Increased MGW
Posted: Fri Jul 12, 2019 10:14 am
Good morning.
I read this sentence in another post "increased gross weight of 3200lb up from 2895lb only came with the upgrade from the fiberglass main gear." Can anyone shed some light on this?
I have an S90 but didn't build it; I'm the 3rd owner. The data plate indicates MGW is 2895#. The previous owner upgraded the main gears from stock fibreglass to Grove aluminium. He said it reduced weight while being stronger. Does this meet the statement above? Also, where is this noted? I'd like to share it with my A&P for an upcoming W&B.
Thanks in advance.
Roger
