Default RE: Total Weights Influence

Okay so it depends on what you like and what type of flying you do...there is not a right or wrong on this one - just aslong as the plane can take off and gain altititude.

Let's put this into a scenario I have at the moment (yes it is my Edge again - I'm so on my toes with this plane since I have only had problems from day 1 with it). Anyway, lets take the first scenario as i got it back after the rebuilding of the firewall. The plane will take off and climb vertically without any problems so I guess, from what have been described, is not an overweight plane. Now I have added some weight to the plane due to installing a pilot (got the plane to balance at the same spot as they balanced it after the rebuild) Perhaps a tad nose heavy but nothing to worry about. Now all and all which I have added comes to around 70grams in total upfront...this will really not have an influence will it? If you should guess
