Hi Guys I am 70 kgs and have a Kalama E3 I have a hps 1050 ,830 and a bsc 890 and 740 . I am contemplating on buying a bsc 810 or an art899 second hand I know the newer models are superior but I don't want to spend that much I had a spitfire 900 and didn't like it .Some advice off owners of the 810 and 899 would be greatly appreciated cheers Rich

I picked up an 810 for a song and have only flown it once or twice. Its fast and fun and easy to carve. Doesn't breach well but at that small wingspan, its not really an issue. I had an 899 for a while and never really clicked with it. I'm 85k. It was hard to get going on a barn door style wingboard. It was a twitchy turner but had nice glide. I was always more of a 1099 guy. I would pick the 810 over the 899 but at your weight, the 899 may work better than it did for me.
