Subject: Europa-List: Mtow+

What is the maximum mtow that anyone has flown with?

I am looking at the trip to usa.

Aircraft without fuel weighs 930.

Co pilot, pilot and 17 gals weigh 470.   My aux tank with pump and 10.5
gals weighs 75 lbs will be strapped to the wing tie bar up against the main
tank.

So we have 930+545=1485.   Add liferaft 8 lbs and odd and ends and itll be
a smidgen over 1500.

I have flown with 1400lbs taking off at 8500 so I am sure that itll take
off.

What the opinion of the group on this?  Anyone have any experience?  Does
anyone foresee issues?

Will

Hello Will,

I have the MTOM increase to 1450lbs (which I appreciate very much) and have flown
with this (2 men up inclusive parachutes, complete camping gear in the baggage
bay and full fuel) several times. The Europa handles this without any problems.


Just be aware, that you'll need a longer take off run and have a higher stall speed
- for obvious reasons. 

No experience >1450lbs however.

Regards and have a safe flight
