 Some time ago, Chuck penned a story about learning to spray
I remember reading this, it's the reason I found this forum. Well I read it and then went looking for the author and someone else pointed me here.

Then last week I get kicked off the citabria for being a fat bastard
I have never heard of such thing. Why not just supply a smaller instructor and solo it should not make any difference. It's very distressing to hear this kind of shit.

Thanks, I should be okay.

The problem is the manufacturer never tested them with any pilots over 250 pounds so they don’t have charts for the center of gravity. They do for the Decathlon but not Citabria.

No reason to blame the FTU they need to please the insurance providers.

Generally I’m pretty happy in a 172. Maybe one day I can get access to something like a Bearhawk Patrol or a Bird Dog.
