Yes, many people can of course lose weight, but if you get someone who's just a big person but still makes it under the seat limit, with an 85 kg instructor, not unreasonable, you're at max all up and on the forward c of g limit. Putting extra fuel in moves the c of g back approximately in line with the sloping upper forward envelope boundary, so there wouldn't be a great change in where you sit regarding cyclic position.
All I'm suggesting is if it could happen with the Jet Ranger in (I assume) response to public demand, there might be some tweaking and pencil sharpening the Robinson engineers could do if it's not going to create an undue hazard.
im pretty sure that if they could they would.
Maybe, but the 206 was around a fair few years before they upped the max weight internally loaded.
Can't they drink less beer
Cough...splutter...what!?
