I have seen the 19lb/sq ft number quoted in at least 2 places but as grayhawk points out the math does not work out. I have also seen the wing area quoted as 78sq ft. In addition, on a long trip with my wife I am always 1800# where I certified the aircraft. That puts me in the region of 26lb/sq ft. Anybody have the "real" wing area and insight to why 19lb/sq ft turns up in the literature?

Thanks

Grayhawk

PS Quad Cities Challenger II = 5 lbs/sq ft. - exciting in turbulence.
