Europa-List: Dead weight vs. Flexibility

[Fred Klein <fklein@orcasonline.com>]

Hi All Mono-guys...


I have Bob Berube's kit for future conversion which includes hardpoints 
under the seat/thigh supports. I've weighed the hardware and 3/4" 
plywood at 7 lb. 2 oz. plus there would be some additional resin and 
glass...and it's decision time as to whether or not to go ahead and 
install it.

Are there any of you out there who wish you'd added 10# to acft. wgt. 
in order to have the option of easily converting to conventional 
landing gear?

Comments appreciated,

Fred
