As I said before, these specifications regarding performance are generalised.
I am waiting for someone with 2 stroke Bushbaby experience to send me some performance in formation. I do not fly a 2 stroke so would not be able to give accurate performance comparisons between 2 and 4 stroke equipped airframes.
As the aircraft are built to the customer specifications, we can not give an exact empty weight.
