The nice thing about the Sensenich on the nose is that my empty CG is 69.3" and I can carry a lot of baggage.

My passenger weighs about 240lbs and we had 75lbs of baggage. Total weight with all on board was 1750lbs. We had no problems Flying to Winslow, but it sure was nice going from Winslow to Wichita Falls by myself in one hop and landing with 10 gal left. My passenger would not have enjoyed the 4.5 hrs flight. (The 14 hrs road trip in a 15 passenger van towing a generator was probably not much better for him.)

TX to BTR with a stop in Ruston, LA was hot but no trouble at all for the fully loaded 6A. John
