Hi folks,
New member here. I 'm looking at a nice 6A for sale. The builder has won awards with this airplane and has excellent logs and documentation. In looking over the specs and limitations, he has the following numbers listed as max weights for the airplane:
Max weight normal category - 1850 lbs
Max weight utility category - 1703 lbs
Max weight aerobatic cat - 1375 lbs
Obviously Ive referenced this against Van's recommended GW of 1650 lbs. I'm looking for some guidance here as the empty weight is 1135. Not much useful there if I use 1650. If anyone is willing to discuss, please send me a PM and we can chat. Thanks for your help and best regards to all.
