Thanks to all for your comments. Kind of already thought it was a long shot looking for a table or chart. As you all say to many veritables in the equation. My instructor has already stated what I will need (monster) and I will continue to learn. I may be looking for a simplistic approach to AUW and required thrust. Cheers.

Hi, Im still very new to the sport and definatly still learning. I've been looking at engine and one of the points I find interesting is how much thrust? Is there a table or rule of thumb that shows the required thrust to AUW? Or is there more to it. Any info mating or direction would be most appreciated. Cheers in advance. 

Hi Dave_sw, 

Not sure if you are still following your post, but thought I would add a point. I've signed up for training for March onwards this year. Saving money like a madman to get started. 

Your initial thoughts have been on my mind for myself wit regards to others locally.  I live and work in North Devon on Exmoor doorstep and will be keen to join up and fly with anyone local when I get in the air. This will happen (flying for me I mean) it's just a matter of time.

Cheers for your post. It was all good reading.  (Every days a school day)
