    Standin Here! No worries about the drifting off topic, maybe I should've titled it "Can a Fat Guy Fly!"

    Large Guy Vs. Light Plane...

    A little about my goals, I just wish to fly a few hours on weekends. As far as a profile, I'm 61 yrs of age. I was working on the general pilot license before the Heart attack. I now have an 30-35 ejection faction. My wife says the only way I'll fly is to buy a ticket and look out a window...

    OP Here! Sorry about the delay I've been on Grandpa-Babysitting duty 12 hours a day (with the wife's help). (Daughter is going thru a messy divorce, her Hubby found a newer model) I thought the Heart attack was bad LOL. I honestly did not expect the volume of interest! I'm humbled.

    Large Guy Vs. Light Plane...

    My first real post. Problem: I'm 6'1" and 300 lbs and have heart disease. So, its light Sport or part 103. Are there any plans that part 103 and light enough, yet, strong enough for me to fly. Thanks for the help and information!

    What could be done to reinvent the Affordaplane to a more homogeneous project?

    I have a new copy of the plans, and mine also says on page 52 "Do cover..." I wonder if the plans are referring to the second 1/2 of the plane, the boom?; not the open cabin.

    120hp / 200hp Turboprop Engines

    What is the estimated gph of the engine? I could not find this on the website. This would be interesting in my soon to be started Bearhawk4! Whoops the answer is 14.5 I found it in FAQs.
