Rex - Different scales, but we used 3 different sets and they were all within .5
kilos of each other - a fuel weight allowance was deducted (except for unusable
fuel) - nothing has been added (according to the aircraft log).
Rick - The UK has different "rules" than you folks, quote from the U.K. CAA (Civil
Aviation Authority):-
"A microlight is an aeroplane designed to carry either one person or two people
(and not more) and which has a maximum total weight authorised (MTWA) not exceeding
450 kg for a two seat landplane
A microlight must also have either a wing loading at the maximum weight authorised
not exceeding 25 kg per square metre or a stalling speed at the maximum weight
authorised not exceeding 35 knots calibrated speed."
A wingtip extension modification was cleared to increase the wing area to 15.6
square metres allowing a MAUW of 390 Kilos (860lbs).
I can't see the weights being falsified as they were done by two different LAA
(Light Aircraft Association, the regulating body) Inspectors as was mine.
I don't have any paperwork on the original build, but the guy flew it with permits
for 6 years.
There must be a very well fed family of mice living in the wings. :?

70 # is hard to miss. Agree that original numbers could be fiction.

Did the last guy add additional instrumentation or other stuff after he did
the first weigh?

My MKIIIc weighed 630 lbs in 1994. No telling what it weighs now. That's
with a 912ULS.

I've flown up and down that route many times, but never found a convent
at or near any of the airports I landed.
What would you consider "better than average services?"
For me that would be cheap self service av gas.
I landed at a farmer's grass strip just outside Washington, Indiana, on
a flight from OSH to Gantt International Airport, Alabama. Driven down
by low viz and heavy rain. He put me up in his shop and took me to
supper at the local Amish Buffet. Had a little gall from the local
newspaper come out next morning to take photos and get an interview.
Even sent me a copy of the article after I got back to hauck's holler.
It was great. Normally they tell you they'll send you a copy, but never
fulfill their promise.
On another flight I landed at Washington Airport, Indiana. Discovered I
could sleep in the FBO and found an old beater in the parking lot with
the key in it. Beat feet down to the Amish Buffet once again.
Those were fun days.
Now those were really cool days, mal. Good luck and have a safe flight.
