G'day

Try a Murphy Rebel.

I am 6'6" and #300 and there is room for two people like me in there as
well as a heap of luggage.

Mine is powered by a Rotax 100hp engine and cruises at 100mph and uses less
than 5 US gallons an hour!
It has excellent short field capabilities and does not have any unpleasant
vices. What more could you ask.

The only difficulty is that you have to be a real pilot as it is a
taildragger! grin

Been away for awhile, the CH 701 doesn't look as good as I first hoped,
I found one near here and was surprised how small it is. Now I
understand why most of the photos found online don't show other
aircraft next to them, the CH701 would be dwarfed by a Cessna 150!

I'm a big guy, so that little two place doesn't leave room for a second
person for me, the CH 801 looks much better but requires more runway to
get in and out.

I believe that the STOL King might be better suited for my needs, if I
can believe the performance figures on the www.preceptoraircraft.com
web site.
