Will it be a stupid fun idea to fly a 22m FLX with a TOW of 105kg (including a motor), overloading about 15 kg? Still new to freestyle, but will advance in no time if I get a chance to fly with a motor

It kind of feels like a EN A wing that stalls more easily to me. It keeps me safe, which is the big thing I was looking for from it. If I had a complaint it would be that it's harder to inflate in nil wind than a typical paramotor wing.
Hey Woody whats up? I just bought an Octane FLX 25 and only did a couple of flights with my Moster 185, how do you feel the wing? is it nice and easy or it may be tricky? Thanksss
Awesome, thanks man! Are you talking about riser twist due to torque? I wasn't planning on doing acro with a running prop. How much did you overload it by? I actually just realized ill be near 120 kg... so about 30 kg extra...
I flew Octane 2 25m on a motor. I'm not a super advanced acro pilot, I mostly work on tail slides, SATs, wing overs, loops, and tumbles lately. I was over the weight limit but it was still pretty docile compared to most of the paramotor wings I've flown.
The only knock I have against the Octane 2 is that it's fairly heavy and doesn't inflate like a my paramotor wings. On a motor I launch in nearly nil wind most of the time and it really requires a firm pull to get it inflated.
I flew my octane 2 22 freeflight first and then motor, I motor 99% of the time. I didnt have any issues. just be aware, riser twist is a real thing and when it comes to weight shifting on a motor, its very important to really lean.

Thanks, Woody! I was wondering about the size of the wing in your vids! keep 'em coming!
