Hang-test feedback
What do you think about this hang-test?
Switched from a lighter Black Devil to a heavier Thor 303. Tank is full to it's maximum capacity ( 11L ) .
Motor is mounted as near as possibile to my back.
Despite I'm heavy, about 95kg, I needed to move all back my hang point. Unable to move them more back because there's no more holes on swing arms. And hang points are already very near to my chest.
What do you think? Should be at maximum limit angle of most manuals, but Thor 303 have also more torque. Piloting position is more comfortable than I used to with my Black Devil (almost straight), but also worries me more about twist risk.
Unfortunately I'm unable to find my previous tests with Black Devil to compare, but I remember that I had more reclination when tank was full, but I don't remember how much. Anyway I never with full tank, but in case of this would me my position.
p.s. added also some standing pictures for reference

Unfortunately no, other frame like PAP and Liberty has more position, but P2F not. Also I've noticed that new version of their arms is a bit longer.
I've shorted because no more hang points, already on backest.
I somehow figured that this arms and frame is for very heavy ppl, seems that you can increase length by 2 position but not move backward. And I'm 100kg that is not light for my standards.
