In his own words - BWB and the OMABP

In article , Badwater Bill says...

Chuck:

John's a pretty big boy. I'm not so sure the Hawk would fly him. He
needs a Piper Cub minimum. Hell, I'm a runt next to John and I weigh
250.

Do you have a mod for big men on that thing?

BWB
I'm no skinny mini myself and I fly just fine I was 260 #. I have a 2 place
model we can configure for a single seat if they weigh over 320# Actually our
Plus model with a 65 hp engine would do just fine. We have a saying round these
parts "if you can get in you can get off" :-)

see ya

Damn, Chuck! A 200 inch takeoff? What have you done to the new models, to
be able to do that? ;-o)

The JATO option, obviously. Do we have to 'splain every detail to you? :-)

-90 mph depending on engine and slow fly at 35 or so with the flaps down. Got
single and 2 place.....End of obvious commercial

I think I saw Chuck on Junkyard Wars or some such show a while back. If
my recollection is at all correct, Chuck didn't look like a
welterweight himself. No offense, Chuck!

Bill,

You've been gaining weight if you're at 250 now... Last
time I saw you, you were around 230...

Actually, now that I'm retired and not sitting behind a
desk, I've lost about 15 to 20 pounds. Probably around 285
to 290 now. Sue even commented that my belly is smaller...
plus my pants are so loose that if I loosen my belt they
fall down..
