Q: What is the real gross weight of this one (S-1C) from 1972? I'm told itcould be 950 or 1,050 depending on the compression ribs.The owner says his weight at 140 isperfectlycentered in the CGbut he isn't sure about gross.Could Ibeheavyenough at 180lbs/chute and full fuel and smoke oil to be concerned?
