No worries Loewy!

If it helps, I have had

Me
Mrs P
Master P age 5 + car seat
Miss P age 2 1/2 + car seat
Big 3-wheeler buggy
Changes of clothes & cleaning equipment for the kids
Lots of fuel (tho can't remember if it was full tanks)

& flew it to a small airshow. With the canopy rather than a door it was a doddle to load & unload. Have to say, the looks we got from Joe Public when I was bringing out more... & more.... & more were hilarious!

This particular a/c was delivered from Austria & would apparently just about have made the trip non-stop. The yoke is set kind of high for my liking & with the long wings it handles a little like a glider & can float forever but it is a great a/c to fly & economical too.
