Wow...that doesn't leave much flexibility for passengers. Why would someone
want an aircraft that you couldn't take anyone with you (other than
aerobatics of course)? I suppose if you used the aircraft for "commuting"
it might make sense.

weight.


The Taylorcraft (Sport?) that's supposed to go into manufacture would
likely be overweight with TWO adult American males on board.
