• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Blackwing BW 635 RG

And now for the less impressive numbers...

Per the factory web page:

Empty weight is 370 kg or 816 lbs
MTW is 600 kg or 1323 lbs
Fuel capacity is 140 liters or 37 gallons, so...
Full tanks hold 105kg or 230 lbs by weight.

It's an ultralight, so I'll cut it a little slack, but still, with full tanks, that's just leaves room for me and a small bag for a weekend getaway - forget taking a passenger.

For sport flying it should be a lot of fun, but not all that practical.
 
This looks fun, but I have the Got Friends Vertigo if I want a fast, light Garmin GA plane.

If it ever goes 50% off on an OrbX sale, though, I'd pick it up for $10 for sure.
