Hello Andy,I've seen GOOD SIZED adults getting out of a coupe too! not getting in one perhaps is a better route >.I',m not trying to be smart assd about my answer but we all value safety and being over grossed in a coupe gives one pucker factor on take off as we have a shallow climb anyway.with 2 adult sized souls on board you would be pushing it !! Having a long paved RWY cool night, low elevation is a partial answer summers would leave your wife at home I'm afraid.What other types of aircraft are you looking into ?? ds 99564 in ILL

I weigh 245 and my wife weighs 185 I have been to flyins and have seen 2 good size adults get out of these planes, but when I run the numbers it doesn't seem to work. Was Fred being a little conservative with his numbers or is this a recipe for disaster? Would cross countries be out of the question?Thanks for the information, Andy============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/
