Jones said the (eight-passenger) fuselage weighs less than 400 lbs." 400 lbs? Is that with the floor and windows? Even if it's just the (pressurized) hull ...WOW! Now, let's say I get hold of some of that FibeX and use it to build a CriCri...Hmm. CriCri Empty Weight: 70-85 Kg (160 -190 lbs) [2 engines, wings, fuselage, instruments, canopy, seat, wheels, etc] MTOW: 175 Kg [220 lbs for pilot, GPS, radio, stuff, fuel (30 lbs) ...if ...E/W is 75 Kg] Montblack |
