You are probably over the seat weight limitation with a parachute, but a
co-owner of another Duo out here weighs more. There's plenty of room in
the back (but not the front). We re-rigged the rear rudder pedals so
they lean farther forward than the stock position (they are still within
the tolerances specified by the maintenance manual). This makes the
rear seat more comfortable for taller pilots.
