The Great Plains website lists the empty weight as 440 lbs. My plane shows a whopping empty weight as 550 lbs on the weight and balance form. Where do you think the extra lbs were gained (has a GP 1835cc engine with possible "X Casting" and alternator). 2. What is the Max gross operating weight of the aircraft? 750 lbs? (Sonerai Plans ordered but not received). 3,. I am 6 feet tall and fit in the cockpit, but the canopy depresses my head about an inch or more, and would therefore like to replace the present canopy with a slightly larger/higher canopy. Any thoughts on a vendor for such. Canopy design? =09 Thanks for your responses in advance? Sonerai Newbie, Buck Carlton California, MD (301) 866-9170 (H) (301) 862-2390x375 (W) N100X Sonerai 1 <>
