What is the maximum body weight for this system at this time?

Thanks!

Hi and Thanks for your interest.

You should direct this Question to the Group as a whole. I weigh 176 pounds and fly a 23 Universal. 4 Bonkas is getting me 12 to 16 min fly time. I have milked 23 min once. Try to find someone flying OpenPPG at your Weight and Canopy Size and Style.

Actual flight times -- survey!

Looks like the average flight time with 4 x 22000 mAh Batteries is 24 minutes… Current[A] = Capacity[Ah] / time[hrs] So 44000 mAH = 44 Ah 24 minutes converted to hrs : (24/60)[min] / 60[min/hr] = 0.4 Current = 44Ah/0.4hrs = 110 A Average Amps in a flight is 110 A Run_time(min) = Capacity(Ah) / Current(A) x 60min/hr Capacity: 44 Ah Current: 110A Run_time = 44/110 x 60 = 24 min. Theoretical run time with my 4 x 22000 mAh (9.96 kg) + 4 x 16000 mAh (7.72 kg) = 76 Ah Current 110A Run_tim…

@markmjones Curious shopper here. What are you seeing for flight times now? Any change? I’m 6’4 & 235lbs, and am quite worried about the power and flight time.

am quite worried about the power and flight time.

I weigh the same, I average 15 min (5 min of reserve) on 4 and 25+ on 6 batteries.

Thanks for the data point. I’ll be starting new to the sport this winter. Did you start with the OpenPPG, or did you come in experienced?

I was a P2, but self-taught ppg on OpenPPG.
I have since had instruction (very helpful) and am now a PPG2 also.
