Default Certified to fly more than a plane

| I also flew a few experimentals, such as
| the Prescott Pusher when Mr. Prescott needed a flight
| review.


| How much ballast did he remove/add when you got in/out?


The plane we flew didn't require ballast changes with the
two of us in the front seat. I thought the plane had a
terrible forward view, the windshield frame was thick and I
had to scrunch in the seat to see under it, otherwise it was
as big as a 2x4 right in front of my eyes.
I didn't like the airplane.


I was referring to solo flight. The two flying articles I am familiar
with each required 60 pounds of ballast in the nose when flown solo.
