 |
|
Someone said the Firestar gross weight was 535. Is that a structural gross weight or a maximum take off weight with a 377? See where I'm going with this one? If it's a maximum takeoff weight, then with a 477 or 503 it should be higher, right?

John,
As I understand it, gross weight is gross weight. Mine is 589 lbs with 11 gallons on board and 447 engine. Kolb's design specs are very conservative, but there is a limit. There are 503's installed on a few 5-rib wings, but it gets back to how far do you want to push the limits. I wouldn't put a 503 on mine because I'm already over gross. I would be better off going on a diet. It would be good for the plane and pilot.
