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?

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 Roland PH-ZTI XS TG 914 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=481058#481058 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
