Default Schweizer 1-34 Pilot Weight capability

Our club is considering an SGS 1-34 as an addition to the fleet and is
interested in the max pilot weight capability. It looks like the
handbook numbers are quite high, but we would appreciate any real
world inputs from 1-34 pilots or owners.


Ultimately, it depends on how much paint it has. I know of one
chapter that removed the paint and polished the aluminum to gain back
something approaching 30 lbs. But I don't know what the total payload
became. That 1-34 also had O2. Maybe a member will chime in.
