Folks, I am looikng into getting an S9 or S10 in the near future. My question is that I am 6'3 and 280 lbs, I carry it like I weight 230 or so people tell me :) I think an s10 would be a better option but the 9 seems like you would wear it more and that is what I would like in an aerobatic machine. I look at the specs and the 9 and 10 use the same wing, same tubing for the fuselage and same empennage right? If so the loading for the 9 must be way under rated at only 710lbs gross compared to the 10 at 1010lbs. This would lead me to believe a fat bstrd like myself could make a 9 work and still be in no danger of over "g"ing it???? Also if I put the radiator in the cowling and had batteries etc as far forward as possible can I make Cg work or would I have to add weight? If weight were to be added maybe a larger/ heavier engine could be a possibility??
Sorry for carrying on I just love the look of this airplane and think that bang for the buck goes no better than an s9.
Thanks, Iain.
