I have a photo copy of a wieght and balance report for a CanadianPiet,indicating 1150 lbs gross. The Grega plans show 1129 lbs. In Canada chapter 549 allows 13 lbs per square foot wing loading with outflaps.Don't know what the U.S. regs are. A piet with a 140 sq. ft. wing at 1150 is around 8 lbs.per.sq.ft. Hope this helps you out. Doug..________________________________________________________________________________
