Found this in a mag the other day ... it was an article for learners. Aside from the arc calculator, I've not seen anything mentioned like this before ...

soooo, get a smaller bottom end to get more bottom end. I wonder if this works on just kites?:frog::wink2:

Works on bikes too :yes: power-to-weight ratio is improved when the rider loses weight :lol: cheapest power-up mod ever :D

hopefully my bottom end dropping will net me some more fly time!

All i know is my harness fits WAY better than it did a month or two ago

1 hp gained for every 6-7 lbs lost in motorcycle racing. We roadrace minis with 5-15 HP and rider weight is Hooj
