1230 versus 1460 pounds?

Sounds like "trounced" to me!


Where is the 1460? I see 1222 for the Dakota and 1230 for the
Skylane? Looks like a small win for the Skylane if anything. Can you
point out the 1460 in his post?


I think Jay is saying he has 1460 lbs useful load on his airplane.
I question that. I cannot believe he has an additional 230 lbs of useful
load unless there is a drop in the max gross weight between the 235 and
the 236/Dakota. His BEW simply cannot be that much lower.

That may be the case. I was commenting on your numbers.
