I have had my S2L for a while and it has sat in the shed for too long. I want to put her back up, but age/spread has me 15kg over the recommended max for the pilot seat.
Is there a corrected C of G calculation to allow for a heavier pilot or a structural/ballast mod to do the same. I intend to put her back as single seat utilising the front cabin floor for a second 60l fuel tank and the rest for storage, with a Jab 4/6 up front( not decided ..have a 2200, but like the idea extra weight/power of the 3300 .. but even the smaller has so much more that the original 1835) Any suggestions grateful Thanks Lyle
