BIGT-81

I think that my plan will be to get trained up with UK ppg hopefully before parafest (I'm going) then ideally I'd like to be able to check out some of the equipment available.

Hi all My name is Tony I'm in Derbyshire I'm 37 and looking for some advice about someone of my size getting into the sport. 6 ft tall currently weighing 139kg or 22 stone (depending on your preferred method of measurement) and I am in need of advice as to what size of motor would be best and most reliable for me. I do know that my weight will drop over the next few months as I continue with my exercises and my normal body weight is approximately 15 to 16 stone which I should be able to achieve relatively easily now that I'm mobile again. Any help and recommendations well be greatly appreciated and don't worry I have got plans to take up proper training with a qualified bhpa instructor but I would like to get an overall view from the people who take part in the sport first. Ps. I would be very interested in hearing on what motor and wing setup Rob salt used when he first started as I am aware that he was also a larger pilot.
