Continentel O300 by
Stjepan Nikolic
Well, my C172A definitely can take 4 people (2 adults 155kg + 2 children 90kg), plus full 140 lit tanks and there is 50kg spare to carry.
Unfortunately this is not possible in C172N with 180 lit tanks unless departing with less fuel.

Given the fact that Airbus airliners employ fly-by-wire control
systems, when will we see a similar scenario killing hundreds of
airline passengers?
Oh, wait. This is very similar to what happened to two Boeing 737 MAX
flights.
Perhaps Musk and...
