I stumbled upon this aircraft and was told the wings are of a heavier, sandwich build, instead of the classic swift lite wings (the ones you can leave a dent on just by grasping at the wrong spot).
I am trying to research about that version of a Swift, and all I found is a reference on delta-club 82 which states the weight of the Swift at 59kg (https://www.delta-club-82.com/bible/doc/reportage millenium.pdf)
The owner added the engine, and a 25l tank, also the full fairing and a tricycle wheel, so its hard to know the real empty weight of the base aircraft.
So just asking, has anyone ever heard of there being 2 different versions of the Swift (built by Aeriane, not Brightstar)?
Or in other words, does anyone know how much lighter is the Swift Lite is from the original Swift?
Aeriane hasnt been very keen on responding to my emails.
