Just off the boat

Our latest arrival tipped the scales with an empty weight of just 736 pounds. Subtracting that from its (S-LSA limited) gross take-off weight of 1,320 pounds leaves a useful load of 584 pounds. That's equal to two 180 lb pilots, 26 gallons of fuel, and 60 pounds of baggage.

Also, the distribution of empty weight puts the center of gravity exactly at the position of the pilot's shoulder. Pretty cool, huh?
