Neilzy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I was 120kg but have now slimmed down to 98kg i have a EC Extreme Moster powered rig and even at 120 it did the job fantasically and its so light at 98kg its still the ideal motor for me i would reccomend without any hesitation.

morgy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hi lee It's not all about power..... Even at 90kg you could fly a mini plane... with the correct wing... Even @ 105kg you could fly a Bailey.. I know a 110kg V4 pilot and a 110kg V5 pilot. Allot of it comes down to experience... Are you current or just learning to fly Is this your first motor??

morgy Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 One thing to think about Lee is when you have completed your training. Make sure you have your Equipment ready to use and not have a few months of no flying until you can afford to buy the kit this is and could be dangerous. Little things are easily forgotten and you will be rusty, you would need to go back and have a refresh with your instructor... Best thing to do is to have your kit as your about to take your first flights then you can fly on it with supervision from your instructor. He could also make sure you don't buy a crock of s**t. There out there!!!! Good luck with the training Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
