Dear Dean, I am not rying to be a smart ass but I do have some advice. I weighed 213 lbs in January of 2002. In May I was down to 190 and have retained that weight for over a year and a half. I went on the Atkins diet and I have been on about everyone they ever had. It is the only one that did exactly what the book said it would do. I eat fat, protien, cream, butter, meats, fish, pork, chicken...little to none carbohydrates. Pw\eople laughed at Dr. Atkins for years and called him crazy...now that he has died, they are finally admitting that he was on to something. Your weight will seriously affect just who you can take with you on the flight, what type of engine are you using, and how you laid out your CG. It would be better to build it and not worry about who you can take up with you unless you go to a different plane.
