glad to find your site! been a fan of the 'coupe for many years. have flown about 10 hrs. in one, but was long ago, and i was much thinner than now.
which brings me to my question: when i first learned to fly, weight and balance were not the factors we now consider. it was simply: would it get off the ground and clear the trees?? now, we know better and supposedly watch our weights and balances more seriously. i weigh 260 pounds and am 6 ft. 4in. the height is not a problem, but i wonder if i will be doomed to flying solo forever unless i can get my weight down to around 225 and fly with a skinny little lady? are there weight and balance charts out for the coupe (older models, that is) or do we simply rely on the figures that are bantered about as being max gross, etc.??? any comments would be appreciated. john alexander east tawas, mi
