don't disagree with your main issues, there's almost never too much
power. (There can be too much torque though!) but 930lbs?
The best Europa Rotax monos come in at around 780 lbs and you can really
tell the difference in performance. Why carry around an extra 150lbs?
Too much paint, too many steam age instruments is part of the problem.
