After getting my sprint the way I want it the weight is like 45 lbs over. Instruments,ballistic chute,steerable nose wheel, beacon lighting, and I would like a harness also. What I wanted to ask was does anyone have any experience with flying one of these 50lbs.over gross. Now I know I'm going to get umpteen folks telling me all the negatories of flying it heavy, so if it's my mommies advice, please refrain. If I'm having this problem with weight, there are most likely a few other people with the same circumstance. Folks flying floats, electric start,and other add ons must be out there with some helpful advice. I've already added wing fences and got my c.g. figured so I'm good to go there, any positive hints would be appreciated.
