Re: A little black puff isn't bad when you go from stable cruising to flooring it

Re: A formula that I've seen for figuring this out is the following:

Interesting :)

That means, using your formula:


112kg /(1550kg/340hp) = 24.6hp

that seems a little high I would have thought.

Re: I'm curious as to what kind of passenger seat you have that weighs 83.6lbs (38Kgs)?

Is this the same seat as yours?
