Look in mirror
My recommendation, take a good hard look in the mirror. I know that I need to lose 25 pounds (and I'm working on it - heading to the gym this morning). Your heart will appreciate you and you have a better chance of keeping your medical. You might even live longer!!
For the fit folks, you have to put your plane on the diet. |
Weight control...

Estimating the "extra weight" in my airplane and what could be saved by a more weight conscious person: Carpet 8 lbs. Too-heavy primer 10 lbs Too-heavy paint 10 lbs. Thick cushions 10 lbs. Heavy starter 8 lbs Total: 46 lbs. Subtracting that from my airplane's weight results in 985 lbs. Where does that other 40 lbs of savings come from? |

944 pounds, very impressed!
It seems to me from the posts here weight control (for the aeroplane at least!), is all about the basics, a minimum of gadgets on the panel, prop choice, starter/ alternator options, paint and comfort items inside. Thanks for all your replies to my question, and if anybody has anything else to add I look forward to it. Craig |
