  • LSA load factor limits

    Does anyone know the load factor limit rating for the LSA?

    I'm not quick sure what your are looking for?

    The gross weight limit for LSA compliance is 1,320 lbs. The Bearhawk LSA is actually designed to a gross weight of 1,500 lbs. in the Utility Category. Bobs proto has an empty weight of 728 lbs. with no electric and the first kit build LSA has a empty weight of 818 lbs. with electric. Using those two examples is a useful load of 502 lbs. to 592 lbs. to be LSA compliant or 682 lbs. to 772 lbs. in the Utility Category.

    CATEGORY LIMIT LOAD
    Normal [1] ------------------------------------- 3.8 -1.52
    Utility (mild acrobatics, including spins) ----- 4.4 -1.76
    Acrobatic -------------------------------------- 6.0 -3.0

    Is that what you were looking for?

      That's it. I must have missed the utility cat reference in the literature...
