I was coming in to make a flippant, hopefully humorous comment regarding building a lawn dart due to nose weight.
Turns out... A standard O-200 (something that has been hung on a KR. I think...) is 200-225lbs. 245 lbs isn't that much more. Provided it doesn't cause a large gain in frontal area... You might want to consider solid foam wings and balanced surfaces. If you get my very fast drift. And you may also want short legs :-) On Tue, Nov 17, 2015 at 6:22 AM, Adam Tippin via KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org > wrote: > o-235c weighs about 245 lbs. vw type IV weighs about 150 lbs. > The answer is?
