Yes, a flight manual is the ultimate reference for specs I suppose but some editors will check the references. I think 'reliable third party sources' is one of the criteria for references. As far as the level of detail in the specs goes, the fields are laid out using a standard aircraft template which can be filled out as required.
Glasair Sportsman 2+2 Diesel A Thielert Centurion 2.0s powered variant. Carbon Sportsman A variant with the fuselage constructed of carbon fiber rather than fiberglass.The weight savings of carbon fiber are negated by heavier duty cage, wing struts, and wing skins; both variants have the same empty weight, but the carbon variant gross weight is increased by 150 lb.

The B-2 design was also used as a transport. The B-2 was quickly made obsolete by technological advances of the 1930s, and served only briefly with the Army Air Corps, being removed from service by 1934. Following production of the B-2, Curtiss Aircraft left the bomber business, and concentrated on the Hawk series of pursuit aircraft in the 1930s.
