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.

Can't speak to that, he arrived at the airport well before I
got back from a trip, he may have had a passenger or he may
have removed ballast. I just know it flew OK but I didn't
like the cockpit or the visibility from the right seat. It
was a long time ago. He didn't try to check me out in the
airplane and since he was a designer, I didn't try to teach
him systems. We concentrated on FAR 91 and flight
maneuvers.
