Hi Guys,
All set to test fly last Sunday and it blew like.....[&o] never mind public holiday here next Monday so planning on test flight then! good old NZ summer
Here in New Zealand we have a requirement to register/certify our aircraft if they weigh between 15 & 25kg and special CAA approval for over 25kg. Part of the certification requires listing certain specs including wing area which is a figure I could'nt find published anywhere so for those interested the SM A4 comes out at around 1250 sq in (79.80 sq dm) and with my aircraft tipping the scales at 16.90kg gives a wing loading of approx 69 ozs/sq.ft (212 g/sq.dm).....a figure probably not wanting to think about to much
Anyone else that's built an A4 care to share your finished weight? the 16.90kg for mine is dry and I would be keen to know what the total fuel capacity is with the 2x side conformal tanks and the smaller rectangle shaped tank under the intake ducting, another figure I could'nt find listed in any specs...anyone know the tank capacities?
Some may notice the Kangaroo roundals have now been repainted with Kiwi's making it now officially an RNZAF aircraft!
Cheers.........Rene
