I came across this in the front of the 700, showing the method of calculation for the max weight in the rear seat:
Interesting that the Mk.22 AFM gives a max wt of 250 lbs.
Dan Winterland, I looked for your signature, all I could find were scribbled initials. What does the term "SNOW" mean?
This log is for 1993-1995. The last few entries are quite sad, as WG478 is stripped of components prior to disposal. Starting on 10.5.1995:
"Starter, breech & barrel assy removed".
"Oil tank robbed."
"Propellor removed for return to supply system"
"Port & Stbd flaps removed for return to supply system"
"Canopy assy removed..."
"Tailplane removed..."
"Port & Stbd mainplanes removed..."
"Voltage reg removed.."
"Oil tank removed..."
etc
When I purchased my box of bits in late 1996 it was a real jumble; WG478's fuselage (with a damaged fin), WP805's wings (with the fabric in a dire state), a brand-new tailplane etc. There was nothing forward of the firewall save for the oil tank (again seemingly brand-new), the cowlings and a time-expired engine (but not the one WG478 ended her RAF service with - overhauling this turned into quite an effort).
I had to source a new propeller, spinner, engine frames and all the engine accessories.
It was very much a mixed bag, although to be fair to the seller it was exactly as he'd described.
