so that led me down the weight consideration path. I'm going to a fly-in later this year so may learn a little more. I'm here in Oz so otherwise I would gladly come and visit you for a looksee Mark. There are Parajet agents here and I'm not sure with baileys anymore since the guy listed has left us... Anyway thanks again guys. cheers Dan.

Maybe someone can clear the mist? Parajet have updated their specifications table - it shows the Zenith Bailey V5 at 30kg, not 27.5kg as previously listed. This leads me to ask - whats the all up takeoff weight (no fuel) of the baileys then? Because if it's 27.5kg (which the bailey WEBsite states?) then that zenith aint no light frame. Does the zenith chassis have some extra parts particularly with the Bailey motor? Someone mentioned the fuel tank had a slight different location with the Bailey. Or am I missing something... I think Morgy had been asked in another thread to weigh em up? cheers Dan. ps.. I'm no expert here - just looking to buy my first. pss.. I do know that Bailey don't do the lighter titanium exhaust anymore - if that matters?
