Pietenpol-List: Useful load

Post by matronics »

I am in the process of deciding which kit or plans built plane to buildand have been lurking in this discussion group for a couple of weeks. Ihave been seriously considering ordering the plans and starting a Piet,probably of the 3 piece wing and Corvair persuasion. What sort ofuseful load could I expect from such a configuration? I would need thecapacity to carrry a fairly heavy pilot and heavier passenger.title: electrical engineer________________________________________________________________________________
