Certification oh Canada eh?

I’m now registered as C-ILXQ
One additional thing they did require was a minimum useful load calculation:

1/2 Motor power in HP + 175. I put 182.5lbs
For motor power I used the Voltage and amperage on the readout under full initial climb. With my 6s cells I get 42Volts at 240amps which is just under 10kw. That converts to about 14.5hp.

This number has to be less than the actual useful load:
MTOW - Empty weight.
I put the empty weight as sans batteries to keep the actual useful load higher. I’d used my wing’s max load for MTOW which is only 105kg or 231lbs.

If you’re registering in Canada keep this calculation in mind. I’m thinking the MTOW could be much higher with a different wing.

Ha. I see I made a mistake on the form. Guessing they don’t actually scrutinize these things but it might jump out of the file for the aircraft if there is an investigation. :blush:
