Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I'm just not seeing it. From what I can deduce from the operating limitations the maximum pilot weight is 263 lbs? My weight is 250 lbs. Too heavy for the 50 hp engine & airframe? Thanks!

This is from the pilot that is slightly overweight....would it be possible to mount the Hirth 32\65hp engine to replace the current Hirth 50HP? Thanks for your quick response's from last Fall!
Maximum take-off weigh is 518lbs. Empty weight oscilates at 253lbs. So payload (fuel and pilot) is 265lbs.
You have 15lbs for fuel then.
In theory.
245lbs is max pilot weight for the 50hp so you are close.
