aquatix Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hmmm - 160 kg is my all up weight (with a full tank of fuel), but I don't think I've got the "bullets" to take off & land with a 20m wing though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybound Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Have done just over 150kg with the Polini but my Nucleon was a little bigger at 23m2, would need more power if I was to go smaller and maybe a larger take off site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macey2kk Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 ah... a claim to fame....i now own that rotron!! somehow i dont think il be breaking any records on my 32m2 synthesis!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertflyer Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 On a 32m wing at 160kg you should still get 58kph. I wonder what the fuel consumption was like on his 15 minute run? 10 l/h ........ Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
