Tonight I heard from Rick Lanning, the new owner of Dan Diehl's N4DD KR2. He's about to reregister it, and had this question. The plane weighs 721 pounds now with the 0-200 in it, and it holds about 30 gallons of fuel. With a passenger he's going to be way over the gross weight called out in the plans. Now, I know that if you're the guy that BUILDS it, you can establish the gross weight just about wherever you want to. But if it's already been registered before, and you haven't made any real changes to it, can you just arbitrarily jack up the gross weight and set to to something like 1300 if you feel the need? The DAR is coming next week, and he's wondering what his data plate needs to read by then.
I just signed him up for KRnet, so he'll be online shortly. Thanks, Mark Langford, Huntsville, AL N56ML "at" hiwaay.net see KR2S project at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford
