Powered Parachute / Paraglider
Hi Folks
Any RC powered Paraglider/parachute guys out there. I have a ¼ scale one and need to ask a few questions.
1)Does your have a serious bout of oscillation at times.
2)Do you think that the 40 has to much thrust for the aircraft?
3)Has anybody used a smaller size motor?
I would appreciate if I could have some feed back and any comments/ideas.

Hi There!
I have been working on a new 1/4 scale, but have not yet finished getting it all together yet, so I can't answer your question exactly, BUT ....I have a great club and email group for R/C paraplane owners and enthusiasts over on Yahoo.com. It seems to me that I remember a few of the guys talking about this very problem! It's a fair bet that one of the members may have an answer for you. Please feel free to join us and have a look around. Here's the web address for the club http://groups.yahoo.com/group/allrcp...andparagliders I also have been putting lots of photos of Paraplanes, Paragliders etc, in the club photo albums. I hope that you get a chance to drop over. Discussion wise, It's a lot like R/C Universe, but everything is devoted strictly to Paraplanes, Powered Parachutes, etc. I look forward to seeing you as a new member. Have a great day.
Best Wishes,
