Data logged SP140 flight

I am using a Rotex 15 kW motor that I limit RPM to 2400 through the MGM controller, which gives me 11.5 kW for takeoff. I’m an 80 kg pilot and the power is more than sufficient. The ability to limit RPM or input current is highly useful I’ve found, as well as good telemetry. I’ve used the Cockpit V2 to wireless monitor voltage, power, rpm and temps.

You only average 3.8 kilowatts and your friend with the “newest E-Glider” averages 2.16 kilowatts…

You and your friend are ahead of every available Eppg’s, you guys are even better than Thomas Brandstetter> Single MAD motor - #22 by bratwurst

If you are not in a paragliding pod harness and over 80 kg Pilot weight, then Eppg’s are between 4.2 and 4.8 kilowatts (That could be the numbers for the OpenPPG SP140 even I was reading theoretical numbers like 3.5 kw average and the OpenPPG x4 uses 6.2 kilowatts.
