rsquared Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 An interesting thread to read will be the pro's and con's between the "Hornet" and the "V5 S". Which one to choose? An early assumption is that the Hornet will be as reliable as the V5, which I think is at the top of the list for anybody....reliability. But I am a just a humble spectator at this stage. Yet still keen on hearing the "arguments" on both sides. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacoolw Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Hi Morgy What does it sounds like? Is it noisy compared to a bailey v5 and compared to a Polini Thor 200? the name "Hornet" worries me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hi Jacool The hornet i think i a great name.. Its going to give the Polini a run for it's money for sure.. To me it sounds like a 250cc 2 stroke MX bike... Very revy and with very smooth power delivery like the V5. IMO it is fairly quiet. How quiet up against the V5 is hard to tell as its a totally different sound. and i have taken no DB readings. next to the V5 S that has a new exhaust system that includes wadding like a 2 stroke and different style baffles, combine this with the new E prop to reduce DB reading as well.. This should make the V5S very quite indeed.. Regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacoolw Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 the great thing about the v5 4-stroke sound is that the sound doesn't seem to bother sheep or horses Where 2-strokes scare the crap out of them I asked how it compares to a Polini Thor because the Thor makes a pleasant sound for a 2-stroke, imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pianoman Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Do we know final thrust figures and price yet? Pianoman Sent from my iPad using PMC Forum mobile app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 HI The Price of the Bailey Chassis hornet is £5750 and will be the same price as the New V5S... I have seen thrust figures around the 72-73kg the same as my Moster and on the day a Polini thor 200 @70kg... I would say when on cruise the Hornet does have a sound close to the Thor. but not the same. I flew it with my slalom helmet on without ear plugs "i can't do that with my moster" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pianoman Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 That's great thanks mate. What about the thrust f& weight figures for the v5s yet? Pianoman Sent from my iPad using PMC Forum mobile app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 weight for the V5s will be the same as the V5 thrust should be up around 8-10%.. This still has to be proved... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pianoman Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 That'll be good. I'd love a V5 but being on the heavier side it's never had enough umph for me Pianoman Sent from my iPad using PMC Forum mobile app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
