Default Powered Parachute R/C


Helo I´m New for here and like to do some questions:

I will to construct a Powered Parachute,

I will use a Foil (canopy) used to pratice Kitesurf (this foil is semi -eliptical and has 1,6 square meters).

The trike has 2,5 kg of weight and the engine is a O.S .46LA Blue wich he propeller 11"x6" pusher.

This is enough to fly ?

What I have that to take in consideration my model to fly?

Exist calculations that I have that to make?

Many thanks for help-me,

Lucas

I think you have a pretty good match between the size of the parafoil and the engine but the weight should probably be in the 1,5 to 2 kg range.
