Thanks for the info I am trying to loose some "mass" but i have been over weight my whole life so its pretty hard but after reading some replies i dont want to give it up also i dont want to wait 12 months for me to loose some weight as im SOOO close to getting my GFPT.
Got some more info today off the CFI when i questioned him his reply was " the weight limit is set because if you crash the aircraft the seat could buckle under the weight SO I WOULDNT BE COVERED BY INSURANCE" so its not a personal thing its a money thing.
I think i might move schools can anyone recommend a good one i was thinking of schofields-flying-club are they anygood or Clamback & Hennessy.
As for the COG thing i would have the aircraft fully fueled and put some weight in the back so it didnt throw things off.
Thanks for your replys so far.
