Hello,
What is the maximum weight for the pilot seat?
I heard for the pass max 200 pounds
Now the front seat I think guy tall 6,3 fit but what is the maximum weight and width ?
Thanks for your help
 
It?s going to depend on the W&B of the aircraft. I?m 6?2?, 240 pounds and wear a chute every flight. My max weight in the back seat is 218, landing with 7 gallons of fuel.
 
I m selling this RV4 and people ask me
Are you athletic guy?
This one have good shoulder
Plane have O320 with wood prop .
Possible passenger her wife at 130 pounds so even if he have 20 gallons should be ok
The shoulder maybe the problem
 
I'm 6-2 and at one point was up to 255 it's tight but I fit in it fine. I have a 360 with a constant speed prop so I can go up to a pretty big rear seater and stay in the cg range. Empty mine out of cg forward.

My W&B calculator says with 28 gallons of fuel onboard and no passenger or baggage, you can weigh up to 300lbs and still be under gross and in CG
