I have gained weight (for reasons beyond my control but doesn't everyone say that?) and at 310 lbs sans clothing, I am way beyond the spec for pilot in the CII, which is set at 250 lbs. So it is for sale, too. :) So what I'd like to know from you guys, is are my W&B and CG calcs accurate? I did them with (a) me, full fuel, and no one else, (b) me and passengers up to gross allowable, (c) me and 3 gallons of fuel, and (d) me with pax and 3 gallons of fuel. All were with 35 lb baggage, and all were using Mark Langfords owners manual numbers as published on his web page. Ok, physical part: even at 310, all my weight is forward, in the gut. Very little sideways widening. I'm 5'11". Can I comfortably and safely do long cross-countries? Or will I be unsafe and/or unhappy? :( My primary goal is to do the Pilot&Paws thing, and of course visit people and places over time. Not sure how practical it will be, due to just room on the pax side, to take anything but a few puppies.
