Hi denny:

What is the actual weight limitation on that. I know the C-120/149 is over about 60 pounds.

I did talk to one student this week who was interested in that and he asked me where the FAA came up with the weight.

I Gave an educated guess. I told him they probably figured it out using a max amount of kinetic energy. Since many won't have medicals I figured they came up with the weigh for a maximum amount of impact damage.

You seem to be the expert on that, your thoughts?
