What is the Take Off Weight of the O2?

[ConwayB]

Hello all,

Thanks for all your replies.

I actually located the Type Data Sheet and obtained that information, Skymstr O2, just today... so thank you none-the-less.

For some unknown reason, the weight and balance guys gave the aircraft a MTOW of 1950 kilograms which is 4290 lbs! They robbed me of 10 lbs!

Herb, thanks for the post on the performance. I have that POH. Don Nieser got it for my O-2 purchase because our regulator won't accept the O-2 USAF flight manual, so I have to use the civilian manual. That's one of the reasons why I had the question; because it refers to 4400 lbs!

Oh well, even though the O-2 was flown at 4850 lbs... I guess I'll have to stick to 4290 lbs.

Once again, thanks to all.

PS. I'll post some pics of the glass cockpit I've had put into the machine. 1968 O-2 on the outside, 21st Century on the inside. Can't wait to get it in the air!

Cheers
Conway
