Default RE: Wing Loading on a twin

Mike, thanks.

Bo:
Yes, just checked out the AMA site and it is 55lbs for the waiver. I need to trim off 2lbs and am working on it now. Dropping dual 5600mah li-ions for dual 2600, maybe c/f nose cones instead of Tru-turn, etc. I am confindent I can drop the 2lbs therby elimating the hassle of a waiver. Noted I have an ispector right here in town and did not know it.

One thing I did notice on the regulations is that to even qualify, the wing loading cannot exceed 60ozs..... That has me worried a little... I will calculate the wing area I have rather than using the manufacturer statistics and try getting a more accurate weight and go from there.

Thank you guys for all your input.
Paul
