2010 Proposed US Sports Class Handicaps
Andy,
I can empathize. My LS8-18 is listed in brochures as weighing 540 lbs empty, but the factory weighing was 610 lbs empty. With me in it, I'm well over the SSA handicap weight. -John Andy wrote: On Jan 4, 7:12 am, "Wayne Paul" wrote: http://www.easternsailplane.com/sail...asw28.htmllist the weight as 518 lbs with minimal equipment. 498 would be correct if the "minimal equipment" weighs 20 lbs. That seems to be the text from a factory brochure. It also lists the ballistic recovery chute as an option but it never was available. I hope SSA handicap data are not derived from brochure data if conflicting actual factory weight data are available. Andy
