Default 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!

Never weighed under 245 lbs, put in a tail tank and flew it for years including 1000K

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?

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.

I noticed your interest in an ASW-15B. Mine is for sale and is posted on Wings & Wheels. Jack
