  • Increased MTOW

    Can anyone help with the details and STC for the increased maximum take off weight please? Any help pointing to where I can obtain spec. drawings etc would be most welcome.

    Thank you

    Link above points to the STC.

    I installed only the structural part of the STC to get to 1280 lbs., did not install the 85 hp engine.

    STC holder at the time and FAA said that was ok.

    337 was processed with no problems.

        Not quite right but if the FAA says OK then it must be OK

          CAR 04.7 asks for an initial 300 fpm minimum rate of climb in a Standard Atmosphere at Standard Weight (GW). I assume that's at sea level. I'd also assume an increase in GW w/o more power will allow for that.
