gilgsn Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hello, I read in CP5 that the VariEze can acomodate two 6'4'' individuals.. Is this actually the case? I am concerned mostly about the front seat, being 6'2'', 200Lbs. With a O-200, alternator but no started, how much weight would be left for the passenger? What is actually practiced? Thanks, Gil.

danpilot91 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 My Buddy flys mine he is 6' 3" 230 lbs. not much left over for passenger. Have done half tanks and 150-180lb passengers with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spg_76013 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Dan - A compilation of reported weights for over 100 VariEze from the CSA archives shows empty weights ranging from 550 lb to 1050 lb, with an average of 697 lb. Some folks fly above the 1050-lb handbook maximum, perhaps rationalizing that the current 2.5G-restriction recommended by RAF for all VariEzes allows for a higher gross weight (it does not).
