Would one of you FireFly owners tell me how many pounds the tailwheel supports when it's parked.
Much appreciated.

Dave,
With the Rotax 447 and no pilot but included five gallons of fuel, the tail
wheel weighed 57 pounds.
With the Rotax 447 and no pilot but included three gallons of fuel, the tail
wheel weighed 54.5 pounds.
With Victor 1+ and no pilot but included 3.6 gallons of fuel, the tail wheel
weighed 56 pounds.

Dave,
As promised, I weighed my FF's tail wheel. Have a rather std FF, brakes, larger tires, not much else for weight, about 3 gal fuel. Tailwheel on electronic scale=56# When I came home, the dang scale had 'slud' over and fell on driveway when I opened the door! Now my weight has dropped to 146 from 175!!!

BobIn re weighing tailwheels -- I'm sure you've heard of the woman who gave birth at a fishing camp. The infant was weighed on the fish-weighing scales; weighed 37 lbs!

Bob N.,
Now we all know this was done on purpose so you wouldn't feel guilty over stuffing yourself with a large Christmas dinner. It just will not work Bob, you will not fool the airplane.

Russ, I suggested to him to hawk it at a Curves For Women - he could pick up quite a few bucks for it!
I'm very greatful for his contribution to setting up the trailer I'm fabricating for my FF! He's quite a fine gentleman.
Hope all on the list - active and lurkers - are having a blessed Christmas. Best wishes for a fine year of flying ahead!
