Fair comment Dave. Flat top is obviously very well made and surprisingly light given its size. It has a lot of torque steer that I guess you get used to managing. It is VERY powerful ! Been flying much - gonna be down weekend after next. Will bring my kit if it looks flyable

Hi Steve, Yep definitely up for some flying. Get my motor back end of next week.

Hi Nick, I have flown most motors out there. I agree with you on either the Miniplane or PAP. I fly a PAP ROS 125 and it is the most comfortable of all I have flown. I weigh 85kg and it has easily enough power. Another option is the TOP 80 with a 1400 prop - again has easily enough to get you up. I flew a miniplane over in portugal last week with Paul Mahoney - top 80 engine 1400 prop, simple, reliable and easily enough power for me. Another option is H & E R120 - VERY similar to ROS 125 or if you have more to spend a Bailey. 4k will get you a SWEET motor - just be careful who you buy from! In my opinion steer clear of the rest!

Haze, I'm in Banstead - fly often out of Barry's and recently around Carshalton with a friend called Gavin Beverley. He's found some good local sites to fly from. Give me a ring and we can arrange to meet up for a fly as a group. 07770 235256 Luke
