Dariuszk24 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 motor for you ,I would recommend only Thor 250 or air conception nitro200 or air conception Tornado 280 from Dudek brand you have few wing in your weight range for example Nucleon or http://para2000.org/wings/index.html link above to choice any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonhunny Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I would agree with the thor 250 & tornado, but nitro 200 is very marginal. What about the moster 185 that is at least 25% more power than the nitro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilzy Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I weigh 125kg and the Nitro 200 has no probs handling my weight unless you super fit I’d stay away from the Thor 200/250 they weigh so much it’s crippling having them on your back. The tornado has the power and the lightweight but as said the Nitro is plenty powerful smooth strong for us big fella’s it a game changer best motor out there after suffering heavy motors for years when the Nitro came along it changed everything for me.

Damian Mchale Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hi I’m looking for a wing more than a motor at the minute really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilzy Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Look for a Dudek Synth 34 super wing to learn on and cheap now super safe and stable wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time i struggle with the weight of a 250 machine is when i have a 20 litre tank full up with fuel.... Nil wind full 20 litre tank and a sub 20m wing... Now thats a struggle!!! but how often would you want to fly for over 6-6.5 hours?? If you have medical reasons why you need a lighter motor may be think about a trike.. I always ask my customers a few questions before I recommend a machine/motor combo to them, Body weight? Experience? Medical Issues? What are your longer term goals for Paramotoring? XC, Slalom style, Acro, A 30 minute potter around your field.. How long do you want to fly for now and how long do you think you will fly or would like to in a couple of years?... Where do you fly? Flat lands or mountains.. If you just follow others you might be buying the wrong machine for you, take good advice from Your local pilots/dealers/instructors All the best Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echogolf Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I have a Nucleon 34, red, with less than 15 hours with all the bits and pieces it came with. 140-175kg weight range. Still looks new. Stored in the house, dry for 9 years in the bag. I bought it in 2010 or thereabouts and lost 25kg in weight, underweight on it and so never flew it. PM me anyone interested. I'm in Kent.
