2008 AOPA Sweeps Archer Useful Load
Just read the article on the new sweepstakes plane. What stood out was the
700 lbs.+ full-fuel payload on the early Archers. Is that right?? Is anyone
seeing that kind of payload? It's hard to believe it has the same if not
better load-carrying capability than some Sixes/Saratogas.
Also, it'll be interesting to see if Aspen gets their PFD's certified in
time for the scheduled installation. My guess is that at best they'll get
just one column (the AI/DG) in time for the delivery.
