Well have you any data claimed 3311 kg for Hurricane MK1?? Casue i havent seen any. I wonder from where 1C got it? MAby russian books where Spitfires had wodden wings and russian planes outperform anything on the earth including UFO?

Backing to topic take off weight 6793 lbs ( 3081 kg) is the highest weight listed for Hurricane MK1 ( non tropical version) i have seen. Most data clamied much less take off wegiht ( probably without aditional armour)

Hurri had a complete wing re-skin from fabric to aluminium.

Which is already referenced in 1939 manuals. The skin stressed type wings were strength tested in 1940 for a 6700lb load.

Also, most of the props were de-havilland wich was more effective but heavier.

25lb.

A fully equipped MkIIa was 6998lb, according to the weight and balance chart in the manual. It essentially had all modifications that were included in the Mk.I, plus a few extras, and a heavier XX engine installation.

The Mk.II not only had a larger engine, it also had a supercharger. This meant the motor house had to be exanded by 4 inches, changing the COG a bit. As long as armament and fuel is acounted for, there's no way a Mk.II could be lighter than a late Mk.I.
