LS3a vs Pegasus
I really wanted a Pegase, but I weigh 225 lbs, and best as I can tell by the POH, max pilot weight of a 101 is 185. This is max weight of non lifting surfaces minus empty weight.
If someone can show me different I'll certainly listen! |

I just looked at a digital copy of a manual and it listed max load at 260 lbs. Where did you get the 185 number?

If someone can show me different I'll certainly listen! This varies per aircraft. Depends on the actual empty weight of non-lifting components (fuselage, stabilizer), and therefore damage history and equipment fitted. I have two in maintenance with a 225+ lbs max weight (227 and 231). 242 (and a bit) is maximum load per design specifications (seatbelts and attachment) if max non-lifting is not reached before that. |
