gordon_dunn Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 You need a Miniplane. I was in a similar sitution, moved from a 35kgs machine to the Miniplane. Empty machine is jsut over 18kgs, and with 5 litres of fuel you get a good 1.5hours in the air with a bit of reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spigot Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Depends how heavy you are. I've got a Pap1100 top80 but only any use if your 60kg or under. Think it's 23kg with the reserve fitted.

spigot Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Think thrust will be a suck it and see job. Booted I'm just under 60kg and flying a 23 fusion. It's got enough grunt for easy nil wind takeoff and a leisurely climb. But for playing low level I require a little more And it does indeed have a clutch Come on down to Membury and have a test fly.

Dominicppg Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 If you want light weight and don't need mega thrust then the Miniplane is fantastic at 18-19kg (weight depends on whether you have weight-shift bars or not). If you need light weight and more thrust, I would suggest the Air Conception with the 130cc motor which is between 18.5kg for the lightest model and 22kg for the heaviest (which includes weight-shift bars, clutch and electric start). If you need even more thrust then you could look at the Air Conception with the Moster (180cc) engine which comes it at just under 23kg. http://www.custom-air.co.uk/Custom_Air_ ... motor.html Hope this helps.
