Dean, Don't panic, you need HP and room with the right CG. Get your weight to 190 to 200 and you can build a plane to handle 2 people. I remember Marty Roberts leaving Covington TN, back when he had more weight on him and he had a passenger in that plane who was larger than him. They were packed in like ... well packed. That plane took off like it had only a 150 pound pilot in it.

So, what you're telling me is this plane has a 224 lb capacity for the pilot and passenger.... If that's the case, exactly how is anyone flying this as a 2 place A/C (other than bringing their dog along for the ride)? I guess if I want a two place A/C, I need to set this one out on the curb on trash day and start over....
