TechMan Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Hi, As a plans built aircraft, yes, there would be no problem registering them with RA-Aus, based on the figures that are viewable on the Wag-Aero website for the Wag-A-Bond Classic and the Traveler. You would be pushing the limits with the traveler as it has around 204kg usuable load (with our MTOW limit of 544kg), two 90kg people leaving around 33L of fuel, and with a 914 115hp engine, thats about an hour at 100hp. So not really worth it. No info on the sportsman 2+2 but I take it that it is a 4 seater, so no go there. The sport trainer, depends on what you want to buy in the kit, there are numerous options available so will need to be assessed individually. As long as it meets the 51% rule, no problem. The kit will need to be inspected once it arrives here. With plans built, start building. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Pilot Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 What's the latest on the "Light Aircraft" classification that the US and looks like Australia is heading towards? They say a 600 KG limit, would that be for Aircraft specified as "Light Aircraft" or would some existing machinery qualify? Something like the "Traveler" built light with a 914 Rotax would have a good usefull load and resonable cross country speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
