500 pound gross weight.


Jack,

I am at 518 gross. If your Firefly weighs 254 + 24(BRS) + 30 (fuel)
then max pilot weight would be 192 lbs. If you carried extra fuel you would
really be over weight. The Firefly has a different wing attach than a fire star.
I assume the single strut with steel H support is stronger than the Firefly
set up. Have there been any known structural failures in the Firefly? I am
thinking of going back to the original 4" wheels. Azusa makes makes a new light
weight spun aluminum wheel . They are about 75.00 each. Kinda pricey. Not
sure what they weigh ,but I would like to have a pair.
