Yes seriously big! Length is 144" and wing span is 164". This is a hyperlight kit designed around a Da-170 on pipes and ready to fly weight is 42-48 pounds.
Most likely though, I will use either a 3W 210 cs like stu d, or a 220cc mintor 4 cylinder. Kinder leaning towards the mintor cause it's sexy, smoother a little more powerful, a little cheaper and the same lenght as a da-170 so I won't have to modify the engine box. The mintor is $3600 but this includes everything such as manifolds and cans ect.

Went to go flying today (as you do on the weekend ).

Got to the field and it was closed!!!@!


Closed due to EXTREME"fire danger....

Temperature today in Perth - 42 degrees C

Temperature now (6.30pm) - 40 degrees C

Bring back winter - us hobbits don't like the heat.

It's Rosin's, near Tamborine. The hang glider guys have a club that (foolishly) jump off from there!
