Jabiru Calypso weight problem

[simonreeve]

Can anyone help. This concerns two friends of mine here in the UK who have all but completed their Jabiru Calypso microlight home build only to have been told that it is 43KG (yes that IS 43Kg) overweight. Certainly they have tarted it up with carpet, leather seats and such like but not to the tune of 43kg! Even by removing all the luxuries thay cannot see a reduction of this size.

 

Is this machine close to the limit even in its most basic form? Advice appreciated.

I suppose the first thing we need to know is that with a full tank of fuel?

 

There are plenty of guys who will be to point you in the right direction....
