Neither am I! I weigh 97 KG and I have quite happily carried 100KG people with me + weekend luggage and a full tank.LS
ULH,
The discussion is about UK microlights, with a MTOW of 450kg. The CTSW has been lightened to fit into the category, which has a maximum zero fuel weight of 450kg, less the weight of one hour of fuel at maximum continuous power, less 2 x 86kg occupants = 268kg in this case. The weight limit for each seat is 100kg.

You don't know how lucky you are with such light regulation in your country.
