The dry weight of the prototype was 200 lbs and it was designed
for 400 lbs gross, by real engineers.

I could not fly it, and I'm by no means, a lard butt. Under 170 lbs for
the pilot, it looks like to me.

I admit the same problem, due mostly to height. It would need to be scaled
up, which is not always a good idea, since it is difficult to scale myself
down. I am making some progress on the width and gross weight part of the
problem. :-)

None the less, an interesting design--even though it apears to be so
"traditional" as to use a tail skid to double as a brake.
