LSA MTOW (1350 lbs.) minus Ecoflyer empty wt (750 lbs.) = 600 lb. useful load. Originally Posted by ryan1234

So, the 600 lbs. is for cargo+people+pets+fuel. Minus 30 gal. fuel (180 lbs.) that leaves only 420 lbs. for everything. Two people will knock 400 lbs. off that easy. Now you are down to 20 lbs. It will be no time before someone goofs up, throws a dog or a loaded ice chest in the back... the picture is not pretty.
