OK regarding the weight. I put 800lbs as a *gross* weight because I believe thats what the FAA criteria formula is based on, but not sure.
The lightest KR (a 1.5) on the spreadsheet is 525lbs empty with a VW. I weight almost 200lbs. Fuel will be at least another hundred. That's 825 right there. It is unlikely that the 27ft wingspan will fit the formula *the way I understand it , which is not that well*, and I was trying to determine whether this aircraft can fit the criteria IF they base it on gross weight. I will be THRILLED if its based on empty weight and the 27ft works for the criteria because that presents a good option for me and others if ever needed.
