I think the key lock is prevent the aircraft from walking away without its owner.
Turning on the radio with the keyless master buss will not steal the aircraft.
Interestingly, on topic, the WWII warbirds I have been in did not have keyed switches
at all originally. I guess an armed guard was supposed to served the security
purpose. From what I have heard more modern warbirds (F16, A10, UH-1Y,
Cobra, etc.) maintain this tradition. Maybe Bud can expound on this, round the
campfire this week at KOSH.

Hi folks,
The max non lifting weight allowance is the max weight of the airplane
fully loaded less the wings. This is used to calculate static moments
and to dimension spars, attach points and so on. Id like to info so I
can calculate accuratelly my max payload.
Best to all

Thanks for the update Wlad!
Sorry to say, I never measured a W&B on my europa without wings.
Are you sure you need that particular weight spec? The engineering of the structure
is completely fixed by the kit manufacturer and payload =
Max Gross - empty weight (of complete structure with wings)
I can see want the fuse weight for the structural engineering of the spars, etc,
but I don't see the need in calculating payload?
Depending where you are,the max gross is set by the manufacturer of the Kit, or
by the builder. In my case, I simply set my max gross to 1450# Please don't
ask for my engineering data. FAA regs allow the builder to set it by executive
fiat, which after consultation with the FlightCrafter guys and Bud, I did just
that.
