I curious about safety and handling in higher winds (nothing crazy) of large paramotor trikes such as the Fresh Breeze Xcitor vs the compact foldable trikes that attached to a foot launch unit (e.g. Pap mini rolling trike or Nirvana Carbon cruiser). Is one more likely to roll on take-off/landing?  Do A-Riser-assists really provide a big advantage?

That's a quite a detailed analysis Fuzzy. Well done. Thanks

Thanks Vince. Very helpful info and will definitely head advice on the eProp.

I am considering options for a really lightweight weight kit. I had my eye on a Thor 80 (12.4kg) until I realized the EOS 100 Booster  weights in at 9.75kg). Any advantages of the Thor 80 over the EOS to justify a 3Kg increase in weight?

Thanks

Thank you Morgy. I did not consider the prop size equation of the thurst. Any idea what the total which of a MacFly 138 cage and Thor 80 engine combined? 

sorry typo - I meant total WEIGHT of the Macfly frame + Thor 80 engine.

I am beginner PPG pilot just finishing up my course. Currently training on a Parajet V3 with a TOP 80 engine. I still find the cage with engine rather heavy and bulky. Planning to purchase my own kit to suit my weight and height  (68kg weight and 165 cm height).  I am considering MacFly with Thor 80 engine - made of titanium they should be lighter than the V3 and also less bulky.  Interestingly the Macfly frame/cage comes in 3 diameters - 150cm, 138cm and 128cm, while the V3 is around 146cm.  A few questions

1. What would be the recommendation for the cage size? Is there any disadvantage of going with the smallest - 128 cm? 

2. Any recommendations on the size of wing? I am planning on the Roadster 2 but still debating size. 

Thanks
