Thanks for the thorough replies Larry 🙂

If i’m looking for the high top speed and range it seems the Revo might be a better bet and to be picky with landing areas. If the runway is sub 1500 come 1 up if its 1500+ 2 up sounds like it’ll be fine. Also seems like a Rival X for grass strips and an S for longer cross country cruising would make sense.

How much of a difference in takeoff distance do the prop options make i.e. 2 blade vs 4 or 6 blade e-prop?

Also, the revo has 700 series tundra tires as an option, do those help at all?

Hey Roger, Those are some points I hadn’t considered for a trike. With my paramotor if there’s rocks I usually also shut the motor off before landing for the same reason. The circle / multiple passes with gps to figure wind is standard for me since it can vary so much when you’re at ground level on certain days,, agreed.

Do you feel a lot of the flying you do on the Revolt you wouldn’t be able to do on the Revo?

Is there anyway to get the cruise speed higher on a Revolt by taking a Rival S or a faster wing?

Thanks for the detailed reply! That Montana flying is a dream, reminds me of the alps 🙂

I’m leaning more towards the Revo for speed – so for the Revo, when do you decide to take the Rival S vs the Rival X? For backcountry its always the X right?
