I've had my eye out for a RV-6 and got to looking at the useful load. If I'm figuring right it kinda sucks considering I tip the scales at 230.
1600 gross wt.
1032 empty wt.
=568 useful
228 fuel
230 pilot
=110 for passenger and baggage
This is for a 6 with 180 hp. I was looking at a 6 with a 160 and it only leaves 80# for passenger and bags. I was hoping they would carry me with full tanks and have around 200# left over. Are all RV'ers light weights or just have light passengers?
