Hello Janne,
I have the 5m DG 303 from Paritech and from your comments I understand that you are not very happy with the performance of the 6.5m with Hammer 90 and 23kg AUW .
Paritech recommends a Wren 44 Gold 10lbs thrust for the 5m and AUW is 12kgs .
Should I install a Wren Supersport instead (18lbs).
Only problem is that it will increase the overall weight by maybe 500gm and will call for an additional fuel tank atleast 500ml
Will it still be structurally sound ? I know the wing has a Carbon D Tube structure.
