I love my Tommie but the MAUW is a real issue for me. Empty weight is about 1250Lbs and 20 US gallons of avgas weighs 120lbs. With a max weight of 1670 this leaves me with 21 stones allowed for pilot/passenger combined. I am a reasonable 12 stones and hence my passenger can only be about 9 stones before the aeroplane is overloaded. As mentioned on another thread this and the C150 must be some of the most regularly overloaded aircraft out there! I keep it for solo work/flying with the missus but have to hire a PA28 for taking anyone heavier, which is a bit of a bind when I have my Tommie...
