alan_k Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 The Simo might(will) be a bit powerful at your weight. If you can control your throttle well this isn't a particular problem, you'll have plenty in reserve. Good motor though. The Nemo 27 is 80-115 rated all up, Dudek include the weight of the wing, so You 66kg + wing 5kg + clothing etc 5kg + motor 30kg = 106kg -OK Cheers, Alan 'Keven is this right 10.5 st = 66.6780 kg.' Yes it's not much is it Tom. There is a pilot at the field who is 55kg, he flies a 21 sq metre ITV Dolpo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that's some power. I'm 80k in the top80 cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1buell_wl Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 One suggestion at 65K I would try and watch the weight of you motor too. Try to keep the weight down with nice power. Its always nice to have some power when you need it. If you can try some units and see what you like e.g. high hang, low, ton of power, smaller frame more safty etc. You will find everyone has their personal preferences in motors as you will.
