Besides what the airplane can handle
structurally, the other factor that you’ll need to figure in is your
approach speed at a heavier weight. I don’t know what those would
be….

Subject: [LML] Legacy weight and
balance
Okay I weighed the airplane! I'm
trying to go on a diet. Actually the plane weighs about 1750.
So is anyone out there grossing their
airplane up to 2600 pounds? On a legacy. I know the factory
recommends 2200 pounds and I hear many of you gross about it 2400.
For my aircraft to fly with two people
with baggage and full fuel, she would gross out at about 2600 pounds.
Ideas, thoughts, suggestions!
