Should I be scared -- C172 over Gross
"tman" inv@lid wrote in message
news  Wow thanks for all the help guys. I showed this post and thread to the two potential pax. Why would you do that? Anyways, I think my weight problem is solved. Did you consider offloading fuel? I routinely do that on long XC's in my 182. For practical purposes, flight legs should be less than 3 hours for biological considerations, so having 5 or 6 hours' worth of fuel on board is doing nothing but adding worthless weight to the plane. Another good investment (if you own or rent very similar models) is a fuel measuring stick calibrated for the model you fly. This gives you a much better reading than the Mk1 EB. -- John T http://sage1solutions.com/blogs/TknoFlyer http://sage1solutions.com/products NEW!
