aussie1 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I have an excellent condition revo2 26 less than 5 hours use that I wish to swap for same in a 29. I have put on 18kg since buying it (fat bastard)now coming in @ 108 kg in retrospect I should have gone for the 29 first time round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_B_revo2 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Love to have the 26 but I'm not giving up my 29. I'm flying under it with a PAP and a 23lb. trike. If it gets stiff I can use my GTR 24. Too bad those don't come in 26. Best of luck Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptwizz Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Might I suggest that your original choice of wing was correct and should be another incentive to lose the excess weight? I started flying in my late 40s. At about the same time, I started putting on weight (having been a constant 75kg for the previous 25 years or so). I set myself a limit of 80kg and have manged to stay under that weight, using my wing loading as a mental target. I don't do 'fitness' or dieting as such. If my weight starts creeping up, or if I feel unfit I will make a few simple changes, like taking the dog for a walk instead of eating lunch for a couple of days.
