Maximum weight (Landplane) 1200 lb. See NOTE 6 for 1260lb.

No. of seats 2 (+20) 
Maximum baggage 75 lb. (+40) 
Fuel capacity 14 gal. (+40). Placard required:  “Full carburetor air heat required for takeoff and landing.”  The reason 
for this placard is that during takeoff acceleration and initial high-angle-of-attack climb, the fuel flow 
may not be adequate for proper operation.  Application of full carburetor heat in this case helps 
overcome the possible deficiency of fuel flow during takeoff.  Carburetor ice is not a basic consideration 
in requiring this placard.  (See also items 101, 102, 106, 111, 112, and 115 for optional tanks.).

NOTE 2.    The following placards must be installed on the instrument panel or other location as noted below:  
                   (a)    When item 101 is installed:  “Auxiliary fuel not to be used as reserve.” 
                   (b)    For model T-8F:  “Solo from front seat only.” 
                   (c)    When item 126.H.(1) and two tanks are installed: 
  “1.  Use left tank for take-off and unit at least three-fourths fuel is expended. 
                              2.  Use right tank until expended. 
                              3.  Use left tank thereafter.”

                   (e)    When item 204 or 212 is installed, following placard on fuselage skin near hoisting lugs:  “Spreader -bar must     
                            be used during hoisting.” 
                   (f)    When item 604 is installed:  “Do not lower flaps above 90 m.p.h. TIAS.”  
                   (g)    All model 8A airplanes equipped with carburated Continental A-65 engines and fuselage mounted fuel tank, the  
                            following placard is required to be installed on the instrument panel in plain view of the pilot! 
 
                            Placard required:  “Full carburetor air heat required for takeoff and landing.”  The reason for this placard is that 
                            during takeoff acceleration and initial high-angle-of-attack climb, the fuel flow may not be adequate for proper 
                            operation.  Application of full carburetor heat in this case helps overcome the possible deficie ncy of fuel flow during 
                            takeoff.  Carburetor ice is not a basic consideration in requiring this placard.
