WARNING!
Should one of the above-listed values be exceeded, others MUST be reduced in

gage weight must NEVER be exceeded as it can influence aircraft’s balance to the point when the
aircraft becomes uncontrollable!

ing 14 kg on itself), must keep luggage weight below 1 kg (model 503), 2kg (model 582),
4 kg (model 912) to keep aircraft’s centre of gravity within safe range.
